Franchising Players:
Teams may Franchise one player with an expiring contract each season--either a Franchise Tag (FT), or a Transition Tag (TT). If the player is traded, the team trading the player may not franchise another player that year. The team receiving the player may still franchise a player and maintain all franchised players for that year.
A GM can decide to withdraw its franchise or transition designations on a player (simply reply in the thread "withdrawn". Do not delete the thread). If withdrawn, the player then automatically becomes an unrestricted free agent, either immediately or when his contract expires. After withdrawing the designation however, the club cannot designate another player during the same season.
The same player may receive a franchise tag (FT or TT) a maximum of 3 seasons in a row.
If a player is tagged 2 years in a row he must be paid 125% of the current year's franchise tag.
If a player is tagged 3 years in a row he must be paid 150% of the current year's franchise tag.
Franchise tags are based on the average salary of the 5 highest paid players at their position (or 120% of their previous salary, whichever is higher) and will be determined at the end of each season for the following season.
Transition tags are based on the average salary of the 10 highest paid players at their position (or 120% of their previous salary, whichever is higher) and will be determined at the end of each season for the following season.
The player is non-exclusive and can be bid upon like Tenders but with 2 first round picks compensation
The bid must be equal to or greater value than the tender.
A GM who bids upon the player can only put one bid in, if this is beaten then he can no longer win that player
The owner cannot then try and resign the player if bid upon
If no bids are received the player re-signs at the lower franchise tag rate (Current or Previous Year)
Once given a Transitional Tag they cannot be tagged the following year with either a franchise or transitional tag again
Extensions:
Each year teams can select to extend one and only one player to a longer contract, this can only be done to a player with more than 1 year left on their contracts. The deadline for extending contracts is the opening of Free agency in the Spring. i.e, after that any players with 1 year left on their contract become unable to be extended. In our inaugural draft, players that expire in 2013 or later. A player cannot receive back to back extensions.
To extend a players contract the GM must first select the player and make an offer on the 'Contract Extension' board. Offers must be structured as follows:
1 yr @ 75% of Franchise tag or 100% of current salary
2 yrs @ 100% of Franchise tag or 110% of current salary
3 yrs @ 125% of Franchise tag or 120% of current salary
4 yrs @ 150% of Franchise tag or 130% of current salary
(Whichever number is higher)
