Not sure if you guys did but it would be interesting to recast the all the resigns from last season and see how they stacked up to the contracts that were approved. If I could figure out a way to see all the historical rankings without hunting and pecking I could help.
Here's the results of applying this to all of last year's re-signs. Player's name is listed and salary they received. Numbers below them are their fantrax "scores" from 2016, 15 & 14. Then the average and what the system here would have made the contract.
