You can't actually renegotiate rookie contracts till year two. Then, if you offer him a minimum zero bonus deal the program will tell you the minimum bonus the player will accept to renegotiate. From there, there is a requirement that the prorated bonus amount not exceed 75% of the total hit for any one season, It sounds more complicated than it really is. It's really a player by player thing to me. Sometimes it makes sense to do it early, sometimes not. A rookie player will adjust his "demands" based on whether he booms or busts as well...
