After signing a player, how about you have a 2-day window where you can alter a signed free agent's contract PROVIDED that the total amount in the contract at least stays the same. After the alteration, the player does NOT re-enter the bidding pool.
Example, not that I want to do this or anything, but say I decided I wanted Jacoby Ford for 4 seasons instead of 1 but I won the bidding with a 1yr $50,000 deal. As it stands, I would need to have re-offered the 4yr deal while he's a free agent, which would have restarted his 24-hour clock and the rest of the teams might decide "oh yeah, Jacoby Ford" even though I was about to 'win' him for only $50k.
The proposal would mean I have until 12:00PM on Sunday to rework the deal.
