One other suggestion I would like to propose is the idea of a signing bonus that would count towards the value. So say a team is sitting on cash or has a ton of cap room for the first year of a FA contract, they can add a signing bonus that would count towards the total value of the contract. It would be paid instantly after the player signing and would be taken from the team's cash.
Player gets a bonus, gets cash out of the game easily. Win win. Perhaps to make it fair make it so the bonus has a maximum just so a team couldn't "buy" a player by offering a huge bonus with minimal salary. Something like 10% of the total value can be in the form of a signing bonus but the rest must be standard salary.
Just a thought.
I'm ok with the signing bonus, but it'd be more on Andy, JHC, and Hokey. Doing this would could more editing of the file.
