Free Agent Bidding:
The process for signing an Unrestricted Free Agent is to create a new thread in the "Unrestricted Free Agents" sub-board under "Free Agency". The thread should have the player's correctly spelled name, NFL team and position in the subject, and a valid bid as the message. Other GMs may reply in this thread with higher bids for the player. The bidding will end when 24 hours has passed since the last valid bid.
Free Agency Sniping Rule
If you want to bid on a player AFTER the 20 hour mark then the bidding team needs to two these two things:
1. Identify it as a Snipe Bid
2. Bid at least 2 points more then the previous leading bid
UFA Bidding System:
Contract years add value based on the following: $1M = 1 point
$ x 1.0 for 1 year
$ x 1.2 for 2 years
$ x 1.4 for 3 years
$ x 1.6 for 4 years
John Doe (DAL-QB)
4 Years @ $1,200,000 = 1.92 Points
*NO EXTRA BIDDING POINTS ARE ADDED FOR RFA STATUS*
Players may be signed for a maximum of 4 years and your math must be correct for the bid to be valid. The minimum raise for a valid bid will be $100,000 or .1 points. You may not delete the bid, once you post your bid it is final.
*ALL BIDS MUST BE AT THE HUNDREDTH PLACE POINT. EX: .52M OR 1.52M. ONLY TWO NUMBERS AFTER THE DECIMAL.*
A GM can include RFA status in their UFA bid. The player must only have three years of experience or less to get RFA status. The RFA bid cannot exceed the players third year. EX: Jalen Ramsey just finished his second year in the league so to sign him to an RFA contract it can only be a 1year deal with RFA status. (1 year @ 2M + RFA) If a GM is signing an undrafted rookie to a RFA contract they can do a full three year deal plus RFA status.
You must have salary cap space available for a bid to be valid (remember, any Free Agency bids in which you are the leading bidder also count towards your salary cap).
During the season, you must also have roster space available for the bid to be valid (remember, roster limits are lifted during the pre-season). This means you must have less than 53 active players. Players on waivers do not count towards your roster limit. You may conditionally waive a player to make roster space (but not salary cap) for a player as detailed in the "Conditional Waivers" section below.
If a team makes a free agent bid which would put them over the roster or cap limit, that bid is invalid. The last valid bid becomes the leading bid.
