so to be clear we will have a chance to sign all the players that are leaving that aren't supposed to be (or at least will have a 12-24 hour window?).

LMAO...thank you, dude. I needed that laugh today. At least you're aware of it now. Because yeah, anyone who isn't aware of it is going to lose at least like 1/3 of their team.
[quote name='pitfallharry219']Should we put a moratorium on trades until after the re-signing period?[/QUOTE]
I was kind of thinking the same. I guess trades that involve players who aren't in the last year of their deals are ok. But at the same time, I would think it's going to be hard for people to really KNOW what's going to be a position of need until they get their roster hammered out a little more clearly.
For example, I'm losing 4 offensive linemen, 3 WRs, and both of my backup QBs. I was only aware of about 3 of those. So, my plan of attack has changed a little bit, and I can't even swear that I'm going to be in a position to trade (or even sign) Kenny Britt anymore. To me, considering what's in store for us, it might be too early to be thinking that far ahead.

Yeah, for sure. We'll do whatever needs to be done to make sure things are reasonable. I know for certain that the first week (in game time) after the Super Bowl is your exclusive time to negotiate with your own free agents. The week after that, it opens up for everyone.
So, as was mentioned earlier, you're going to get one chance at offering your players contracts, and after that, they'd be open to other teams making offers as well. The general idea was to allow 24 hours for EACH week of the offseason to try to accommodate everyone and their work/personal schedules...which I still think is the most fair way to do it.
What we COULD do, considering the circumstances is to transform that first week of open negotiations into a 2nd week of restricted negotiations. That would leave 2 weeks of open negotiations after that. Not sure if people would like that idea, as it would give everyone a bit of an advantage in re-signing their own players...but at the same time, some might think that's fair.

Yup, definitely. I can't say when or exactly how long I'll be able to get on. But I'll make sure that you and our new Falcons owner are both invited, and that we're ready to begin the offseason process...or at least as ready as we can be, haha.

Don't forget we need a squatter for the Patriots.
Also, I think at this point most people know what's going on. A moratorium on trades seems silly, especially those negotiated in good faith. If you're worried that a trade you worked out is going to bite you in the ass, you can always contact your trade partner and ask if you can put a hold on it.
Also, have we established a contract years limit for certain?

Ya I have been in discussion talks, and I told everyone basically I am waiting till the open FA signing period starts. I can see what I am losing, and who I might could get in replacement in FA. I think at this point everyone should be aware of what's going on and just take that into consideration.

I do not like this idea at all. Simply send out a PM outlining everything we have discussed. We all have big names to sign, offer them what they want. I think it just opens it up for people to make mistakes.

Yeah, I'll go ask if anyone in the other league wants to do it. And yeah, the only trade approved so far was yours and DVO's right? That's what I meant...I don't think that one is a problem. I just don't know that there's a lot of point in people going crazy submitting other trades until they have a better idea of what's going on.
As for contract length. I'll detail it in the mass PM I send out tonight. But in general, it's going to be that in exclusive negotiations, you can offer your own free agents any deal you want. But any free agent that reaches the open market, you cannot offer any longer of a contract than what they're asking for.

What does sending a PM out have to do with adding a 2nd week of exclusive negotiations? The idea was to give people a second crack at players who might not take the first deal since we're all going to be dealing with so many expiring contracts. It might make people naturally more conservative in their initial offering.

I'll do it if you need someone. I have a pretty good grasp on their roster (though maybe not this version).
I assume you just need someone to re-sign their current guys? I doubt they need any free agents.

I meant that I think sending out a PM so everyone is aware of the situation is enough. They will know that they need to offer a good enough deal so their players do not reach open FA at all.
I have Justin Smith, David Akers, Vontae Davis, Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Terrell Brown, and others to resign. I am in the same boat as everyone else. The only people I thought I was going to have to resign was Moss, Welker, and maybe Brown. It originally only showed me losing like 9 guys. Everyone has a reason to bitch and complain about what is happening, let's just work with the system they gave us.

You're welcome to take them. They are a very different Pats team though. The last owner made the following moves:
