S22 Expansion

[ADwyer87]

@ADwyer87 because I posted about 31 seconds after you, if you think a team of 10 players with none retiring and none leaving in Free agency BEFORE a large draft and signing their own Free agents is dead, then you have way too high of standard. May just be the nostalgia hitting me, but I remember a 7-man active lockerroom based out of philly winning an ultimus. Not saying a 7 man active lockerroom is ideal or even on-par, but my proposal is not as far out as you think.

I sould say its incredibly far out. Youre just punishing expansion teams in a situation that is already harsher than the last expansion rules. I get that you "protect other teams here" but as is based on my preliminary looks based on the preliminary looks theres an incredibly small chance with these rules that we get 7 actives each from this draft, maybe 7 actives total. And any actives we are getting are either mid earners or regressing guys (still very valuable users for a locker room but less so for an expansion franchise).

We are essentially getting the 8th best, 10th best, and 12th best players from each team. And i think thats fair, just to be clear. But i think looking at that its crazy to think the rules are too easy for expansion teams. Its a good level of harsh, obviously imma take what i can get being one of the said expansion teams but either way im not upset with those rules.

Take the 8th, 10th, and 12th best player from each NFL team and youre not gonna make the playoffs. Do it from the XFL and that team is winless. Do it in the NBA and most you would be lucky to win 10 games. Again, i agree eith the rules, but i think copying an NBA system is insane for a league like ours
