I just wanted to document what the previous RFA rules were for future reference:
Restricted Free Agency will follow a closed bidding format. You may only bid once per player. Also, the owner of the player who has RFA status will be allowed to match the winning bid as long as he does so within a THREE DAY period. You may offer a MAXIMUM of four years to any RFA. If a team decides not to match the winning RFA bid then the team that won the bid will receive the player and give the other team draft pick(s) in compensation. Draft pick(s) compensation will be based on the type of tender placed on a particular player. Teams with RFAs may tender these players at the end of their contract.
*You do not need to offer a tender, a player becomes an UFA if you decline to offer him a tender*
Tender Prices
$455,000 tender -- 3rd round draft pick
$600,000 tender -- 2nd round draft pick.
$800,000 tender -- 1st round draft pick.
$1,100,000 tender -- 1st and 2nd round draft picks.
