[quote8658e1d="Joe"]I have thought that maybe we should consider adopting a rule similar to the one the enfl has:
[quote8658e1d]4. Contracts.
(i) When making any contract offer, you may not double or exceed double a player's salary from one year to the next, except from the first year of the contract to the second. You must release the player if you violate this rule. Note: bonus money is not included as part of the salary
(ii)Free Agent Bonus Requirement. Every free agent contract offer with a total value exceeding 10% of the current salary cap must include at least 20% in bonus money. Additionally, any two-year free agent contract offer that more than doubles the salary from the first to the second year must include at least 20% in bonus money [/quote8658e1d]
Under these rules the contract in question would still be legal, but they are good guidelines regardless.[/quote8658e1d]
My only problem with the eNFL rule is- since there is a rule in place people will do as much as they can without breaking the rule. We rarely have problems in our league, its a great group of owners who dont try to exploit the game. I like the catch all rule of sportsmanship. However, if the league wanted to impliment a rule I wouldnt be against it. I would be against the bonus rule, that is just too much work to do.
