Free Agency Start Date

[Ben C.]

I prefer starting on a Monday because that's easier for me.

I would really like to see trading open for a few days before we start FA, though.

I agree - that's why I voted to push it back a week later than most.

If its possible I'm with Ben. That would be nice to have trading a couple days early

Why do you need trading open first? You can still work a deal now and then process it on opening day.

It can take time for people to accept deals. I'm currently over the cap in AFFL because I can't process the deals I've agreed to. If we don't have trades open for a few days ahead of FA, I could be stuck waiting for people to log in to click "accept" while I can't make any bids.

Agree 100%, we should see trading turned on here pretty soon IMHO.

I voted the 8th, but I'm really impartial, I can do any date.

I agree about having a window for trading before FA starts, but the 8th seems like a good day to start FA to me.

I was the lone vote for April 15 (going out of town the weekend of April 6). I changed my vote to April 8, because I really don't want to have it while I am gone.

So, if you don't care, if it is the 6th or the 8th - please go with the 8th - because I won't be able to make bids very easily on the weekend.

A trade window would be so much more helpful to a smooth FA period, no?
