Free Agents

Here's a suggestion for FA's:

Perform a Draft for all the FAs in order of reverse team rating:

#1: Lions (65)
#2: Rams (66)
#3: Kansas City (67)
#4: Browns (68)
#5: Bengals (69)
#6: Raiders (69)
#7: Broncos (70)
#8: Bucs (71)
...

We would exclude PC teams until after all the human teams got the FA's they want (multiple rounds). You may elect not to take a FA with your pick. And to make it more fair, the FAs are not tradable until Season 2. I like the no-trade rule for this sim league because in real life there is no way a team would sign a FA, just to trade them away. They might sign and trade an existing player, but not an FA.

This actually sounds like a really good idea, it just may be a tad difficult to actually organize and would take a long time.

I don't think it would be that hard, just create a FA thread on here and the first post would be the order and then each team would post their pick

Another reason why I think it would work is that there are only a few decent FAs:

Lvl 90+ = 1 (l.Neal FB)
Lvl 80+ = 7 (only 1 I would consider, but others may take these old guys)
Lvl 75+ = 14 (only 2 I would consider)

My example as the bucs is that if you let me take ALL the FAs I wanted, I would probably only sign 2-3, so my guess is that everyone would have their fill of FA's after about 2 rounds, and some teams would probably take less than that.

We'd have to have a time limit for FA picks because some guys aren't as
active as others, but it sounds like a good idea to me. Let's see what
Swag thinks.

nevermind, it looks like a free-for-all! I saw the saints owner snapped up C.McAlister right quick! I'm going to follow suit with the bucs, but if there is a Free agent plan, I would reverse my actions as long as others do, just let me know. I want to be fair about this, but I have a pretty crappy team, so I should get a couple right? No worries, later

Whoa whoa whoa!!!! It's only the Saints owner who has done anything, and Swag has/is going to talk to him about it. He couldn't create an account for this site for some reason but Swag knows him from a different site. He'll reverse all his changes or we'll do something about it. DON'T SIGN ANYMORE FAs!

ok, so now you tell me... I already did a few, should I reverse them or will commish?

I don't know if he can or not (I don't know the extent of his powers) but I'd suggest doing it yourself just to avoid any mistakes. I'll set up a draft later tonight when I get back from classes, probably around 5:30 PST/8:30 EST

Thanks slinger, much appreciated, but he's right I cant reverse FA signings.

ok done

Now the colts are signing people?

Oh dear lord. The Colts owner is even one of the members on this forum! Shit, I'll message Swag right now.

Shit man wow, tbh I would just turn FA signings off if I could. I'll try to message the owner when I get on later.

yeah, I don't want to be the FA police, but we need to get going on this, as with the other shitty teams, I would like to get my FA's signed before the first game...
