So here we go! After a few days of lengthy discussions (which I thought were great btw!) here are the final changes for the upcoming free agency.....
1. RFAs can now be traded, the team getting the player is NOT forced to use their one optional early re-sign
2. The one (optional) RFA early re-sign will now be a 25% salary increase after payscale applied as usual (was 35%)
3. We're eliminating the 90% match rule on RFAs, if you match the bid then that's what you pay
4. New RFA Payscale/Prospect activation chart (below)
