Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

This needs revamped in CDL. So, maybe if we find something here, we can use it there. It's only used on DT & K in CDL (too darn expensive). Avg the top 10 is better than top 4

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

I agree top 10 would probably work with a min of 10 or 20% increase over current salary.

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

I would love to see the franchise tag used somehow.

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

Yep, there definitely needs to be a minimum raise level. Also, is there a limit to how many times a player can be franchised? Or can a played be franchised perpetually?

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

Can be done perpetually...if the owner can afford it.

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

Yes, like in the NFL, I think there should be limit of only one Franchised player per team.

Salary would be the average of the top 10 players (including their current if the player in question is one of the top 10) OR 10% increase over current salary -- Whichever is GREATER

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

Sounds good to me. Top 10 avg or 10% increase, the greater of the 2. And one franchise per team. Why make it compicated?

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

May want to go with more than 10% (since in the Frenzy that is the standard raise. Maybe 15%.

Also, we should probably define what positions are grouped together. QB, RB, WR, TE, K, DL, LB and DB makes sense to me. I guess we want to make sure that safeties and corners stay in the same bucket.

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

I'm thinking a 20% minimum raise on the franchise tag (or the top 10 avg, whichever is higher). On say Shaun Alexander (with a 2500 cb contract), 20% would be 500 taking it to 3000.

Seems about right to me.
Safeties and CB's have already been defined as DB's in another thread.

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

OK I have to ask, since I haven't read the book of rules yet..what the heck does CB stand for?

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

Corner backs

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

that's what I thought.
or Cubic barometer

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

Either cyber bucks or cornerbacks based on the context.

BTW, when are the franchise values established? Is there a set date when we take the top 10 (or whatever) at each position and say this is the value? I am guessing the CDL has this defined and whatever they do will work here.

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

on april 1 after everyone gets their raise or is released.

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

so you're paying Alexander 2500 cornerbacks?:drinktoge

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

cyberbucks.... yah yah... don't shoot me. I didn't make it up.

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

As stated in Thread. This will be happening April 1st. Any one player per team can be franchised when in his final contract year. New salary will be the average of the top 10 salaries for his position (including his salary if applicable) OR a 20% salary increase - whichever is GREATER.
Poll at the top.

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

I like it.

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

This vote can close now.

We have 7.

Rami - you have mod rights close it.

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

Why bother? Let all the votes come in as they will. What matters is that the vote has passed.

I wouldn't bother closing it myself. We always enourage all the teams to vote regardless in the Frenzy usually.

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

now you tell me...I won't close any more...
serves me right for listening to Skippy...

Re: Re-evaluation for Franchising
 

DOH!
