That's why you had issues.
See what the bonus requirement is for that player, then give him that bonus amount with as little base salary as you can manage.
They won't always accept your first offer, but eventually you'll get them signed for less than what they were asking for.
I don't ever pay a player more than I have to, unless I am in a bidding war for a FA.
I assume this is for in season renegotiations? If so you are really only changing the remaining years of the actual contract I assume, and leaving the base, and bonus as is for the additional years? Or am I misunderstanding?
Thanks in advance!
Regarding in season or not: Yes and no. It doesn't have to be in-season if they are still under contract to you. It can be during early FA if you like, or during the playoffs after you've been eliminated, or any time in between. As long as they are under contract to your team, you don't have to bid against anyone else, so I recommend trying to re-sign them for as little as possible.
During early (sometimes late) FA, you will have to bid against others, so you will need to pay what the market demands.
During the season, if I need a FA I still offer a small contract and hope nobody else happens to be going after the same guy at the time.
Hope this helps.
