I do NOT wish to keep a "DP" and am willing to trade it. So, if any of you want to keep 2 players from your roster let me know. I would would get your first round pick. You will pick in rounds 2 thru 11 to complete your 12-man roster.
ReplyDeletewhat is the DP rule? we get to keep a player from our current roster?
ReplyDeleteYes. You get to keep 1 player from your current roster. You don't have to keep a DP (like me)
ReplyDeleteI am trying to trade it away to one of you guys for your first round pick.
I don't need to wait until the end of January to announce my return. The Saints are a flagship team for the BSL :)
ReplyDeleteI do have 2 players that I would love to keep, but if I trade you and one of them gets hurt or transfers during the offseason am I stuck with the deal?
The DP player you choose can be changed anytime before the draft starts.
ReplyDeleteHowever, do not trade with me your first round pick until you're sure because picks don't get injured or transfered :)
