when you let a contract expire, when you resign the player, does he get a signing bonus? right now my player has 1 year left and wants 11K/seasin plus $58K. I dont want to pay the 58K.

no option. u have to pay the 58k bonus
When you do not want to re-new his contract just sell the guy......
But let a contract expire is not the smartest thing to do, you better sell him before that will happen.
I was told that it is better to wait for the contract to expire, then sign him as its the best option for $$$ and time of contract. I want the player, but am trying to get out of the signing bonus.
Afraid you can't get out of paying the bonus, It is the players "signing on fee" (10% of his value) just as in real life.
from what i understand but not sure about signing on fee if you let contract run out he`l only sign a 2 year contract not a 3 year contract so which do you want : ?
I will want a full 3yr contract, so i might as well wait for the price I will pay for him.
If you let a contract expire the player is at the next season in your rooste as an unasigned player. You have a couple of days to offer him a new one (money + wage). That is how to use the full 3 years (+ you want to extend) of contract efficiently.
Yes, thank you, I am aware of this, all I want to know is if it is possible to get away with not paying the signing fee or bonus. From what people have been saying, there is no way out of the signing fee.Quote:

If nothing else, this will reduce the signing fee because the player's value will be reduced. There is no difference to the length of the contract whenever you sign it. My one question is, do his previous skill points carry over after his contract runs out and you offer him a brand new one at the start of next season?
Even if you let the contract run out, you still have to offer the player the signing on fee. There is no way out of not paying it. I have to pay millions at my level.
Of course, that is what I wanted to know. So I just let all the contracts run out and the next day, I sign them and dont have to pay the signing bonus. That could easily save me $1M. I am level 3 manager now but I know I will be level 4 and 5 when the other players contracts run out, so it will save $Millions and always give me a full 3 years.Quote:

Thinking re this - is it worth renewing guys who will go on to their last year of contract next season, now? Will they ask for more or less next season - thinking that as they go down a star next season.
they go down a star and a % of worth too, so it is better for you financially to wait until the start of the next season, when their sign fee with be 10% of the new lower worth.Quote:
