Trades should be available now, but let me know if you have any problems. There are lots of moving parts to those with picks, salaries, cap hits and players moving around from team to team, so any little error can mess with them. I did a test trade and reversal trade, and it seemed to work for me, ...

I would prefer at least 1 day on a week day at the beginning of the draft so I’m not giving up a full weekend to be on my phone/computer versus spending it with the family.

1. Less player movement, longer rebuilds, more frequent GM turnover.
2. Over-valued average players because elite players become less moveable due to deflated prices.

This is a completely accurate depiction of what will happen in my opinion.

Curious what the number would be? Would there be a cap on total draft picks or just round 1 picks? In the NFL, multiple teams have had multiple 1sts since 2000, a handful of teams have had 3 1sts in a draft since 2000, and in 2000 the Jets has 4 1sts and used them all. How do you cap it? Feels like...

What’s next? NFL teams would never really trade elite QBs in their primes, but on here it happens. Are we also going to start telling GMs what trades are allowed? Because that isn’t exactly realistic either but it’s part of what makes FanGM as fun as it is! We’re all playing by the same rules here w...

There seems to be an issue with the trading of the 2020 picks. It says the picks aren’t available for trade.

Because it's a different salary to signing bonus ratio. If we can get a similar ratio for free agency then i dont think anyone would have an issue. I think 200% max would be much more realistic. If the aim is truly wanting to reach towards realistic possibilities then a team signing a player to a 1...

If youre referring to bpboguta I think he is saying in terms of modeling contracts and how there should be a salary to signing bonus ratio. I dont think he meant LTC would be different from regular free agency. I’m rgonna referring to a player in a league that was given a 5 year LTC and then traded...

How is signing someone to a huge signing bonus in free agency and trading them that same day any different from a team that places a 5 year LTC on a player and then trades them that same day?

So I feel like I’m the jerk that started all of this discussion (Phillip Rivers contract in the AFFL) but I do have to say, you give me a set of rules to play within and I will play within those rules, trying to find any advantage I can legally to benefit my team. I know a lot of you will disagree w...
