Yeah, I see your message. No idea why the 'play' button's not working. I'm pinging cdcox, but I'm pretty sure he's unavailable tonight. He'll get on it ASAP to solve the mystery. Sorry about the problem.

What happens is we don’t have a “complete” roster after this free agency, say 50 guys or missing a punter? |

Okay, got an answer from cdcox. He stopped the site for a bit so he could fix the ****ling free agent problem. I'm getting in because I'm an admin. Once he fixes the problem it'll go back up. We probably need to have a "Down For Maintenance" sign.

If you're short players, you'll automatically use "street free agents" where you're short. These are guys without names who show up, do the minimal job, and then go away when not needed. They're generally going to be worse than the worst name player that you could sign, so you want to avoid using them. Sometimes it'll happen, though, when you get in a situation where you've got a bunch of injuries.

I think the free agent issue was that our list was missing a few guys who weren't on opening day rosters for various reasons like suspension. So comb through the free agency list again, because there are a few prominent players who had been suspended or otherwise not on rosters.

If you lose on a free agent, you get your money back, too, so you can bid on a different free agent. There are enough guys out there that you should be able to fill a gap even if it's with an NFL backup. That's still better than using a street free agent all season. |

I'm sure these are probably stupid questions, but that's ok. I'm old now and can't recall what I had for dinner last night.
Is this Sandbox season based on the 2018/19 NFL season or the 2019/20 season? The amount of money we bid on a Free Agent determines his contract, correct? If I'm the highest bidder and bid $50 for a kicker, that means that kicker is mine for 7 years? Will there be a rookie draft before we begin play? Do we need to hold back money for that draft? On the Free Agent Auction list, what does the "Bid Opens Week" mean? I'm sure I'll have even more questions later. |

It’s based off of 18/19. No rookies until next year because they haven’t played a full season. I don’t know other answers

You have some 'tiers' wrong that I've seen so far.
My guards, for instance, are listed as Tier 3 players when the rules say they should be tier 4 guys. I had most of this budgeted as I was drafting so it seems untoward to change that particular rule on the fly with no advanced warning. Do we have a mis-print here? |
