No FA Tool? That's fine, but the fact is that simply tacking on years with a lesser salary isn't realistic. Three things that could help add realism; automatic NTC on 5+ year deals, option years no longer accepted, and increased bid minimums on longer contracts. I mean what does a player gain from signing a 2M/3 deal? Realistically a player is either going to want more money for that kind of length or opt for a shorter deal in order to prove themselves:
1 Year: 600K
2 Years: 1M
3 Years: 5M
4 Years: 8M
5 Years: 10M
6 Years: 12M
7 Years: 15M
Realistically players don't sign 3+ year deals unless there's some quality cash involved and they definitely don't sign 5+ year deals unless there's some very serious cash. Admittedly forcing NTCs isn't realistic but in a way it's our own version of 10 and 5 rights. As well as keeping teams honest in their bids. And if they aren't, it's going to cost them a good chunk of change to buy it out.
