Max Contract Extensions per Team - S24

Since Team OVR is somewhat unpredictable and possibly buggy it is clearly not fair to use that in the max re-signing equation for future seasons. We looked at different options and ended up back at last year's rule of 3 re-signings with modifiers (-1 for Championship Round or +2 for non-playoff) as the simplest way to balance things without encouraging tanking. That change would help 9 teams but actually hurt 5 other teams while the rest stayed the same. Despite the buggy Team OVR which negatively impacted 4 teams, if we changed to a system that negatively impacted 5 other teams that would be equally unfair.
So, in order to ensure that nobody is negatively affected by the Team OVR bug or a change in the system we decided to use both systems this season. We will take the average of the 2 systems and roundup. Basically, everyone will get the better number out of the 2 systems. This method also leads to a relatively similar amount of total re-signings so the free agent pool should be just as deep without anyone losing a re-signing due to the change.  

After this season we will leave Team OVR out of the equation and switch to the new system, 3 re-signings with modifiers (-1 for Championship or +2 for non-playoff). Another benefit of this is everyone will know exactly how many re-signings they'll have for the following season before the offseason starts.
