I’ll create and forward the league number soon. Thanks for the heads up. New York football Giants are a keeper.

I will drop the Eagles. They would have made the conference finals (possibly the SB) if 94 DUR McNabb didn't get injured in the playoffs.
I am interested in trading the Rams(15-1 record & won the SB)... I don't want to drop them unless I am guaranteed a team I want....
I can provide a list of teams I am interested in later, I am bust for the next 7ish hours. Let me know if you are interested and what team you have to trade. Post here if you send me a SM so I will know to check it. 49ers are a team I am interested in, but I still need to determine if I can make the build I want with them. I will check back here in 7-8 hours.

Trading franchises (one for one only) is allowed up until we get to 12 owners confirmed with 1 franchise each.

The keeper or trading option ceases at that point of 12 confirmed. We will likely pause for 24 hours before the run on 2nd teams.

post your keepers here. Post new claims here. Post trades here and both owners need to acknowledge in the forum as well.

I have my selection ready for 6pm. It will be one of the two franchises yet to appear in FD should no one beat me to it.

We love new owners. Join us. The last 2 seasons have been solid playoff races in both conferences and owners here adjust well. People new to sim football in 2026 have competed and won right away. It’s not an open league retread where you are forced to be all extreme offense to have a reasonably good chance at competing. Get in here!

Updated above. 8 claimed franchises.

4 keepers/claims left before we pause. Likely a 24-48 hr break then resume with 2nd team claims or anyone else. Interim break will be open to any 1st time owner or those returning to claim or reclaim a 1st franchise.

I would like to try this - Detroit Lions
