No, the FAs will enter the market in groups over time. Each one will stay a FA until no one outbids the high bid for a couple of days, when that happens, the FA moves to the winner's roster. So one FA COULD be on market for that long if the bidding is slow, but doesn't ever stop long enough for someone to win, but I doubt any of them go that long.

You don't wait all 16 weeks. Here's a description of the system.

The only change to this writeup is that the rosters won't be unlimited during Phase 1 of free agency. We realized that someone could bid $1 on a ton of players and have a 400-player training camp roster. Most likely, we'll have a 75-player limit in Phase 1.

Two reasons.

First, it's a pure business thing. We want to keep people engaged year-round, albeit at a low level that doesn't compete with fantasy football.

Second, it's kind of good for game reasons. On your current roster you'll have injuries, and you'll have people who are having a terrible season or a great season. By feeding players into the pool over time, it will let people build their "training camp" roster with the opportunity to speculate on free agents early and get injury fill-ins without having to wait 16 weeks. You can almost think of the NFL season as the Sandbox training camp, where you get the players in and some get injured and you realize that others have lost a step.

On the second note, perhaps some feedback would be good. We were debating about feeding players into the pool on a weekly basis (current plan) or a quarterly basis. A quarterly basis would require less ongoing monitoring by players, because they would get a fresh batch of free agents after Week 4, 8, 12, and 17. We'd obviously like more engagement, but at the same time we don't want to compete with fantasy football.

Would people prefer weekly feeds of the free agent pool or quarterly feeds?

How many FAs are you talking about entering at a time? The volume of work would influence my answer.
