When a rookie is picked up from WW or FCFS FA's, and it's his first time to be on a roster, does he get the "rookie bump" of 3 rounds for his "keeper value", like the draft?

A WW or FCFS FA gets the automatic "keeper value" of "10". No problems there. But, if that player is also a rookie, does his "keeper value" become a "13"?

Thanks!

I vote NO. (especially if YOU are picking up the rookie, Pachyderm)

It was the dog, not the dirty one but the smooth one (and he beat me out by $5 so I say no )

I knew I had to go high once Braylon was traded.

I think in the interests of keeping things simple, once the draft is over, the +3 rule should not apply.

I honestly agree with both points

I assume we are going to use 10 for all FA's even though we may go beyond 10 for the draft?

I see one commish saying "no". Where's the other commish on this?

If Ursa wants a vote, then I'll take the other comments into consideration.

Thanks!

My instinct tells me No, but I'll go and consult the rules.

I believe this applies from Rule 4.1:



It clearly says player, not differentiating between rookies and vets for FA and specifies a value of 10. Once the draft is over, the rookie bump isn't applied.
