Check two things.
1 - Is amount per year at least 100k higher than the last offer?
2 - Is the total contract value higher than the last total posted?
If the answers to 1 and 2 are "yes", then you got it.
- -
Q: What is the total contract value?
A: The number of years multiplied by the amount offered per year = the total contract value. As in 400k x 5 years = 2M
Q: But people don't always bid like that!!!!!!!!!!!!
A: Sorry.
Some owners apparently think they're expressing their individuality by posting years first, using all lower case letters, typing the letter "y" instead of word "year", leaving the words out altogether, or using some other variation of the Amount per year x number of years = Total format. I can't control that. Alright, I could, but you really don't want me to go there.
Somewhere in every post is an amount per year.
Somewhere in every post is a number of years.
Somewhere in every post is a total.
Find these three elements and you're halfway home.

Actually, three things to check: 3 - Is the yearly amount a multiple of $100K?

The point that people seem to keep choking on is EVERY bid has to increase the per season offer by at least 100k.
You can not win a player just by extending the contract length.
Stop thinking about adding more years. That doesn't cut it.
Think about adding to the per season offer.
