How about a way to give 3-5 players per team, a 1 year contract extension, and have it cost double (or more) the max cost of a 1 year tiered free agent contract. The reason is to reward teams that found a great free agent talent, and keep him for another year at a reasonable salary, before exposing him to free agency? This type of deal is used in pretty much every professional sports league. If it’s not over complicating this change, we could establish a limit so that a player cannot be given an extension in consecutive seasons? This is just a basic idea for a framework of establishing extensions - I’m sure many of you have ideas of making this idea even better. Feel free to add your ideas to this suggestion.
