Aka you can only franchise someone twice. If you franchise them a second time its 120% of the salary. You can already do this with a 3 Up. Basically they are asking to add a 4th 3 Up with this rule. Which will kill FA even deader than it already is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RFA rules in place you basically keep late rounders for 4 years anyway All of them. He wants the cheapest guys possible the longest possible years and to get around the RFA rules.

SirA1 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 4 hours ago, Hockey5djh said: Any reason why we're putting this in? have 6 year deals become a detriment to the league? Most NFL deals aren't this long anymore. It's all about the Guaranteed money which isn't an issue in BDL because unless you 3 down someone it's all Guaranteed. Basically deals go to 6 years just to try and push other teams out. So it's a benefit for the Owners and not the players. The average FA players would get more Money per year at a 5 years limit.

There weren't many people signed in FA to begin with because of this restriction. I think raising it just puts more people in the Tank for 1 year deals. Also if the person is worth the spend in FA more than likely there will be more than one person who thinks so as well and naturally will raise the price tag. This won't effect the guys "not signed because of this restriction" as you say. It's more of a simplification for the Math that people always get wrong. It's easier to just look and see what half of the Avg Salary is to start with. Most players that are worth bidding up on reach this amount anyway. So it's just cutting down all the initial min bidding up dithering that lasts for days and eventually leads people to switch off to other targets. This would speed up that process.

Comparatively, we've been at $170 for awhile now and the NFL salary cap for 2017 was only $167M. This year it jumped to $177M and next year is supposed to go to $190. A $20K increase for next year is insane IMO. We also don't have all the other minutiae of the NFL Salary cap like carrying over cap and dead cap space, which is something we don't want. So having the caps be equal make no sense IMO. You're right, I thought we had discussed this already but forgot the actual vote. I'm fine with holding to a standardized cap raising system, that said regardless of the minor details like carrying cap and dead space I think we'll want to be closer to the NFL cap rather than farther from it as those minor details don't affect every team and don't have a very large effect, comparatively, unless you're Jerry Jones.

I don't see the reason to restrict these deals in the BDL unless they're prohibitive or detrimental. Most players of this caliber in the BDL will get 3up'd anyway and their deal would be restricted to their NFL deal. Correct me if I'm wrong but the only deal off the top of my head that went over 5 years was Fletcher Cox who got a 6 year deal IRL anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, I get the "easy math" argument but it seems like a dumb reason to raise the limit IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with 501 and everything to do with matching IRL contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hometown discounts are almost nonexistent in the NFL, so I don't like the idea of increasing ours. I'd rather keep it updated a year or so ahead of time as we have been. We have enough ways to keep guys. I think 3Ups more than make up for this. Matching RL would make life easier. Even less people would bid on FAs. Largely irrelevant, but it does make everything match the NFL a bit more closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
