IF not, should that be the majopr consideration, I mean, say a guy is activated for 9 weeks, he's no longer be eligible to be sent back down (by the current team).
The reason I included this, instead of setting a limit to move a guy back down after 8 weeks is two fold. First, it seemed people that didn't like the limit of 200cb wanted either a limit on the amount of time you could send a player back down to the Taxi squad, or the limit removed. Others didn't want it to be that restrictive. I thought this was the best compromise. While you can still move a player back down after 8 weeks, you will pay the premium for it.

And besides, if you need a player for longer than 8 weeks, you could just promote him for 8 weeks, demote him, and promote him again. Or would we need to limit the number of times you can promote and demote a single player? That seems like we'd start treading into the "difficult to keep track of" waters, and I thought we'd want to stay clear of that.

If people don't like this compromise, and want to go with a strict 8 week limit, then sound off in the thread, and I'll change the poll.
