I have to prepare two separate counteroffers for a team and theyhave to be structured differently, can't be the same. I have tofigure out how to make sure it's good for the player. Having asigning bonus up front would be good in one of them but not surehow to structure that. There has to be enough deferred compensationover the 4 years so that the team can financially afford it
It has to meet the following four guidelines.
4 year term
Contract total PV (present value) must have a $15.5M-$16M range.(Used a 5.5% discount rate i=.05)
The player must earn AT LEAST ($600,000) In each of the playingyears
Build in a deferred compensation pattern.
