Re: Rule discussion for next year if not sooner

Quite honestly spending $62 million on a player for any long term strategy is crazy. As in extremely high risk, with questionable reward. If the player gets injured this year, that pretty much throws out a whole season by having so much of the cap allocated to a single player. Even in the best case ...

Just chiming in here to say that I wouldn't even give up a 2nd for Fields at this point, so there really is a huge variance in value opinions. :D

Re: 2024 Off-Season Update

This is really a great addition. I'd encourage you to still add the earlier years if you have that data even if it sort of has an asterisk attached to it as you mentioned. Also, any chance you can do the same with the game results and standings themselves?

Re: Simulation Adjustments for 2023

Did you come up with any changes to the default kicker update?

I currently don’t have a kicker on an NFL roster (despite having 3-4 in my fanulation training camp kicker competition), and I’d like to know what I may be dealing with if I don’t acquire a kicker with real stats.

Re: FREE AGENCY / DRAFT DATES 2023

I agree with Tino. I incorporate the NFL Draft into my board (were actually selected, which real GMs I trust, etc). I am strongly opposed to having our draft before the real one.

Re: FREE AGENCY / DRAFT DATES 2023

Sounds good.

How about the trade tool? Do you anticipate opening that up before the start of free agency?

Free Agency: Sunday AM 4/23
Draft: Saturday AM 5/6

So let's plan on that.
What does that mean for the franchise tag deadline?

Re: 2023 RULES: Trades covering portion of salary

I voted for the “yes but limit” because I think this option could incorporate some of the above concerns mentioned by others. The limit could be tied to how much cap space a team has before the trade, which could be a way to help encourage a cap floor.

Re: 2022 Draft Speed

I've really liked this format. I'd be fine with 15 minutes per pick instead of 20, but it has been so nice to have just a single round per day. Not only has it allowed me to be less stressed about updating my board with the latest selections (I have my board in a separate spreadsheet, so I have to e...

Re: 2022 Draft Format/Date

I'm willing to do this whenever, but May 14 I'm taking my son on his first "camping" trip. We'll be staying in my cousin's backyard so it isn't a huge deal but I'd rather be drafting from my PC than my phone if possible. I also think it would be fine to have more time between Free Agency a...
