    UNDRAFTED FREE AGENCY
    For undrafted free agency, the same rules apply as street free agency and unrestricted free agency. Teams have a maximum of five active bids and a player must go a full 24 hours without their current offer being raised. The minimum salary offer for an undrafted free agent is $405,000.00.

    PRACTICE SQUAD
    Teams are eligible to have a five man practice squad. This will not begin until after the 53 man rosters are frozen. Beginning on April 19, teams will be required to submit a silent offer to GridIronKing34 for two players they'd like on their practice squad by 10:00PM EST. Around 11:00PM EST, GridIronKing34 will announce what players have signed with what team. If a player receives an offer from one team, they will automatically sign. If a player receives two or more offers from teams, they will sign via list randomizer. The process will reset itself the next day so a team should have an opportunity to send out 12 offers total unless they complete their practice squad sooner. The amount of offers a team can send out each day may increase in the last two or three days.

    Teams are not required to add a practice squad to their roster but it is recommended. Below are the requirements to be eligible for the practice squad. Players must meet at least one of these requirements.

    • Have no prior Accrued Seasons in the NFL (An accrued season is six or more games on the active roster)
    • Have one prior Accrued Season in which the player was on the 45-man active roster for no more than 8 games
    • If served two seasons on a practice squad, are eligible for a third season only if the team has at least 53 players on its active/inactive list for the duration of that player's employment.

    FINAL ROSTERS
    Teams are required to submit their final rosters with a depth chart. Write-ups are optional. Further information will be provided once rosters are completely frozen.

    VOTING
    Each team has one vote (co-GMs cannot each vote) to keep things balanced. More information will be posted about the voting system in early May.

    Why have the roster frozen on the 18th when Final Rosters arent due til May 3rd? Doesnt make sense. Most people arent going to do much between then anyway but if they want to they should imo...

    Because people will just sign guys that go sooner if they went UDFA.

    At least thats why I'd freeze the rosters.

    I believe that was the reasoning when we chatted about it.
