I would really really like to see the rule that is in Prime come into effect next year regarding backloading or front loading contracts.
I think it worked great in Prime this year, I believe it adds another dimension to UFA and makes it even more strategic. Here is some more information regarding it.
Frontload/ Backload RULES
Restructuring Contracts of FA's
When signing a player either though FA a GM can chose to structure the contract how they like to make it work cap wise. This is similar to real NFL contracts where teams can frontload or backload a contract.
Teams must keep at least 20% of salary in every year of the contract
So if it’s 3@5= 7points (15m total)
3M has to be minimum salary
For example:
3/5.5/6.5=15
The FA bid post MUST include the restructured contract for the player
We will still use the current FA bidding rules and bidding system but the contract will need to be added in the post
Teams can restructure the rest of the years how they want but can never go over salary for any future year or penalties will apply. Normal bidding & waiver rules stilldoes apply
Owners can restructure as many FA/ RFA players they want. Once a player is won the contract cannot be altered
This will hopefully be in Destiny Next year...any thoughts on having it in here.
This rule was created by Laura (Texans), Mikey (49ers) and myself.
