Each off season managers will have the opportunity to select up to two players with expiring contracts from their roster as restricted free agents (RFA's). *It is NOT necessary for a manager to have any RFA's.
The selection of these players will be posted on a "Restricted Free Agency" thread.
After managers select their RFA's, they will still have the opportunity to re-sign these players, up to 3 attempts, prior to them going to the restricted free agency pool. If they successfully re-sign the player, managers can NOT designate another expiring contract as an RFA. Managers can also elect not to attempt a re-sign and the player will go directly to the bidding process.
If the re-signing of an RFA (needs to be a designated restricted FA) is declined by mods, the RFA will then join the RFA pool.
The RFA pool will be completed prior to regular free agency opening.
RFA pool rules:
Three restricted free agents will be posted at a time.
Each manager will have the opportunity to silently bid on the restricted free agents in a 24 window not exceeding their cap space. Bids should be submitted to daegudynasty@gmail.com. After 24 hours, the bidding will be public and the incumbent manager will have the opportunity to match the top bidder to earn their player back. If RFA is matched by original owner at a contract length of 3 years or higher, this will count as a re-sign as per regular re-sign rules. If it’s under three years this does not match the requirements for a re-sign and will not count against the original GMs re-signs. RFA's need to be matched exactly in money and years.
If RFA is not bid on by any managers, original owner can have one chance to re-sign the player if they did not attempt a re-sign prior to bidding. If re-signing fails, player goes to regular FA. If original owner attempted to re-sign prior to RFA, they can NOT attempt to re-sign again in the event that no other manager bids on them.
In a nutshell: I'll use Mikal Bridges as an example as he's expiring for me this year
1. I designate Bridges as an RFA
2. I fail to re-sign Bridges on 3 attempts
3. Bridges goes to RFA pool
4. Whitacre has highest bid for Bridges at $20M and 4 years.
5. Whitacre wins Bridges or I match at EXACTLY $20M and 4 years.
When bids are submitted, the subject line should not reference the player being bid on, just simply state "RFA Bid". The bid itself should state the GM or team name, the player name, and the offer as it would appear in free agency: salary x years = points. The highest points wins. If there is an error in a bid it will be invalid.
*RFA's will be announced by managers within 48 hours after the deadline of trading expiring contracts on September 10th.
*Regular free agent re-signing process can happen simultaneously with RFA re-signing process but RFA bidding will be completed prior to regular free agency.
