RFA minimum year requirements
The bidding process itself is the same as normal free agency. (Consult section 4.3 for the rules of the free agency bidding process.) However, the minimum year requirements are stricter than those in section 4.2.2.
The average annual salary (AAS) that a franchise bids in RFA will require a certain minimum number of years for the bid to be valid. The minimum contract term is based solely on the RFA offer's AAS and is determined 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)
If AAS = $6M+ to $9M, then a minimum three-year deal is required. (Total contract will range from $18,000,003 to $27M)
If AAS = $9M+ to $12M, then a minimum four-year deal is required. (Total contract will range from $36,000,004 to $48M)
If AAS = $12M+ to $15M, then a minimum five-year deal is required. (Total contract will range from $60,000,005 to $75M)
If AAS = $15M+, then a minimum six-year deal is required. (Total contract will be at least $90,000,006)
4.3.3 Rulings:
As in real life, sometimes players receive numerous contract offers. The player will ultimately choose the franchise that has offered them the most lucrative contract. The primary criterion in determining the winner of a free agent is the average annual salary (AAS) of the contract; the franchise that bid the highest AAS wins the player.
In the rare event two bids have the same average annual salary, below are the tie-breakers that will be utilized in determining which franchise will win the right to sign a player. Only proceed to the second tie-breaker in cases where the first tie-breaker ends in a tie.
Tie-breaker #1: If the AAS for two or more contract offers is the same, then the franchise that offered the contract with the most number of years is awarded the player.
Tie-breaker #2: In the rare case when two or more contract offers have the same AAS and the same number of years, then the franchise that made the contract offer first is awarded the player.
Compensation for Losing Restricted Free Agent: Based on the AAS contract the player receives in RFA.
