So with FA1 approaching the hell are we doing ; lol

Yeah Brad, official statement?

Seems like status quo with the close votes. We don't have an official policy but rule changes should probably need more universal agreement. But I am OK with whatever the commish decides.

An official announcement from the league office will happen in the near future.

well with the votes the way they were things should stay the same this season and then starting next off season the new rules if any should be observed


again i wholly disagree with the 3 year


again ill say the grey sheet rule makes things harder and arent we play MP to make the game harder?

in reality no 6th or 7th year player is gonna sign a 3 year deal they want long term security they want that big LONG TERM contract. and the grey sheet observes that. even if were not talkign reality then the fact that the 4 or 5 year deal you sign has so many risks as opposed to a shoert 3 year deal.

look at columbus and russell shanks ben signed him for 5 years at $10 mil a year. and he was concussed after year 1. granted it was bens team so no real harm done but 10 mil of dead cap space for 4 years makes you make intresting choices.


and even without ben at the helm columbus was ok

good point more than a simple majority would be nice altho i think the FA rule will prbably have the votes to change

grey sheet rule -- only makes it more of a PITA for everyone ---

three year rule --- easy for everyone...

To me, the 3 year rule makes it easier on the commish. There's not really a benefit to the GM's. To be quite honest, players who want long term contracts are my FAVORITE!! I wish ALL my players requested 6 year offers.

The reneg rule on the other hand is a rule that is double sided. Teams can get themselves into SERIOUS multi-year trouble if misused.

You're gonna bruise that horse if you keep beating it! :)

tack on an additional 1st this year, a 1st next year, a 1st two years from now, and that 3rd, and I'd say we have a deal.
