YKW Resigns the Future GOAT RB

lol you rude

I was actually kinda wondering if this is kosher... can you exercise an S8 TO when it isn't S8?

The rulebook says:
"Player Option (PO) - The player has a right in this season to opt out of their contract and go to free agency
Team Option (TO) - The team has a right to end the player's contract, without buying them out"

Genuine question not trying to start anything... rulebook doesn't say when you can do the TO but for PO it says it has to be that season so idk lol

I've always assumed it was the year prior because you can't exercise the option during the year it takes place. Once the year starts it has always been assumed they are now under contract for that year. You need to pay them at the beginning of the year and all that.

We could determine that the option has to be taken or declined before the preseason or something, but then that would delay payments to players, and/or have to revert payments cuz someone got paid then opted out.
