Hello Owners
Hello like to start off by saying thanks to all the new owners for joining us this year and all the returning owners from last year. We had a decent first year of the league last year. We had some growing pains with a new league but other then that stuff went pretty smooth. I'm always looking to ways to make this league one of the best out there in the fantasy football world. I have listed some options of changes to the league and would listen to other changes anybody would like to see. All changes will go through a poll process unless it's unanimous decision by the league to make it happen.
We have check in started on the Proboards site just click on your team name and that will show your returning. All new owners and maybe some returning owners check over the rules and make sure you good with some actions getting ready to take place. Once your checked in for returning. You may go ahead and post your Extension and Franchise Players if you want to do any. There will be also a spot for RFA players to be listed also. All these items will be listed in the correct board on the Proboard site. It's totally up to you if you would like to use these options on your players. Once this period is over the commish group will remove your expired contracts from your roster then we will be ready for the draft and free agency part.
I know this is alot to do at once but we will give it time so each owner has the correct amount of time to do it. We have plenty of time to get going but would like to get few things done before we lose track of stuff. If you have questions over anything mentioned feel free to reach out to myself or any other commish we would be glad to help you through the process. Thanks Eric

Good Morning Gm's
It was brought to my attention I forgot something to do. (HaHa) it happens some times. If you look at your roster and see your salary cap has changed I have added the Extension part from last year to your players. I should have done that before we got going but it went right over my head. This might play a big part of your actions going on now. You can see all the extensions and prices on your roster off to the right side. Extensions will be listed as EXT. Years offered for EXT will be listed years. Some players extensions prices don't take effect till next year so watch your cap. Sorry for this but it's all good to go now. Thanks for patiences Eric

Good Morning Gms
I have been going through some RFAs. I feel that owners are confused about this setup. Players with 2021 RFA are the players we are looking to list on the forums under Restricted Free Agents. Once you list those players we will begin the bidding process on them players. The players with 2022 RFA will be up next year so you can add them then and so on for all the upcoming years. I have noticed players getting posted without the RFA next to them name. Those players are invalid. I will go through tonight when I get time and list all the players that need listed there might be many this year but there will be more to come in the years ahead. Last year in the start up we did not list the real life RFA in this league. If you have any questions reach out to us and we can help. Thanks

Good Morning
Good morning GMs of the NFL Lockdown league. The time is a week away for Extensions and Tags to be signed . April 11th is the deadline and at that time we will lock the board and no other one will be posted and accepted after that time. Make sure you get those all in and listed correctly on the proboards site under the right board. Next week after that time I will be removing all 2021 contracts from your roster so we can get ready for the other portion of the league including the draft in a few weeks and RFA bidding.
The RFA Bidding has some confusion going on with it. Your player must be listed on your team page as a RFA under the 2021 contracts to be able to be listed on the board for bidding. There is not very many this year but that could be my fault for not doing it properly last year so I'm sorry about that. When the free agency part starts remember the RFA you can add to the player when bidding and that will help in the years to come in the RFA part.
Thanks for being part of this league and we will keep moving along and getting stuff ready for another great year . Thanks Eric

Good Morning
Good morning all Gm's of the league NFL Lockdown. We are wrapping up everything and getting everything processed from Extensions ,waivers, and Tags. The rookie draft will be starting soon on May 9th at 8am EST. So get those trades lined up if your wanting the rookie in the top. After the draft is over we will make sure all salaries and contracts are right from the draft then go straight in to the UFA bidding. I figure the draft will take maybe a month or so that will put us right around June for UFA process.
I will be putting a check in poll on the proboards site so everyone is checked in and ready to start the draft. I know we have had some down time but just wait it's going to get crazy in the next few weeks so be prepared to fill those rosters with good players and spend that money. Good Luck

Good Evening all owners this is the eve of the Rookie Draft. We have only a few hours until we have the New Orleans Saints OTC for the 1.01 pick in the draft. We will be tagging the next owner up on the Fantrax Chat and groupme Chat. Please try tagging up when your done picking. The commish group will try keeping your rookie salaries updated as we go, but bare with us because it takes alittle bit to do but we will get it done.
The draft has a 12 hour clock per pick with 5 rounds. Take you time and pick wisely if your time runs out this draft is set to skip picks. If your pick gets skipped its your loss we will not add a player for you. This is punishment for running the time out.
We have a new New York Giants owner welcome to the league any questions feel free to reach out to myself or anybody on the chat and we will help you. You do have a free drop to use since new owner feel free to post that on proboards under free waiver new owner.
Good Luck GMs wish you the best and leave all the good players for ME !!!!!!!

Good afternoon Gm's
We will be starting the free agency portion of the league Sunday June 5th at 12 pm EST. At this time you will be able to post any player you want too but please put them in the right group. We have some new owners this year so look over the bidding rules in the league hand book you all signed when you joined (LOL). We use a point system to determine points. This way is very important that you have that correct or your bid will be Invalid. Please do not over bid what cap you have or roster spots you have. If you over bid your team the next team will win the bid and your bids will be Invalid. The first week gets alittle crazy with all the players getting nominated so bare with the commish group trying to process all the sold ones. Your winning bid will have to wait 24 hours with no actions to consider it Sold. You may list any player you want that is a Free Agent listed on Fantrax. We have a minimum salary requirement for players so becareful listing your players. The stats can be found right on fantrax under the player then click stats and that will tell you the years he has played in the league. I'm sure there's something I'm missing but feel free to ask me any questions anytime.
Lets have fun and spend that money or give it too me. Good Luck Eric
