*Basic Rules:
The only players eligible for free agency include everyone who just finished a contract and was not signed to an extension and everyone listed in the official Free Agent List. The minimum increase when bidding against another team for a free agent is $100,000.
*Salary Rules/Cap issues & Roster Limitations:
You may not sign a free agent if the signing takes your team over the cap. The only exception to this is if you are offering a minimum contract ($500,000). If your team already has 15 players on it's roster, you must first release a player before you offer another. You must wait for your player to be recognized by a player agent as being released before starting a thread to bid on a free agent.
*Posting An Offer:
Firstly, to bid on a free agent, create a thread with his name as the subject, and in the body post your bid in years and total dollars. Contracts that GM's create in free agency are limited to being between 1 and 5 years in length. The minimum contract you are allowed to offer a free agent is 1 Year/$500,000. New - You may only offer 1 team option when offering a player. This is to reduce ridiculous offers of only 1 guaranteed year and 4 team option years.
*After Posting An Offer:
An offer must be accepted by the player agent for it to be official. An offer is considered the highest bid if it contains the highest TOTAL dollar amount over the entirety of the contract.
