Renegotiation Wizard

Does not really work. I thought the whole idea of it was to make large scale negotiations easier.
I have a team in MFN 48 with 28 players with 1 year left and about to expire.

New Jersey
Total Cap: $126,000,000
Dead cap: $4,591,939
Room under cap: $13,990,761
Cap used next year: $73,296,704
Dead cap next year: $11,229,435
Players under contract: 53

Even if I didn't have the $11k in dead cap I still couldn't make it work, its all becoming extremely time consuming and frustrating, more about Math than football.

It's likely that you are going to be unable to sign everyone to their asking price. This is how it should be trending, that you are forced to make decisions as to who you are going to let go to FA.

As it looks right now, it looks fine, but I would like to see some wiggle room created. On the same page have a dialogue box where you enter in a different figure and over a different amount of seasons. It be good if we could change the bonus as well. All this on the same page where you actually see what your cap is doing as you fine tune all the offers.

I am never just going to offer everybody exactly what they are asking for. Because of that, this tool is useless for me as it is now.

You can go back in to the contracts and modify them after submitting this form - first use the tool to get the bulk of your signings sent, then go to your 'pending contracts' page and modify the offers to your liking. Unless you are modifying every single contract (in which case a bulk action wouldn't do you a lot of good anyway) this should save you some time.
