Everyone can now start placing bids on free agents.
We use XFN to run FA bidding. Here is an overview of how this works.
1)The bidding period will be open until 7 pm eastern tomorrow night. At which point it will move on to the final bidding period. During this period, XFN will accept bids for another 5 to 20 min. It is random, and we do not know when it will close. So the last few min gets pretty intense. It's kind of like Ebay bidding.
2)Use the XFN console to submit your bids on players. The player will tell you how much they want and how long of a contract they will accept. All you control is how much money to give them.
3)Players of particular marquee value will have "signing bonus" 40% rules attached to them. This means that if a player's total salary is 20 million their signing bonus must be at least 8 million. Otherwise the bid does not qualify and the player will not be added to the winning bidders team.
Marquee players are designated as guys who are less than 30 years old and over 84overall.
Happy bidding.

Alex Smith and Dan Bailey's cap does match the 40 percent rule. Their contracts have been changed to match the rule.
