We have recently had a rule implemented that allows teams to bid on their own players in RFA. This I think addresses a much needed solution in terms of players that the team would want to keep but other teams might not be as interested in.
While this solves one issue, it has now created another.
Logically being able to give a player a minimal contract coming into RFA does not make too much sense. I think there is a need to have minimal bid amounts for bidding on your own player.
Currently we use 0.5xFPPG to come up with the 1 year tender offer if a player receives no bids. This number represents a decent discounted offer than just resining a player usually would.
In reality a player with a player or team option would not just take a minimal contract on a 5 year term that earns them less in 5 years total than it would in a single year of the option.
TLDR: Teams are allowed to send in bids on their own players, but the minimum bid needs to be 0.5 points higher.
ex. Player QO option comes in at 5M (10 FPPG), teams bid would need to be 5.5 Points minimal.
