I wasn't under the impression that guys could be claimed like in real life off the practice squad scenario. It lessens what I am getting at with this honestly.

Well yeah if we're going to have a practice squad of course other teams can claim your players that's how the practice squad works. Otherwise it's basicly just adding 2 bench spots of guys you don't have to pay which I think sounds pretty ridiculous in a league like this especially if the point of the rule is to make it more like running a real nfl team .

I understand how the NFL practice squad works... But some dynasty leagues don't allow them to be claimed like the NFL. So I'm sorry that I didn't know that was the same here.

If that were the case, then there would have to be measures put in place to prevent tanking, like you were talking about. Whether is is no 1st rounders on taxi squad or whatever. Or else guys could just keep their best rookies out of their lineups all year for a better pick next year.

Who came up with the name taxi squad? That alone is reason enough to vote against this.

This would make 2nd rounders a little more valuable as they are usually higher variability guys and if I’m going to invest in those types of prospects, I’d rather do it on a $1 contract instead of a $2. If they aren’t taking up a roster spot/cap room, those 2nd rounders become more enticing.
Who would track all this though?

We would have to create a separate thread for taxi squad movements, similar to what we did for COVID-IR.

We won't have a FA pool if this passes. Injuries can already ruin teams playoff chances and it's hard enough to find a replacement or make trades with some owners. Also would probably complicate the QB rule even further. This would work for a smaller league but not for a league of our size. Just to confirm, you are aware that under this proposal, the teams you're referring to re: injuries/ruined playoff chances can claim anyone off of another team's practice squad to fill those spots, right? Also, we could make a rule that a team could not claim another starting QB off of another team's practice squad, just as they cannot currently sign or trade one in-season. Point taken re: the size of the league though. That's a legitimate concern re: the FA pool. I just don't think it's any more difficult to acquire a player from signing them off another team's PS vs. bidding in FA.

My point with the QB rule is that teams will use the taxi squad to abuse the rule even further.

My point with the QB rule is that teams will use the taxi squad to abuse the rule even further. They cannot, though. If they choose to claim a starting QB on someone's PS (Which, we may even further negate by saying, if you have a now starting QB on your PS that is not your current QB's direct backup, you must either activate or relinquish him--which would also mean you had to get rid of your other QB within two weeks), that team must first give up their current QB via cut, as it would be treated like a bid on a FA QB is currently.

Further, if a team did in fact force the league's hand to step in and force trade, it would occur just like it does before the season begins, via the QB Arbitration Panel, thus ensuring that nobody gets bent over a barrel so to speak, as circumstances are very much considered in that process. Nobody is going to exploit another team's QB situation that way, and the league will make certain of that.

Well my point is that say your starting QB gets benched or hurt. I have the back up for your QB on my taxi squad. You go to activate the QB off my taxi squad. I have 24 hours to activate him over you because he's on my squad. Now I force you to trade for one of my QBs. You don't think that's abusing the rule?
