Yes. I'll probably default to what the real NFL teams did for that too since this is so quick compared to our usual off-season in March/April/May but will also allow teams to change those defaults from what their real team did either once the roster pages are up and having a control to do it there or by PM'ing me before we start free agency.

For those who are new, we also have two Transition tags per team and those are a little bit different from NFL but essentially just allow you to match any offer for those star players who have to get top 10 salaries at their position (top 5 for franchise tags plus bidding team needs to be willing to give up 2 first rounders also if offer-sheet not matched).

So you can designate 1 franchise and 2 transition tagged players to have matching rights, but it would be not advised to tag unworthy players as those tagged players will get big star top 10 caliber contracts either way for next year whether through an offer-sheet bidded by another team or the default contract for a tagged player at that position. Transition tags aren't as important to name as things are now because with unlimited bidding for your own players you essentially can match any bid through that already if you have the cap space and willing to pay the price on the open market for your free agents.

when are we looking at having this thing up and running? are we close yet?

[Goodell]

The rosters and free agents are up... but still checking some of the contract finances and getting things to line up... so you can look at your roster and let me know if you notice any problems with who is there or status. I'll put the contract details and cap space and draft picks back in there on Sunday after some re-checking. Thanks

Use the pull-down to change to your team.

You can also get most information as we are trying to recreate here:

Just FYI... I have a stomach bug or something (my wife was out yesterday with it and fever yesterday) and am really dragging today... sorry but should have more later tonight. I think we are at (or close to) 32, but if anybody else wants to sign up that's great because you never know which stick or not. Thanks for patience. Most of the info to get a feel for your team's position posted in links above.

Back in the swing of things a bit now. A private section on the forum has been created for DFFL now for GMs with a team in that league to move discussions there specifically.

I have put up the initial financial information but could change a bit tomorrow as I look them over and have teams look over those also. We aren't ready for GMs to make any cuts or trades or anything just yet.

I think we can get free agency started Wednesday at noon ET. I've put in the franchise tagged players by default, if you want a different decision than your real team PM me for now. I'll post more info on that tomorrow for the new players.
