How about changing the minimum amount you have to bid depending on the time remaining?

That is kinda chicken shit if you wait until a hour left and then only up the bid one point, and would piss me off if it happened to me.

Shit or get off the pot.

Like I said, you don't get to slow play NFL free agents. Sooner or later they'll sign what they in hand.

NFL free agents can have an offer pulled on them. These bids are set unless you are outbid... that's a big reaSon a real player takes a deal while he can sometimes.

Just make the clocks invisible.

Introduces an element of the unknown, which is ever present in NFL FA.

And as we don't have the privilege of pulling an offer (or a truly 'motivated' player), the only way we can duplicate that result is by having an invisible clock.

rageeumr · 06-13-2013, 04:37 PM

I am ok with the current setup, but I'd probably prefer the hidden clock as well.

Hammock Parties · 06-13-2013, 04:38 PM

In a stunning trade, the Denver Broncos have acquired CJ Spiller from the Fort Wayne Dukes in exchange for Reggie Bush, Sam Acho and Kenny Britt.

Pepper your anguses. 2012 Sandbox Season BELONGS TO ME.

**Rain Man** · 06-13-2013, 04:41 PM

I feel no guilt at all for upping a bid, regardless of the amount or the time left. My job is to make my football team better, and a higher bid means more money for the free agent. It's a business, and if I don't win I don't have a job.

Man, I could've really used CJ Spiller.

Duluth signs free agent KR Joe McKnight and PR Darius Reynaud, and cuts FS Reggie Smith and FS Jim Leonhard.

MagicHef · 06-13-2013, 05:09 PM

Hey, I'd like to start doing this FA thing, too.

In the meantime, would someone mind posting my roster (Ball Busters)?

OK, you have the Ballbusters.

**noa** · 06-13-2013, 07:48 PM

Hate to say this, but I got the "there is no such team" error again when trying to propose a trade.
