Regarding the possibility of freezing post season rosters. I am against this. I would like to still be able to pickup players in the off season. This is not real football where NFL teams have 3 to 4 backup players as well as practice team in case of a an emergency. As stated before, due to our current limit of 16 players it is very difficult to keep more than 2 QBs. Lets face it, anyone not on a roster by the time our post season rolls around will not be a game breaker. They would be a fill in player at best. I would consider these pickups emergency situations anyway.
I do not like Mike's rule where the team that makes a pickup during the post season MUST play that player. What if one of my players was Questionable and a game time decision. I pickup someone as insurance but later find that my player is going to play. I would then have to play the pickup over my regular starter? I think if you're in the post season you're going to have to definitely plan ahead weeks in advance. Keeping good players away from your opponents is a viable strategy in my book. This has always been the case.
I like the suggestion of a definitive end time (Sat at midnight was suggested) for bidding so one team cannot prolong the bidding of a FA just to keep them off someone else's team. I feel this is a better route to go.
