Thin Spirit 0 Posted July 20, 2004 Good question. I would say the player has to have at least worn a jersey and pads on the sideline during an NFL game in order to be able to pick him up (this covers backup QBs and RBs) The only exception should be rookies and/or free agents signed this year.

I'm game with them having to be on the rosters as well Of course Eli should be San Diego. They freakin drafted him and he was on their roster.

They had his rights only. Again I'll say. Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, Kellen Winslow Jr, etc cannot be drafted in this league then until they have been signed? They may go into the season unsigned, which has happend before. By your way of thinking, they need to be signed to be on the roster. :ph34r: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuardBum 73 Posted July 21, 2004 No I think they should be eligible to be drafted by their current projected teams. Even if they aren't it wouldn't matter to that team because they would be exclusive to them anyway. Why fill our own roster slot with a rookie that won't play until he is signed and then officially on the roster? Manning was never on the Chargers roster (being listed on a draft board does not make it so) therefore he will be exclusive to the team he does sign for, which will be the Giants.

yanko 11 Posted July 21, 2004 i thought we decided they had to be on the roster? both eli and vick were drafted by the chargers though... I'm game with them having to be on the rosters as well The rules as it is for the baseball league is quite simple. Either the player has logged at least 1 game for the team in question or he's about to play for that team (i.e. a draft pick or free agent signing). That's it. If the player was a draft pick but never played for the team and there is no current sitution where he is expected to then he isn't eligible. Now people, quit trying to steal my QB. He's the only freak'n guy that is an exclusive for me at that position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GuardBum 73 Posted July 21, 2004 There are no minor leagues in football. You either make the roster or are cut. Baseball drafts players who normally don't get to the bigs for 3-4 seasons (unless you're KC) and when you make the big league squad its because they need you to play. You don't sit on a roster and never log AB for for than maybe a few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Different circumstances here. That would be true. He should be an exclusive for you. There is no way the Packers should be able to draft Brooks since he never played for them. According to the Geek Homer baseball league as according to McBonkhead said player needs to log at least one game to be eligible. Being on the roster isn't good enough you have to have "played" for the team. Brooks never did that with the Packers, I don't think, so he should be exclusive to you.

Well I haven't been here as much as you guys so I didn't know it was decided. I thought it would be just like the current league we got going (i.e. need to have recorded a game played or is joining the team this year with the assumption that he will get his recorded game once the season starts.) What was wrong with that rule that it had to be changed for this league? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's my only possible exclusive QB available to me and that would be a big factor for me one way or the other before I can draft.

But he got the ball rolling with the league so I will defer to him. As for assurance - it seems that most issues are put to a vote here. I see no reason why Eli shouldn't be considered an exclusive Giant. The parallel being drawn is with Aaron Brooks. In my mind Brooks is not an exclusive Saint. He at least suited up and was on the GB active roster as far as I know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
