Hello ISFL!
Coming to you today to announce a new clause that may be added to a player's contract, Salary Adjustment (SA), which can be attached in the same manner as MO, PO, TO, NTC etc.
If a given season of a contract is tagged with SA, the salary amount will be adjusted based on the TPE bracket that the user sits in. These adjustments will happen during the offseason and be performed by the budget team, after regression has been completed and approved.
Additionally, future years will also be adjusted to this new salary amount if they are 'chained' with the current season. For example, if a user has an SA on S33, S34 and S35, all three years will have their salary adjusted upon completion of S33 regression. However, if they have an SA on just S33 and S35, only the S33 amount will be adjusted.
For a more visual example, a player might have a contract like this:
S32: $5M
S33: $5M SA
S34: $5M SA
S35: $5M SA
S36: $5M SA
If that user regresses to between 800-999 TPE during the S33 offseason, their S33-S36 salaries will be reduced to $4M. The SA is never removed from the contract and will be triggered again for S34-S36 in the following offseason.
This is being proposed to eliminate the need for a team to opt out a player and re-sign them immediately to optimize cap, thereby saving GMs, players and the budget team time, but this can also be used early in a player's career when they are improving. For example, a rookie might sign a contract like this:
S32: $1M
S33: $1M SA
S34: $1M SA
If they then move into the 200-399 TPE bracket, their S33 and S34 salary will be increased to $2M. This could be used as a way to incentivize users to earn TPE and get rewarded for it, without needing to specify it in a bonus.
The SA clause can also be modified with additional salary on top. For example:
S32: $1M
S33: $1M SA+1M
S34: $1M SA+1M
This would indicate that a user's salary should be $1M more than whatever the SA would ordinarily adjust their contract to. So if a user was in the 200-399 bracket at the time the budget team makes the S33 adjustments, their S33 and S34 salaries would be changed to $3M.
Some other implications to adding this:
1) A team will not be punished for being over the current season's salary cap until SAs for that season have been processed.
2) For a contract to be initially processed, the base salaries must still meet or exceed the player's TPE minimum at the time of signing, as they do currently, regardless of if an SA is attached to that season.
