*Contract Rules Issues

That's a big bucket of bullshit. Until the salary cap is increased, players will take minimums, whether you like it or not. The solution is there. Also, there is no way people can be offered more than a minimum contract, when a team only has $85m to play with, and around 18-20 players on the majors roster, along with OL bots. $27.5m is the cost of a full T4 bot OL, leaving the team with $57.5m to give on contracts. Make those bots T5, and the cost goes to $35m, leaving the team with $50m. You think the GM will give a rookie more money because they need it? Write media, do podcasts, make graphics, find a damn league job. Next time, before you complain about anything contract related, open the budget sheet, pull a calculator, a pen & some paper, or a google spreadsheet or the Excel, and crunch some numbers up. And it is so ironic, especially coming from a former GM.

See everyone says "get a league job" like jobs are just handed out to anyone that wants one. How many jobs go to the same group of people? How many times have rookies been passed on jobs? I get that there's a push to get more rookies involved in jobs but if 40+ new people join each season we dont have 40+ jobs available. Media/gfx/podcasts are good money making opportunities but not everyone has the drive/creativeness to make these consistently. 

Also I know as a former GM that money is easily thrown around. Teams will easily hand out bonuses at the end of the season because they have money left over not all but some. And of your arguement to not pay players is because they need the top tier bots then that is counterintuitive to what the hell we're doing here. 

We should not be screwing over active users because we want top of the line bots and even if you wanted bots you should expect a fall off in cap. Do NFL teams all have amazing OLs? Do they say "we're not paying our generational QB because we want more OL? No. There's a balance to this.

Since you said "check the spreadsheets" like the guy you are I did and wow would you look at that over half the teams in the league have over $2m in cap space some up to $6m but go off king about how the cap is to low.
