2019 Free Agent Bids

Please, Only Post Bids On This Thread

If we keep the free agency discussion in it's own thread we will be able to track our bids (and others) with greater ease.

Thank you.



Free Agency starts on Tuesday, March 12th at 8am.

Here are the rules -

1. All players that have been cut or reached the end of their contract, including UFAs, unsigned ERFA or untendered RFAs, will be available on the open market to the highest bidder.

2. Tendered RFAs and players designated a transition tag or non-exclusive franchise tag can also be bid on but the tendering team may require compensation and also has the right to match the best offer.

3. There will be no bonuses and all contracts will be on yearly average wage. We will not assume how many or how few years a player is signed with a team with the exception of players that accept their Tenders or players that are signed to a minimum contract. Those are all 1 year deals.

4.All bids must be 10% higher than the last bid, rounded to the nearest $1000, or $1M more than the previous bid, whichever is lesser.

5. You have 24 hours from a won bid to sign your free agent. If you do not sign him then he will be signed automatically. You may cancel your bid before then and the player's highest bid will be set to a prior value or restarted at the Commissioner's discretion. If you win the rights to a player but refuse to sign him you will no longer be permitted to bid on that same player.

6. A player can't be signed to a minimum contract until (TBD) at 8am. At that point teams have 24 hours to make a minimum bid for any already bid on free agent or any new ones from this point on. If more than one team puts in a minimum bid without getting outbid then the owner of the minimum bid will be the team the player was on prior to free agency. If that team did not put in a bid then it would be randomized by the commissioner.

7. You can never be over your adjusted salary cap.

8. Please follow this bidding format to help us keep things organized within the thread. Post your new bid first, followed by the previous bid on the same player. Be sure to use the players full name. Example -
The Giants bid on
Axel Foley
$1,000,000

Previous bid
The Raiders bid on
Axel Foley
$900,000

 

I'm assuming, like last year, that originally starting bids of $6M or greater will only be allowed until such time that the free agent market slows down enough for the Moderators (@Tim ) to keep up.

 

Raiders bid on LeVeon Bell
$15,000,000

 

Raiders bid on
Trent Brown
$16,000,000

 

Raiders bid on
LaMarcus Joyner
$10,000,000

 

The Cleveland Browns place an opening bid on:

Sheldon Richardson, DT - Vikings
$6,000,000

 

Dallas Cowboys bid on
Earl Thomas
$16,600,000

 

Steelers bid on
Maxx Williams TE
$1,000,000

@showstopper , Bids in the opening stage of Free Agency are for players expected to fetch a MINIMUM of $6,000,000. You will have a chance to make a $1,000,000 bid later on.

 

It's difficult for the mods to keep up. For the first week or so, we are only bidding on players with a minimum of $6m.....You can still bid on Maxx later, after things slow down a bit.
