Of the players you listed, none of them returned more than 9 punts or kicks the entire year, so they're NFL team didn't exactly view them as difference makers in the return game. So the program basically determined that they were examples of "any old joe" and put one of them back there (unnamed) to return the kick/punt. |

So Matt Dodge actually is "free agent".

Well I think I figured out the Sherels thing. He is showing as unavailable for week 1, even though every resource I can find lists him as active for all 16 games.
I guess we'll see if he returns kicks next week. |

Players with pending bids on them will eventually be awarded to the last bidding teams (when the clock runs out). I didn't have time to program a more graceful way of ending free agency. |

One of the reason that trades are not allowed mid-season. Sure it could be programmed, but it's just a whole lot less complicated to freeze rosters. |

Does this mean in a day or two the guy I had a bid on will show up on my roster?

Cool. That doesn't jack with your simulations? The guy was a backup anyway.
Are you planning on including some kind of "special teams coverage" code in the future that analyzes backup players? I'm guessing right now the only thing that determines the outcome of special teams play is the quality of punters/kickers vs returners.

But it would certainly make things more interesting.

Don't know if it's a bug or not, but when I go to defensive gameplan the "safety in the box" togged switch keeps changing back to yes.
I want it set to no.

Well that sucks, I went off the availability listed on your site... so i assumed he was good to play all 16.. he's listed as available for every week.
Edit: Here is a perfect example of why FA should be allowed during the season. Now I'm stuck the entire year without a punter for game day, yet a wasted spot on my roster (and a wasted 3-yr contract)
