The gravedigger!

All players had two jobs back then. Heck, Hebner served 2 weeks reserve duty his first 2 or 3 seasons too

I am wondering though any word or idea on the implementation timeline from the initial season protects from 15 to eventual 18 ? I'd suggest gradually say from 15 then 16 then 17 then 18, rather than all at once.

I am not sure i understand this.. the rule reads you cannot release more than ten...indicating you could keep 23..You will always have to bring in a new player to play the 1st season of your 25 yr period...could draft this slot new or trade for one who will be going past the last year of another owner.

I should've clarified the 1st season MINIMUM protect is 15, meaning MAX drop of 10, eventually becoming a MAX drop of 7 with MINIMUM protect of 18.

Being new and wanting to play safe with sufficient playing time, I have many 1 - 1 1/2 year wonders for Season1, but probly not enough mileage going into Season2 to drop from minimum 15 protects to minimum 18 protects all at once.

Gonna be at least 2 seasons before we look at that. 1st, to see how things play out, maybe people like having some one year wonders.

2, maybe it's needed.

That one will go for a vote before we get there. There will be pleanty of notice when/if it happens.

Speaking of 1 yr wonders...

This is going to be irrelevant next year, since no new players are going to be added to the draft pool. Whoever is not drafted this year will be drafted next. In year 3, all the 1-year wonders from this draft will be thrown back to get redrafted. Only then is a limit on how many players you cut going to matter.
