OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - How do you get a player to take a front loaded contract?

I should have added some numbers. I am trying to stretch the contract out to 8 years and front-loading it so they still make a boatload of money but without as much cap hit.
For example (by contract year):

$13.0M
$11.0M
$9.5M
$7.5M
$7.5M
$6.5M
$6.5M
$6.5M

Cap Hit for this would be $8.5M and player makes $68M over 8 years. As I mentioned earlier, I might be able to get him down to $10.5M over 6 years, but I need the cap space.

Is there any point in trying to do this or is the player just going to insist on the average amount and length of contract? It's not clear by what the player "tells" me in the UI.
