*Minimum Contracts: What to do?

[timeconsumer]

right. And I get how minimum contracts are there to avoid this just as much to make it difficult on teams....but if there is no internal incentive to get paid by the teams because one can get paid elsewhere, then we won't ever see the players fighting for a higher salary. If that's ok with everyone, then no problem. But if we want to see dramatic salary negotiations like in the NFL, I think the only solution is cutting off [edit: or reducting] other sources of money or adding other things to buy.

To be fair I also get paid a significantly higher amount of money than your average player because of my simmer's salary.

I do like your idea about skipping PTs. Maybe if we made it so that only contract money could be used to skip PTs we'd be onto something. However that makes the bankers have to track separate monies which is a whole other animal. Maybe for every $1m you make in a season you get 1 PT skip token thingy. You could just track those in your update page, there's about 12 PTs in a season so if someone gets a big contract they only have to do Ultimus week.
