SOLD to Scorpions

Re: RB Matt Forte NYJ - *** SOLD to Scorpions (275) ***
 

Unless I'm missing a cut or a trade, I'm showing that this acquisition puts Scorpions over the non-TE/K/DT active squad space. I'll be posting an update to the app tonight.

Re: RB Matt Forte NYJ - *** SOLD to Scorpions (275) ***
 

MFL shows Dale as 16 having QB/RB/WR's as well, 3 over the limit. :(

Re: RB Matt Forte NYJ - *** SOLD to Scorpions (275) ***
 

So too late for him to make cuts now?

Re: RB Matt Forte NYJ - *** SOLD to Scorpions (275) ***
 

Unfortunately yes, though I'd be open to a league vote to eliminate the difficult to keep track of rule, though it'd have to be unanimous.

Seeing as Dale is a longtime leaguemate, and helps a ton with the MFL site, I'd be open to discussing a less harsh penalty (maybe some cbs) but give him a one-time pass for the brainfart to make the appropriate cuts ASAP without losing the 3 players involved.

I'll message Jim to alert him to the issue and make a call.

Re: RB Matt Forte NYJ - *** SOLD to Scorpions (275) ***
 

I agree

Re: RB Matt Forte NYJ - *** SOLD to Scorpions (275) ***
 

Wow. well... the rules are pretty clear. If the league is willing to lessen the penalty, I'll give him 24 hours to get in compliance. We can work out a CB hit.

Re: RB Matt Forte NYJ - *** SOLD to Scorpions (275) ***
 

Think we might have support to eliminate the rule? Even if not unanimous we could still eliminate the rule for 2018.

The rule was added when we expanded rosters 2 slots and 500cbs well over a decade ago so teams had space to roster backup TEs/Ks & D's. TE's these days often merit WR salaries, and team budgets long ago adjusted to the extra 500cbs.

I know it keeps teams from stashing too many skill position players, but still would support eliminating it, heck often teams are carrying 3 or more TE's anyhow.

Re: RB Matt Forte NYJ - *** SOLD to Scorpions (275) ***
 

He still has West, McManus, and Denver on the board too...I'd have to look this rule up to see what it says, I have seen a few things on it, but only by luck have not broken it...

Re: RB Matt Forte NYJ - *** SOLD to Scorpions (275) ***
 

Maybe we consider 48 hours in off season to make corresponding moves?

Re: RB Matt Forte NYJ - *** SOLD to Scorpions (275) ***
 

48-hours makes sense.

Re: RB Matt Forte NYJ - *** SOLD to Scorpions (275) ***
 

I think I would be more for increasing the time to decide on cuts to match the bidding time

Re: RB Matt Forte NYJ - *** SOLD to Scorpions (275) ***
 

It should be noted that Dale texted me AFTER I mentioned being lenient that it's OK his fault and he's not looking for leniency.

Regardless I think the rule should be amended for 2018 personally.

Allowing 48-72 hours to get in compliance with roster limits during the off-season would be a separate vote. I'd support this idea as well.

The league is complex enough, let's not take all the fun out of it!

Re: RB Matt Forte NYJ - *** SOLD to Scorpions (275) ***
 

Agreed. Can someone post a poll to change to 48 hours (or 72) in off season instead of 24 hours? I'm sure we could get everyone in for a quick vote. I'd set it up if I weren't typing on my phone :)

Re: RB Matt Forte NYJ - *** SOLD to Scorpions (275) ***
 

My mistake, so no worries. I'll take penalties per the rules

Re: RB Matt Forte NYJ - *** SOLD to Scorpions (275) ***
 

Polls posted, even if not unanimous good rule changes for 2018 IMO so hoping for at least a majority for changing both rules.

Poll 1 - Eliminate the rule requiring 5 roster slots for TE/K/DT

Poll 2 - Extend off-season roster compliance period to 48/72 hours

Re: *ROSTER VIOLATION (RETURNED TO UFA)* RB Matt Forte, NYJ - * SOLD to Scorpions (27
 

Roster violation due to mandatory 5 slots reserved for TE/K/DT.

Forte returned to UFA status and roster penalties assessed.

Even if the resulting rule proposals pass unanimously, these penalties will still apply as they occurred prior to the proposals.

Re: *ROSTER VIOLATION (RETURNED TO UFA)* RB Matt Forte, NYJ - * SOLD to Scorpions (27
 

Those 3 moves will probably have numerous ripple effects on bidding.

Re: *ROSTER VIOLATION (RETURNED TO UFA)* RB Matt Forte, NYJ - * SOLD to Scorpions (27
 

Penalties have been applied as per rules, but yes, now he will be active in other bids as a result most likely. Is what it is.

Re: *ROSTER VIOLATION (RETURNED TO UFA)* RB Matt Forte, NYJ - * SOLD to Scorpions (27
 

NO...FOR SURE had effect on many bids and rosters...

Didn't impact the Preds! We took care of business early! :P
