As opposed to $100 in a 12 man league? I mean if you’re looking for reasons to be contrarian then sure you’ll find them.

We have different opinions about the trade. That is just obscuring the fact about how whack this league's RFA money system currently is, and that is something you guys were agreeing on until I brought it up like this. I'll leave it at that because I'm borderline sounding like Brent now and that's the last thing I want.
It's the same system that nearly every other Huddle league has, are those out of whack? AOTAOP is a 16 man $100 league and has had bids of $150 on AJ Brown, $110 on Tee Higgins, and $90 on Deebo Samuel.
It's no different than a 2000 square foot home going for $200k in Mansfield, Ohio but the same home would sell for $800k in San Fran. Different costs of living, different average incomes, different housing markets. You can't expect them all to be the same.

Ivan Pace isn't worth half what he got for him (he's had a single decent game),
In a $50 league you're closer to right. But again, this is a $100 league that has had far less RFA history and spending than established leagues have.
For reference, FDSB is an established 12 man $50 a year league:
FDSB average owner cash - $37
AFL average owner cash - $143Almost 4x the cash reserves.
FDSB bid on LB's
Mosley, C.J. NYJ LB 7
Edwards, T.J. CHI LB 18
David, Lavonte TBB LB 5
Morrow, Nicholas BUF LB 6
Davis, Demario NOS LB 2
Thompson, Shaq CAR LB 5
White, Kyzir ARI LB 4
Singleton, Alex DEN LB 6
Overshown, DeMarvion DAL LB 2
Kendricks, Eric DAL LB 3Jordan Hicks went down in week 10 with injury and this is how Pace filled in (worth noting that he straight up stole this role from the prior year's early round pick Brian Asamoah):
11 17.00 at Broncos 37.2 32 Huntington Beach Longhorns - TS 6 3 1 12 19.00 vs Bears 31.9 19 Huntington Beach Longhorns - TS 7 1 2 1.0 13 Bye Huntington Beach Longhorns - TS 14 26.50 at Raiders 30.0 9 Huntington Beach Longhorns - TS 7 1 6 1 1.0 1 15 16.00 at Bengals 29.5 7 Huntington Beach Longhorns - TS 7 2 16 9.24 vs Lions 30.2 10 Huntington Beach Longhorns - TS 3 1 1 17 17.00 vs Packers 27.5 3 Huntington Beach Longhorns - TS 5 7 18 14.00 at Lions 30.2 10 Huntington Beach Longhorns - TS 5 4 Hicks is now gone and Pace is wearing the green dot. You don't think a guy like that is worth the equivalent of Nick Morrow/Shaq Thompson or and aging Lavonte David?

Nothing broken about it. We've had 6 years of $100 reloads. The first 3-4 years had all guys on original contracts so no spending there, DTS guys being on taxi for 2-3 plus another 4-5 initial contracts, and Devy players having an additional year or two on top of that to bake. Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Saquan Barkley, Kamara, Mixon, Jonathan Taylor, DJ Moore, Mike Williams, AJ Brown, DK Metcalf, Roquan Smith, none of those have have hit RFA. Christian McCaffrey, Nick Chubb, Fred Warner are just now having contracts expire. Plus we have a virtual lockdown FT rule that's cheap as hell to keep the top dollar guys. It's how free markets work, supply/demand/cash flow. Josh Allen hit RFA two years ago because of a bad initial contract and he got a $113 bomb dropped or the same reason.
We entered RFA with an average of $143 per owner so either we can "overpay" for average/above average guys or we can suck wind and take $250 into next year.

Plus the timing of the bid just seemed wonky, as a series of bids had already been placed on Ridley, with the big bid coming basically immediately after his rights were dealt to the FNG
Last year I put Russell Wilson up for $1 thinking I'd bump it later. Not one donkey even bid $2 and he closed at $1. If you don't bid what you're willing to win him at, don't be surprised if your underbid gets matched. When I truly want a guy I put down what I'm willing to pay. If it's matched or outbid so be it but I'm not going to be the donkey (again) that doesn't get the chance to take his shot. You had $213 and traded for his rights, so I knew I wasn't gonna win him with a lowball bid.

Cocks don't belong in pants they need to be left to free range!
