Re: Covid IR Spots
I know I initially put an idea out there, but the more discussion I am seeing on this, the more I am leaning hard to lets just increase IR slots by 3.
some of the arguments what if you get a covid player on sat, ok having been in this league for probably ten plus years I have had plenty of times I get a player injured during the week and I got with an empty slot on game day. so its bound to happen, and I know the argument is the evil COVID, but I think personally were over playing COVID. we had what a two week period with protests that there was no mention of how dangerous it was to spread it, I mean common either it applies to all cases or not. but anyway, I think Keep It Simple. I doubt I vote for anything other than just add IR slots. |

The people I know and trust tell me Covid is not to be taken lightly and we're far from over with this pandemic. Just look at the alarming increases in the southern and western states. Florida had over 8000 new cases this past weekend alone.

Re: Covid IR Spots
I agree with Dale.. Keep it simple. I would vote for one additional IR slot. This is no different than anything else taking out a player.
I still hold to my opinion, that if any of us end up with more than 3 players out with this, the NFL is cancelling the season, or you are the most unlucky team in the history of FF with all 3 Covid players. I really don't see the season continuing if 20+ players go out with this at one time. MLB closed all spring training facilities with only 5 players on the Phillies testing positive

Re: Covid IR Spots
new cases are expected as we reopen. the main concern is if we get to a point where we overwhelm the hospitals, which even in the hot spot of NY, theyre hospitals were near capacity, but never were over, they never used any of the make shift hospitals put up, and only used put 180 some patient on that medical ship. viruses will come and go all the time, the question is do we shut down an economy and cause more harm in poverty and suicides, as we are seeing big spikes in suicides from this. the docs told my wife at her last infusion she should be more worried about the flu than covid. and the toal patient in Colorado springs hospitals for coivd has been 5, as of a month ago. most people do not require hospitalization, mostly the elderly with preexisting conditions are most at risk. athletes, they should all get in a hotel, and get it over with, how many have young athletes have died from this, very few if any. im not a heartless person, just a person based in reality and the severity of the issue. yeah its bad it kills people, but so does the flu ,and besides our own governor admitted we were over counting covid deaths.

Re: Covid IR Spots
Agreed that MFL would probably not be able to handle this. It would be a manual scoring with an admin override of the "0" score that MFL would show for the Covid player.
It was just a thought to try to make the whole replacement thing easier. Of course, the manual scoring would make a little more work for whomever would be responsible for the scoring... |

Re: Covid IR Spots
I'm good with just adding another IR slot as well.
Keeping it as simple as possible is probably the best course.. We would just need to specifics regarding what qualifies as a Covid IR player and the time allowed on IR. Also, do we have any idea how the NFL is going to designate these player so we will know. |

Re: Covid IR Spots
I'm also good with additional IR slot(s). Not sure how NFL would designate them. They may just list them as Out which could complicate matters with alternate solutions we've discussed.
While most players may not be as susceptible to the severe side of the virus, some of the older members of the coaching staff may be. |

Re: Covid IR Spots
Food for thought on handling the virus in Frenzy and SACD...
This FBG article breaks down the Return to Play agreement between the players and NFL. Players with Covid will get a special Covid Related Illness List designation, so we will know who is or isn't out for Covid. They're also majorly loosening regular IR rules for the season in the NFL. Some highlights from the article: Quote:
Quote:
Quote:
I think both leagues should discuss these impactful changes pre-actively plan around them. I mean, how do we handle it if a player decides to opt out. Does their contract toll, is the team penalized? Do teams get a roster exemption for said players, etc. I've heard Todd Gurley is one player that is seriously considering opting out. Others have been very vocal as well (Russell Wilson, Stefon Diggs, etc). I think we need to start discussing how we will handle players who opt out, and further discuss handling players that are designated with Covid Related Illness by the NFL.

Re: Covid IR Spots
Add Pro-Bowl LB Dont'a Hightower and RB Brandon Bolden to the list of opt-outs. That's 5 thus far. Guess they aren't as excited to play there without Brady!

Re: Covid IR Spots
Perhaps, but it's a great opportunity for S Kyle Dugger, our 5.12 draft pick in SACD!
FWIW, I've read that between UFA and Opt-Outs, NE is down 5 starters from last years D, including all 4 LB's. Not sure if that's correct but I read that on another board.

Re: Covid IR Spots
The Opt Out List keeps growing.
Add WR Devin Funchess to the Opt Out list. Also there are disputed reports that QB Nick Foles has opted out as well. Here's a list maintained by the NFL of the most definitive Opt Outs thus far: https://www.nfl.com/news/list-of-nfl...of-2020-season

Re: Covid IR Spots
Wow RB Damien Williams has informed the team he will be opting out.
I'm telling you, as a league we need to come to a solution and get ahead of the game on this before this turns into chaos for rosters!

Re: Covid IR Spots
I'd like to hear other voices than just mine! That said, I posted a suggestion for opt-outs in the Funchess thread.

Re: Covid IR Spots
There's certainly no consensus and a lot of division. We need to unite on how to handle this, whatever way that ends up being.

Re: Covid IR Spots
Here is my suggestion, which Pirates posted something similar in Funchess thread:
Add 3 Covid IR slots - only covid related temporary absence...works same as regular IR Unlimited Opt Out spots...players who opt out of season, go to this pool..their contracts go on hold for the year - they come back next year at same contract - contract does not count against owning teams cap at all this year

Re: Covid IR Spots
So Burt and website guys - can our system even handle a covid opt out pool of players??? Or do we manually keep a list of those players w/contract details in a thread? It seems like Burt is implying opt outs will freeze completely with $$$ and years? Is that what you are proposing?
The real NFL is only imposing a guaranteed money point of fact. The money rolls over even if player goes to another team, which I don't know how they can impose that on a new team. Messy if you ask me. NFL contracts and FA status tolls. I only mention this because we like to mirror them as much as reasonably possible. That all being said as IR guy - I like covid guys following our standard IR rules with the added slots. The issue is how many? Why would we restrict the number when they are covid identified? It's not gonna be a secret. Why 2 or 3 or 10, just a thought. The opt outs need a more immediate solution hopefully based on what our software can or cannot do...or a manual solution we agree on...

Re: Covid IR Spots
MFL can handle it.. Cut a player and delete penalty.
Pat is pretty savvy with Excel so I'm sure he can add a section for Covid opt out holdovers

Re: Covid IR Spots
Ok..I owe Pat (and probably everyone) an apology as I re-read these threads...I was in a narrow frame of mind...I also read that he wanted to at will make covid moves that weren't covid related - which wasn't the case...I overreacted and was wrong. I'm sorry Sword. And to the rest of you...I'll do better.

Re: Covid IR Spots
I think this is too tough to decide right now. Everything is sooooo fluid and is changing constantly. The minute we make a firm decision, things WILL change. With how baseball is going, I doubt the NFL will move forward.
