Re: 2019 RULES: Sign and Trade
Posted: Sat May 12, 2018 3:53 pm
I have changed my vote from keep the same to 3-month no trade period after signing.
I never had enough cap room to sign players with giant signing bonuses, then trade them. However, I never had a problem with those who did. And I don’t agree with this “not realistic” arguement. This isn’t reality, but it is a league with active GMs who all want to build a good team and all have different styles and approaches. It is just like any other sport or league - reality or fantasy.
Think baseball and arbitration or in the NBA where JJ Redick signs a 1-year lottery ticket. Weird shit happens and signings are made by way of a GM and how much they have to spend and how they are allowed to spend it.
In the real NFL, did the Browns eats a shitty contract for a 2nd round pick? Further, if you were an average player and were told that you would get $10 million guaranteed with $1 million base and we may trade you before the draft, would you care or would take the guaranteed $$$? Maybe the real NFL GMs should work like some of us?
I initially voted to keep the same because it is more realistic to have the same rules, but changing to support the group at large here - and comprismisng for 3 months vs a full year of no trading.
