I think we should change the rule of RFA compensation to just include compensatory picks. Teams losing one draft pick and signing several free agents (within the same salary range)is abuse of the rule in my opinion. Most leagues have in place a rule allowing for the winning team to get the player with no loss of a pick and the losing team getting a compensatory draft pick based on the AAS. Here is a combination of what we currently have with that change that I think we should consider:
Starting in 2019, teams who decide not to match their restricted free agent(s) bids will receive supplemental draft pick compensation based on the AAS of the winning RFA bid. No team will lose a draft pick for signing a RFA and a team only gains a compensation pick if they do not match the RFA bid. If the team matches the bid and then trades their matched RFA player, they will not get any compensation pick. Compensation is as follows:
If AAS = $0.4M to $3M, then a minimum one-year deal is required.
If AAS = $3M+ to $6M, then a minimum two-year deal is required. (Total contract will range from $6,000,002 to $12M) - after 5th round comp
If AAS = $6M + to $9M, then a minimum three-year deal is required. (Total contract will range from $18,000,003 to $27M) - after 4th round comp pick
If AAS = $9M+ to $12M, then a minimum four-year deal is required. (Total contract will range from $36,000,004 to $48M) - after 3rd round comp pick
If AAS = $12M+ to $15M, then a minimum five-year deal is required. (Total contract will range from $60,000,005 to $75M) - after 2nd round comp pick
If AAS = $15M+, then a minimum six-year deal is required. (Total contract will be at least $90,000,006) - after 1st round comp pick
I think this rule should be considered by the TRP and applied without a poll. It is not something that favors any one team and the response to our polls is not great. So either it gets approved with less than 50% of the total teams in the league or does not pass because not enough voted on it.
I think we currently apply the compensatory draft pick for the following year. We might consider changing this to the current year draft. I know for this year it would add the 2018 and 2019 RFA picks together for this year but it could be less recordkeeping or work.
