Re: Thoughts on new CBA and upcoming season

["Jim Meninno" <jim_meninno@hotmail.com>]

I've been wondering this myself.  If it works this way, then at year 7 
they might want a 3 year deal again, just to get a bigger one at year 
10!  This system could have put an end to the long term, guaranteed 
contract!

Are we sure that it is not built into the system that the contract can 
increase as you reach the next tenure level?  I.e., a 7 year contract 
could include 2 years at 0-6, 3 at 7-9 and 2 at 10+.  Or, is the entire 
contract bound by the limits for your length of service at the time of 
signing?
