You realize, Shark, that I'm a 50 year old man that won't be sucked in by a Spanish stalker trying to harass every post I make. It's just silly, and maybe you need to grow up.

My girlfriend says the same and I'm trying man, but believe me it's hard to grow when a 50 year old man says obvious things, and feels harassed for an opinion when it was just a personal opinion.
But ey you can still hatting spanish people I don't mind, I will still posting whatever I want without causing harm on anyone or being disrespectful.

You might want to try not to feel the center of my universe, because you are not.

Peace and love!

Aston. The cabin fever is setting in.

PLEASE restart the draft before these two burn this bitch down.

Where is the bitch??? :)

I'm definitely not opposed to placing restrictions on the franchise tag. We've kept it so far because people have largely liked having the option.

I was going to say I don't do this personally, but I just remembered that I forgot about that this year and tagged a safety. Going to have to go void that tag now :-)

I know there are leagues out there that skip that sim entirely, which also appeals to me a little because it gets us to the draft quicker. The only other thing to do is tickets. So if someone can tell me how a commish would handle auto-ing the tickets for everybody, I'd definitely say that's at least an interesting idea.

I'm down for no franchise tag, starting in 2041 offseason for obvious reasons. Not because of what I have planned, but because of how differently I would have done it had I known I couldn't later on.

My guess is Ben either manually Rexxes everyone's ticket stage or he has a script that does it for him.

[Aston]

Oh, definitely. Nothing retroactive.

Gah! I was afraid it was going to be something like a proprietary script.

You like how I said the same thing in two different ways?

My views are that the franchise tag should stay. What about the players that want to use it without abusing it?

There are leagues that have the franchise tag but bring in other rules such as 2 year minimum deals through FA 2-12.

We did have a 3 yr+ rule, but dropped it in favor of no rules plus the franchise tag. At the time the tag wasn't being abused the way it is today.

No sign and tag is probably a better rule than a 2 yr minimum and has the same effect as Aston wouldn't have to worry about it all FA long.

That seems fair. At the end of the day, you want it to be as fair as possible, although you will always get loopholes and exploits.

Also, you need it to be trouble free for the commisioner to police

My take:

I think that Kalispel will regret this signing.

I haven't used the franchise tag very often in FOF7, but I believe that the player will ask for a contract close where the 1st year is around 90% of his franchise tag value. Correct me if I am wrong, but won't the franchise tag value be 45 * 1.2 = $54 million. That means his asking price for year one will be around $48 million and escalating each year after that.

Most of the top LT's in the league make around $20 million per season. I think the vast overpay of $45 million makes him un-tradable, and impossible to franchise tag and re-sign.

I don't think we need to make any rules regarding the franchise tag. I think that salary demands in FOF7 make it impossible to game the system.
