Free
Agency Market - Day One
Every
off-season, players entering their 6th or 11th year
are eligible for Free Agency. This is something
every player is really playing for. Players know
that the championship trophy is impressive, but will
it buy a nice house and take care of your family as
you grow old?
Super
Star players land Franchise Player contracts when
they are still developing. All the rest of the
players in the league have to hope they get some
attention in Free Agency if they want to land that
fat no-cut contract.
The
Market takes place over two days, with day one
reserved for GMs placing Offer Sheets. GMs that
participated in the previous Super Bowl can only use
two Offer Sheets during the off-season. All other
teams are allowed to use up to three Offer Sheets.
Super
Bowl teams can lose up to three players to Free
Agency. All other teams can only lose up to two
players. GMs
are not allowed to place on Offer Sheet on their own
player.
UPDATED
2048: Players eligible for Free Agency will demand OFFER SHEETS have a minimum
offer based on their current salary status.
example: DL Joe Doe 4.000 (former first round selection)
DL Doe will have a 4.000 OFFER SHEET minimum during FA
example: QB Billy Joe Doe 0.500 (former rookie waivers selection)
DL Doe will have a 0.500 OFFER SHEET minimum during FA
All players signed during the
Market receive no-cut contracts. There is no limit
to how many Free Agents can be on one roster. GMs
can trade players they have signed in past Free
Agency Markets.
