Im thinking for next year we could add a 2nd extension contract to teams that would want to pay for them. The catch would be you would have to lose a draft pick IE: you pay a 2014 2nd to extend a player for 1yr You pay a 2014 1st to extend a player for 2yrs I think the cost of these extensions should rise maybe 130% of that players last yr of his deal or the standard 5mil if it would be less than 5 mil like we do now. All of the these draft picks would be put in to a pool and then bid on prior to the Rookie Draft. Maybe to keep the league competitive we could allow the last say 10 teams or so able to bid on them using salary cap. The bids would be a 1yr cap hit for the draft picks. Im just trying to get ideas, if you guys think I'm crazy feel free and voice your opinion and also speak up if you think something needs to be implemented at all. I think now would be the time to start talking about possible ideas for the future so people can plan ahead with their teams. Keep it classy on here folks Commish

I could see that, but at the same time I wouldn't want the UFA pool to die out that bad in the coming years. A 1st could warrant a lot more though.

I would like to push for every team being able to extend 2 players a year.with 30 to 50 player rosters it would be nice to keep a lot of your team together.I think there is going to be to much turnover to rosters.

cool, seems that people are digging it, just would have to figure out the technical parts of said rule

the thing about giving up picks is a lot of teams have already traded there picks so it wouldn't work with losing picks.

not necessarily, they could trade for say a 2nd if they really wanted to extend an extra guy

I've taken a few days to think about this idea. First, I do like the idea of adding a second contract extension to the mix. But, when we're talking about losing first and second round picks, I don't know that there will be a whole lot of incentive to do so. Let's take the 2nd rounder for a one year extension example. I believe that the 2nd round of any rookie draft it still loaded with talent, it's not until the mid to late 3rd round that it becomes a lottery. What incentive would there be for any GM in this league to lose a young player that he could have locked up for a minimum of 5 years when the contract extension is only one year in length. While the first round pick gets you a two year extension, is it worth potentially losing a first round draft pick, a potential stud in the draft that could be had for a minimum of 5 years for those two years? I guess what I'm asking is wouldn't using 3rd, 4th and 5th rounders for extensions be a better value in exchange for one or two years of a contract extension?

yeah its not a concrete thing, a can see the value of the first being worth at least a regular 3 yr extension and a 2nd being a 2 yr extension, it was mainly an example. With our powers combined I think we can iron it out to be a solid rule addition. I do think however, anymore than a 2 yr extension for giving a 2nd would be extreme and I don't think the additional extension should be anymore than the current extension at 3yrs.

How about a 3 year extension for a first rounder, a two year extension for a second rounder and 1 year extension for a 3rd rounder?

im not sure if I would want to incorporate a 3rd as these picks would be meant to be bid on and it could dampen the UFA pool, but in the same token if there is only one additional extension then that could easily be open for everyone if 3rds were in there

perhaps this extension could only be used once on a certain player as well, because if I have say Aaron Rodgers... I could just drop a 3rd pick every year to keep him extended on my team.

Just my two cents, free agency is really really fun, league becomes super active. I'm all in for two extensions , just worried a little about loosing free agency.

^ i think in the same token free agency will be deeper in a league like this obe naturally due to starting so many players and positions like cb and dt

I'm more in favor of a plan like Lions posted. Just add a 2nd extension option each year. The league and rosters are big enough. Realistically you could make it possible to extend a guy twice like many are asking for, just not at the expense of the future of your team in draft picks.
My concern in involving picks for extensions is that inevitably guys will make dumb extensions, which will then be compounded by losing picks on top of it. In these leagues a lot of owners will just bail when they screw up the team. Now you're stuck with a mess to get someone to fix but they will have the long bad extension and no picks. Not a great way to be able to bargain. If you waive the guy then you have a long cap hit.
At least if extensions are not tied to picks, you can still use the picks to help rebuild or replace.
Just my thought. Structuring fair rules on the picks will be tough.
