Front Loaded Contracts(2.0)

[Clinton]

Front Loaded Contracts:...pause

A team may sign a player to a front loaded contract: ex. 16.5M / 14M / 12.5M

When giving a player a contract offer, you will still message Ashes in the same terminology used previously for signing players.
Ex. Player Name – 1st year salary - # of years - % increase

Only after the player is signed / resigned you will message Ashes that you want them Front-Loaded and it will be tracked in this thread.

Rules:
1. Teams may only do this once every 3 seasons

2. You must make your decision on using a front loaded contract IMMEDIATELY.
*No waiting for another sim or taking time to think; have it figured out

3. Cost:
1000 RP for Resignings
1250 RP for Free Agents

Is the deadline for front loading resignings TC or FA day 1?

[quady]

It seems way too powerful to get to decide post-hoc if you strike out on other FA targets. IMO should have to declare immediately upon signing or even beforehand

All I did was change rule 2 and 3 to reflect if you have someone that offers to resign, make it known you want to front-load before FA1. For rule 3, its if you have any free agent signings, make it known that you want to front-load before TC.

Yes but Ashes’ post in the other thread said that the deadline for both was TC for consistency - which is why this is confusing.

I def get Quady’s pov, I’m totally happy either way. Just want to know what the rule is so that I can put in S+T offers with the space I’d have without the front loaded contract

@ashes think we still need an answer here if you can
