Injured Reserve: Currently, we can put someone on IR if they are out in consecutive weeks or if they are put on IR by their team. Once placed on IR, they must remain there for the balance of the season. However, the NFL introduced something similar to Baseball's DL to where the player would go onto IR but could be brought off of it later in the season.
Proposal 1: We lose the consecutive week option and state a player can only go on IR if placed their by their NFL team. Proposal 2/3: Two options here. Do we force teams to promote players from their IR when the NFL takes the player off of IR or not?

COVID: Last season we allowed anyone that either opted out of the whole season or was out with COVID to not count against roster limits.
Proposal: Since we have a vaccination, I propose we ignore COVID.

Taxi Squad: Currently we can only promote one player (for sure) and potentially 2 players if a whole series of events happens in the right order. I propose we allow all 4 players to be promoted (but they can not be replaced on the Taxi Squad and can not be put back on it).

This league uses a home page layout that was retired years ago and as of 2019 is no longer supported. You can keep your home page layout as is, but you may not make any changes to the modules you have selected. If you wish to change your modules, you first need to convert your layout to the new model by clicking on this link. Note that this operation is not reversible.
OK to change?

Free Agency: Any desire to have the Board Bidding prior to the draft?

Draft Start Time: The NFL Draft ends on 5/1. I propose we start our draft on Saturday, May 15th. Mother's Day is the 9th, so we miss that and it's 2 more weeks until Memorial Day.

I think we should follow the NFL as far as IR. Move on from Covid, hopefully it's a non issue. Agree with the taxi squad call ups. Feel free to customize the homepage however you want IMO 15th works for me
Maybe consider letting playoff team pick up FA's and deciding what to do with the extra week now

My Votes IR => 2 Consecutive weeks out OR IR by NFL...I'm ok with being able to pull them back off of IR but that could get dicey on the commish end if a player is say out week 1, slated to be out week 2 so they are put on IR as soon as the player is declared out. Then in week 3 they are back so they come off of IR and back to active roster. That is a scenario where the NFL never declares a player on IR and we use it on our IR for an extra roster spot. The only thing I could think to deal with this is policing each other for abuse?
Move on from Covid. If your player goes out because of Covid, see IR rules
In 20+ years of this league, I've never seen a roster have enough talent on a Taxi squad to promote all 4, but if you want to, I think you should be able to (but agree they cannot be reused or go back on TS)
Home page, don't care
15th is fine
**********************************************************************
Not sure what ""Maybe consider letting playoff team pick up FA's and deciding what to do with the extra week now""" means. If extra week meaning week 18 now, then we need to discuss when playoffs start. Do they still start in 13 and end in 16 or do we go 14-17? Also, I highly vote NOT to let playoff teams have access to FA's. I've been on both sides of that divide and I felt it would be unfair as a playoff team to grab someone in Dynasty that another player couldnt, and BS that a playoff team could if I was out and couldn't. IF this was redraft it doesn't matter, but I don't think it's fair to allow playoff teams to have exclusive access to FA. *************************************************************************
Is this the FA schedule for this year? If not, we need to modify the league settings ""ADDITIONAL LEAGUE RULES SETUP""
1. From June 1-3, owners may open a thread for any Free Agent (rookies not drafted are considered Free Agents) and bid on that player. Minimum bid is $2. The bidding increment is $1. Bidding closes on that player after 24 hours have passed since the last bid. This Unrestricted Free Agency period may extend past June 3rd, but no new players may be bid upon after June 3rd. If the Rookie Draft has not ended by June 1st, then this period will be extended and will not start until 1 week has passed since the final pick of the Rookie Draft.
2. A second Unrestricted Free Agency period will run from July 8-10. Owners may open a thread for any Free Agent and bid on that player. Minimum bid is $2. The bidding increment is $1. Bidding closes on that player after 24 hours have passed since the last bid. This Unrestricted Free Agency period may extend past July 3rd, but no new players may be bid upon after July 3rd.
3. A third Unrestricted Free Agency period will start from August 1-19. All blind bids must be submitted by the 19th at 11:45 pm EST and the minimum bid is $1. The blind bid process for Free Agents will be conducted through the league’s MFL site. All blind bids will be processed on August 20th so that the FA pool will be set for the next FA period. Players that are dropped during the blind bidding period will be available to be picked up during the following FCFS period.
4. A fourth Unrestricted Free Agency period will be First Come First Serve on the message board from August 21-23. During FCFS, teams will claim a player on the FA thread and will be charged $2 per player. Players dropped during this FCFS period will not be eligible for FA until after the first week’s games were played in the season.
***************************************************************************************************************************************
I bought up the question in season and so these same "ADDITIONAL LEAGUE RULES SETUP" need to match. FCFS was always noon on Thursday, and now it's 8 AM. 8 AM is better for me but I'm on eastern time. I say we vote?

I’m general the rules of this league are immensely complicated. Why can’t free agency just be normal faab bidding or waivers Why can’t ir just simply be either players on ir or not have it at all Why limit to amount of people promoted from taxi squad if you can’t return them anyway
In general this league is very over complicated I remained in the league because as a comish of many leagues I know how difficult it is to find owners for orphans but honestly I find it to be very complex and not gaining any value from the complexity

Brees, no that is not going to be the FA schedule this year (what is in the rules). I'm proposing we come up with something we want and works well. We have time. FA won't start this year until the draft is over (which I assume will be late June).

Great idea flock….. why don’t we just do a normal type of week, the week before week one. Blind bids opened Wednesday at noon, first come first serve starts Thursday morning… The Thursday morning one week before the Thursday kick off of the season? Then you have to be to 40 by say Friday. That way we are all at 40, can have a week one free agency leading into kick off, and avoid summer action
All the summer free agent crap was done back in the day with him we didn’t have anything else to do but pay attention of crap like this all summer long.

Do we force teams to promote players from their IR when the NFL takes the player off of IR or not? Keep old rules. No promotion, if they come back to IR. If they have to come back, then we would have to cut players. I can guarantee that we would have people that wouldn’t remember to make the cuts and carry to many players. If you think they might come back, then dont move them down.
