What type of offers will RFAs receive?

Restricted Free Agents (RFAs) typically receive offers that are either 110% of their previous salary or an amount determined by the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). This structure allows teams to retain some control over their players while ensuring that the offers made to RFAs reflect their value based on prior performance.

The rationale behind this is to balance team flexibility and player compensation. The CBA provides a framework for player contracts, including minimum thresholds that teams must adhere to when making offers. The option for a 110% increase ensures that RFAs are rewarded for their contributions, particularly if they have performed well in their previous season.

In contrast, the other options suggest fixed or minimum contracts that do not accurately reflect the rationale behind the payment structures for RFAs as established in the league regulations. The emphasis on a percentage of previous earnings or CBA-driven amounts aligns with the purpose of maintaining competitive equity and rewarding player performance while allowing teams a degree of leverage in negotiations.
