We had discussions last season about modifying the rule that requires each team to carry at least 5 players that are among the TE, K, and D positions. More roster penalties have been assessed for violations of this rule than any other.

I had brought up a suggested modifcation last year that would change the wording to say 5 dedicated roster spots to the TE/K/D, which keeps the spirit of the rule in play, but also eliminates the ticky tack penalties for only having 3 or 4 at these positions. Basically, it still restricts that teams cannot have more than 13 QB's, RB's, and WR's as things currently are, but eliminates the penalty for not carrying 5 players at the TE/K/D positions.

I think we should vote on this rule change now and impliment it for the 2007 season before things get further along.

So vote in the poll, and lets see if we can clean this up.
