About trading
Most owners were here for the old league but for those who weren't or for those who forgot I am going to post a little something about trades so people understand how things work.
1) Nothing is agreed upon until it goes in the agreed trades thread. If an owner and another owner agree on something and then one of those owners refuses to talk to another owner at all about a trade because he has already 'agreed' on somethign I will see that as being a bad owner. This isn't about giving words and agreeing on things. It's about bettering YOUR team. That should be what you are trying to do. Better your team. If you are refusing to give another owner a chance to outbid becaue you have an agreement then that is not being a good owner.
2) Trades can be outbid. So by not talking to a potetntial interested owner you are setting your self up for any trade you make to be outbid when it goes in the agreed threads anyway. Not talking to other owners about trades also makes more work for me when the agreed trade thread comes because if there are then outbid attempts from owners you refused to talk to its just more junk I have to deal with and clean up. DONT DO THAT!
3) The team a player is on when a season ends and his contract runs out will get a 10% phantom (loyalty) bonus taked on to its bid on that player in free agency.
4) Any player can be traded even players that you traded for.
5) The only time a player can be resigned is in free agency. Restricted free agents and franchise tag players can be tagged and then will also be available in free agency to be bid on with compensation. Since these players must accept or deny contracts I will decide whether or not they sign offer sheets from other teams based on current market value.
6) If one trade you plan on putting in the agreed trades thread is dependant on another trade in there then it would be best if you turned it into a 3 way trade (even if it's not really a 3 way trade) that way if it is busted by an outbid you are not stuck with a trade you didn't want.

Yeah, I want to clear that up because on my thread I saw 2 other bids on a guy I already agreed on trading already and I didn't consider their bids due to the fact that I wanted the draft pick. In a situation like that, is that ok to do?

Well obviously as it is in regards to me you might think I am being biased however: If you agree to something, but not in the agreed trades thread, its not binding. But if you like the deal you have, you dont have to back out if another offer comes, you can choose whichever one you like to then agree on, the one you think is the highest offer.
Obviously if one offer wipes the floor with another offer, you are obliged to take that. But if you prefer the other, for whatever reason, and the reason is legitimate (so as to avoid any accusations of say, colluding) then thats ok. If that makes sense?

Perfect. Thats what I was wondering because since I like my team, there are only one or two spots to fill in, I want to fill them with the draft though so I'm not really seeking players (hence the reason I chose to except your trade of the 3rd round pick over the other ones)

All I am saying is to allow owners to offer on trades you already have pending. If you don't like their offer you can turn them down, but give them the chance don't just say (no I've already agreed) because by league rule there is no 'agreed' till its in the agreed trades thread.
Which reminds me... I am adding something to the first post so if you already read it, read it again

UPDATE:
For CPU teams
1) they will not trade a player that will give them more than a $3 mil cap hit.
2) Make your trade offers in thier threads. Don't IM me. If I am interested in an offer I will IM you.
3) Don't waste your time making offers that don't benefit the team you are offering to. I'm not a pushover on trades.
Most of my action with CPU teams will probably take place as outbids when the Agreed Trade Thread is posted.

Couldn't agree more. I know in real Madden the CPU agrees to just about anything. Not cool lol.
Anyways, posted an offer to the Browns when you get a chance Cash.

Well, there were 2 trades involved by the same person that involved picks they did not have.

Yeah.. I figured that would happen since I didn't have the Picks updated yet on the pages and the new members probably figured they got all the picks...
But "ANYONE" could have double checked HERE while I was trying to get stuff done to make sure they weren't being traded picks the other person didn't have... especially veteran owners..

Didn't I say something a while back about people talking trades way too soon?
I guess I just thought it real loud in my head.
