I play in a couple of other Dynasty IDP leagues and in them we have practice squads were we are allowed like 6 players to be on it and all players on it have to be under 3mil and at any time some one can offer a bid for more than the player is being payed and unless you match the bid and place the player on your active roster the other team gets the player for the amount bid. this allows your team to get young or unproven players with potential (like draft pics) and let them develop with out counting against your active roster. We place a cap on the practice squad also, but once the player has been taken off the practice squad he can not be placed back on the practice squad. Just thought I would throw this out there and see if this may be something of interest for are league, it really helps since this is a Dynasty League to get some young guys and hold on to them for there potential and not take a spot needed for a starter, just food for thought guys.

I like this Idea, right now our setup doesn't allow for keeping hold of those players who are too much of a reach to actually hold any value, i'm talking about those players who are like 3rd string QBs or 5th String WRs, we just can't afford to hold on to those players and they just get lost in free agency and never heard of again, this is a dynasty league right it is a league based on knowing the little guy, that breakout benchwarmer, this would allow us to make that a reality!

Make this topic a poll Oak and get the league to vote on it

I have seen this idea, but to be honest, I've never thought of putting anything like this in our league. We'll talk it over in staff and see what we come up with.

I know this is old hat, but what about a PS exclusively for draft picks? With a low limit on players like we have, stockpiling draft picks is pointless unless your roster is complete garbage. The way it is now, you really only need a couple draft picks to get maybe 1 starter and a depth guy or two. If we had a draft-picks only PS, this would increase the value of later draft picks and make trading for picks more worthwhile.

Interesting idea, This idea hasn't passed a few time, but this is a different wrinkle we could maybe talk about again...

Don't like the idea, the FA pool is so thin to begin with. I understand the idea people could bid on them, but that team has 1st option.
We need a FA pool to keep bottom teams competative, this will hurt I believe.

We could make it like the NFL. Practice Squad guys can be signed to the active roster on other teams, but the current team gets the chance to match the offer and activate the player to the active roster (while cutting someone else, if necessary). Just a thought.

As most know i am the first to oppose things that limit the FA pool. (and probably the most annoying at mentioning it so much)
*but this option with the opportunity to allow other teams to bid on them for an immediate ACTIVE roster spot~ with the current Practice Squad holder always having the option to match the offer.....adds a nice twist.
I am still against limiting our FA pool I believe it is the life blood of a competitive league, along with rookie draft picks is the true method for any owner to build his team...not contract extensions & franchise tags & transition tags and all the other tricks to keep the built teams on top.

we dont like the practice squad.it would really thin the pool to nothing.if you take 5 players and put on a team to hold.take a look at the pool now not counting the guys dropped after the season.ask your self do you see 160 players in the pool.with 32 team theres not alot to go around as it is.if you want to get the hot players you have the be a hard hitter when they get hot and make the moves to get them.rather they are on a p squad or in the free agent pool the players are there to be got.if they are on a p squad that is one move place you have to look for players.you would have to look at each team to find the player vrs now just in f agent.thats my thinking.

I agree with J-E-T-S on this one. As much as I love the idea of a practice squad, I think that by keeping players out of the free agent pool, it keeps these players away from the rebuilding teams, and in the end is bad for the league.

I like the idea of a practice squad, but I'll be danged if I will agree to let another Team force me to roster a guy or lose him. If we have a limited time a player can be on the Practice squad thats one thing, but to have someone place a bid and steal the player, Nah, if he is on my practice squad, he isn't good enough to be on my active roster, YET. Maybe just waiting on a starting gig to break out. eg, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Michael Turner.
If I happen to put in the due diligence and research a guy that I think will break out, I shouldn't have to give that player up. Its like penalizing an Owner for being active and doing his research to build his team. Early bird gets the worm.
Also, the primary means that a player could be placed on a practice squad is by bidding, so technically everyone has access to all players before they get on a roster or practice squad. Some may be drafted but, in theory, if a drafted player goes on a practice squad they are a late round pick and everyone has had access to these players also.
Just adding to the discussion

I like hearing discussion here, I was one of the originators of this idea a while back, while it has been shot down more than one time, and I don't think I'm wanting to bring back another vote on it right now. Maybe one day we will have one. Not sure how near that day is, but never hurts to discuss for the future.

If we have a practise sqaud, we should have a way to bid and force someone to move him to active.
I think we should not have the practise squad, but if we do see comment above.
This league is really tough to take over a crappy team and come back, so we do need the FA market to have some sort of chance to rebuild. Adding to a practise squad will just make this even tougher.

I agree with Tennessee. If we are going to have a practice squad, then a way to bid on that player will allow new owners a chance to build their team with FA and not have the best teams hoarding players that will be on practice squads.
