And Player Options weren't part of a buyout. Neither then nor now. Hence why they're given instead of extra guaranteed years in FA. The extra rule you added in said you can't renegotiate a deal without losing the Player Options. Buying out is not the same as renegotiating
If you want to make Player Options count as buying out, that's fine, but deals made under the old rules should be governed by said rules. That or you can stop counting options toward the contract's value
If the stated goal is realism, then remember that Player Options aren't guaranteed
Team Options have to be bought out now too? What about having to shell out the $22M NTC cost to buyout someone with a NTC?
Sorry for being difficult here, just annoyed when there has never been an occurrence of a buyout including the POs in the previous 6 seasons of FCM. Wondering why Cincy &/or I are being singled out
