Once again , I am NOT in favor of any further trade restrictions. I am in favor of a change in Draft policy....so it's harder to figure the "Big Catch" .....not even sure if it can be done....or if it will be voted in....I have been on the competition committee for 3 years never have I seen so many challenges to trades before.. There is some mistrust, and jealousy .....mostly I attribiute the unrest to this F.....G poor version of MFN (4.5). 4.3 had problems 4.4 was meh ok they only lasted a season or so but "THE CURSE" ..."THE ******* CURSE" has been around too long

Maybe a draft lottery is the key just like the nba or that every new manager cant trade his first round pick in his first year with the team

I do a lot of trading what does this prove. First off with the titans I was still within my first year so it was a learning curve despite getting help from GMs it's difficult to grasp the mechanics of this game when free agency, in my opinion, is bogus how it works so what's next I have to trade for what I need when I did finally start understanding things the statr of the game jumped twice in 2 seasons from 4.3 to 4.5 throwing everything I had learned out the window practically. Now free agency being difficult to sign anyone and me being behind on picks from a few early years of bad trade deals now the only way to get better was to go after certain guys while trying to stay relevant in a tough league. When I finally was done being fed up with the team I chose to step down. Yes i left the team in a bit of shambles but I was going to get fired regardless so either way it wouldn't have been a better. I trade heavily because of the fact that I've never gotten consistent free agents to come my way in the offseason and it has worked fine for me In every league since then my Paydirt B affiliate is proof of that. So to say I should be the last one to debate Trading when your talking about hurting or limiting my only means of continuing I might as well hand my resignation in on monday.

To be honest if paydirt is full of experienced GMs who have proven their worth, there should be no trade restrictions right? No one should be getting fleeced and everyone knows the value of players regardless of inflated positions like OL. We have a trade committee to review potentially unfair trades. I think there are enough fail safes in position that trade limits are not needed.

jdb has confirmed that as soon as the NFL adapts these rule changes MFN will also change.
It will not be an option.

If/when the NFL expands to a 14 team playoff and 17 game season so will we by default.

more of a question here but i know we have several Paydirt Rules already live, but is there a Discussion tab we could pin with all Active rules in the league because i really dont remember most of them until someone gets flagged about it ?
