So, what's the point in bidding on players and having a place your money tied up in the guy you want if the person who didn't resign him can just sign him after bidding ends.

Yeah, we might have to change that going forward, or put a limit on the number of matches or something. I agree that it's too easy to let your guy test the market and then just match the bid.

When you can only keep 2 players per year, and you have to slap 5 years on them... This more than makes up for it... You let them test the water to resign them for less than 5 years.
But maybe we can tag players as a restricted free agent (RFA) before Free Agency Starts allowing the original team the ability of keeping 3-5 players per year that you don't want to give 5 years to?

In planning how free agency would work, I wanted it to be easier to retain your own players while Rain Man was advocating putting owners in more hot-seat situations with greater player mobility (Rain Man, correct me if I am misstating your motivations). In the end, we landed in the middle. I have to say, I have really enjoyed this free agency period in the two leagues I'm playing in (Chiefs1 and Raiders1). There are plenty of players on the market (more so in Chiefs1) that can improve my team and I look forward to making my daily bids. I haven't yet lost a player I really wanted to retain, and have added some talent to my roster. I think I would be open to tweaking things to promote even greater player mobility (i.e., losing a player that I wanted to retain).
We're still trying to get the formula right. |

But, I mean, I added a HoF safety and top available outside CB for asswipe money and then traded my #4 receiver for the best 'backer in the game. And don't y'all worry about a bidding war in FA for him in a couple years because I've got that extension drawn up already. That Jayon Brown - Fred Warner - Jordyn Brooks LB corps (who I took with the pick I got from you - y'know, after I knocked your 15-1 team out of the playoffs) is gonna be hell on wheels for a loooooong time. But don't worry - I only have the best secondary and one of the best DLs in the league to boot. Y'all better hope that Kinlaw pick is as disappointing as I think it might be because if that guys even a slightly above average player, Yannick, Kinlaw, Kenny Clark and Myles Garrett are gonna be haunting your dreams for awhile...

I mean, who in here, didn't beat the Billy Goats last year??? lol
In Raiders I got to the Conf Championship in year 1, and to the bowl and lost in year 2.. here is hoping Rodgers can take me to the promise land with his MVP year. In our Chiefs I league... eff you guys. Its super competitive and hard. Losing to Corona in the payoffs stung.. but pretty sure i would have been destroyed by DJ in the next game.
