Can someone please explain the rules about the contract lenght for me, just to make me 100 % sure that I have made some mistakes....

I cant bid 7.5 m and then make it a 4yr/1.9m contract  or 3yr/2.5m  ?  It has to be 2yr/3.8m or 1yr/7.5m ?

All contracts must be no longer than 4 years.  Also, for a given salary, all contacts (extension, FA) have term limits (max years contract can be per the salary) as provided below.

Maximum Years
</= $2.9m, 2 years
$3.0m - $6.4m, 3 years
>$6.5m, 4 years
Contracts can be less in length then the given values but can't exceed the given years. Ex. a 9 million free agent bid can be a 3 year - $3m, 2 year - $4.5m, or a 1 year - $9m but can not be a 4 year - $2.3m
Note: Maximum dollars for a single season is $10m
