DEL Time: 10:56
 
Request For: Pro All Sports
Request Title: Franchise/Restricted Players
Description
The current structure of "Franchise/Restricted player" doesn't allow said players to use the market to get their correct value based on their abilities and/or talent level.
His current baseball team therefore can gain an advantage of having to pay player his $7.5 arbitration rather than his market value. Some of the top pitchers are in the range of $20m. It's also a disadvantage because some players values are not worth $7.5, forcing team to decline picking up that option. However, if the option was lowered at $3.5, teams would be more inclined to retain such player.
Football is the same. QB Franchise value is set at $13m, but I'm assuming the majority of the leagues top QBs are easily $6-8m more.
With an exclusive franchise a player should be within top 5% at his position. Maybe player offers team an offer within that 5% and the team can either to decide to accept or decline making player available for free agency.
Not sure how to go about breaking down lower valued baseball players since theirs are all set at $7.5m.

Admin Notes
First, please note baseball arbitration is not applicable to this request, as restricted free agents are available at market value rather than $7.50M.
Second, related to the assumed player values, some facts from a quick spot check could be useful:
- IBL's top-paid pitcher earns $12.76M/year, with the #30-paid QB (roughly the top 9%) getting $6.32M.
- EAFL's top-paid quarterback earns $12.99M/year, with the #5-paid QB at $7.74M
So, I'm not sure the statements above are accurate in terms of DEL prices being out of line with DEL salaries.
