Current FA Rule

You can pickup anyone below a 70 beginning midnight tonight.

Anyone above a 70 can be picked up if your team picks them up in real life (ie. 49ers signing Westbrook).

I like the FA draft idea

I like it as well but I think we should have to list the positions we want and you just select the highest rated player at that position for us. So it wont take 2 days to do and we can start faster.

in that case the bills were high up in the draft and i need a qb

Well the only problem is we do not know who is in FA and what their ratings are. Maybe King can help us out with that.

well have to account for players that signed after the before the release like OJ and other as well.

I like FA based on injury.

Also could we possibly have the option of dropping a player on our team and picking up another player in FA with the same position and overall rating no higher than the player we dropped.

The free agency draft just sounds like a better option to me. Let everyone get 1 guy then move to FA based on injury. Theres going to be some good guys in FA, and if my 60 RB gets hurt then I pretty much just lucked into a big upgrade to Brian Westbrook, if we start based of injury.

Look what I wrote. If a player gets hurt you can pick up someone within 5 overall points at the same position as that person.

thats ok, but I still like the draft idea better. At least it gives the weaker teams to have a slight chance to fill a big hole that the bigger teams cannot. It's not going to even the gap, but it will help.

Absolutely agreed. If we do it based on the real life draft order for this season, it helps make teams like the Rams/Lions/Bucs a little less bad and gives teams like the Colts/Saints just a sliiiight disadvantage.

People are going to hate me for this, but I believe it should be 3 overall points instead of 5.

ID SAY WAIT TILL ROKKIE DRAFT BUT IF WE DO GO BY TEAM RATINGS WORST TO BEST

I have to say that I agree with the injury policy. It's similar to what we did before and it worked. I know, I know... It's easier for me to say because I have a better team but it's just mire realistic. A lot of people had their choice of teams too (I know not everyone). And also, who is to determine what the best teams are now? After the million trades that have gone down. Some teams are completely different. (I know that the trades are supposed to be 'even' but some were iffy). It does help the real bad teams... But this way is less complicated, fair, and kind of what really goes on.

Right, I'm not gonna go around and look who signs who, but if you know of someone that should be on your team you can sign them.

And yea, if I ever say a time and don't list the timezone then it is always EST.
