: FA contracts of less than 3 years are allowed during Free Agency 1.1 through 1.12 if the average annual value (AAV) of the deal is less than $5mil.
Simple enough. Want to offer a 2 yr deal to an aging QB to be your backup? 2yrs/$8mil = good (AAV = 4). 2yrs/$12mil = no good (AAV = 6). 1yr/$5mil = good. 1yr/$7mil = no good. Simple math.

Yes, or to put it another way:
-1 yr deals are allowed as long as total comp doesn't exceed $5mil
-2 yr deals are allowed as long as total comp doesn't exceed $10mil
-3+ yr deals, business as usual
So, less than or equal to (<=) 5 million per year.
(I guess I assumed that anyway. It makes sense.)
(I put in deals that were right at the "equal to" mark. I hope that others didn't assume that 4.99 and 9.98 were the maximum numbers, because I would feel very bad for signing any free agent on such a technicality.)
I can't wait to find out who the FAs think is more of a winner, me or Columbus ;)
Nemesis and I have an interesting identical offer put out to a guy we are both marginally interested in, and likes winning. We're both rolling the red carpet out, let's see which team puts on the more swindling show.
