Linebacker Tier Criteria - specifically sacks.
Maybe this doesn't matter too much but I find it a bit funky the way sacks are a key criteria up to Solid Performer and then go away until Ultra Elite, instead of continuing to scale up gradually. The outcome is sack heavy LBs, like a Von Miller, who might never dabble in the tackle numbers to flirt with the Team Anchor, Pro Bowler and Elite categories, will jump back and forth 4 tiers each year depending on whether they break the 15 sack barrier or not.
Now we've got rid of the massive reductions in salary for big tier drops it's not so important because players won't become steals just because they get 14.5 sacks but I still think it's a little funky.
So proposal would be to include sack levels in the 11-14 range through those three tiers, maybe with some increases in tackles or something.
P.S. I appreciate that I am looking to eliminate something after I benefited from it (since I own Miller), but in my defense I traded for him after his salary dropped. So really it was Omaha that got the benefit, which he then chose to trade away...anyway point still stands

Limit the number of kickers on a team. Prevents a situation where there a is scarcity for scarcity sake.

Yeah that's the problem with all 1 starter per team positions is that we would have to limit all of them and I am definitely not going to do that with QBs....kickers I would let a discussion be heard but honestly have no problem scrounging for a kicker.

The roster limit issue is difficult, I'm generally against them though. I know Chance told me before, but I can't remember the argument for keeping limits on coaches to be honest.

because I felt like they were less and more critical at the same time. There are only so many coaches were as kickers get injured, replaced etc throughout the year thus there can be some found on waivers were as coaches not so much.

kickers are a semi fluid situation. in this league i have less of a problem letting someone get 3-4 kickers. the roster spots are so vital (to me anyways) that if someone wants to roster an extra 1-2 kickers (to gain picks or w/e) instead of a backup lb or te... then so be it.

Inspired by San Fran's comments on linebacker tiers, could we perhaps calculate the player tiers based on a combination of how many points they score / their total points ranking?

Joe, I'll consider it but this has been brought up before and I prefer the stats method.

If a rookie is "won at auction" i.e. signed as a free agent, for the minimum salary of $500k after our rookie draft, but before the beginning of the season (or preseason, or some sensible cut off), i.e. they are the Legion 2 equivalent of a UDFA, their practice squad steal cost should be the same as if they were a 6th round pick, or something less than the 1st round pick cost of other free agent acquisitions.
Just a thought for discussion.

San fran, I like that one....Phoenix I think its good to have limited rosters to help foster trades and free agent signing etc, and require GMs to make some cuts they wouldn't otherwise have to make...that being said I am open to discussion from the rest of the league on it.

Change/increase amount of ir-pup. 1 spot is way too few imo. 2 or even more
(Don't increase IR spots. But allow more flexibility with said spots)

change compact waiver deadline to later in season maybe week 10?
week 8 is too soon in season imo.

Also think the limit needs to be raised to at least $5M, but $8M would be best. Having a condensed cap hit under $3M (or whatever it is) is far too low to have a significant impact.

The point is that you shouldn't be able to skirt the consequences of large contracts for multiple years. Making the compact cap waiver higher, just allows people to get out of bad long term deals easier. I want owner to actually have to think and consider their rosters and how they form their teams for not only the current year but for years to come. Their has to be a line somewhere and I am holding strong on that one.
I will consider discussion on when the deadline is but week 8 is halfway through the season, thus you aren't able to wright off the next year so easily if you are already out of the playoffs and just want to cut dead weight. Its another rule I think forces owners to be aware of how their roster looks in the future. This league isn't designed to be easy and allow you to roster 50 players, have 10 IR spots, and able to cut people and face no long term consequences. It's serious business here in Legion 2.0. You want a free for all then join Legion 3, where we just drink beer and shoot the shit!

i think week 10 would be better, but that's just my selfish idealogy i guess maybe make it in tiers? $3m and under week 8 $1.5m and under week 9 $500k and under week 11 or somehting idk

This seems way too complicated, we can discuss in the off season, but I'm not sure I see the reasoning behind changing it.

I dont think raising the limit to $5M would be that big of a deal. Only a few additional players per year would qualify for it. 30% cap hit for $5M is only $1.5M so its not like condensing that in a previous year would have a HUGE impact for next year, I just dont think there is any benefit to having the limit be $3M. For a 2 year deal, you are only saving $900k, which compared to our huge salary caps isn't that impactful.
Guys who have $3M or less contracts are typically cheap enough that most people would rather take the little risk in keeping them anyways so the rule is rarely used. The benefit that condensing contracts gives isn't really seen in this league since the limit is so low.

yeah, that's exactly the point. You should have to deal with the consequences of signing players to long term deals. I'm not looking to make this easy.

$.5M cap hit for the next year for Failure to Format your IR or PS correctly, I mean seriously we are two season in and people still can't figure it out.

reduction of the 24 hour clock for bidding on FA players on Saturdays only, the time limit is reduced to 12 hours from 15:00 EST on a Saturday, this will allow sufficient time to be able to bid on players, and then sign them to your roster.

Increasing the salary cap to reflect NFL increase A way to resign veteran expiring contracts (maybe if they were pro bowlers and expiring, you can resign for 1 year, or an extended RFA system)

How about an "Andre Ellington" rule: if a player misses more than 6 games calculate their tier and if it is lower than their current tier move them down one tier only.
He certainly hasn't earned his $9M these past two years...
