What do you think of my nfl contract dispute resolution idea?
I have an idea of how to solve these contract problems where guys think they are out performing their current contract. Every year have every player re-negotiate their contract according to how they performed the past season. This way guys would not feel under appreciated and owners would not feel they are over-paying for a under performing player. Here would be the rules:
1. The current team has first negotiating rights so guys wouldn't be switching teams every year
2. To prevent the extra work required by the general manager and other team personnel you could have a statistical/pay chart to help automate the process (e.g. you gain this many yards you get paid X, you get this many tackles you get Y, etc)
3. Position coaches could also be asked to rank their respective players in terms of value to the team as another factor to help alleviate the problem of guys being important to the team, but not putting up big numbers
4. Players that get injured could keep the same salary from the previous year
5. Guys would also be less inclined to switch teams a lot which would make the fans happy because it is unlikely there are going to be 2 or 3 receivers who put up huge numbers on one team and unlikely there are going to be multiple linebackers who have huge tackle numbers or multiple DEs who put huge sack numbers because there are only so many plays, yards, sacks, tackle, etc. opportunities in a game.
