Free Agent Scouting / Spending

1MM Private Workout [Coaches Opinion on players previous stats and ability, as well as personality traits and fit with team.]
1MM Scouting Report (Veteran Players) Basically a film study from your coach on a player on another team currently.

[Talon]

All Coaches contracts, PR for player/team/coach, Scouting, Retire a jersey etc. comes out of your PR Budget, a budget you will set each season out of your revenue/profits from the season before.  As you are aware from time to time the owners will expect you to spend PR on stuff THEY want for the team.

If you fire a coach or release a player you are obligated to pay out 50% of their contract for the remaining years you originally agreed. If a Coach walks out on you, you are given back their salary for the season provided they walk out during the season.

[Talon]

Starting S6:

Free Agency will run for "5 weeks" each week will have a pre-set real world time limit (TBD) players will not sign immediately (outside of contract extensions).   Each "week" will end with ESPN news announcing were each free agent has signed.  This will help the game reflect more of how this sim is set up for free agency.

Once the 5 weeks are simmed players will only sign for 1 year contracts to fill in for the year.
