Hey, just wondering about extensions....as I read the rules, you use the highest point total from the past two years (and consider all potential positions). Has there been any thought or discussion given to using an average of the past couple of years? I just wonder as it would give a more accurate in the case of injury, etc. Not trying to be the guy who comes late to the party and wants to turn over the tables, just curious...
We haven't had much discussion on that because in all honesty it has never been an issue through the entirety of the league. Usually a good player doesn't have 2 bad back to back seasons and if they do, we may not consider them good anymore. As for injuries, it levels out the rise to re-sign them if you are getting them cheap due to injury, it may just happen again. Anyone else have comments on this?
Contract LimitsExcept for any contract inherited in 2011, all contracts must be no longer than five years. Also, for a given salary, all contracts have term limits (max years contract can be per the yearly salary) as provided below.Salary - Max Years$5m+ - 5 years (the overall limit)$3.5 to $4.9m - 4 years$2 to $3.4m - 3 years$0 to $1.9m - 2 yearsContract Limits for ExtensionsContract extensions follow the contract maximum lengths as shown above as well as their own minimum standards.Salary - Min & Max Years$6.5m+ - 5 years (the overall limit)$5 to $6.4m - 4 or 5 years$3.5 to $4.9m - 3 or 4 years$2 to $3.4m - 2 or 3 years$0 to $1.9m - 1 or 2 years
However, on this topic, I would like to again suggest a minimum extension length that depends on the value of the contract. There's currently very little incentive to signing players longterm. High value contracts should carry a certain minimum length. Look at Seguin, for example, I re-signed him for 2 years at $7.5m. That should have been a minimum 5 year contract length IMO.

Here's how I handle it in my league:
Could be something for discussion, we had it this way in the beginning and changed it to how it is now. Maybe somehow this could be worked into RFA style rule? If you sign a player under the max then they are place on an "RFA" where their next contract would have to be the max years? Just food for thought.
