GM's,
As we make final preparations before K/O, here are a few important reminders...
First, for those who have not checked in, please do so here... dynastynflgm.proboards.com/thread/11347/final-2018-season-check
Second, there are quite a few teams that still need to meet our ACTIVE (excluding FA's, Taxi Squad and IR's) roster limits. Please take whatever steps are necessary to ensure your team falls within our guidelines. The pertinent Rules are briefly iterated in part below:
Roster Limits:
Active rosters are limited to 50 players maximum and 35 (active) players minimum (excluding Practice Squad and Injured Reserve). The limits are suspended each off-season to allow teams to draft, trade, and make roster moves in preparation for the upcoming season. All teams must be back within the roster limits by midnight the day after the NFL's final cut-down date. This is usually shortly after the final pre-season game and will be posted each pre-season.
Any team over the limit after the roster deadline will have players moved to the practice squad or waived. Every effort will be made to keep the best interests of the franchise in mind. Any team under the minimum will have placeholder "players" added at a salary of $500,000 for the current year. This placeholder will count towards the salary cap for the rest of the year unless waived at the standard 35% cap hit (assuming the team remains above the roster minimum).
Practice Squad:
The practice squad will consist of up to 5 players that have no more than 16 games of NFL playing experience. They will not count towards the 50 player active roster limit, but will count towards the salary cap. Once a practice squad player plays his 17th career game, he must be moved to the active roster or be waived.
Injured Reserve:
If a player is placed on Injured reserve (IR) in the NFL, he may be placed on IR in this league and not count towards the 50 player active roster limit. There is no limit to the number of IR players a team can have, but they all still count towards the salary cap...
Injured Reserve may also include players on NFL PUP (Physically Unable to Perform), or Suspended List...
As you can see, this is CRUNCH TIME! Please make the necessary trades, waivers, FA acquisition, and/or transfers (IR & PS) where needed. Also, please do not hesitate to submit questions or concerns...we're here to assist.
Regards,
THE COMMISSIONERS
