Alucard posted:Can't do Monday, need to set contracts and give some time between the drop to 24 and contract setting. I'll email tonight and let people know Friday is the deadline. It's already an arbitrary change to the rules. It should be decided on by the league. At the very least it should be the 24th. That provides plenty of time to handle free agency, etc.

Here is the reasoning: The original timeline with August 18 roster shrinkage was designed to give owners 1 week for free agent movement after the rosters decrease to 24, so that any players that may have been held can become eligible again after a large portion of drafted players get cut. After the roster shrinkage, contracts for players are set, with some period to allow me to tally and manually enter contract information (thus, a locking of player movement for 5 days) The free agency period before the start of the season is intended to allow a little over a week of player shifting and undrafted free agent movement prior to week one kickoff. The original timeline was working back the clock, one week at a time, to ensure that there was adequate time to make decisions and act on them given a few moving parts. My suggestion to move roster cuts to Friday changes nothing of the original schema or drafting strategy, and extending past Sunday provides, at best, an incentive to dawdle, and at worst, a penalty to those who cut earlier than the preseason game completion. Any time cut deeper into the roster cut period eats away at time in other stages of the schedule before the season start. I am happy to change the schedule, but bear in mind the reasoning behind the existing schedule when suggesting pushbacks for the sake of convenience or higher certainty in one's own roster, especially considering that there are dependencies in the rest of the pre-season timeline.

I understand that, and appreciate the explanation. However by far the most important part of this session is when players decide who to cut and assign contracts. At the very least there should be an equal opportunity for all teams to evaluate all of their players. Cutting things off on a Friday eliminates a significant portion of that evaluation. Personally I don't buy the argument that we concern ourselves with when cuts are made. If someone made a cut too soon that's on them. Of the periods discussed I feel free agency is the least important. We have already had ample opportunity to select players to check out before contracts. If it were up to me the schedule would be cutoffs due on midnight Monday after the third week of preseason. Contracts due on midnight Monday after the fourth week of preseason. And regular waivers starting either Wednesday Sept 9 or Monday Sept 7 depending on how much time you need for contracts. Thus the part that's reduced is the no lock FCFS portion originally scheduled to go for 11 days.

Personally I don't buy the argument that we concern ourselves with when cuts are made. If someone made a cut too soon that's on them. I'll say this, given my unique situation it is nice that I get to watch a BUF-CLE pre-season game tonight (Thursday) before deciding cuts. I would say it gives me a slight unfair advantage. Speaking of unfair advantages, would anyone like to move a 2016 FA pick for Josh Gordon? This way instead of whichever free agent you draft with that pick next year, you definitely get Josh Gordon. I'm not "ready for the next level" this year and I won't be next year, but maybe you are/will be?  ALL OFFERS ENTERTAINED

oldskool posted:I'll admit it: I have no idea how to assign contracts. How many guys did you draft in the FA draft? Divide that by 3. That is how many contracts you assign in 5, 3, or 1 year lengths. If you have 1 guy left over you get another 5 year contract. If you have 2 then you get an extra 5 and a 3 year contract. If you drafted 9 guys you get 3 5-year contracts, 3 3-year contracts, and 3 1-year contracts. If you drafted 8 guys then you get 3 5-year contracts, 3 3-year contracts, and 2 1-year contracts.

Not necessarily all the guys you draft, right?

You only get as many contracts as you have players on your 24-man squad that don't have a contract. We'll give you the "advantage" of the buffalo-cleveland game, as it is balanced by the fact that you are considering players from buffalo, and cleveland.

So with 7 picks, I'd have 3 5-year, 2 3-year and 2 1-year, right? ...where do I assign these things, and why is this league's site so unintuitive to me?

So I guess we're set on doing things by Friday? I'm really not a fan but if that's what the league feels is best then I guess that's what we do.

Well, you make good points (increasing information and decreasing injury risk is a perk), and so does Alucard (some time is required to make roster moves and manually set contracts, and the WW helps let people act on information and injuries already). Ultimately the commissioners set the rules, and he's done so in a way that is fair and clearly articulated. He's been very responsive to league input already this offseason (so it's probably good you provided some constructive feedback) so I'm satisfied that he gave your suggestion due consideration. The commish made a judgment and explained it, so I'm happy to roll with it - it's how I like things to go in the leagues I run too.

Sent out an email about the next steps, including contract setting and one last reshuffling of teams before the contracts get set. As I said, we should try to propose a reorg of the draft / contract / roster cuts for next year to accommodate the longer timeframe of the slow draft. Maybe push back everything by a week and only have a very short free agent acquisition before week 1?

Well news just came down that Jordy is out for the season. If you want him you'd be able to stash him on the IR for next year once he's declared inactive if you prefer Jordy as a franchise tag to Lynch or ARodg. Drop a line if that's something you'd want to pursue. edit: actually, this goes for everybody that likes Jordy as a franchize tag better than whatever they currently got.

Ajayi isn't out for the season, Alucard. He can still come back and make some contributions second half of the season if something happens to Miller (I got him in a different goon dynasty league).  Ridley got the same designation. I'd have him on IR right now if the rules post didn't say otherwise.

Ridley's on PUP (O), Ajayi was placed on IR designated to return (I) - The league should only allow those with an (I) designation to go on IR. I was unaware that the official IR status allowed for anything except for being out in the full season, but the key is the status designation, not the length of time.
