PUP List

I definitely think this feature should be added next year, allowing us to put someone on the PUP list for the first 6 weeks.

This would allow GMs to carry an extra player for 6 weeks (if necessary), while waiting to get their player back off the list, much like a suspension works.

The only difference would be that PUP players would be paid just like IR guys.

Keep in mind that the PUP list in the NFL is only used BEFORE the first game of the year.

That is, you can't play someone 4 games, put them on the PUP, and then get them back in week 11.

Yeah, it's something we'd think about and put up for rules discussions (and sounds like a popular change) but I have a feeling a lot of the rules could change next year if they get an agreement and expand the seasons to where it really changes the injury rules and lists and eligibility since injuries would be a bigger factor to manage over a longer season and some concessions to the players as far as more flexibile injury list if playing more games.
