If you ARE in favor, would you care to explain why? The whole "you signed him, you should have to deal with it" line of thinking isn't exactly sound logic, imo. There is no point in forcing a team to hold on to a player that they don't want/need for an extra six days, when they're going to cut him anyways. Being able to cut the player immediately (even if this is only an off-season sort of thing) would make things easier for the player in question, as well as the team by freeing up that roster spot, allowing the problem to be solved NOW, and allowing that player to find himself a new home and not have to "wait", when his potential home could be taken by an another agent if the person offering the spot is impatient.

see above.. and I fail to see how it is not sound logic, and if you really think it always makes it easier then fine.. set an approval process. It is easy to implement.. and ensures that is the case.

+1: But make it 'Player Agreeable' to avoid owners signing a body & then turning around and dropping them right before the season begins.

they can do that anyways... it's only a 6 day requirement...

If nothing else, i say kill it during off-season and preseason.

If you sign a guy and then decide to re-make him or find someone else you have to wait nearly a week to cut him. that sucks.

players are eligible to be dropped after 6 days, so them staying on the team only hurts the player. (yeah, yeah, there's a chem hit, but chem is a joke) lets face it, if an owner is going to cut a player, the sonner the better for the player. say you sign on day -3 and for whatever reason, the owner decides that you arent right for the team, or you ask to be released, do you really want to wait until day 3 to find a new team? for peewees, thats the kiss of death

Guppy....I see your points but ,quite honestly , just don't think they are valid.. If you have 50 + offers out,go to work,come home...
Oh shit.Now I'm screwed.I think that should hold more weight than one great team using every change to their advantage. But that's just's my thoughts.

Pretty much this, the criticism that has been in this thread just does not make sense, there were reasons it was in place, and now those reasons are gone.

This would help Owners, GMs, and agents alike, if i'm a player that just got oversigned and became the 6th DE and the owner wants me gone and I want to be off, why not make this happen?

If I leave to work at 1 PM and get back at 8, two different players can accept within that time range and theres nothing at all I could do about it, this helps everyone involved. Hope this gets implemented next offseason atleast.

+1000

Again, Sorry Guppy !


But I may have to make you feel like a fish in a shark tank here.

If this event bothered bort so much there are better, more elegant, and just as simple to implement solutions than allowing a players contract to not be seen as binding by both sides.

+1,000,000 to OP.

Every year where we have this problem where recruits are on the fence past d40 and we have to ask an existing player to sign an extension just in case we need them. Then, when the recruit comes through, the re-signed player has to wait 6 days for a new home and hope whatever team he finds will hold an open slot that long.

It's not fair to the agents or the team. Keep the rule for regular season if you like, but not offseason.

These are the exact reasons I think the Rule is a waste now during the Off-Season/Pre-season. I can see an advantage during the season but not during the offseason...and as someone previously stated...The 20 Day rule should NOT change...that still has a major purpose!

Maybe a 2-day rule.

As an addendum: The 20 day rule however still makes sense
