Hey All,
The preseason is almost over and it's time to start thinking about rookie contracts.
1) Remember that we have increased the taxi squad to five players this year, so the first thing to do is decide which five players to place on that.
2) Any rookies not placed on the taxi squad will need a contract, so decide on the length of those. There's no cost for rookie contracts, but remember that what you decide is final and cannot be changed.
3) Make room to activate last year's IR players. The roster limit during the season is 45 active players, 5 taxi squad players and up to 5 IR players. I'll activate last year's and take requests for players who are already out for the coming season. So make sure you have the roster space and cap room to activate players who are no longer eligible for IR (or drop them of course).
4) Bidding on free agents will end on Wednesday, Sep. 8 at 7pm ET, the day before the opening game. Any ongoing bids at that time will be ended when the clock ticks over to 7pm, even if four clear days without a bid have not passed.
Let's make the deadline for this midnight ET on August 31. The final Week 3 preseason game is Sunday, Aug. 29, so you should have enough information to decide your rookie contracts. As we all know, nothing much happens in the final preseason game.
Thanks,
Steve
