Further to this. Please read.
As in previous seasons, as I get every PM through email as well, ALL offers will be seen. However, not all offers will be responded to. This doesn’t have to do with said player not appreciating the AAV or term, but he may have another team, postion/line on team, or Conference he wants to play on. For example, if a player has 15 teams inquiring his services, he may end up responding to 5-10 and then go from there.
As in the previous years, in order to keep the signings realistic compared to real life free agency, the big names will be signed by July 1st or 2nd. Neither myself or Nail want to leave guys hanging weeks or, in some cases, 2 months, before a player makes a decision. The only time a player may take a few weeks is if they haven’t received any offers, or if he has received one offer, but feels he’s still worth $5M. Bottom 6 players likely won’t wait 3 weeks after if clubs have tabled their offers, as guys do want to go be comfortable knowing they’ll play.
