Re-Signings

Upon completion of a player contract the player becomes a free agent.  The team for which the player last played for has the first option to sign him to a new contract.  The player’s agent will come to the team with an opening offer and the team / agent will negotiate from there.  Upon conclusion of negotiations the player agent will present to player with the agreed upon contract terms and it will be up to the player to accept / reject the offer.  Players not signed by June 30 and not franchised become free agents.

Contract terms are established in the following manner.

·        Previous EFL Salary + 3 (“Koch Scouting Services” Value)   = Baseline Value (BV)

                                         4

·        The team and player agent then begin negotiations starting from the BV, establishing a Preliminary Salary (PS) per season figure based on a percentage of the BV.  The minimum PS figure a player agent will listen to is 50% of BV and the maximum PS figure a team will offer is 150% of BV (increments of 5%).

·        The PS is then modified for age (as noted in the Action PC FB game) and length of contract using the following chart to get salary per season.

                                                               Length of Contract / Age Chart

With the salary per season and contract length established in the negotiations between the team and the player agent the contract is presented to the player for his approval.  Acceptance / Rejection of the negotiated contract will be determined using the following chart:

Example – A thirty-one year old player with an expired contract worth 2.5 million

and a “Koch Scouting Services” Value of 3.2 million looking for a two year contract at 120% of BV would break down as follows:

2.5 million + 3(3.2 million) = 3,025,000 (BV)

                      4

3,025,000 X 120% = 3,630,000 (PS)

3,630,000 X 115% (Length of Contract / Age Chart – 31 year old at 2 years) = 4,174,500 salary per season

Contract Offer = 4,174,500 per season for two years

The contract is then presented to the player who decides whether to accept it or not using the Contract Acceptance Table.  In this case the following line of the table would be used: 

                           % BV         Accept        Reject       Insulted

                            120            1-70           71-94        95-100

Thus, on a percentile roll of 1-70 the contract is accepted, on a percentile roll of 71-94 the contract is rejected and on a percentile roll of 95-100 the player is insulted and will have nothing more to do with the team (unless franchised).
