Contract questions

Does anyone know how many years a player stays Poison Pilled, BYCed and such?

Like Mo for example signed his deal this year for 6 years. How many more of those years will Mo be BYC?

BYC= Base Year Contract (right?)

So only the first unless everything I ever thought I knew was a lie.

base year- 1st year of deal

there is no set time or date that a poison pill clause expires, unless it's written that way in the particular contract.

I think it ends once the season ends for us.

Damnit Adam, where is the "My sources" sig and etc... That was the funniest thing on this board, IMO.

I think you have confused poison pill with something else, although what you mention above really wouldn't apply to anything I can think of, not even a trade kicker, which is what I'm guessing you may be confusing poison pill with?

As for poison pill, it is not a clause written in a contract. It is an automatic status very similar to BYC. In fact, a player who is PPP one year will also end up being BYC the following year assuming that the extension would trigger a BYC year, which it would in all but the rarest of rare instances.

I think we did a pretty good job here explaining BYC and PPP

but if anyone has any additional questions still after reading that FAQ entry, let me know.

Not yet. I took 2 of the 3 exams, so I still have one remaining (March), and have to turn in my symphony. Hoping to be done by the middle of the summer.
