With the new rules in regards to free agents, teams being able to claim them and a penalty for a winning team not picking them up in time, this thread hopefully can help with that. Below are the copy of the new free agent rules. Each Wednesday morning I will review to see who is still unclaimed and will post here. As well as send a reminder to the team who still needs to take action. Hopefully this will be of help to everyone but please let me know of anything you may want me to add.
- Bids will be posted each week by Sunday night at the latest
- Teams who have won players must claim them on Fantrax by the following week’s bid deadline.
- Any unclaimed players on Fantrax will be posted as available to be claimed by the second highest bidder, and the original winner will be
charged the cap penalty of a forced drop.
- If the second highest bidder accepts, he can add the player on Fantrax at the contract he offered, and the original winner’s cap penalty
will be reduced accordingly. If the second highest bidder chooses to pass or fails to respond by 11:59 PM EST on Sunday, the player is
eligible to be posted and bid upon as normal the following week
