It's not a "loop hole". Niv and his partners have talked about it on the podcast. It's intended to allow teams to recover FA money gradually so, for example, one huge injury doesn't necessarily kill you from a $ standpoint. Also, it encourages teams to recycle their players in the FA market and some end up getting picked up for that reason during the season. The 30 day period where you can't sign a player you cut acts as a penalty vs. the cutting team.

gives you more FA money down the road
-
yeah, joe, but you can whittle the penalty down that way
-
But Zips you can't pick up the same player for a month, right.
-
i thought it was one of those pick up a guy you cut just to cut down on the penalty - which to me is a dumb loophole in the rules.
-
People pick up players and then cut them .I'm in 7 leagues and this happens all the time.
-
I wanted him but once I got Carpenter I didn't have room. You can get him on waivers if you want.
-
stars - why did you pick up lopez only to cut him? i needed him......
-
Trade bloc updated, season lost for me. Unnamed players on roster will need an exceptional offer.
-
ill update it. made two deals so far
-
There is nothing on your trade block. Zips, Who is available ?
-
i appreciate all the offers, but cease is gonna stay.
-
worst start in zips history. i know this league and it will be TOUGH to climb back. let me know if you see anything. not tanking. will always be active, but the writing seems like its on the wall.....

-
I’ll do it, give me the tools…
-
Hey everyone, I wouldnt mind assigning a co-commissioner in case I get taken away from the draft. Do we have anyone interested?
-
Thanks. Looking forward to draft, I've got a lot of players to add.
-
Welcome to the new owner Ashburn Alley. BTW, I like the name. thanks for helping us out.
-
I think we got a veteran !!!
-
I added a lot nk to the team roster. Also posted notes in a couple of my other leagues.

Stars . I just posted on Community.
-
IMO, this is a case where we need an experience owner who has drafted a few times this year and knows the talent. I haven't been lucky at getting anyone to join my leagues this year. Star's do you know anyone.?
-
Unfortunately yes, due to an emergency that manager will not be able to participate. Fortunately the team is still paid for so can be claimed for free.
-
Did we just have a team drop out the day before the draft?

How long will this draft take? Just want to make sure that I allocate enough time.
-
I have another draft at 4 that day so I should just be finishing up with it around 6pm. Lets do this shit!!!

Yes, thanks.
-
It's works for me.I can draft to the finish. I have nothing after that.
-
I've updated the tentative draft date to Saturday April 2nd for 6pm EDT (4pm MDT, 3pm PDT). This can be for phase 1 of the draft and we can schedule a second weeknight after that for anyone who is not done. This work for everyone?
-
Based on not wanting to move it from 2:30 I asked my other league to move there's to 4pm. So if you can make it for 6pm EDT Saturday April 3 . I will make it work.
-
No. Earlier like 4 or 5 Eastern.
-
You mean 7 or 8 PM?
-
I think the 6pm Eastern would work better for April 2nd although I would like to inch it forward an hour or two if you can make that work.
-
I am working on moving some things around so I can be available for the draft. Is it possible to have the draft start am hour early at 1:30 eastern time?
-
This is an unusual year, as if the past 2 haven't been, so I have no problem splitting the draft in two days- mid week is fine with me after 5PM
-
theres not gonna be one day which works for everyone. besides, when a guy is up for auction, you have time to put in a bid. the only thing you would be missing if you arent available for part of the draft is putting a player up for grabs.
since this league has been going on for yrs, lets pick 1 date to start the draft like the 2nd sat in march at 2 e. my ff league has been together for 32 yrs. our draft is the sat of labor day every year. you make it or your team is picked for you
-
It's possible to do 2 drafts at once but it also increases the chances that both drafts will end up mediocre at best. I've managed to screw up a draft just doing one at a time, much less 2 at a time. Why don't we split it up and do 60 or 90 minutes on a weekday night that works for PS's schedule but, hopefully, isn't too late for JHD? There seem to be plenty of weekday nights available based on the comments below. Maybe 2 weekday nights & then April 2 if its needed?

I disagree, they aren't that slow that I can do two at a time. I won't do that. How about what I proposed about moving it back to 6 PM the same day.
-
If find these drafts quite slow. If that is the only hang up, you should be able to run both at the same time.
-
I have another league that already scheduled it's draft for Sat April 2 at 2 PM. I could do Sat April 2 at 6PM EST.
-
Paulo can't do that sunday, we may have to split an hour on saturday and an hour on sunday. There won't be a single date/time that works for everyone.
-
That date and time is good for me as well.
-
I can't do Sat April but I could do it Sunday April 3 at 2:30 EST.
-
Looking forward to it, thank you!
-
Draft date marked in my calendar.
-
Tentative draft date set for April 2nd at 1230pm MDT (230pm EDT and 1130am PDT)
