I do see an issue witht he 1mill/year increase.... this REALLY should be on a %.... jumping from 5 to 6 mill is one thing... but 100k to 1.1 mill is insanity....
I have MSN too. So I can also be a part of it when it is time.
OK...there is a lot here to address...let me start with this and then I will address other issues as needed.
When you first sign a player you sign him to a one year contract. A players salary does not increase until year three. For example, I drafted Jake Delhomme at $5 mil. If I choose to resign him to a one year contract next season he will get a contract for $5 mil. However, if I choose to give him a long term deal, then his salary goes up. Let's say I give him a 3 year deal. He contract numbers would then be: $5mil, $6mil, $7mil. Hence, whenever you sign a free agent he plays at the same salary for two years in a row.
I am also not against increasing the salary cap each year. But I don't want to go crazy. If we went up $3-5 mil a year I would go along with that. I am also in favor of decreasing the number of players that need to be kept, if needed.
Does these points help at all?
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
I also like the idea of a conference call using MSN.
what are the benefits of long term contracts if you can just sign players to one year contracts
you can't. you can sign a player to a 1 year deal only once.
What about doubling the contract each year ?
That would only work for the 500K and below players.
