I am a commissioner in a 12 team league. We have been around 13 years now, and I have never seen an issue like this come up.
Adrian Peterson is not technically suspended. He is not injured. He is listed as "Exempt."
His owner today asked me that since he is not suspended or inured, but just in "Limbo" should he have the right to pick up an extra rostered player while the Peterson issue is settled.
We do not have an IR classification in our league for protecting players.
I am open to all feedback, but please keep it productive. It's my first year as commissioner, and want to do the right thing by all.
