ANNOUNCEMENT
FREE AGENCY
Free Agency will begin on Wednesday June 26 at 12PM. No offers for free agents will be accepted before that time. The league will also reopen for business at that time and any transactions that have been made since the conclusion of the draft will be processed then.
Free agency will work almost the same way it did last year, with one minor change. Once again, the 30 franchises have been rated on four categories (Winning franchise, Star player, Player happiness, Future).
Winning Franchise- The record of each team including playoff performances over a three year span (two in our case because we've only played two seasons).
Star Player- The top rated player on each team.
Player happiness- How happy is your star player. Is your franchise a winning franchise? Have you made moves to make it a winning franchise? Etc... this is the one category that has some subjectiveness to it.
Future- The average age of your six highest paid players combined with the draft capital that your team owns over the next three years.
The teams have been broken down into tiers using these four categories. The higher the tier that your team is in, the less you will need to spend to sign a free agent. Just like real life, the draft is for the teams at the bottom of the league and free agency is for the teams at the higher end. This doesn't mean that free agents will not sign with teams that missed the playoffs last year. It simply means that those teams will have to outspend a team above it on the list if they are competing for the same player. The wider the difference between tiers, the more the lower team will have to spend.
The one change for free agency this year is that teams will be able to bid on more than one player at a time, as long as the team does not offer more than their total amount of cap space or the total amount of roster spaces they have available, for the players that they bid on. Last year, teams could only put offers in for one player at a time. People didn't like this so we will try allowing this change this year. However, you will be responsible for making sure that your bids are legal. If I receive offers that will put your team over the cap, I will disregard the entire offer. Also, if you lead a bid on one player but lose a bid on another, you can not retract a leading bid to offer more for the player you are losing so be careful submitting multiple bids.
Example:
Team 1 has $68 in cap space and 5 open roster spaces
Free Agent offer sheet
Player A- $20/4 years
Player B- $28/4 years
Player C- $10/4 years
Player D- $8/2 years
Player E- $2/1 year
This would be a legal bid because the total amount of money they would spend is equal to the total amount of cap space they have available. They also don't offer more contracts then roster spaces available in this offer.
If they lead the bidding on players A, C, D and E but are not leading for player B, they can not up their offer to player B until another team beats them out for one of the other players they have leading bids on. I'm sure that may sound confusing so if their are any questions, let me know.
Bids are once again sent via PM and will be anonymous until the player signs. All players that have offers will be posted in the free agent page of our mega thread. I will act as the players agent and let teams know if they have the leading bid or what it will take to beat the leading bid.
From June 26-July 2 (No players will sign for 6 hours after I post the offer to the free agent page. Teams will have six hours from that point to inquire and beat the leading bid).
July 3-July 10 (No players will sign for 4 hours after I post the offer to the free agent page. Teams will have four hours from that point to inquire and beat the leading bid).
July 11-July 18 (No players will sign for 2 hours after I post the offer to the free agent page. Teams will have two hours from that point to inquire and beat the leading bid).
July 19-July 25 (No players will sign for 1 hour after I post the offer to the free agent page. Teams will have one hour from that point to inquire and beat the leading bid).
Any remaining free agents will sign instantly with any team offering them a contract after July 25.
Any questions on FA, and how it works, let me know. The tiers will be posted tonight.
