Just interested, did the expansion teams get to pick a player from each roster, like they do in the NFL? That would have been interesting. Each team gets to protect five players and the expansion teams get to each pick one player from each team, if they want.

Nah, it was a little worse for our guys. We cut our rosters from 40 players to 28. We then held the expansion draft for those 2 teams to get up to 28 players and then had the rookie draft that was 4 rounds. All together there are less players on rosters now than what we had last year (10 teamsX40 players) vs. (12X32). In order to get them up to speed a little quicker we did double their free agent money. My league bids on free agents instead of using a waiver, the original 10 teams got 1K, the expansion teams have 2K.

We will probably tweak some stuff next year and let them stay at a higher free agent budget, but one of the teams nearly won his game because he had Kevin Smith and RG3 playing..
