Some important notes about RFA and UFA negotiations. For newbies, all UFA/RFA offers are sent through PMs to the Player Rep's inbox.
Information:
AKA What to include
- Player Name and overall
- Status (UFA, Extension, RFA, etc)
- Age
- Current Contract (mainly pay) if there is one
- New contract offer
- Link to last seasons stats page (if there is one - check archive)
- Terms of the deal (NTC, NMC, etc)
- Also, very rarely, write-ups make a difference, If you feel you have a valid reason for offering a person a certain pay (reduced or what have you) and you want to explain it, I will listen.
Format
AKA Requirements of the PM
- Player's name in the subject line
- quote previous PMs (instead of clicking on "reply", click "quote")
- if you are submitting offers for more than one player, offer each in separate PMs. Failure to do so can result in lost/ignored offers!
Notes
AKA Additional Info you should know
- Remember to retract any offers you no longer wish to offer. Any offers for unsigned guys stays in my inbox, and the guy may otherwise sign at any time.
- Be patient. I generally receive many offers per player and may not reply to you.
- Every player signed comes with a first-season NTC, plus if the guy is claimed through waivers (entry OR re-entry), the team he originally signed with covers half his contract. This avoids teams signing players JUST to trade them, as often happens in sim leagues.
- unless otherwise noted in offers you send, I will always consider money amounts to be a per-year salary. So if I see 5M/3 years, it means 5 mil a year for 3 years.
