We’re headed into the back parts of the CBA, where they throw in attachments that are frequently referenced in the main document. The first of two main exhibits that’s worth reviewing is the Exhibit 1: Standard Players Contact.
The attachment in the CBA is the main template for contacts.
Paragraph 1 sets salary and is one of the few places that is up for negotiation – if the deal is one-way or two-way, if there’s a difference between salary from year to year, and so on. When a contract is filed with the Central Registry, they check to make sure the salary agreed upon doesn’t violate anything in Section 50 and to make sure that the player is eligible to be signed at that time.
