there good if you are paying your star QB 59K a week and knowing that he'd get more expensive every year; you can keep him at a low rate (although in my case; i ended up with one of my lb costing me 88K just this season alone (thats per week)

If you tag a player with a franchise contract at the proper age, you can save tons of money.
Just an example:
I signed a FC (3+1 years) of 44100 per week to a player with 27 years and block 34. I expect him to finish this season with block 37-38 and next one with 40-42. So next season i´m going to save around 8-16k per week next season and around 44-80k per week in two seasons. The good thing is that he have talent 4, so i can push him up to 47 in block without fear, because his contract will expire in season 10, moment in wich the player will have 31 years.
I signed a FC (4+1 years) of 60000 per week to a player with 26 years and tackling 34. I expect him to finish this season with tackling 37-38 and next one with 40-42. So next season i´m going to overpay him a maximun of 8k per week (or saving 2k) next season, but in 2 seasons i will save between 20-60k per week . The good thing is that he have also talent 4, so i can push him up to 47 in tackling without fear, because his contract will expire in season 11, moment in wich the player will have 31 years.

i tend to franchise some of my main positions when they reach 26/27 as that takes them to the end of their career really.

One hint as addition to the manual:

("There are different Contract types available. You can negotiate up to 5 Franchise Contracts for a length of 3 to 4 seasons...")

This mean, that you have in total "5 Franchise contract YEARS"

A contract for "this and 4 seasons" will consume 2 "Franchise contract years"

So these are the possible contracts:
5x "this and 3 years" (= 5 Franchise players)
1x "this and 4 years" + 3x "this and 3 years" (= 4 Franchise players)
2x "this and 4 years" + 1x "this and 3 years" (=3 Franchise players)

Perhaps the manual should get an u p d a t e with a better description.

Sorry. This might be total bullshit. I might to remember, that it would be this way, but it seem to be possible to negotiate 5 "this and 4 year" contracts.

So I'm still trying to understand the Franchise Contracts.

One Example: You give a player a contract for this and 4 seasons. This player "consume" 2 of 5 Franchise Contracts (FC). Will this 2 years be "free"...
..., when the Franchise player get a new contract in the last year of the FC?
... one after the first year and the second after the second year of the FC?

1.) This is the first time I heard about Franchise-contracts of different lenghts consuming a different amount of possible F-contracts.

2.) It's not mentioned in the manual.

3.) I have 4 players under 4-year-F-contracts at the moment. But 2 of them are running out, so your theory is still possible.

4.) Two players are under 4-year-F-contracts and I'm still able to negotiate a 4-year-F-contract. That shouldn't be possible if your theory would be correct.
