Free Agent Bidding:
The process for signing a Free Agent is to create a new thread in the "Unrestricted Free Agents" sub-board under "Free Agency". The thread should have the player's correctly spelled name, NFL team and position in the subject, and a valid bid as the message. Other GMs may reply in this thread with higher bids for the player. The bidding will end when 24 hours has passed since the last valid bid.
We use a point system where every million dollars equals one point, and every year adds a multiplier.
contract years add value based on the following:
1 Yr = 1X multiplier ---- 1 Yr @ 5 mil = 5 X 1 = 5 pts
2 Yr = 1.15X multiplier ---- 2 Yrs @ 5 mil = 5 X 1.15 = 5.75 pts
3 Yr = 1.30X mulitplier ---- 3 Yrs @ 5 mil = 5 X 1.30 = 6.5 pts
4 Yr = 1.45X multiplier ---- 4 Yrs @ 5 mil = 5 X 1.45 = 7.25 pts
5 Yr = 1.60X multiplier ---- 5 Yrs @ 5 mil = 5 X 1.60 = 8.00 pts
More Examples:
---- 1 yr @ 1 mil = 1 x 1 = 1 pt
---- 3 yrs @ 1 mil = 1 X 1.3 = 1.3 pts
---- 1 yr @ 1.4 mil = 1.4 X 1 = 1.4 pts
---- 3 yrs @ 1.3 mil = 1.3 X 1.3 = 1.69 pts
---- 1 yr @ 1.8 mil = 1.8 X 1 = 1.8 pts
More Examples:
1 yr @ 10 mil = 10 x 1 = 10 pts
2 yr @ 9 mil = 9 x 1.15 = 10.35 pts
3 yr @ 8.5 mil = 8.5 x 1.3 = 11.05 pts
1 yr @ 12 mil = 12 x 1 = 12 pts
4 yrs@ 8.5 mil = 8.5 x 1.45 = 12.33 pts
3 yrs@ 9.6mil = 9.6 x 1.30 = 12.48 pts
1 yr @ 12.6 mil = 12.6 x 1 = 12.6 pts
Players may be signed for a maximum of 5 years and your math must be correct for the bid to be valid. The minimum raise for a valid bid will be $100,000 or .1 points.
The minimum salary for a FA is set at $0.5 per season.
You must have salary cap space available for a bid to be valid (remember, any Free Agency bids in which you are the leading bidder also count towards your salary cap).
During the season, you must also have roster space available for the bid to be valid (remember, roster limits are lifted during the pre-season). This means you must have less than 50 active players, or if the player is practice squad eligible, you must have room on the practice squad and no more than 50 active players. Players on waivers do not count towards your roster limit. You may conditionally waive a player to make roster space for a player as detailed in the "Conditional Waivers" section below.
If a team makes a free agent bid which would put them over the roster or cap limit, or deletes a bid once posted, a Cap Penalty will be issued of $1.
