[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1075626, member: 10086"] Ok first of all two ideas come to mind. The first is more directly related to your question. I feel like the loyalty from the FO is average to below average. Both parties are to blame because players sometimes leave over trivial $$. However it’s often initiated by seeing their friends put out to pasture a year or two too early. There’s fear that the relationship won’t be respected from the Employer. For good reason too. One thing I’ve learned in nearly 40 years in business is you can achieve results by creating financial incentives for the results you desire. This goes for Employees of all industries. I would like to see a more player/team/family friendly, amicable approach to retaining incumbents. Such as the team can reduce the individual player salary CAP by 10% for each year of fully guaranteed up to 30%. Thus a Davante 3X$90mil fully guaranteed pays him $30m annual and exceeds outside offers, but applies just a total of $63M Cap. A smaller scale 3X$15Mil fully guaranteed applies just $10.5mil (equivalent of $3.5M annual against the cap). You’d instantly see more 2+ and 3+ year deals overlapping 3 year deals. Tons of players would remain intact for 3-6 years + (Rookie deal) So you can use the same $$ the player is chasing to give them a smidge better contract to the player, but a smidge better advantage to the resigning team. Many players have families that uproot every other year. This is a terrible example to set for our spouses and children. That the NFL isn’t interested in their continuity. We’ve somehow put greed at the forefront at the expense of player and their families as they are literally forced to chase $$ and at any expense. The effect is continually penalizing families.
