I thought of that, it isn't realistic that some players would resign for long term cheap deals. But I also feel like if owners can find those good cheap players the should have them.
I'd listen to a good fair idea...

I'd listen to a good fair idea... Maybe an extension has to be for a minimum amount. Meaning you can't extend a player unless they make at least $25 or something. Or it all goes to a average by position for a minimum, like top 30 salaries by position is the floor for a contract extension. On either of these the player would still be a decent contract. Maybe couple something like that along with a no tax free cut on a contract extension for maybe 3 or 4 years?

Or a sliding scale of guaranteed money for extensions. $3 to $50 100% guarunteed 51-75 75%, 76-100 50%
and no tax free cuts for extended guys, because why would they sign a big deal that the team could completely walk away from next year.
You want to save money for a big in season signing for 2 years? great that you can get out from under.

Maybe we rethink the tax free cuts and teams aren't just given 2 of them, drop the number to 1 perhaps.

You want to save money for a big in season signing for 2 years? great that you can get out from under. Seems to me this is exactly what the NFL Owners do with players. Have them Sign big deals and they know said player will never see that money. Why? Because the money is not guaranteed. If I sign a player to an extended contract I should be allowed to cut that player if that player is not living up to the contract. I like the tax free weekend. I think it save us from ourselves. What would any of us who have taken over broken teams have done without the tax free option? Just seems unreasonable to hold on to a contract of a player who is not performing at that contract level.

Problem is not the tax free cut the problem to me is extending someone and cutting them the next offseason at no charge. In the NFL there is usually a period of 2 or 3 years after a player signs a huge contract when a team won't cut him do to the fact that his salary cap number is usually guaranteed during this period. I'll even call myself out last year I won Nicks at $222 and this year I dropped him at zero cost to me. I just think its something we should look at as a league so we have a little challenge in managing the cap.

What if you just set a cap floor at a specific number or maybe a % of the cap. Maybe 60% If the off-season signings are done and a team is under the cap floor, then they either have to add free agents, or can resign current players on their team to higher $ values. For example, I'm under the cap floor by $50. I hate all the free agents, so I resign James Jones and bump his salary up to $58 a year to get to the floor. The contract length is not changed. Or maybe I bump up 2 players by $25.
If we just put a cap floor in w/o the ability to bump up current player salaries, I'd just sign a kicker to a one year big money deal to get up to the floor.
