Free Agency: 2nd Period

[CrazyEights]

Deadline is 8:00pmEST Tuesday 7/4

This period will be 5 sim days. I will sim a day later tonight if enough teams send in offers.

[Dry1313]

SO if I made a 7.5 mil offer last round, that offer stands. And that means I can shell out another 7.5 mil offer?

[CrazyEights]

That's correct

[Dry1313]

Oho, well I decided it wasn't enough anyway. I PM'd you all my old offers to make sure along with the new ones.

[Providence A's]

so each period we can offer $21 million total even if the other offers are still out there?

For example I offered a total of $21 in the 1st period. $2.25 million signed. What can I submit next round in addition to the $19.75 million outstanding? Can I only submit another $2.25 to get back to $21? Or can I submit another $21 (assuming I had it)?

[CrazyEights]

can I submit another $21 (assuming I had it)?

Yes

[Providence A's]

OK, then I am going to PM you my old offers again and some adjusted ones, k? Thanks

[Hammer]

Yes

i can spend another 21 million on top of whatever ive spent in free agency already? im incredulous, so i need to make sure.

[Dry1313]

Actually Hammer, you only have $11 million left. Just because you can offer up to 21 mil per period doesn't mean you'll have enough to.

[CrazyEights]

Dry is correct. $21 Mil is the limit as long as you have enough cash to spend. You can't offer more than the amount of cash that you have available to spend.

[Hammer]

so 21 mil is just like a ceiling? if a team has 50 mil to spend, they can only offer up 21 mil, yes?

[CrazyEights]

so 21 mil is just like a ceiling? if a team has 50 mil to spend, they can only offer up 21 mil, yes?

Yeah...we have had that rule for a few seasons to keep teams with a ton of money offerin big contracts to all of the top free agents all at once. It is actually a $21Mil limit, and you can only submit one offer for more than $8Mil per period.

[RockSports17]

I sent in my offers. I wouldn't mind you simming one day tonight.

[Hammer]

makes sense, i can dig it

[Providence A's]

Yea, I have about $37 million for FA...I don't plan on spending that much, but I could if I wanted. I just wasn't sure if it was $21 total all the way through, but Crazy answered my question. Thanks again.
