FREE AGENCY RULES

Free agency and player trading will commence on Saturday, January 28th 12:01 pm EST. FA officially ends @ 8:00 pm March 2nd. The draft will begin March 4th.

The top five URFAs from each team will enter the free agent pool. All other FAs will stay with their original team and you can treat these players just like anyone else under contract. You may also not put those guys on your depth chart if you want. RFA's will remain with the current team they are with, but can be traded away.

Franchise Tag: Each team will be able to franchise one of their free agents. This will cost nothing and won't count toward the cap. The deadline for designating a franchise tag will be 8:00pm EST on Friday, January 27th. Please post who you wish to franchise tag in the appropriate FA Offense or Defense thread.

Cap Space: At no time can your total outstanding bids be higher than the amount you have to spend! This is up to you and you only to keep track of. If you exceed your spending limit you will be penalized, your total cap space reduced by $10.

Acquiring Players: Players are signed 1 day (exactly 24 hours) from the time of the highest bid.

For example, if your high bid was posted on Sunday 1PM the player will officially be signed and added to your roster Monday 1PM so long as nobody outbids you during that 1 day.

If someone outbids you, then the day waiting period starts again from the time of their top bid. This 1 day waiting period may be reduced to 12 hours or less toward the end of the free agency period.

Home Team Advantages: Teams resiging their own free agents will have a couple advantages. First, they can simply match the top offer rather than having to outbid. Second, they will get a discount off the final price after the player is officially signed. The discount will be applied as followed:
Final bid: $3-$6 = $1 discount.
Final bid: $7-$10 = $2 discount.
Final bid: $11-$14 = $3 discount.
Final bid: $15+ = $4 discount.

If somebody is a FA and appears on either list please take them off our depth chart until you win the bid for that player. We will use http://walterfootbal...m/offseason.php. This site still have not put up all the teams FA so this will be updated.

Peyton Manning has been added since the Colts wanted to cut him. He did not get any extra cap space from cutting him. with that being said, if you have a big time player(pending FA) that you want to cut please pm me first.

Buffalo Bills franchise WR Stevie Johnson

[(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻]

Baltimore Ravens franchise RB Ray Rice.

[jramsey4]

And aren't both Nicks and Colston UFA. Your missing quite a few big names in that list. Here is a site with all upcoming UFAs. You can even filter for your teams. Let everybody (expect RFA's) be up for grabs on that list and use it as a reference.

What are we not using D's? And aren't both Nicks and Colston UFA. Your missing quite a few big names in that list. Here is a site with all upcoming UFAs. You can even filter for your teams. Let everybody (expect RFA's) be up for grabs on that list and use it as a reference.

http://www.spotrac.c...ree-agents/nfl/

The Browns franchise D'qwell Jackson LB (He is a URFA).

i know that, but we are using walter and he has yet to put up all the top FA from each team. there is a defensive thread for FAs you need to put who you plan on tagging in that thread.

[Bj-Monster23]

So when can we start to release players? Can we do it the 27 the day before free agency?

you are not really cutting a player, but you dont have to put them on your 53 man roster. who ever it is will not go into the FA pool,unless people say so.

[BigBeast52]

The Seahawks franchise RB Marshawn Lynch

[DaCityKats]

The pats franchise WR Wes Welker.

[CaliPanthers]

Carolina Panthers franchise TE Jeremy Shockey

[Kevin Greene]

[ZackAttack23]

So what is my team, the San Francisco 49ers, cap space?

[DaCityKats]

So what is my team, the San Francisco 49ers, cap space?

it will be posted tomorrow, didnt have time tonite to add up contracts

[Miaoww]

As I posted in the Defence section. You simply HAVE to count the franchise tag against the cap.

For example there's no way ANYONE would franchise a 32 year old Shockey.
