I said it in the chat box, but that sometimes moves quickly. I think we need a rule in place around free agent bids being at the $100k mark. If it is a franchise tag and the real life salary goes to the dollar that is fine or it could be rounded up or down.
I think it is ridiculous for winning bids to be $300,005 that wins over $300,000, because it is essentially the same but wins because of the loophole in the rules. Down the road it is going to be a pain to deal with and bids are going to be all over the place. Essentially the $300,005 bid is the same as $300,000. Since the rules don't say it, technically we can have bids that are $300,000.01 and the one cent would win the bid. It seems like common sense, but there is always going to be someone that is going to play that game. To avoid this loophole, the rules need to be modified.

Love the league name too.
