A $0.5m contract has a limit of 2 years after the current year.  Inelegible for a $0.5m contract extension.

If that is case I accept that but thought rules read extension kicks in after old contract is up

Note that the term limits apply to the future years of a contract extension.  For example, a 2011 contract could get a three year extension starting in 2012 and ending in 2014.   We still have minimum and maximum years protecting this new contract status, so the total number of future years may not be more than five (for a salary > $10m).  For extensions, term limits apply for years after the current year, so for that 2011 contract example, a $1.5m salary could be given across three years: 2012-2014.  Another example, say it is 2011, and a player has a $1m (2012) contract.  You want to give them an extension at $1.5m/year (term limit of 3 years).  The term limit says that the contract extension can only run through 2014, so the player is paid $1m in 2011, $1m in 2012, $1.5m in 2013, and $1.5m in 2014.  The three-year limit applies to future years!

Smith fact he is p (2015) doesnt change ability to sign him to .05 to longer being would be eliminating his spec contract. If not his contract stays same. Wasnt sure noticed some contracts like rutledge for yankees has .5 til around 2017 I believe wasnt sure if was because added couple years past spec

[Paul S.]

The Rutledge contract is wrong and will be corrected.
