Is There A fantasy League Like This?

[Footballjoe]

Just wondering if anyone has a league where the player contracts are based on what actually takes place in the MFL? For example: if you owned Megatron then his new yearly contract would be 7 yrs. If you had a NFL player that was an RFA this year then he would be an RFA in your fantasy league. Might be an interesting concept for someone smarter than me to put together.

And so when a RFA on your team, as in real life, signs with whom-ever, they would inherit that contract? Interesting. So you would bid on a player not knowing what kind of contract he would receive.

I can't imagine how you could make it work in any hard cap league.

 

We use points times 8500 plus 20% for players in thier last year of a contract and eligible for contract extensions, (3 total years)

our one F-Tag is = to the average of the top 3 salaries (two year minimum)

Our T-Tag if not using F-TAG IS = to the 15 highest salary at position.

The auction sets the price of FA players with a minimum bid of 500K

 

With 32 players, 60 total contract years over 3 years and a 45 million cap it is already extremely complex with no real cap relief.

 

Johnson happens to be up for extension in our league and his price is 3.246 million which will make him the highest paid WR in our league already.

 

I see no way it could work as a Commish due to the volumes of work that would be involved trying to keep up with the salary changes of players on 32 NFL teams. Points based production is the only real effective way to set contracts. The Commish would go crazy first, then the owners if the caps were based on actual earned dollars given new contracts and last minute contract extensions.

 

I know I am not smart enough and if I did try I would be better served trying to become a rocket scientist. It is hard enough trying to manage rosters of 14 teams, interjecting every actual contract of every player in the league, then applying to each team......man I would take up drinking full time.

 

Scary just thinking about it from a Commish perspective.

Why are you whispering?

didn't you just quit a league with a salary system that uses cash?

I play in a fantasy baseball league like this. We use the player's actual MLB salaries, but the max you can sign them to is five years. Some players don't get drafted/signed because they count too much against the cap. Our cap this year is $89 million. ARod makes $32 million. He wasn't rostered last year. Unlike MLB owners, we have to show restraint.

 

I have never thought about doing it for football. You could do it, but figuring out the salary cap would be challenging.
