still struggling with RFAs

[Pat]

I offered most of them, what they were offering, and none have signed and none have declined.

Can I tell if the offers went through or not?

RFA's offers do not go through until the 2nd stage. The 1st stage was only to renegotiate with players who were currently under contract. However, you can click on the negotiate salary button of a player who you've offered to see if it lists your offer to them which will be in the upper right hand corner of the screen that pops up.

Is there a way to see what kind of draft pick compensation there is?

For example, I'm sure a lot of people are going after RFAs right now, but what kind of pick will I lose if I sign X player?

I could be wrong but i don't think it works that way. A restricted Free Agent means the team he is currently on has the right to match any offer that another team may bid on him. You will not lose a restricted Free Agent if someone else bids on one. You have the right to match it. Not sure how it works in the game but that is how i understand it in the NFL. Again i could be wrong.

WelshWizard - In the NFL at least, when you choose not to match the offer the other team makes to your RFA, you receive a draft choice from the team that signs the player.

Good to know. Thanks LetterV.

In this game, RFA's are not worth draft picks. Other teams have no access to them until after the draft when they become UFA's. You cannot go after another teams RFA players until then, and when you offer a deal in the current stage (whichever stage you offer them a deal in) you'll find out if they sign in the next stage.

To see that, just go to the transactions menu and find your players.. Transactions dealing with your team should show up in red, and are initially sorted chronologically, so the latest transactions will be at the bottom of the list.

There's no compensation picks here. You have until the draft to sign your RFA's and then they're fair game. Also, they probably won't want multiyear deals if they're half decent, so don't expect them to sign for much more than a season. Which might just save you a buttload if they tank or get injured anyway.

I'll say it again for the 1,001st time, though. Short term deals benefit the player, if they're half decent or starter quality. Always. Don't be shocked when what you think is a humongous multiyear deal gets turned down for a one year smaller deal because the player didn't like the built-in raise he was going to get without a bonus in your offer.

If you don't offer a second year raise that's bigger than what he might get in the open season for another signing bonus, he WILL turn your offer down no matter how huge and generous it looks to you - if someone else offers a one-year deal.

Starting caliber players make most of their money with signing bonuses that nobody can take away. So they're giving that guaranteed dough up to sign a multiyear deal with you, so it'd better be more than worth it, and conciderate of future salary inflation.
