This plan will not be very popular!
Time for another plan before the combine and possibly the new CBA. I am doing this plan with the possibility of no new CBA being ready by the time free agency starts. If this occurs then the 30% rule comes into effect. Here is the 30% rule explained ...
The ‘30 percent’ rule
Article 13, Section 7 of the CBA mandates that “no player contract extending into a season beyond the Final League Year may provide for an annual increase in salary ... of more than 30 percent of the salary provided for in the Final League Year, per year, either in the season after the Final League Year or in any subsequent season covered by the Player Contract.
