So I know I haven’t been in the league a week yet but I’ll chime in:monkeybones wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 10:59 am Here is the original rule change suggestion thread: viewtopic.php?f=152&t=145165
I know we need another owner but I'd like to at least start the discussion with the following items:
1. Prohibit conditional trades - Each trade should be posted and completed when the trade is finalized. No team should "owe" another team anything at any point. Trades should be done and over with once they are approved and confirmed.
2. Change contract years structure to resemble more closely to that of the nfl. No player in UFA is going to sign a 6 year minimum salary deal so I suggest something as follows:
contract value of $1000 per year or less will be allowed a max of 2 years of control.
contract value of $1001-$5000 per year will be given a max of 3 years of control.
contract value of $5001-$10000 per year will be given a max of 4 years of control.
contract value of $10001+ per year will be given a max of 5 years of control.
This would also cap the max years given to 5 years instead of the current 6.
3. Use the FT at face value for 1 year
Use the FT as a 2 year contract extension at an increase of 4% over the FT value for that position.
Use the FT as a 3 year contract extension at an increase of 7% over the FT value of that position.
Limit of the extensions would be 3 years total for a Franchise Tag player.
4. Awarding comp picks for FA's lost during the FA period.
5. When should the DS designation be for players who are already on the DS and for those drafted in the current season?
6. Contract Renegotiations should have a year cap on them to what the player had or less.
7. Adding an "Inactive" designation instead of an IR slot.
8. Eliminate a FLEX starting position and replacing it with a RB and WR.
This one isn't a rule change but a process change for the commissioner. I like it and will try to do this when a bidding thread is done.
When a players UFA is complete the name of the post should be changed (if possible), just adding an "x" or "z" in front of it would eliminate a lot of opening and closing of posts.
1) I like the option of conditional trades but understand not wanting to be responsible for enforcing them. If the players want to take on that responsibility I see no problem with it.
2) limiting max years to 5 makes sense but I don’t like the limit based off salary. The best part of fantasy is finding a steal and getting to pay him way less than he’s worth because you found him first.
3) FT should be 1 year only no matter what
4) I tried to push for this a few years back in KFFL but was the only one to really get behind it. To me, I think if you base it on where that player finished the year at performance wise it’s an easy thing to manage. For example, if you let the #1 RB last year walk for nothing maybe you get a comp 1st at the end of the round. If you let the #2-3 RB walk you get a 2nd. If you let #4-5 you get a 3. Just an example, but doesn’t seem to complicated to me. You use the rankings based on total points scored from the season. Just a thought.
5) I haven’t had a shot to use the DS so I don’t really have an opinion either way
6) I don’t think renegotiations should be limited to 1 year. Players extend their contracts all the time.
7) I’d prefer inactive.
8) I like flex and the strategy that can go into your lineup each week with it.
