I like Colby's idea of the some percent down and some percent up, but I like it even better tiered like kdoc proposes, because it's not the same to take 25 percent down when jumping from 1 to 2 years, than when jumping from 4 to 5 years. For example a 4 year offer of 20 mil means 80 mil guaranteed money, while the 5 year 15 mil bid that would be needed to surpass it is 75mil guaranteed for more years which wouldn't make any sense. I would propose:
25 percent from 1 to 2
20 percent from 2 to 3
15 percent from 3 to 4
10 percent from 4 to 5
and also the tiers should apply to raising salaries for less years and I would propose
10 percent from 5 to 4
20 percent from 4 to 3
30 percent from 3 to 2
40 percent from 2 to 1
An example would be:
X offers Player 2 year contract for 10 mil each (20mil guaranteed)
Y offers 1 year contract for 14mil (14mil guaranteed)
X offers 2 year contract for 10.5 mil each (21mil guaranteed)
Z offers 3 year contract for 8.5 mil each (25.5m)
W offers 1 year contract for 16.5 mil (16.5m)
and so on. This will allow for plenty of bidding and guarantees that no player will receive less guaranteed money for more years.
