Please vote in favour / against the RFA Rule Change Proposal.
Proposal: beginning in the 2022 offseason, RFA will be introduced. RFA rules are as follows:
RFA Rules
1. Teams can designate 1 player a year as a Restricted Free Agent (RFA), if they choose. Teams can only designate 1 player as an RFA per offseason
2. A player can't be made an RFA in consecutive offseasons, i.e. 2022/23 and 2023/24
3. RFA bidding acts as normal free agency bidding with the 1st offer as 1 year, 100k from the original team
4. If a team designates a player as RFA and no other teams bid, they are obligated to sign that player for 1 year 100k
5. If a different team wins the bidding for the RFA player, the original team has the option to match the winning bid and keep the player
6. If the original team does not match the bid they receive a compensation draft pick from the team that won the bidding for the player in the next year's draft
7. If the original team keeps the RFA, no draft pick is rewarded
Pick Rules
The round for the pick that the team has to give up (if the original team does not match the bid for their RFA) is determined by where the player ranked in points on ESPN, not by the final $$ bidding amount:
Player ranked 1-25= 1st round pick
Player ranked 25-75 = 2nd round pick
Player ranked 76-125 = 3rd round pick
Player ranked 126-200 = 4th round pick
Player ranked 201-300 = 5th round pick
Player ranked 300+ = No pick provided
Teams will give up their own picks by default - if they do not have their own pick they must get another pick (depending on the round) and provide that pick
If a team has more than one pick in a round (multiple picks that are not their own) the team losing their RFA chooses which team's pick they want. This choice is made at the time the RFA is signed, not during / after the season
