I think 1 buyout limits the abuse of the option, though I do think it's a bit generous to have one every FA. I was thinking around 1 every 3 seasons would be enough to keep the bloated contracts in check, so 2 or 3 per resign period seems good.

How about everyone gets 1 buyout per year? Maybe coincide. 3 resigns per period = 3 buyouts per period. I realise there is only one year remaining in this period. Perhaps all owners have one buyout for the remainder of this resign period?? I like this. Let's do it that way, if everyone is good with that? 3 buyouts per re-sign period. And rather than institute the buyout rule at the start of the season, we'll just start it next summer. Work for everyone?

Thats fine.
I would limit jt a bit further. But 3 is fine.
1-2/per period is ideal in my mind.

I don't know that we need to limit it even more because I just can't see that many teams using it. If anything, this rule should really help teams without star players who are trying to collect assets. They'll have cap space to take on unseemly contracts. Other than that, players with one year left are still required to be waived, and anyone else will have to have additional cap room to buyout a guy (rather than gaining cap room following a waiver).

Like I said, Im fine with 3.
You would have to have scrubs only on your team to use them all in a short period of time. It would be hard to "abuse" this rule simply because the cap and minimum roster requirements prevent it.
Unless you use it on guys with smaller contracts, and even in that instance, Im not shre you hurt anyone but yourself by wasting buyouts.

OK. Since there hasn't been any pushback, the rule will officially go into effect in the summer of 2019. Teams will have 3 buyouts in 5 years, and the cycle will run at the same time as the re-sign cycle.

All but settled but I feel it only fair we send out an email blast when a player gets bought out. Then we can say we at least tried to notify everyone of the new addition to FA

OK, everyone, in discussing the upcoming buyout rule, the mods thought it would be a good idea to have the buyout period run concurrently with the re-sign period. That would mean pushing back the start of the buyout period by a year.
However, as everyone is on board with adding this rule, how about this compromise:
The buyout rule will go into effect next summer, with every team allowed 1 buyout in the 2019-2020 season. At the conclusion of the season, the new 5-year buyout period will kick in with the re-sign period. Both will adhere to the 3 in 5 rule.
Sound good?

The current resign period ends next summer (2019) right? Do you want a single buyout for that summer before the next period starts? I don't get why we would get 1 buyout for the 2019-2020 season, isn't that the first season of the new period?

The new re-sign period starts in the summer of 2020, so teams would get the option to use one buyout at any point between summer 2019 and summer 2020. It would be a use it or lose it buyout.

Doesn't bother me either way ... as I will never have enough spare cash in my salary cap to utilise the buyout clause - haha
