Double the remaining value of the contract. If you want to cut a
player who has one $20 season left - that'll be $40 please. If you buy
a dog - you may have to deal with his fleas.

Same as pretty much everyone else - it's an extra $5/year dded to the
player's drafted salary. That is, if you wish to extend a $10 player
for 2 years, his new salary is $20/year and you pay half the total
value of contract into the pool - which is another $20 ((20+20)/2).

One wrinkle in my league - we dicided that we want more player
turnover. It sucks for 90% of the league when someone has an
underpriced start for 5-6 years. So, there's no option year and you
can extend for only 1 or 2 years. No more 3 years deals and keep the
guy another year at an option...
