What percent increase does the qualifying offer provide for a 2nd round restricted free agent in 2020?

The qualifying offer for a 2nd round restricted free agent in 2020 provides a significant percentage increase over the player's previous year's salary. Specifically, the amount of the qualifying offer is set to be 110% of the player’s previous season’s salary. This mechanism is designed to incentivize the re-signing of restricted free agents while also providing a fair compensation level relative to their prior earnings.

For any 2nd round restricted free agent, this means that if they earned $1 million in the previous season, their qualifying offer for the following year would be $1.1 million, reflecting that 110% increase. This ensures that players are compensated for their contributions while also allowing teams an opportunity to retain them within their roster policy. The percentages listed in other options either exceed or do not meet the established figure for 2020.
