Have agents that represent players and coaches.

Have companies or agencies have you that these agents work for.

Agents would have different attributes like prestige, negotiation skills, greed etc....
Attributes would not only affect FA signings and extensions but would be self adjusting as their clients land good, bad or no contracts.
The popular agents working for the most prestiges company are most likely to land the best players.
How much the agent and player like you, your coach, his system and his situation on your team would weigh in along with the contract offer for them signing or resigning with your franchise.

There's several different ways to set this up of course. And i imagine its not as easy as setting up a button for us to click from jdb's end. But this could add some spice to the contract process.

Long term I really do want to make the free agent bidding process more interesting and less cookie-cutter. This is a great idea to add some more wrinkles to the process. I'd love to hear additional ideas to come into play in a player's decision whether or not to accept a contract offer/extension beyond the simple logic that currently exists.

i think depth chart should be a huge part of a free agent's decision. If there are great players already at his position it should tougher to sign a big name. There could be promises (like starting roles, etc) that you could do to entice a player and if those aren't lived up to the player could become unhappy and not want to resign later on. I also think holdouts would add to realism. I think NCAA football had a promise equation while scouting if i recall. I think anything added will take away from the staleness of having the players just go for the top bonus money :)

well also a person's trade history i think should play a part like if they more likely to trade them to someone else maybe they shouldnt go to that person rather someone who they may play them for some seasons .

just my 2 cents .
