REMINDER

All players selected are now fair game.  If you didn't pick up your selection, any other team can "steal" (figuratively speaking).

CarltonMoneyBanks of the Indianapolis Colts picked up (an excess number of) Free Agents during the lockout period.  To dodge a full loss on cap, the best 5 players were released.

Loss of Round 2 selection in Free Agency draft.
Suspended for play during Week 9.

Yeah, I agree.

Reed went to Arizona like my boy Gronk so he knows how to party.  Bademosi got kicked off the team cause he can't play zone.  Kid just runs around like he's gettin' chased by a wasp or somethin'.

Violations/Punishment:

Pending severity, one or more of the following strikes may be engaged:

1) Player forfeit and one week suspension.
a. Those you picked up are to be immediately released and never returned to your roster.
2) The “Hoyer” Rule
a. You will pick up QB Brian Hoyer and play him for all snaps in the next game.  Once the week has ended, he is to be released.  I am NOT kidding about this.
3) Banned from FA for remainder of season with the exception player injury at a specific position.
a. For example, if a ROLB is injured, you may pick up a ROLB.

This proposal is subject to change.  I am welcome any and all feedback.

Rules:
1) Beginning Tuesday, 3/17 at 12:01 a.m. EST, Free Agents are not to be claimed.
a. If your roster is under the minimum of 47 players, you must message me for an exception.
b. For exceptions only, players must be a 72 OVR or below per DaddyLeagues.  If multiple positions are needed, 1 rookie must be selected.
c. Approved exceptions (pickups) are to posted using the format from Dukefanblue2005.

2) On draft day, each owner has precisely 1 hour to make his/her selection.  When your time has elapsed, a selection will be made automatically and we will advance to the next pick.
a. Brian Hoyer is OFF LIMITS.  I will get to this later (or you can cheat and skip to that part).
b. Your order of preference if established and sent to me.
c. Best Available OVR at a random position.

3) Once all Free Agents have been drafted, you have until the end of Week 1 to pick up ONLY your player(s).
a. In the event you will be absent during Week 1, you MUST set yourself to auto-pilot and text me accordingly.  Your pick(s) will be held for only 1 additional “week.”

4) In Week 2, ALL Free Agents “selected” and not claimed are fair-game.

Guidelines:
1) Send me a text message during Preseason 1-4 with several players you would like to select.
2) Notify me of absence or lack of availability.
3) If you are unsure of a selection and wish to keep the board moving, pass.
4) If you switched teams or joined mid-season, send me a text of when this occurred.
a. I will only adjust the Round 2 pick in your favor if I can verify that your W-L record is reflective of such.

This is NotSoInvincible, your Free Agency commissioner.   Please review my proposal for the Free Agency Draft, which will begin on Saturday, March 21.

I have allowed pre-selection to speed up the process.  As players have been pre-selected, the Dolphins are “on-the-clock” at 9 a.m. EST.

Order:
1st Round is determined exclusively by Team Record from Season 1, sorted by lowest to highest.  The team with the worst record will pick first, followed by the remaining teams in said order.

2nd Round is set by User Record and History.  The selection order is based upon winning percentage since joining the league, lowest to highest.  This avoids the consequence (better or worse) of team switching from Season 1.  A .500 record will be used in place of any user who has not played a game.

History only affects owners are under any rule violation from Offseason 1 to current.  If you meet said requirement, you forfeit a pick in this round.

Browns trade:
ROLB Barkevious Mingo 24 years old 78 OVR $3.82M Cap Penalty
http://daddyleagues.com/emc123/player/2180941

Steelers trade:
WR Martavis Bryant 23 years old 77 OVR $620K Cap Penalty
http://daddyleagues.com/emc123/player/2182537

Miles Austin had a party foul last night so I told him to take a hike.  Lookin' for a replacement in Bryant.  Heard the kid is an ace in Beer Pong.

Mingo gives much needed OLB depth to the Steelers.  Both teams run 3-4 so the transition is seamless.

P.S. I agree to the Terms and Conditions.

**Updated for end of Season 1.**
