2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Let's keep it all in one thread.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

So where are the bids ya'll? I was gone all weekend, expected some action upon my return?

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

I'm kinda watching and waiting, though I only have 9 days to bid... come 4/12 I'm in Disney World with no internet for 13 days.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary

Have fun, sounds like the whole fam will have a great time.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary

RB Willis McGahee - 3200cb Tender
RB Jamal Lewis - 1050cb Tender
LB James Farrior - 200cb Tender

TIA

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Since you've been so good to me in years past, my answer is, um...no.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Have I EVER bid on your RFA's?

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Jake,

Why would you open Rudi at the tender level? Of course he'll be matched there. You know better than to open RFA's too low. What's the strategy here, you looking to flood the market with bids?

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Just did Disney about a month ago. It was a blast with my 2 year old.

Are you staying at one of the resorts?

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

What do you mean I know better? Seems to me that if the bid is so low that its guaranteed to be matched, it follows that the bid is also guaranteed to be bumped up by another owner. Nothing wrong with encouraging participation - especially the way things are starting here. I've never seen a RFA period start this slow in the Frenzy. I'm interested to see if the long list of other player retention rules we have on the books are going to stifle the RFA interest. That just might end up being the case.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

We're staying 2 nights at Pop Century, and 5 nights at Coronado Springs

The other days are travel days and a day or 2 at my bosses place on the Gulf near St. Pete.

We did Disney last Februaty (2005) as well, this is a more relaxed trip to Disney (water parks, and not such a rush to see eveything siunce we've seen most of it).

My next big trip is Hawaii in April 2007... 16 days including a 7 night cruise through the islands. That trip should be a blast.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

I guess I'm more in the belief that bidding closer to your target figure for a RFA is better than nickle and diming the bids, and potentially letting a guy slip through too cheap as a result. This isn't typical UFA bidding where you're trying to acquire a guy as cheap as you can, the goal here is to force these players to sell at or above market value, and hopefully pull 1 or 2 by making the match difficult on the tendering team.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

You saying my RFA's aren't good enough for you?

RFA snob.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Maybe it has something to do with the level of talent on your roster ;)

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

i cant speak for the others, but my lack of bidding so far had to do with it opening on the weekend.

i will start bidding today as soon as i get caught up on some things.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Well the jerk store called, and they'll all out of you!

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Bidding opened this morning actually.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

i guess it is a good thing i didnt bid yesterday then

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

That Frenzy Bowl loss to me last year was hard on you wasn't it. It's OK Brian, you'll get another chance in 10 or 15 years.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Mike's strategy is valid - just keep starting leagues with the same guys, eventually you'll win one of them.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

:ROFL:

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

It's OK Mike, you'll get back to the big game before then. I plan on being there again this year.

SAC'D, now that's a different story.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

I've been there 4 years in a row... my players are getting tired, no off-season ya know, but when you have what it takes, you're there year, after year, after year...

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

I've only missed one year (due to rebuilding from having taken over a team in a bad contract situation). I've got the third highest percentage of playoff appearances in the league, 3rd highest PPG lifetime average, 3rd most points in the post season in league history, I feel I good about my chances of making it back, and feel good about what will happen when I do.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Hmm, whose # 1 or 2 in all those categories? ;)

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Since this is SACD I would have to say that I probably am 1 or 2 in all of those categories

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Please stay out of our non-SACD related Frenzy discussion on the SACD boards.

TIA

:moon:

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

I don't keep track of the "who's" unless they are me.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Fricken grammar police... get a life ;)

Maybe I should start calling you SMOO. :D

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Hmm, that was an unintentional grammar attack. Yet looking closer, it appeared warranted.

Wow, I haven't been to the FBG boards for months. Smoo is a name I have not heard in a long time....a long time.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Aren't you lucky... he's one of the WW geeks on packmentality

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Ahhhh, Smoo. Not sure if I miss him or not.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

I thought the consensus was that RB prices were going to fall? So much for that theory.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Yes, the 6-man game of musical-stud-RBs is getting expensive.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Preds started it....5250!! bah...

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

:Shrug:Sorry

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

No kidding.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

DOnt think stud RB prices will drop anytime soon

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

I have a feeling they won't EVER drop...better get lucky with the rookie draft.....

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Well, then the RFA tenders are too low. Seven RFAs have been sold and the match has been determined. Of those seven, 3 1st round compensatory picks have been handed out. That's not a good way to start things with so many more RFAs to be bid on. Potentially, three more (or more, I've lost track) could be handed out. That would be yucky.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Especially if you have pick 2.1

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

1 year is not a trend.

I would hate to make a correction for something that is not broken.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

True, I'm not saying we change for next year, but if next year is a repeat, then I would advocate adjusting the numbers.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

So I get Rudi Burt?

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

I have 2 days to decide....but ultimatly, it's Skippy's call, not mine....:bling

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

I have a feeling once more teams get some low priced draft picks in the fold, prices will start to get more affordable...other than LT and SA types....

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

when do we have to decide how many years to slap on to players we got in RFA?

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

All players acquired through RFA, the rookie draft, and over the summer don't need years assigned until the start of the season UNLESS they are traded, at which point years need to be assigned prior to the trade.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

I thought RFA's couldn't be traded until Aug 31?

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

I was refering to rookies and UFA regarding the trades.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

But Skippy was referring to RFA's...

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

I meant I was refering to rookies and UFA when I mentioned "UNLESS they are traded." Obviously (or, it should be obvious) since RFAs cannot be traded, that part of my statement does not apply.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Huh?:Popcorn

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Deadline to announce contract years:

RFAs = Start of season

UFA = Start of season (unless traded, then years must be announced at time of trade)

Rookies = Start of season (unless traded, then years must be announced at time of trade).

Capiche?

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Dude. I understood what you were saying....I ws just wondering where Skippy stood on all this....

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

where i stand? i think dodgers has it right.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Man, after jacking all the RFA amounts up I was hoping to avoid all these compensatory picks. I really think we ought to consider some fee for the team that gets the player (ie you sign a first round tender guy and it costs you a third round pick). I am not saying an eye for an eye but otherwise we end up with like an extra rounds worth of compensatory picks.

This is not a huge issue for third or fourth round compensatory picks but the first rounders kill the value of second round picks. I think this is something that we should consider adding for next offseason.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

My take, I think the RB tenders need to be bumped to 4000 for a 1st, the tenders for rounds 2-6 are fine.

If the RB tender was 4000 for a 1st I never woulda tendered a 1st for McGahee, though as it was I felt I was really gambling at 3200.

I'd also be in favor of eliminating a 1st round tender level for all IDP's, Ray Lewis, as good as he once was, doesn't warrant a 1st round comp IMO.

Lets just fix some of the 1st round tenders, specifiacally RB by making it an extremely difficult decision to tender a 1st, unless you've got a LT or Alexander type.

Re: 2006 SACD RFA Commentary
 

Grrr, agreeing with Mike hurts.
