Due to popular request (popular being one person), I have updated the league file.
Day 5 Coach signings on Monday night.
Thanks for updating the league file, Zev.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think $100k would sign a scout. Now I know. Interesting.
I think my last scout's contract was the same - 100K for 5 years. I'm surprised I haven't seen more of it.
ReplyDeleteI just bid something low. But it's comforting to know I can go lower.
ReplyDeleteSince they're completely fungible the lower possible price is the target.
I remembered Paul's $100K scout contract from the 2011 coach signing season when I was busy patting myself on the back for cagily lowering my scout's contract from $250K to $240K and wondered out loud how much lower I might be able to go.
ReplyDeletePaul pointed out what he was paying. Kind of took the wind out of my sails.
As eager as I am to spend $5m on a coach, I'd love to see if I could get a scout to sign for $1. I always figured they wouldn't sign for less than a basic major league contract ($300k).
