I keep getting the message that we can't approve this contract because it increases payroll (by under 1%) in an upcoming season.

Is there any way to provide some flexibility with that number to lock down superstars?

What I'm suggesting is a 5-10% buffer where increasing is okay if it's used for a long-term contract, or some kind of way to ask for a small increase?

This is especially aggrevating since I'm well under my budget for this season, so I should be allowed to go up to the projected budget for future years, regardless of whether it's an increase?

The other financial issue I'm getting is that no team has any room to make a trade. I'm not running under a salary cap, but it feels like I'm in the NFL trying to do trades.

I'm using standard financial settings. Which ones should I change?
