Re: 2019 RULES: Sign and Trade

One idea I had today was to implement a no-trade clause on short deals that a high signing bonus. I'm not sure where that would fit into the poll options though. This would be another way of working towards a salary cap floor like they have in the NFL. No team in the NFL would be able to take a $30 ...

Re: Free Agency and Draft Dates

Based upon that new feedback, new dates submitted to me for unavailability after the poll created, and discussion since, that later date that makes the most sense to me based upon reported conflicts and everything would be starting the weekend after Memorial Day holiday. We still have some time, so...

Re: Free Agency and Draft Dates

I’d really like to see more time before the draft. The NFL has over a month between the start of FA and the draft. If the aim is realism we at least need more than a week.

Re: Off-Season Rules Discussion

I agree with the several AFFL players that have voiced opinions. I feel like this is another topic that comes up every year. Let's just keep it the way it is for now.

Re: 2018 RULES: Free Agency Cracks

I think I fall into this camp: but others may argue extra bids not needed just better management of those bids by teams before complaining about players signed cheaply while they bid otherwise. The point of having the number of bids limited early in free agency is in order to force teams to focus ef...

Re: 2018 RULES: Free Agency Cracks

Do you have any data on the number of UFAs at the start of the Free Agency period?

Right now there are 160 free agency bids that can be placed league-wide on day 1. Are there 160 UFAs worthy of a first day bid that isn't at league minimum?

Re: madden ratings

It's a frequent topic of discussion each off-season, but head's up on that. We cannot use premium information that isn't publicly available free for anyone. I can't post information here free that people have to pay for at the source otherwise. i'm not am expert on the laws for this issue but I tho...

Re: 2017 Season Update

I know it's not going to be a popular statement, but I'm ok with moving our draft well into May. I think we want to delegate plenty of time to the early phases of the off-season (Free Agency, trades, etc). We are basically 2 weeks away from the real life draft, so it will probably be late April bef...

I think whoever you had at the top of your depth chart should be starting. If that's Roethlisberger, then you'll get the default update.
