    This year we will have waivers each week, based on worst record to best record. So from the beginning of the first game on Sunday to Tuesday evening at 10PMCDT, all pickups will be done by a waiver process. After that is complete on Tuesday adds/drops will be open for you to make any additional changes, up till 1 hour before the games that start that week (typically that will be Sunday morning at 10AMCDT).

    (The one issue we will need to work through is when there is Thursday games, since I can't adjust the site for those. In that scenario most likely we will have to say no one can pick up players from the teams that played until the waiver process has been completed that week. If you do, they will be dropped from your team.)

    Moe, the Franchise Player will be just added to your roster before the draft happens - not counted towards the actual round - basically allows you to have one keeper.

    I didn't see where the rules on the keeper were established.

    So we can just designate any player who was on our final roster last year as our keeper?

    Cool.

    So just to be clear, we can keep anybody this year and not be penalized by forfeiting the pick in which round that player was taken?

    Add the franchise player rules to the 1st post please. Also, I'm not happy with my draft position. Also, I don't remember who was on my team last year and I don't want to look because it was bad.

    Wait so we essentially just get an extra player? We don't lose the draft position from the previous year?

    Yeah cause I read the rules, just wanna make sure everyone's clear on what's up.... If we do forfeit I'll take Demaryius Thomas, I'm sure he was a free agency p/u...

    Oh yeah talk about value! :grin:

    When I traded McCoy last year it was stipulated in the deal that I retain any future rights.

    It might help if I had my email address under my team profile.

    As for franchising one player, I'll franchise Wes Welker from last season's squad.

    I think I prefer losing your pick if you choose to franchise lol. Unless I'm missing something, theoretically, whoever had Foster last year could retain him and luck-out by getting the 1st pick in this years draft and ultimately have Foster/Rice in the backfield? Or is it just the Aggie in me being stupid?

    I'm lost on the franchise players rules? Is it the round they were picked in, that's the round you lose a pick? I really have ZERO people I want to keep, but if you only lose the pick for the round you drafted them in, then I want to franchise Demarco Murray, RB, Dallas. 19th round pick.

    ONE DAY I would LIKE to pick before 8th. I always get ****ty drafting position. It's a tarp!

    I agree with Ziggy. I don't think it really is fair either.

    I think it makes it more competitive to lose a pick where the person you franchise was drafted in

    Murray isn't on your roster. After acquiring him off waivers last season, I dropped him into the free agent pool after his injury, where he currently remains.

    Yeah, you're right. I was just looking at the draft from last year. In this case I don't wanna franchise anyone. I wish this was just a re-do draft and start this franchise stuff next year.
