WHAT IS A FREE AGENT ??? Any player from a 3-season window as your selected team, in the opposite league and on a team with a .499 or lower winning percentage is considered a free agent. All free agents signed are with a no-trade clause (they will be the only players that must stay on your roster for the whole season) and FREE AGENTS are not allowed to be TWISTED... Only one instance of a free agent player allowed in the league ... All free agents are first-come, first-serve. Signup for this league early and designate a free agent and you have that player's rights. If you decide later, while working on your team, that you don't want him, you can put him back on the market.
IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE TO NOT PICKING A FREE-AGENT ??? A new rule has been added to Season XXIII. If you don't want to use a free-agent, you may leave one of your mandatory players off your roster. In addition, you must designate one of your three most expensive players and tag that player with a no-trade clause.
