From someone on another post on the forum stating not to offer him "silly trades" (oakbark) ,with NY in this league, he signs a 15 year vet with a SEVENTY % chance of retiring, a 5 year $22.3 million contract!!!
RIDICULOUS.
All teams have too much Cap space right now.
+1
Most of his contract offers for 40% or 50% retire probability players are 4-5 years for 20-30mil. NYK will be unusable for several seasons.
As for too much cap space...i am starting to feel a little bit of the squeeze. I still have 43m in cap space, so i am not in dire straits...but you can no longer resign rookies or even vets to incredibly low contracts. I have had to fork out some big bucks to re-sign my better players. I think the cap space issue will normalize in the not too distant future the way JDB changed the structure for re-signing players.

What concerns me about this is when that does happen , that owner can simply walk away leaving a right mess behind him, and as you say in this case the team will be in dire straits for seasons to come. (This isn't a personal attack on NY)

Sounds to me like some semblance of auto-correction of contracts is needed - when team owner leaves some kind of automatic recognition of such bad contracts is required, then auto-adjust those contracts to more reasonable values. That way new owner doesn't inherit team in cap ****.

What the holy **** is going on here?
DT Javier Neely Signed contract with St. Louis ($24,500,332, 2 yrs) (from KCY) 2025 2025 Free Agency 3 DT Javier Neely Rejected contract offer from Chicago ($35,413,833, 6 yrs) 2025 2025 Free Agency 3 DT Javier Neely Rejected contract offer from Baltimore ($1,495,587, 1 yrs) 2025 2025 Free Agency 3 DT Javier Neely Rejected contract offer from New Jersey ($11,236,429, 2 yrs) 2025 2025 Free Agency 3 DT Javier Neely Rejected contract offer from Kansas City ($1,495,589, 1 yrs)
That is just INSANE. BTW 30% chance of retirement which means zip as we've all had players suddenly go on these %s. St.Louis isn't owned by anybody, its CPU. So if the CPU is making these kind of offers...?

I had so much cap space and needs that I did send a lot of 1 year contracts at high prices. Some I signed and some I didnt. Still sitting with 45 mil in cap space

I have tons of cap space too, but looking at this FA just does nothing for me and can't see what the point of signing old Vets is. I know we were in the POs, but feel we did get lucky on occasions, as far as I'm concerned this is Zona's last year of rebuild, next season...!!!

Look at the contract though, it's mostly base salary. Which means Chicago's offer must have been a really low bonus as well.
Year Salary Bonus 2025 $9,018,528 $3,006,175 2026 $9,469,454 $3,006,175
