Kinda odd that they updated Carl Nicks' grade. I don't remember them doing that for a FA before in the middle of the season.

Tampa actually has a restructure left. I think he should have to use it to get back in compliance.

Much ado about nothing. It's a game within the game, and it works within the framework of the rules set forth by commish. I don't like the one-week minimum because I'm near the end of the line in waiver priority. If there are multiple guys cut that I'm interested in, I'm going to put in a claim for ...

How does that work if a veteran retires mid-season? We're still on the hook for his full salary?

Nice!

Why not make it to where the 2nd bid can't decrease the total value of the contract, but can reduce salary & add to SB? ie - Bid 1 - $10M / year salary - $0 SB over 5 years Bid 2 - $5.5 M / year salary - $25M SB over 5 years (5.5 instead of 5 so the yearly total still increases) Bid 3 - $3.7 M /...

"The other option, outside of great suggestions to come hopefully otherwise, would be keeping things mostly as they were but not allowing the 1000K bonus on a huge deal otherwise being enough to counter and requiring an x% increase in cap hit/year or something." I think the 1000$ bonuses w...

The problem isn't the anonymity, its that the counter bid needs to be increased to make it a realistic counter. Having private bidding worked fantastic last year, and eliminated the GMs out there who purposely bid against certain GMs, whether they're a rival, or whatever the motivation. The idea of...

Whether it's something that we retrofit to all previous contracts is one thing, and you make a good point about GMs who may have already acted on a player's contract bc of the 5th year option.
Another discussion is what we should do moving forward on these contracts.

Sounds like a lot more work for commish with very little to show for the league in the end. This league being fiction trying to mimic the real league, we have to draw the line somewhere.
