rule change proposal: keeper salary escalation

[Deleted]

I would like to propose a rule change for keepers and salaries:

Could we delay the salary escalation for one year?

In other words, can salaries stay the same for keepers the first year they are kept?

So, if a player drafted in Year 1 at $10:

Year 1: $10
Year 2: $10
Year 3: $13
Year 4: $18
Year 5: $23

etc.

I feel this would make the league more of a true keeper league, allowing everyone to keep players a little longer, and to keep an additional couple of players every year.

Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks!

Thanks for the idea.
We feel (much like real life contracts ) that with the bump in salary per year it make for 1. owners have to make more draft day decisions based on keeper $ 2. off season decisions must be made because of $ 3. Trades happen more often with a per year escalation
Maybe we could lower it to $2 to make it a true escalation?
We'll post a poll :-)

For me, the current settings are a good balance between allowing an owner to build a true Dynasty team without making draft day irrelevant.

I prefer the initial rules. Salary escalation every year keeps the league much more interesting.

Agreed, escalation seperates the men from the boys. Or another analogy would be the 2001 Mariners from the rest of the league (playoffs excluded)!
