Sorry Guys

[GoIrish]

I didn't mention your step offer system, which I'm fine with. I mentioned an entirely second system that is used for certain players. So even if I make a legal offer according to one of the step systems, it could be illegal according to the other

I don't feel like busting out an abacus to determine a legal bid in free agency

And I also never mentioned my league to anyone here. The reason I returned is because Stang aimed me and asked me to come back. My apologies for returning

Not sure what you are referring to but what Matty did was for the people that did not have the proper bids in place, he removed the bids. Again, that process of years to dollars was to prevent people abusing the FA bidding process with multiple years on small dollar guys. It got to be really annoying when a certain former GM would bid over your 2 year @ 3M per bid with 7 years @ 1M and with us going total contract value his 7 was > than the 6.


The only other system we have in place is the comp system and that has been like that since the start of the league. For the comp system, the teams need to accept a fallback offer, again, you were here when we had that process in place. Then the bids need to be greater than the fallback offer per year, or within ...

1 Year - 100% of Fallback Salary
2 Years - 90% of Fallback Salary
3 Years - 80% of Fallback Salary
4 Years or more 70% of Fallback Salary

This is to avoid the situation of a person having 10M in guaranteed money over 1 year in the fallback vs someone offering 5 years @ 2.1M per season. The 5 year deal is greater in value but is someone going to turn down 10M over 1 season for that 5 year deal? I don't think either process is over-complicated or will make you have to think to hard.

I am sorry if my tone was harsh but to me you coming back, then starting your own league gives the apperance you came back to get in front of people again for your recruiting and once your league is full and off the ground you leave. I apologize if I am mis-reading what happened but that is what it appears like to me.

I wish you the best of luck in your league and I hope you don't dissappear on that league like your last.
