Draft Contracts:
- All 2nd round draft picks can have their extended to a 3rd year at $1,000,000 if their GM wishes to do so. This must be done before Training Camp of their rookie season. There is no charge for this.
- 1st round draft picks Rookie contracts will now align more closely with the real life rookie contract. The 3rd and 4th year of every 1st round pick's contracts are now team options. This means that the team can decide to keep the player at the listed price or decline the team option and owe nothing. This can be done after the end of the regular season and must be done before the draft is complete. The default choice will be to accept the option and have the player stay on the team. There will be a thread for posting players whose options you decline.
Cut Players claim system:
We will no longer be operating under a strict first come, first serve system for cut players. A player will be on waivers for 24 hours after being cut. During the waiver period, teams may "claim" a player. By claiming a player, you will be taking on the current contract the player was owed before being cut. If claimed through waivers, the team who cut the player will be relieved of all salary owed to the player and the amount will transfer to the team who claimed the player. If more than one team places a claim on a player, the team with the worst winning % when the 24 hour waiver period ends will be given the player. Once the player has cleared waivers (been cut for 24 hours with no claims), they will become a FA. They are now first come, first serve on a 1 year minimum contract. The team who cut the player will be responsible for all of the previous contract. A team does not need soft cap space to take on a player's contract in a waiver claim. The team just needs to be able to handle the contract under the hard cap.
Note: Any player cut and claimed after the trade deadline will be ineligible for the postseason on their new team.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I have been kicking around a lot of ideas this offseason so if I forgot to put anything in here and I remember, its possible I add another one later.
