This is where you post... well, the guys you're keeping for this coming season. You know the drill:
Keeper Rules
• Each owner may keep 5 players total.
• The first 5 rounds of each draft are protected and those players can not be kept.
• Each Keeper costs a draft pick based on where he was drafted. The pick moves up 2 rounds every season, including the first. Ex: A 13th round draftee would cost an 11th round pick in his first year as a keeper.
• Any Keeper not drafted is treated as a final round draftee. Ex: In a 27 round draft an undrafted Keeper will cost a 25th round pick.
• A player loses Keeper elligibility the season after costing a 1st round pick and reenters the draft pool (unless franchised).
• All rules apply regardless of owner. If a Keeper is traded or released his new owner picks up where the last left off.
• If the Keeper Cost occurs in a round where the owner has 2 picks (due to trade) he is penalized his original pick, not the acquired one, regardless of placement.
• If the Keeper Cost occurs in a round where the owner has traded out his original pick but acquired a 2nd he will be penalized that pick. Cost will not move up a round unless there are no more picks in that round. If there are 2 picks, neither original, he will lose the lowest.
• If the Keeper Cost occurs in a round in which the owner has no more picks then the price moves up one round, but will be considered its original round for the sake of longterm keeper cost. Ex: A 13th Round cost with no 13 round picks then costs a 12th round pick. For the purposes of next year's Keeper Cost, however, it will be considered a 13th Round pick. The next year the keeper will cost an 11th Round pick, not a 10th.
• You have a maximum of TWO franchise tags. You are NOT required to use either. An F1 tag deems a player as your "franchise player" and allows you to keep a player at NO COST for the following season. However, once you tag a player as an F1, if you take that tag off of said player, he is automatically returned to the draft pool for the following season. An F2 tag allows you to keep a player at half cost (only a ONE round penalty). You may change tags on a player from an F2 to an F1, but like the F1 tag, if you decide to take the F2 tag coompletely off of a player, that player is returned to the draft pool.
• If, by trade or other such shenanigans, you wind up with multiple F1 and/or F2 players on your roster at the end of a season, all tags and tag rules still apply and you must trim your roster back to a maximum of only one F1 and one F2 player when declaring keepers.
Am I missing anything? I will go back and look up (and post) everyone's existing franchise players so there is minimal confusion here.
