Sorry but your request is a major deviation from the original intent and design of the structure of the TS. It deserves strong words because it is purely an attempt to grab MORE time to evaluate players and keep them off the UFA market. You're seeking to go into 1/3 of their 4th contract year and 4 full off-seasons to evaluate a player whose decision should be made up within 3 years. When we designed the TS, we were very clear that it was to be for 3 years, and that was because we didn't want players kept off the open market too long without any consequence.
