We're hoping the fun part of this is that you have to make a decision with an ascending player about locking him down or letting him go in hopes that you can re-sign him cheaper after he tests the market. I suspect we may have to tweak the signing dollars everyone gets each year until we get the right balance, so we're hoping nothing goes wonky the first year or two with hyperinflation or deflation or something.

I think this is very smart because it makes you think and hesitate on some players that are a bit older and or who have a breakout year the year you have to decide... (contract year). LOL - pretty realistic in my opinion... the 5 year contracts acts like a franchise tag for the 2 retained players...
