We went over this before, you cant just removr a bid and stick someone else with it. Im glad you matched my bid bc i dont wanna pay that much for garcon, and now ive moved on to laurent robinson. I dont have the cap for both so you are stuck with the bid.

Edit: For anyone reading this wanting clarity. He matched my $10 bid for garcon, then edited his post to say he removed the bid after I bid on laurent robinson.

Thought for a rule: If the highest bidder removes the bid, it then falls to the second highest bidder at the time of their bid. If the second highest bidder refuses then the player gets reset to 0 bids. Also as a penalty the two highest bidders are not allowed to bid again on the player.

This is crazy. Should just be no retracting bids, in my opinion. Most auction style systems don't allow retracting bids...it's too complicated and screws people over. Whatever the case is, we need an official ruling by dacitykats in public so there's no confusion.

I agree. Radiokiller did the right thing in the end tho, he offered to pay it if whoever else had the bid didn't want it. I don't think they should be any cancelling at all, maybe unless it is a player no one else has bid on. If we allow cancelling bids, then the rule should be what Radiokiller did.

just got back on, reading whats going on.

if the person with the 2nd bid still wants the player, then the top bid can be cancelled. But if they don't then the leading bid has to stick by their commitment. people have been taking bids back the entire time, in order to take a bid back you must first contact the 2nd highest bidder to see if that person is still interested. if they are the bid than goes back to what they placed before you made your bid. if they do not want the bid on that player anymore, than you have to stay committed to that bid. if you go over than you are SOL.

if you are not ready to get into a bidder war with guys than just stop bidding.

    • He has a heftier contract than you would think. I think the issue is that the Texans will want likely more than he is worth. They are in no great need of trading him.  I am fine with Mills as a bridge attempt, no issue with that. I just don't want to be seeing top 4 round draft picks headed out the door, even considering our lack of ability to capitalize on them.   
    • You're gonna mess around and hurt someones feelings 
    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.
