So what are we doing with the leftover FAs?  I'm kinda confused.

If I have heard correctly, we will allow people to bid on one person every 24 hours starting at 7 pm tonight.

Limited free for all starting at 7 tonight.  You can sign 1 player for free (assuming you're over 51 players) every 24 hours.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Is there outbidding?

[rmw10]

Is there outbidding?

 

Considering 90% of these guys have survived 2 free agency periods without bids, I'd assume no.  I'm not really sure though.  If anyone feels strongly one way or the other and wants to present an argument, feel free.  I really don't care.

I'd say no outbidding then.  Keep it simple.

I agree.  This is more just to eliminate some of the names on the FA market more than anything else.

Yeah.  I'd rather fill my roster with some of these guys than UDFAs.

I'll participate in this

Nope.  He's been on my board for a very long time.

awesome pick

I just realized your signature says 2013 Browns GM when it is 2014.

[-Truth-]

We'll have no outbidding. It's on a first come, first serve basis.

Well I'll be damned...

[rmw10]

awesome pick

 

Thanks.  Didn't really need a FB being that I'm running more of a spread, ZBS offense, but he was too good to pass up at this point.

 

I'll participate in this

 

Sounds good.

 

No one really has to sign up or state that they are in.  You can join in, leave, and rejoin at any time really.  The only stipulation really is that you have to wait 24 hours before signing another guy.  It'll be self managed.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Use the FFA thread for this BTW.

[52520Andrew]

Less than 20 minutes until we start

[Mt. Crushmore]

Use this format when signing:

 

The Jacksonville Jaguars sign

QB Aaron Rodgers (position then player)

 

The position is key as there are a few names that are the same but different positions.

It doesn't matter to me, I am getting all of them lol

 

[Mt. Crushmore]

I was able to go through the list and create the list for this after FFA.  I just posted it in the FFA thread.

Sweet, thanks for that

[NFLfan123]

glad I got BJGE. Nice job by Crush stealing Hester from Truth lol

[-Truth-]

Just missed out on pairing Devin Hester with Percy Harvin. I'm happy to at least land Jeremy Mincey, who's been an above average run defender for several years, and will fit in quite well into Seattle's LDE mold.

[Mt. Crushmore]

I saw that Casillas signing coming.

[52520Andrew]

Lol that was a close call with Hester

 

I am very happy to get Housler at this point and I was not planning on getting him originally in FFA but at this point, he has too much potential to pass up. Should be able to compete for the MOVE role in my offense

[rmw10]

I was going to go another LBer but figured Casillas was a safer choice for my first go around on signings.

I was surprised to see him on the list when I was going through it.  Now he gets to teach Ace Sanders the ropes.  Good signing with Mincey though.  If Jacksonville didn't cut him mid-season I would have gone after him.  I figured it wouldn't be a good idea to sign him after Bradley and Caldwell got rid of him for non-playing reasons.

Likewise. He's still a threat as a return specialist. Good move on your end. And thank you. Good point. I didn't know that's why he was released.

From an ESPN article:

 

 The Jaguars released Mincey on Friday after he was late for another team meeting, according to a source close to the team. That comes nearly three weeks after he did not make the team's trip to Houston because he overslept and was late for a team meeting.

Mincey overslept and was late for a team meeting Nov. 23, and Bradley decided not to take him on the team's trip to face the Texans and also fined him an undisclosed amount. Mincey was inactive for the Jaguars' Dec. 1 game at Cleveland, although he did make the trip.

Mincey said he had some other minor transgressions over the past few months and that missing the Nov. 23 meeting was the tipping point for Bradley. Mincey has a 3-month-old daughter and owns a recording studio in Jacksonville, and he said he had gotten caught up with both of those things while his commitment to football slipped. He said he was grateful for Bradley's punishment because it helped him reorganize his priorities.
