I'm interested to see if the long list of other player retention rules we have on the books are going to stifle the RFA interest. That just might end up being the case.

I guess I'm more in the belief that bidding closer to your target figure for a RFA is better than nickle and diming the bids, and potentially letting a guy slip through too cheap as a result. This isn't typical UFA bidding where you're trying to acquire a guy as cheap as you can, the goal here is to force these players to sell at or above market value, and hopefully pull 1 or 2 by making the match difficult on the tendering team.
