I made a tool a few seasons ago in order to help with contract extensions. If you have the patience to resign every player manually, it will save you cap space. I've decided to release it to everybody now. Hope it helps out.

Ha. I've done the same thing.

Mine also has a section for calculating the biggest "max" offer, although I'm not sure I've ever actually offered that much for a FA.

well it has been said GREAT MINDS think alike

This needs to be a sticky and stay handy at the top!

I made a few tweaks to make it a bit more clear. Please let me know if anyone has any issues or things I could clarify.

Thanks for this! just started playing and had no clue how to even start with negotiations.

Jsid also caused the banking crisis of 2007-08
