Success re-signing fa if they won't deal before? Topic

Just curious if anyone has had success re-signing their own players who won't negotiate a deal, and insist on going into their fa year.  I know from experience that you get the chance to re-sign him in the offseason of his free agent year, typically with a note that says no matter what, they are fileing.

In other words, does 5 mil over the price work?  does bonus money work?  i have two key guys who are saying this, and they are both free agents next eyar in one of my leagues.  if i knew i could get them by meeting their price and throwing a 5 mil bonus at them, at least i could plan.  or if i knew to beat their demands by 3 mil per year, etc.....

You mean prevarications, right? ;-)

My mistake.
