Scott, why do you think there has been a rule change on promoting picks and then making another pick next round?

Scott, why do you think there has been a rule change on promoting picks and then making another pick next round? Because I've done it in prior years.

I agree with you but I don't see where anyone says it has changed.

In my first year in the league, I specifically asked old commish Mike if I could promote a player drafted in the current year in order to free up an extra draft spot, and I was told I could not. I mentioned this to Scott in an email today, in case he was planning to do that. I'm only following what came from Mike in years past.
Regardless of what Mike's ruling was before, I'm of the volition that it does give a relatively insignificant, but unfair advantage to any team that does it...but I'm not too worried about it.

Does that go for baseball too? Didn't realize it was ever an issue.

OK, not being able to promote or drop a college player from the current draft to create another college position sounds ok to me. I don't have strong feelings wither way but I thought it had been done in the past and I didn't see where it had ever been changed.

Maybe different for Football than for baseball. Definitely think it should be allowed for baseball as it was in prior years. At least should have been discussed before changing it. Maybe I missed it.

I brought this up with Dave during the baseball draft. He was adamant that it was allowed in baseball, and I ultimately deferred to him because I had never tried it for baseball, so I had never paid attention to it, frankly. I only knew it was not allowed in football because of the specific example I cited.
I believe it should not be allowed in either league because of the insignificant, but unfair advantage I spoke of earlier. We can put it to a vote for future seasons, but as of right now, it isn't allowed for this current football year because of the history I had with Mike.

I will say though, that if you take the time to find an instance where Mike allowed you to promote a player drafted that season, and you were subsequently allowed to make an extra pick in the draft, then I will have to allow it for this season...and we will be voting on it one way or the other.

Not worth it to me to spend the time looking for it but know I've done it in baseball in the past. That is moot though for this year but we can vote on it for next year and beyond. Are we allowed to add released players on prospect contracts to our prospects rosters in Football?

Are we allowed to add released players on prospect contracts to our prospects rosters in Football? For the record, I meant specifically for football. I'm guessing that it has happened in baseball in the past, strictly on the number of people that say it has. Yes, once the draft has concluded, you're currently allowed to add released players on prospect contracts to your prospects roster in football.

I don't see how we are allowed to add $0 players to our rookie roster, there's a possibility they have already been promoted, such as a Johnny Manziel for instance. If the owner of Manziel released him, he's not allowed to add him back to his rookie roster, so how is someone else allowed to?

In my reply, I was thinking strictly along the lines of what is allowed in baseball. I don't see any reason why a player who was never promoted in football and released can't be added to someone's rookie roster. It should be easy to determine by searching the board for the player's roster history. Therefore, as long as the player was never promoted, they can be added to your rookie roster. If a player was ever promoted, under league rules, they can never go back to the rookie roster, as there are no options in the football league.

That would seem fair enough, with there not being any options in football as you said. Everybody has to just make sure they search for a player to see if he were ever promoted.
