I like the idea of paying more for short contracts if we were to require all players to sign a contract!

What you could do is the second a player is acquired, either via the transfer list or by draft pick, they go into a special "injured" status to where they can't play until they sign a contract. If they go four weeks without a contract then they get released.

Then we need to figure out what the average amount of time a player spends on a team is and make that the baseline length of a standard contract (you pay the normal amount). If the player signs a longer than average contract they get to lock in a salary discount for the length of the contract. The longer the contract the higher the discount. Conversely, the shorter the contract, the higher the salary you will have to pay will be. So yea, a two week contact could be 120% of his normal salary while a 3 year contract could be 90% of normal salary.
