You and I are going to have to agree to disagree then.
I completely disagree with you that depth is not important. If you have a bunch of A-rated players on your team that are backed up by a bunch of C-level guys (which I have seen), if one of your A-rated players goes down, you're screwed. Sure, you don't win championships with depth, but you can lose them without having it.
And, as for retaining players from past drafts, you really can't base anything on the past. The salary cap has been ridiculously high for a while and was cut drastically this year - and, as you saw, the people who had plenty of highly-paid players had to scramble to get out of cap hell.
So, feel free to try to bury me and discredit me, but when a TE like Owen Daniels last year was paid over $8M (by me in the CFFL after a bidding war) and a LB like Geno Hayes is being paid over $8M as well, it just continues to illustrate my point.

Re: Future Rule Change
While our contracts do not have the guaranteed money that the NFL does, I see no problem with it. We all play by the same rules. I am not going to offer someone guaranteed money unless another GM does while we are bidding for a player. As for the GM who bid $8 M on Owen Daniels, you have no one to blame but yourself. Sometimes while bidding, we get ino the thrill of winning and fail to see the big picture.
As GM's, we have to be smarter. I dont know why anyone would bid $1.5 M on Ray Rice with a $1 M roster bonus aand $1 M per year as a signing bonus. Did you really think the owner of Ray Rice would not match it ? I was hoping you would bid the same on Dwayne Bowe.
