There's no official rules (yet) but if you want to get a feel for if your bids will be rejected or not here's my rule of thumb:
For every year you add to the deal the player would accept 10% less of his annual minimum bid.
For example, Player A will accept a 1yr/10M fallback offer so your minimum bids would be as follows:
1yr - 10M
2yr - 9M (18M total)
3yr - 8M (24M total)
4yrs+ - 7M (28-49M)
And you would obviously have to outbid anybody else. Otherwise it's preferable for the player to accept the fallback offer.
