Re: Long Rookie Holdouts

You usually have lots of options. You don't have to stick with the #1 offer to save money.

Unless we're talking about an elite player keep your bonuses low, zero if possible and be flexible on the pay and incentives. In many cases you can offer a lot of incentives knowing they won't get them anyway.

Guys that you are not sure if they are going to make the squad next year sign them anyway but keep the bonus low and you can always cut them later with little penalty.
