Last season we had an issue in the free agent draft which led me to suspending trading during both the rookie and the free agent draft. Please refer to http://www.aaroncraneinstitute.com/football/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?12612.last

I am open to considering allowing trading during the drafts, but would like to hear from the members on this.

Im fine with suspending during drafts. If you do it, there probably needs to be some guide lines spelled out by you. No voting .

I would like to see trading allowed - with some restrictions. The Rookie draft doesn't really make a difference. If I can't trade a pick - I just make the selection for the other team and then make the trade after the draft. I think the FA draft is the one to worry about.

We did allow trading during the drafts the first few years I was commissioner, but last year's fiasco caused me to suspend it. I also would like to see trading allowed. But we cannot repeat least year's mess. So for trading to be allowed during the drafts (remember, by league rule there is no trading in the Free Agent Draft once the $2.0mil salary rounds begin), I'd require the following....

1) Trades would have be announce AND confirmed in the appropriate forum on the league website by 10PM Eastern the day before the round begins. So if you wanted to trade a 4th round draft pick, it would need to be confirmed by 10PM Eastern the day the 3rd round ended.

2) Trades become effective and would be processed in the order the trade confirmation was posted and not the order the trade was posted.

I everyone can live with those, perhaps we go back to allowing trading during the drafts?

I say No. In-draft trading requires a near instantaneous processing by the bookkeeper. I'm confident that you, Mark Blume, could keep up, but what happens when you step down? That's way too much to expect of anybody volunteering to administer the league.

As long as members abide by the rules laid out above, I believe I can handle it. But I will STRICTLY enforce it. If any subsequent Commissioner wants to suspend trading in the draft as I did last year, I don't see any reason why that could not be done.
