Thursday Free Agency Rules

In Week 10, the NFL begins scheduling Thursday games. This means that our free agency process may be affected next week. We should discuss possible alterations to our current free agency system. Here are some of the proposals:

1. Make free agency open from the moment the Monday Night game ends--but each person is still allowed only one pick per week.

2. Shorten the time limit between picks (to, say, eight hours).
3. Keep the free agency order, but at a designated time, open it up to anybody (could be as early as Tuesday evening, could be as late as Wednesday night).
4. Skip Brad

Note that I have combined the previous three rules because while each could be implemented independently, we could also implement two or three of these rules together.

I'll add another proposal that hasn't been proposed yet.

5. Keep the current rules with one exception. If you wish to select a player that is active in Thursday's game, you are allowed to jump the free agency order. HOWEVER, if you jump the order to select a player, you must start that player on Thursday night (if stay in order and pick a player active on Thursday, you are not required to start him: only if you jump the order).

These are ideas. I think we need to make some sort of alteration, even if it is just the "Skip Brad" rule.

Discuss these rules, propose new rules, vote, etc.
