Up until this point, we have not had rules that say a keeper goes back into the draft at the end of the 2 years. I am being told by members of my league that this was suppose to be assumed. However, if he was cut from his team, I don't see how he isn't available for anyone to pick up? I guess the problem is that we did not have spelled out rules. If we had a rule that said a player went back into the draft at the end of his 2 years, then I obviously would not have picked him up... thanks for all the input!

It was midway through the season at some point, not sure exactly

I DID have intent on keeping him this year when I picked him up. In the past, we have been able to keep FA pickups. There has never been the issue that a FA was also a last year keeper. I guess I didn't realize that this was an assumed rule that keepers un eneligible. I was just thinking I was a "savvy" owner. Seems like the rules will need to be clarified, going forward. Interested to hear more replies...

He was aquired off FA pool, not from waiver wire. Everyone had equal opportunity to aquire him.

Just looking for some opinions here... I am in a 10 man keeper league, each year we pick a 2 year keeper so we end up having a 2 yr keeper and a 1 yr keeper each year. We have not had stipulations on who you can keep (ie.. FA that you picked up have been fair game and they do not have to be drafted after a certain round..etc) Last year, when Adrian Peterson was suspended, another owner who had him for his final year of the 2 years, dropped him. He was then able to pick up an additional player on his roster and have better options for winning the rest of the season. (since we have initiated keepers, it has been allowed to drop them if injured or just were not good anymore) SO, during his suspension, i picked up AP and let him sit on my roster for the rest of the year so that i can keep him this year. A few people in my league feel that he needs to be available to everyone at the draft as he was just recently a keeper (this has not been a rule in the past). My argument is that he became a FA when he was dropped and i picked him up, therefore making him eligible to keep this year. THOUGHTS? (this will help us decided prior to our draft this year) thanks!
