I would like to propose an option to be able to front-load a player's contract after they have been won in free agency. GMs should have the option to front-load up to 50% (or potentially more) of the contract to give greater cap space down the line. This will allow more flexibility when signing veteran players and make them easier to move on down the line.
Original:
2023: $5M
2024: $5M
2025: $5M
New:
2023: $7.5M
2024: $5M
2025: $2.5M
This should be a post-award designation and will not change bidding, which would be a nightmare. Backloaded contracts also seem like a bad idea and could screw future GMs who could inherit really bad contracts.
