RFA Contract 

Post#1 » by MGTOW » Tue Jun 9, 2015 8:06 pm

Can a team offer a RFA a contract of 1+1 contract with the player getting an opt out of the 2nd season. Or can a team just offer a player a 1 year contract as a RFA?

A player's current team can offer contracts of any length from 1-5 years, with the last year on any deal (2 years or more) a player or team option if agreed upon.

Other teams can only make offer sheets for 2-4 years (no 1 year deals allowed), with a minimum of 2 guaranteed years (team or player options only allowed for the last year of a 3-4 year deal). If a player's current team offers a 5 years contract, then they can only sign outside offer sheets for 3 or 4 years, with player/team options only allowed for 4 year deals (3 years guaranteed min).

That is not correct.

The criteria to make the outside team have to offer at least 3 set-in-stone seasons is not just some sort of 5-year qualifying offer, but rather a QO that is max everything - max years (5), max salary, and max raises each year (7.5%) with every penny guaranteed and no options or ETO.

OK.

If a player was Rose-rule eligible, but only got a 25% max deal (or something between 25% and 30%) would that count?

The “Rose rule” applies to a rookie scale extension, which would have been agreed to before the fourth year of the player’s rookie scale contract. If the player is now finishing the fourth season of his rookie scale contract and is an RFA receiving a max QO, then by default that means he never agreed to a rookie scale extension the previous offseason and the 5th Year 30% Max is no longer an option. As a result, the 25% max is the only salary that can be offered as part of a max QO (so to answer your specific question, yes, the 25% max would count). Apologies if I misunderstood your question.
