*Minimum Contracts: What to do?

[timeconsumer]

I do like the proposed system. I just think a lot could be solved if people just demanded the money they deserve. Just because you have a full bank account from your league job doesn't mean you should take a 500k contract. It gives your team an unfair advantage in cap space and there's not really much realism in it. It just throws the whole cap system out the window when we start paying people what they want/need and not what they deserve.

A starting QB should earn more than pretty much everyone on offense, not the league minimum because he's already rich, you know? Let's get selfish.

Yeah but sometimes it's not a person being only a player. The Otters have at least 4 players in their front office who handle scouting, strategy, and all sorts of other tasks that other teams would only have a GM do. These might be considered normal players because they aren't technically GMs, but they are by all accounts heavily invested in their team. Which is more in their best interest, charging more money for a contract to earn more TPE or taking a cheap contract to help the team that they put time and effort into managing find success? The lines are blurred in situations like this and to them being selfish is actually putting their team first, because they are already dedicating free time to make the team better, why not make your job easier and give your team more cap?
