Based on what I have seen and heard talked about it would be like damag said if 4 teams offered 2/$5 for a total $10 mill team 1 no options may be the best 2 player option 3 mutal 4 team. so it would rank as the lowest but wouldnt diminish the value. If the team offered a 10,000,001 with a team option they would be the top offer. If that makes any sense.
I think this is accurate with the small exception that I believe a player option to be valued more than no option.
The player holds the cards, and if his ratings increase he could opt out in hopes of finding more $$ on the market, whereas no option doesn't afford him that luxury.
So I would rank them as follows:
Player Option
No Option
Mutual Option
Team Option
But the others are also correct in that the only time it would matter is in the case of multiple offers of the same exact dollar amount.
I also believe that so long as the dollar amount is equal, a shorter contract will trump a longer one.
ie. 3X8M is greater than 4X6M, even though total dollar amount for both is 24M.
