I know that we haven't even begun the the 2011 season, but IMO it's never too early to start so here it goes:
1. Reduce the contract buyout from 10 blb to 5 blb. We only receive a 100 blb allotment in the first place so it costs 10% of the yearly allotment to reduce one contract year. I'm all for making teams have a penalty for cutting players, but I think we need to revisit this. I know in both TBL and TBL3 the cost is only 5 blb and it allows GMs to free up years when they need. Just like the NFL teams can get out of a player's contract with relative ease.
2. Eliminate the blb opportunities outside the fantasy season (NCAA, NFL Draft Challenge, etc..) and increase the annual allotment. While I enjoy (and usually perform well) in both of these challenges I think it hurts the overall competitiveness of the league and gives an unfair advantage to those that win outside of the TBL2 realm. I think giving each team a 200 blb stipend and eliminating the outside blb opportunities would increase competition.
3. Reduce the draft to 5 rounds. Personally, I think 5 rounds is a tad much, but with IDPs the argument can be made that we need 5 rounds. In a league with 16 teams 6 rounds is a lot.

Just a reminder that the use of the franchise or transition tags will not be permitted after the inaugural season of play.
This rule is in place to increase the quality of the RFA's available in 2012.

The Ho's announce the following contracts:
WR A.J. Green - 7 WR Greg Little - 6 WR Denarius Moore -5 QB Terrelle Pryor - 3 QB Brad Smith - 2
I'd like to buy down 2 years from DL Brandon Graham's contract at a cost of 20 blb total.
This should put us at 99 total years
Thanks

Each season you have 100 years to allocate to your players. If you sign player X to a 10 year deal this year. You have 90 left for this year to divide between the rest of your team.
At the end of the season each player's contract is reduced by one year. So player X that you signed to a 10 year deal now has 9 years left.
Does that make sense?
I copied and pasted all the wording on contract years out of the rulebook:
IV. Contracts and Contract Cap
4.1. General Information Players acquired either through the draft or free agency must be signed to a contract. This contract will be the number of years that the player can remain on your roster before becoming a RFA (free agent).
4.2. Contract Cap (total years available) Each franchise has a contract cap of 100 years. The total contract years remaining on the contracts of all players on a team's roster CANNOT exceed 100. 4.3. Contracts GMs must sign all players to a contract prior to being activated and available for TBL3 play. 4.3a. Signing players to Contracts There are three ways players receive their contracts: ENTRY DRAFT Players selected in TBL3 entry draft must have their initial contract announced PRIOR to the deadline announced by the TBL3 Commissioner sometime before the start of the regular season. If this deadline is not met by a team it will forfeit their rights to ALL players not assigned contracts and they will become UFA and available to be signed during the weekly waiver period. WAIVER WIRE Players acquired by the waiver wire are automatically signed to one (1) year contracts. RFA (Free Agency) Players obtained in RFA must have their contract announced within one (1) week from the end of the RFA session. If this deadline is not met by a team it will forfeit their rights to ALL players not assigned contracts and they will become UFA and available to be signed by another team. 4.4. Expired Contracts Contracts formally conclude on February 28. All players who had only one year remaining on their contracts become free agents and will be available in the RFA session held in April. Players have their contracts reduced by one year at this time.
EXAMPLE 1: Peyton Manning signed for five (5) years with the Team X in 2004; all five years count against the 100 year contract limit *in 2004* leaving 95 years to use on other players. On February 1, 2005, Manning's contract becomes a four-year contract and now counts only four years against the cap. Now Team X has 96 years to use on the rest of their roster.
EXAMPLE 2: The same team also signed Hines Ward to a one (1) year contract in 2004. On February 1, 2005, Ward's contract is reduced one year ... leaving zero (0) years on the contract. Ward just became a *restricted free agent* (see section VII below) IN AN EFFORT TO INCREASE THE POOL OF TALENT FOR THE FIRST RFA SESSION (2012) THE USE OF CONTRACT EXTENSIONS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED DURING THE FIRST SEASON OF PLAY
4.5 Contract Extensions There are THREE (3) different ways that a GM may elect to extend the contract of a player at a cost of 50 blb each. Each team may use any combination of TWO of the extension options once per season PRIOR to the end of the regular season (Week 17). They may extend a player's contract using the options listed below if they have the blb available to do so. 4.5a. General Contract Extension Teams may add 1 contract year to any ONE player that is on their team PRIOR to the end of the TBL3 season (Week 17) at a cost of (50 blb).
4.5b. Trade Extension Option Teams may add 1 contract year to a any ONE player acquired by TRADE. This must take place PRIOR to the end of the TBL3 season (Week 17) at a cost of (50 blb).
4.5c. Waiver Wire (FREE AGENT) Extension Option Teams may add 1 contract year to any ONE player acquired as a FREE AGENT. This must take place PRIOR to the end of the TBL3 season (Week 17) at a cost of (50 blb). 4.6b. Contract Buyouts Teams may buy out the years remaining on player contracts at a cost of (5 blb) per year. 4.6c. Contract Absolution (One-Week Window) Teams may drop players with only one year remaining on their current contract during the week prior to the start of the RFA session (deadline to be announced by TBL3 Commissioner) without paying the blb buyout fee. 4.7. Player Retirement Any player who goes into retirement, or declared retired by the league commissioner may not be drafted or acquired through any other means by a TBL3 team. If a retired player is currently placed on a team's active TBL3 roster, they may keep the player, but cannot place him on injured reserve or trade that player. If the team drops the player at any time, it may not re-acquire that player, nor may any other team. (If a player under contract retires, the team is NOT charged with a contract cap penalty so long as they release the player within a 48 hour window following the announcement of the retirement) This is considered the responsibility of the team's GM to notify the TBL3 Commissioner of their player's retirement.
4.8. Player Death Any active TBL3 player who passes away while under contract will be taken off the team's roster immediately and the team will NOT be charged with a blb buyout fee.

Not bad suggestions at all, but I'd suggest a little different tweak that we have in TBL and TBL3 and I really think is much more reasonable considering we only get a 100 blb allotment each year.
How about reducing the foxtrot buying out contracts to 5 blb per contract year?

Thanks Buddah. I totally rushed through them this week. Heck, I didn't even remember to have Condors over Argos in the regular bets and I used them in parlay. Not sure what I was thinking. I'm just glad that the double headers are over. It makes the Sportsbook a huge pain IMO.
