I think we should move the trade date up to this weekend, tomorrow to be more precise. We have a good handle on the draft picks based on that previous site and GIK if you need help with the ordering, let me know as you know I'm a draft order geek... Sure the last two teams haven't been decided, but the difference certainly isn't earth shattering.
rosters are set, we know the cap... the draft picks are 99% known... (we can figure out the rest and I can help if need be)... lets light this candle!
should we move up free agency? Don't really like the idea of starting it on a Monday anyway... I say bump it to the 24th or the 26th... thoughts?
Dont mind free agency starting in march because it takes us closer to the real season with something to do
no... no you couldn't.. well you could yes.. but no... i'm bored... nobody is making any trades, they want to see what happens in free agency, lets fire this thing up. I mean the official trade thread has become a mockery... trading unlucky... cmon now...
the main problem is inactivity. I have to say the GM league was bumpin for the first week. Then it got warm when trades could happen now its almost non existent with maybe 9 GM's active? Now it will probably pick up once FA hit but I wouldn't mind moving it up.
I could understand if GIK wanted the free agency signing period to coincide with the real NFL, yet that starts on Mar 5th.. this is slated to start on Mar 1st. And GIK did say in his own words ("Date changes are possible if things begin to run quicker than anticipated") ... thanks to you BK, we have the FA list... and GIK is out picking corn again...
Yeah all the cuts should be up tomorrow so everything should be set. Hell I might even sift through the OL, DL, LB, and DB's.
Well some of us have been busy and have not had a chance to make cuts and what not. Just sayin' Plus, you guys are vets in this thing, you know this happens every year, it was just exasperated this year because A LOT of trades were made before trading actually started. Just hang in there everyone, we will be at FA before we know it.
If Stitches were president creating a topic in the wrong forum would be a year in jail! So we knew already not to vote for him
Probably will... Over my spring break while I'm at work I'll get things prepared. Expect some sort of announcement sometime this week.
Btw I don't know when it will happen but I might lose internet possibly next month just a maybe throwing it out there.
Damnit! So we won't get to see your reaction when the player you covet is drafted just before your pick???
