I would like to see a change in the rule of how Free Agents are signed. I would like to see a change so that the team who bids the highest dollar amount gets the player and gets to spread it over however many years they would like (up to a maximum number of years). I don't like the rule that forces us to add a year onto a contract as that forces everyone's hand to one generic strategy.
We could set minimums and maximums for dollar amounts per year and number of years.

I agree generally. I don't understand why if a guy is 5 years for 20M why 6 years for 24M is a better contract. No major leaguer would take 6 over 5 for the same money per year, but that's considered an upgrade in our league.
To me, the next logical step would be to go 5 years for $25M, 6 years for $30M, or 4 years for $20M. So you're either increasing money per year, years and money per year, or less years for more money per year. Increasing years for the same amount of money doesn't make sense.
Being able to decrease years, but still pay the same amount of money would help limit these ridiculous 10 year contracts.

Would like to see a 1 week time frame in between bids instead of 2 weeks also.
