Not much debate this year, but might be a good thing. Anyway, my thoughts:
1.) a) No tier limits on franchise tags
b) No limit on number of times you can tag a player but only if:
c) The franchise tag includes a minimum 20% increase on the previous salary, even if the tag cost is lower than that amount (franchise tags should be expensive, reserved for keeping elite talent at extortionate values)
2.) Overhaul Prestige system - no great ideas from me
3.) Division and/or Conference Shakeup - I'm down for a realignment, either random or on geographic lines. Would like a straight vote on whether to keep promotion between divisions - not sure what I think
4.) reduce playoff teams to 6 instead of 8 - I like this, also like the idea of playoffs within conferences so you have conference championships
5.) Paying ahead before trading picks more than 1 year out. - yes, it's been nice we've worked on just trust for a number of years, but I think we need to protect ourselves
6.) Creating/Utilizing a Transition Tag - if people like the idea I have a suggestion I'll post below
7.) Reducing the Draft down to 5 Rounds - I like it as is, agree the 6th is dart throws but we've had some nice outcomes, not sure I see the reason to cut it
8.) Making Injured reserve so that only players Designated by NFL/MFL may be placed on it but players can be moved to active at any time with no penalties - isn't the first half of that how the rules currently are (need to be on IR in real life to be eligible) with that no time limit for being on IR seems fine since the NFL does that for us
9.) Expanding/Expounding on Taxi Squad Stealing - I think the only things we could do are reduce the number of protections or lower costs for stealing and I don't think I like either. It's not a huge part of the game today but I think that's OK
10.) Revamp of Owner/Player awards - Adding and taking away some of the awards and/or changing their values/rewards. - not a fan that personnel genius is a negative to win (especially since the "winner" is then supposed to self-enforce) so I'd scrap/change the value/reward
