(Sunday Deadline) Being able to trade a re-sign slot (rule in body of message)

[Jason Howard]

We've had something come up in a trade (see: Tampa and New York) and I've made a tentative ruling to allow it on a limited basis. However, I wanted the leagues opinion before I allow it to go through. The trade deadline is Sunday so you have until then to vote and override the rule.

I propose we handle this in the following manner.

Rule: A team can transfer their re-sign rights to 1 player a year to another team as long as it meets the following conditions.
1. It will be counted against the team that traded the rights as if they re-signed a player and they will be unable to re-sign another player.
2. The trade must include a player on the final year of their contract coming from the team that is sending their re-sign rights.
3. The re-sign slot transfers to the new team to give them an extra re-sign slot.
4. The re-sign can ONLY be used on a player that was in the trade it was transferred in.
5. If no player in the trade re-signs as the result of any reason -- be it they refused to re-sign or simply were not offered -- the re-sign slot is still burned but cannot be transferred further.

---

Applying this to the trade we are looking it would function like so.

1. Tampa would send Warren Moon and their re-sign rights to New York.
2. Tampa would have 0 re-signs. New York would have 2.
3. One of the New York re-signs can ONLY be used on Warren Moon and no other player.
4. If New York decides to not re-sign Moon or he refuses to re-sign, that is just tough luck. The spot is still reserved for only Moon and cannot be transferred to another player or sent back to Tampa.
5. The re-sign rights can only be traded once.
6. Each team is limited to acquiring only one extra re-sign slot per season. No stockpiling.
7. At the end of the season these reset back to 1 for all teams.

Seems fair enough. Not happy it means Warren Moon is coming to the East but c'est la vie.

I always thought you were a retard when I listened to your song writing abilities. Seriously, what country song writer pens a line "high atop the siera nevadas drinking pina colladas in the summer tropical weather" and isn't a total idiot?  Do you understand the Sierra Nevadas are not tropical and are snow covered 95% of the year?

Even if I gave you the benefit of the doubt before you have proven through your own posts that yes, you are a retard. And I mean that in the most offensive way possible to only you.

Hey! Good to see you post finally! It will be quite a march toward the playoffs in the AFC East now for sure. Three loaded teams.
