Position Limits. Rule nÂș 6: Defensive line players may only include players whose primary position is a defensive lineman who weighs at least 276 lbs.

His coverage ability is pretty awful to convert him to LB. What's your plan with this player MVRowner?

Build his weight up. According to Sethrick, players can build their weight up between training camp and during the regular season. My goal is to build him to the minimum weight and if he can't, he'll probably be released.

Plus, if you believe I'm violating the rules, Salty_Watermelon had him as Right Defensive End this whole time.

Whoops. Completely missed that. I traded for him last off season from Carolina and thought he was already at weight considering it came from another veteran GM.

so your going to possibly cut a player who doesn't gain weight. and you gave up 2 draft picks? I am concerned with that logic! I am advising you to get up to speed on this trading issue. I am not conviced you are acting in the best interest of the team/league. Take this very seriously young man as I am about fed up with the strife you are causing. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what is a good trade and what is not a good trade!.........................................................MM

That was not the right response I should have made at the moment. I tried to avoid another blow up in this league because I'm tired of upsetting people. I shouldn't have said I was going to cut him if it doesn't work. I was thinking about trying to avoid issues, not thinking about my plan logically.

He is in his 4th year. He has been a DE since his rookie year. I have my doubts he can build his weight up, especially when he's 5' 10".

START THINKING if I lose one GM due to these trade issues with you I will call for a vote to have you removed. It's not worth losing several of our veteran people bc of your foolishness. This is your one and ONLY warning.I am contacting JDB to see what the appropriate steps are from here on out. I am over this garbage..................................MM
