We can have 8 keepers?

Post by Agitator »

According to the league bylaws:

#
Keepers

1.
At the beginning of the NFL season, each team may "Freeze" a certain amount of players on their roster.
2.
The remaining players are returned to the general pool of players before Draft Day.
3.
Currently each team may freeze 7 players. amendment #1 amendment #2
4.
The Commish will decide and announce the Freeze Date.

doesn't this mean that the midgets have to drop a player before the draft and the high life has to pick one up.

in other leagues, the midget would have been forced to drop a player once the transaction went through.

has anyone ever had 8 keepers before? what do yall think?

To be honest, whats the difference in them doing it a week before the draft or waiting until draft day and then trading before the draft starts or while the draft is in progress. They originally got down to their 7 keepers, and then made the trade. Your really just spliting hairs when it comes down to it. The trade would have still happened and Midgets would have started the draft with 8 and the High Life with 6.

All teams freeze 7 players. What happens after the freeze deadline and before draft day has nothing to do with the amount of keepers. A team could trade all 7 keepers if they wanted to. It's not the same as the 25-player roster limitation.

I agree with the Hogg on this one. Either go by the rules or trash them it is that simple. The rest of us are penelized for not making a trade so I guess in theory I could have 14 players going into the draft if I acquired someones elses players before the draft. I dont think this is what The league had in mind when franching players idea came about.

Actually in theory I suppose you can make more than 1 traade so a roster could be complete before the draft.

Matter of fact for the right offer Ill let all my guys right now for the right offer,just to prove a point.

That's fine with me. As long the roster does not exceed the 25-man limit and all the trades aren't one-sided.

The point of the keeper deadline is to return a bunch of players back to the draft pool. The players that we keep aren't in the draft pool and they can be traded at will.

I don't know why this is suddenly an issue. It happens every year.

The hog is just trying to throw you off his cheating scandal, and the Guru just always wants to go against the Man, the Myth.

What difference does it make? This is not the first time this has happened boys. I also did it 2 years ago, but I guess you didn't care then because it happened right before the draft :confused: When it happens matters not, as the commish pointed out the purpose of the cutdown is to make players available for the draft. Sounds like the Guru is just jealous because no one will ever trade with him :bawling:
