One-and-done.
1. Active bidding phase
2. Bidding phase ends
3. Previous owner has a one time opportunity to retain player by upping contract by one year or adding 10% to bid. If the previous owner opts in, the player is his. If the previous owner opts out, the player goes to the high bidder.
4. Of course, the previous owner does have the option to enter into the bidding phase. If that owner wins the bidding phase, the player obviously goes immediately to the winning owner.
