First of all, I echo the enthusiasm of the BLOODSUCKING INSECTS... this is a pretty cool league! I like having dedicated, knowledgable opponents... it should be a very competative league!

Now, for expansion... sounds fine with me. At first I was kinda opposed to it... but I think moving up to 16 would probably work, if we did it in increments. Having 3 unprotected players should work, too... although I can't imagine the quality of these players would be much of a "foundational core." Then again, it could be a few "big contract" players, ie. Jax this year in the NFL, who "lose" a player to expansion, and thereby avoid the cap ramifications.

So... I guess I like the idea of going two new teams at a time (up to 16). I think there will be enough turn-over of solid players from year to year that it shouldn't be impossible for new owners to become competative in a few years!

Let's keep this idea "stewing"!
