Hence forth, any offers to pending free agents that are less than 60% of what the player and his agent believe he will likely receive in the open market this offseason, will be rejected and all further contract negotiations will be broken off with no other offers even read.
Govern your offers accordingly, and stop wasting my time.

Mr Swinton .. thats rediculas. So its ok for the team to say, if the counter offer is 115% higher than expected all negotiations are off and no other offers will even be read.
Thats a joke. Sorry, but its only a function of being in a SIM that gives you the leeway to make that statement. In the SIM world, the agent has NOTHING to lose if the player doesnt sign. Its not like the player will a) fire him or b) he will lose any commision. Unlike in the real world where the agent has to take all those real life considerations.
For the record, any agent that would take the attitude with me will see his client recieving his QO and he can rot if he doesnt like it.
So, maybe instead of the *sim* agent and the GM's having a *my balls are bigger* argument, why dont you reconsider your blanket approach to this ?
