So, from what I understand, the "NEW $(M)" column takes the player's age into account. Players who are 27+ fall under "UFA", and players under 27 fall under "RFA"?

Yes, although I made a typo and accidentally made UFAs 26+. That's fixed. Also, RFA salaries in NEW are rounded to the nearest $50k, as with UFAs (where the greed modifier is applied before rounding).

...offers over 3M to 5M = 1-5 years
...offers over 5M = 1=7 years
Offers which exceed this bracket in terms of contract length will be subject to the 10% per year increase that currently applies to long-term contracts for players coming off of their ELC (so-called "bridge contracts").
Just noticed that one exception (I assume) to this will be players on their ELCs (they can be offered 3 years for less than $1M).

Erm, UFAs on their ELCs?

Already found out it ain't just for UFAs.
