Obviously, I think that we would all like to find someone to take over the vacant team. And its not like its a lousy roster, so if there's anyone who's interested, it shouldn't be a hard sell! However, if we aren't able to, then we're going to end up with a zombie team in the league again. If that's the case, what do you guys think of doing a contraction/dispersal draft for the players on that club, and then filling that roster with players who no one wants, rather than letting those players rot on a squad no one is controlling?
Well, what I was suggesting is that we keep the team, but fill the roster with guys that no one wants. To me, that's perferable to a wild card unmanned squad that might lose most weeks but knock a real team around now and then. If necessary, should we not find an owner, just make it a guaranteed win for everyone else. I did something similar in my own league a few years back after an owner bailed on me early on. As commish, I just didn't start anyone on that roster. The main problem with that though is that a couple of teams will face the zombie squad twice, while others just once, and thats unfair. No perfect answer if we don't get another member though. Perhaps give the teams who will only face the team once the first picks in a draft to disperse the players?
Not quite sure how that would work but I’m game for either. Would be hard to bring a 12th back in if we did that though, I would think.
Well, should we then find a 12th owner for 2019, then we could have an expansion draft of sorts, where we all expose X number of players to be selected, and then can pull another back when we lose one. And the new owner would have the first pick in the rookie draft, ect.
I think I’d sooner just let the commish run the team and prohibit trading between the commish owned team that one.
We should get to work on finding a new owner for Megagronk right now. I believe we've fairly easily found them in the past whenever there was an opening.
He's on GridironKing's team, and his other TE is the now retired Jason Witten. I happen to have Doyle on the block, just saying. Wonder if the Chargers bring back Gates now.
I may be interested if you guys have an opening. would like to know the basic info before joining. starter lineup? scoring? host site? free? cut roster before draft?
Roster cuts to 25 pre draft and you will need to cut players to accommodate picks.

The fantasy gods could wait till August before they bend me over, damn. I imagine we'll do the draft mid July like usual, aiming to wrap things up before the first pre-season game. If there's a strong preference to start the draft earlier, I'd be open to that.
Looking thru my inbox looks like I tried to join in 2014 but was too late I would like to join or throw my name in the hat for a spot.
Here's the team you'll be inheriting. You also have the 6th pick in the draft, plus an additional 3rd rounder (3.04). It's a 3 round rookie draft. Feel free to change the team name. On behalf of Boik and myself I'd like to say- we're glad you were too late in 2014.

I inherited him a year ago when I took over the team. Wasn't ever going to be in my top three, so I'm happy to get a 2nd back for him.
