In the other league that a few of us are in, and I am sure in other leagues as well, they have an exception for salary relief for injured players. If a player retires unexpectedly due to injury, teams can get a 50% salary break once they no longer receive projections. The example being talked about in the MLBSA is Prince Fielder. He'll likely get a projection in 2017, which lucky for Ty is his last year under contract, but if he was under contract through 2018 or later, Ty could get a 50% salary break on his pay.
Is that something owners here might be interested in?

I am against this. Anything that makes a gm think twice before handing out a big contract is a good thing.

I once heard about a league that allowed a form of this in allowing long term deals to have a fixed annual insurance policy on a player (10% of annual pay), but I'm not sure I even like that. |

I'm leaning towards Team Bri-Han on this one. I think we currently have a neat dynamic where GMs can win a FA bid on an older player by going an extra year in free agency, knowing they probably won't get a projection that year, but it increases their chances of paying less per year up front.

I'm against this as well. Only out on a contract I see worth doing is the death clause which we already have.

Im against this for all the above reasons. Like T-dog I think the Death clause should be the only option.
