RFA period transition tagged players discussion

[Rebels GM]

I would like to open this up for discussion to see what all the GM's think about how we should proceed with the transition tagged players. As with the last RFA period and possibly due to my own mistake there was some confusion and I would like to clear that up for future RFA periods with a written rule. Please let me know what your feeling is on being able to bid on transition tagged players the final week of RFA also, list your pros and cons with as well.

I think it would add another element to the strategy aspect of bidding. The down side is most transition tagged players would go for big blb and as we see in the NFL with free agency big money players sign first and then teams fill in their needs with cheaper free agents and this would be tough to do if you are not sure who you are getting to keep.

I like keeping the bidding on tagged players to the first week of RFA. That being said, if a majority of owners want to see it changed then I am ok with that too. Its certainly not a rule change that will affect my participation in this league. I think knowing in the first week of RFA if you will be retaining your tagged players allows you to better plan for the rest of the session as well as for the draft.

I was hoping to see more interest in this matter. So far since you are the only GM to show any interest then your opinion is what we will go with. If no other GM speaks up by the weekend then I will add this into the rules to avoid any more confusion.

I have to agree with beantown. I like it the way it is but would probably not fight it if the majority of the league thought otherwise.

I do think that the -25 pts for an extra point miss is a little extreme now. Maybe making it the same as a missed FG is more appropriate.

Thank you for the feedback Suh and it looks like I will close this thread under the conclusion of making transition tagged players only available for the 1st week of the RFA period.

Also we are currently voting on the point deduction for extra points.
