Starters
Al Atienza built a playoff contender. Batangas Balisong started with Antonio Brown, whom many say is the top wide receiver, at the 5th pick at fair value $56. Al then signed QB Matt Ryan for good value at $35. Only QB Aaron Rodgers outscored Matt Ryan in 2016. After signing go-to wideout Dez Bryant for $34, Al signed last year's top scoring defense Denver for a measly $16. Batangas Balisong should is at least a Top 4 team based on these quadruplets.Al spent $173 (or 86.5% of its $200 Salary Cap) on his starting lineup, which is seventh most in the league (right in the middle). Eighty to eighty-eight percent would seem to be the "sweet spot" in our league.
Defense & Special Teams: Al invested $22 on his two defenses. His starting defense, Denver, was the top defense in 2016; Kansas City was the sixth best defense last year. In 2017, Yahoo projects Denver and KC as the 8th and 7th best defenses. With the strength of its defense, Batangas Balisong should be the favorite to get the top seed.
No-Trade Clause: Antonio Brown, with a salary of $40 or more, cannot be traded for the duration of his contract.
Bench
Al signed running backs Ameer Abdullah ($8) and Eddie Lacy ($4), but the biggest impact should be the signing of the Kansas City Defense ($6).-->
Contract Years
Teams need to submit Contract Years (CY) for each of their players. I will extend the deadline to this Sunday September 10, 11 PM PST. If a team does not submit Contract Years for a player, that player receives the minimum 1-year contract.Previously, our league had maximum 5-year contracts. Starting this year, NYOFACE has maximum 2-year contracts. Players signed via FAAB during the regular season, by default, have 1-year contracts.
Owners can submit their CYs by replying to the post on his/her team.
2018 Free Agency
Players signed to 1-year contracts this year become Free Agents next offseason. These players can be signed in the last day of NYOFACE's Free Agency Signing Period -- our Auction Draft.
At the beginning of the offseason, each team can use the following to sign its free agents:
Here's a quick description of the NFL's use of the Franchise & Transition Tags.When a contract expires, whether it's an individual player or DST, the player/DST becomes a UFA (Unrestricted Free Agent) available in the upcoming Auction Draft. A team can only retain that UFA if it puts the Franchise or Transition Tag on that player/DST.
In the NFL, a Franchise/Transition Tag results in a 1-year contract, giving the team and the player's agent time to negotiate a long term deal. In NYOFACE, we build into our tag the team-agent negotiation and long-term deal. August 30, 2008
NYOFACE teams can use one each of the Non-Exclusive Franchise Tag, Exclusive Franchise Tag, and the Transition Tag. Below are the Franchise & Transition Tag salaries by position to be used for the 2018 Free Agency.
