That's a good start, but it doesn't account for players who actually suffer the effects of Covid and are out for an extended period/the year, or those who opt out.

The opt out is still a ? Extended injuries covid gets moved to the normal ir

I'm leaving Dalton on your roster because I need to input 25 players per team... you can release him once the rosters are entered.

Mr.TakesYourGurley cuts:
QB Ryan Finley
WR Ted Ginn Jr.
WR Adam Humphries

I've updated the rosters. @259 will need to make 6 cuts, @1218 will need to make 7 cuts (assuming he keeps the final pick in the 2020 draft), @11916 needs to make 4 cuts, @241 needs to make 1 cut, and @7602 needs to make 5 cuts.

Assuming everyone makes their cuts within the next day or two, I'll enter the rosters on Yahoo on Wednesday or Thursday.

Thank you! Once they're entered, will we be able to add players from the free agent pool if we choose?

Yeah, once they're entered I'll post here and people should have 24 hours to start using their FAAB money to acquire players on waivers. I think waivers will process a day after I enter the rosters.

I'm open to whatever... so if anyone has a particular opinion about it, I'll listen. I missed the original conversation however.

I think that for now, we should just monitor what the NFL is doing closely, and see what goes on with the players over the next three weeks or so. We're still about eight weeks from the regular season, so there's a lot of time between now and then, and I'm betting a whole lot goes down.

So far the proposal is to have a covid ir of 3 weeks and then either move players back to roster or long term ir. I think the big ? Is how do we handle players that don’t play this year. Do we have a special exemption spot or two tracked like future draft trades? I’m game for waiting until closer just wasn’t sure if thoughts of adding a spot needed to be had as rosters loaded.

For now, the deadline for players to opt out for the season is August 1. If that holds, why don't we revisit it then? If some of us have players who have chosen not to play, it would be unfair to those owners to require them to hold a roster spot for the whole year. My suggestion would be to treat those players like a future draft pick, removing them from the league for the year and then adding them back in for 2021. For now though, we don't know if any players will take that route.

I think the main issue is the limitation that most draft sites (including Yahoo) have with their IR slots.

Simply adding more IR slots would be an easy fix because I assume if one contracts Covid-19, they would be listed as OUT therefore eligible to be placed on IR. However that would mean you would have to pay close attention to your IR slots so you don't end up with an illegal line-up (i.e., you leave someone on IR who isn't listed as OUT after three weeks).

The other option is just to add additional roster spots with the caveat that it would go back to rosters of 25 in 2021.

Or if any of them will play based off of their Twitter campaign yesterday lol

Hey - zero preseason games. We are a step closer to football!!

So I'll enter the rosters in early August, hopefully by then we will have a clear idea of how the NFL season will look this year. Then we can finalize any additional roster spots or IR spots for 2020.

As of right now, what I'm leaning towards is an extra roster spot and an extra IR spot (26 roster slots, 4 IR slots). If more players opt out for the 2020 season than I anticipate, we can adjust accordingly.

This is only for 2020, we'll go back to normal for 2021 assuming Covid-19 has run its course.
