Hi,
So it is apparent that contracts have almost no value, just look at the Outlaws roster, almost everyone on the team is on a minimum contract. This hurts the league severely because it allows super teams to form so easily, such as the Outlaws. This sucks for parity in the league and is bad for recruiting new members. People will not want to stay on the site if they have zero chance of winning ever.
So my very rough sketch of an idea right now is to allow teams to give out contracts in free agency with TPE added to them. It would have to be a 3+ year contract for a player to earn TPE from it, to help push team stability. My idea is that basically the worse team you are, the more TPE you are awarded to give out in contracts. While this may seem unfair, it will help push more parity for the league. Something along the lines of the 8th place team in the league gets 80 points of TPE to give out in contracts during the season, 7th place team has 70 TPE to give out toal, all the way to the champion only having 10 TPE to give out total. I also think that the top 5 members of the team based on TPE should not be able to receive TPE in contracts, to help allow the smaller members of the team the ability to accrue TPE. Also maybe a cap of like 20 TPE per player at most to give out, and you would not receive the TPE until you start the final season of your contract.
I believe adding something along these lines would help push for stronger parity in the league, and would give more intrinsic value to contracts in this league, as unlike in real life, strictly salary based contracts are pretty worthless when there are so many easy ways to earn money already.
Let me know what you think, it should obviously be tweaked a little, but this is a general idea.
