Re: Draft Discussion 2021

Michael Carter RB....CFFL 63rd pick, EFFL 69th pick, Jets NFL Draft 4th round 107th pick overall I found that stunning. Carter could potentially see a lot of snaps in his rookie year, talented RB but is he an every down back? Only time will tell. Yeah, RBs are going to get over-drafted here. In the...

Re: 2021 RULES: Suggestions

The other factor besides the bid scores will be tweaking with the free agent bid limits. We already have limits like 5 year deals have to have x amount of salary and x amount of SB, etc. So there may be some simple tweaks to those restrictions there that may help a lot too in conjunction with some b...

Re: 2021 RULES: Suggestions

In our hockey league the signing bonus is only allowed to be 50% of the total value of the yearly contract. For example, if a guy signs a 4 year contract at $12 M he is only allowed a SB of $24 M. I am not proposing that but what if the SB couldn't be higher than the yearly salary ? This didn't aff...

Re: 2017 Off-Season Update

Appreciate that, but disagree on some points. I proposed a change to this system. It's a game-within-a-game in the NFL in reality with that UDFA cap, and that's GREAT for my vision of what this league is based in reality and around team-building competitions. As I learned about this in the NFL, I al...

Re: 2017 Off-Season Update

Understandable that there might be some confusion, and I agree and will work on clarifying more as I can. But in this case actually I wasn't quite sure of the exact details 100% until I got it working last night as I had to make some adjustments for things to work as hoped. Wish things were differen...

Re: 2017 Off-Season Update

Again, I think I'm fine with how its set up (though tweaks may be needed over time). I just wish it had been called a cap on signing bonus and salary rather than just calling it a cap on signing bonus. We can work on that labeling or communication, but it was never hidden and always part of the pro...

Re: 2017 Off-Season Update

Was this really an issue before? Does anyone remember a specific example? I'm just curious who gives a UDFA a ton of guaranteed money and what their situation was when they could have drafted them for far less guaranteed? I suppose if you had no or very few draft picks and a bunch of cash on hand y...

Re: 2017 Off-Season Update

The plan would be for signing soon to be off with several June 1st changes that get the league into more regular season mode. It's something to think about whether it should be on/off during this UDFA competition with cap limits, but I think we'll learn a lot about how this goes and possible changes...

Re: 2018 Free Agency Tweaks

Question!!! How are we going to settle ties for UDFAs? Because it is going to happen. I'm over 80 players now, not counting the draft, so if there's a player I really like, I will probably go my whole budget for him. Then the bid with the highest annual salary would win. My understanding is that it...

Re: 2018 Free Agency Tweaks

Another thing to keep in mind for teams that aren't really building through free agency or only looking in limited ways there... if you keep your eye out anyway for those bargains that look like they're going to sign below what you think they should, even if it's a player you don't need, it's likely...
