I would like to take the topic further. We also currently in place a way to restructure absurd contracts. I think we should also have in place a way to resign a player at a lower value. The stipulations would be... - Players value, from the previous two scoring periods, would have to be lower than his current salary - Player is in the final year of his contract, cannot be still under contract for multiple years - that is what the restructure is for.
Corey, I knew I left something out. under our current rules you cannot sign someone for less than 50% of their former contract, and I agree wholeheartedly with that statement.
My vote is no on the first part. If you are going to resign a player in the season the salary should kick in immediately.
Having extensions kick in the year after the contract expires involves tooling the spreadsheet for variable salaries. One key rule in this league, to keep administration simple, is contracts with flat annual salaries. However, it can be argued that we screwed this up with cash exchanges... and showing current year + the next four year's salaries, in a Cot's Contract manner, would give a lot more info (and easy to do in a spreadsheet).
But that's not how the books work in real life... extensions are for future years, not always the current year.
