This may be a reloading year in Duluth. Our offense is looking decent, but our defense is not going to get us into the playoffs.

1. Philip Rivers is having a great year, and I've got skill position players even if I'm not deep. So I've got that going for me.
2. My oline is kind of beat up.
3. My cornerbacks are a mess. I can't keep anybody on the field.
4. Right now, my defense is a big blob of blah.

No Cooper?

SPchief · 10-15-2013, 11:39 PM

If you win a bid on a FA, how long is the contract for?

He'll be available after week 17, before the simulation season starts.

See the chart on your "Manage Roster" tab.

Mind if I ask the rule that he falls under? I have to assume there is one. Seems odd that Moses would be listed as a Chief and Cooper isn't. I know Moses isn't a rookie whereas Cooper is, but it seems an odd distinction.

It is a quirk from our data provider. They didn't have him listed on a week 1 roster. I'm pretty sure he was on the Chiefs roster, but as a matter of policy to keep labor manageable we aren't going to hand curate that data.

Good New and Bad News for League 1:

Good News:

1. A new batch of free agents are available! Week 8 free agents are now open for bidding. You can continue to bid on week 7 free agents as well.

2. New feature! You can put a check mark next to the free agents you are potentially interested in. This will be stored so you don't have to keep combing over the same list of guards, trying to remember which ones are worth bidding on. And, by checking the box "Hide unchecked free agents?" the unchecked free agents will disappear from your view. If you want to see them again, just uncheck the hide box.

Bad News.

I'm really sorry about this. In the process of trouble shooting the installation of the new code on our production site, I accidentally ran the code that resets the free agent list. So at the moment there are no active bids in free agency. I think players that were awarded won't show up in the free agent list again. Any players that have active bids were set to zero, and the bidding process will have to start over again.

IMPORTANT: If you were high bidder on a player post the player and the amount here, to the best of your recollection. Once the list stabilizes I will try to refund those salary points to the high bidder. We're on the honor system here. Hopefully someone can confirm most of what people post.

So sorry about this.

Players that were already won have stayed won (so I get to keep my spoils from the bloody bidding war over Ben Hartsock).

I made 3 $1 bids yesterday and that's all I can recall. I'm pretty sure I should be back at $75.

**AustinChief** · 10-22-2013, 01:43 PM

Last I checked I was high bidder on Anthony Sherman and DeAngelo Williams but not sure the amounts and also not sure that someone didn't overbid me, I last bid on Sunday. If I had to guess it was something like 16 for Sherman and 36 for Williams but that is a complete guess.

TambaBerry · 10-22-2013, 10:17 PM

So the free agents that were on our team last season. When the bid ends do we get a chance to sign them for more or do we have to bid on them?

You get a chance to retain them by bidding enough to get them to the next year of contract (or 10% more if it's a seven-year contract).

After the timer ends?

Yeah, you get 24 hours to match if I remember right.

If you have e-mail notifications on, I think you'll get an e-mail, but it's best to keep checking the site.

SPchief · 10-23-2013, 02:18 PM

I'm not getting E-mail notification when I get outbidded on a player. I go to the email notification screen to check if I have them turned on (It worked for the draft) and get an error message.
