Dropping Favre (1 Viewer)

[JohnnyU]

No one in any of my leagues have dropped him yet.

 

[FavreCo]

I'll drop him as close to the start of the seaon as possible. With our retirement rule, I own the rights for 1 year after drop date.

Could you please explain how your retirement rule works? I'd be curious to see if it might work in my league. Thanks.

 

[Illegal Pants Downfield]

I'm holding him right up until 'payday' in my league.

I think it's a very slim chance, but there's been a lot of speculation that Favre's competitive nature will get the best of him as the season approaches, and he'll 'unretire'. I'll keep him on my roster and give him that chance.

It's pretty simple really. If a player files the papers for retirement, you can still keep him on your team. Once you release him, you state that he is retired and therefore you have 1 year from the day he is off your 18 man roster.Ricky Williams retired once. He then unretired and the owner had to either bring him back on to his 18 man roster or allow other teams to pick him up, with no compensation.Now if he 'retires' and doesn't file the paperwork (someone did that recently - Jake Plummer), then he is not considered retired.

 

[TheAristocrat]

So Favre isn't retired yet?

 

[FavreCo]

I'm explaining our rule. The 'he' above doesn't refer to Favre. It refers to our rule.

 

[Buckeyedawgs]

I loved the dude. Won a heck of a lot of $$$ with him over the years. But needless to say I chickened out and traded him all 4 dynasty teams I owned him last year figureing this time was comeing. I did regrett it last year but got guys like Hackett, Kitna, draft picks, and help in other areas and happy I did now.

With that said I would hold onto him until draft day or when you have to free up a spot.

Depending on your league rules I guess. He won't come back!

A proud past owner of Brett!

Do your leagues have off-season waivers or something? I can't fathom a reason why someone would drop any player before they have to, if there is no benefit to freeing up the roster spot.

 

[David Yudkin]

I would wait until Favre offically files his paperwork with the league . . . whenever that is.

Yes, all my leagues except one has off-season add/drops. As a matter of fact, I don't know many leagues that don't. It's idiotic not not allow add/drops in the off-season for dynasty leagues.

 

[redman]

I'm wondering whether anyone traded Favre between the championship game and now. Anyone?

 

[Moe Green]

He'll be back.

It's idiotic to allow them. Kind of defeats the purpose, and fun, of having a vet auction or draft if everyone was picking guys up all off-season long each time a new signing happened.

We do have a draft, it's called the rookie draft. Dynasty means all year, so to lock the rosters in the off-season is idiotic. However, in one league we have blind bidding most of the week, then FCFS after that. All other leagues is FCFS in the off-season, except for the rookie draft, which we have in all leagues.

 

[radballs]

Depends on number of teams and roster sizes. I would say he's still definitely a hold in any offensive only leagues that hold more than 300 players between all teams.

I've got him and won't dump him unless I have a certifiable starter at that or another position.

I understand what dynasty needs, but selecting players during a time of constant change isn't really the ideal way to have a level playing field.Not trying to be rude, but if you are ok with playing in leagues with FCFS as the primary waiver system then I don't expect you're going to see the point of wanting to wait until things have settled down and then having a vet draft or at least a queued up waiver so everyone is on an even footing.

 

[cstu]

With so many people saying they'd hold onto him, I'd try to trade him for a draft pick. Somebody might be willing to take a chance on him.

You never know. Funny but I'm sure other owners would say something.I could see it now.redman: Moe Green, why did you trade a 2nd rounder away for Favre? Moe Green: He'll be back.redman: JohnnyU, you rubbed Moe Green.JohnnyU: He made offer to me.

Has Fav...re filed his paper work yet? I've only seen one team in all my dynasty leagues drop him so far.

 

[JPeso]

Are you able to pick up and drop FAs right now? If so, I'd make the move. My cuts aren't for another month so I am waiting.

Yes, we can add/drop in all 6 of the dynasty leagues I play in. I probably won't drop Favre until our draft, unless someone drops a player that I really like. There isn't much on the WW.

That's my thoughts, what benefit do you have to drop him now? I guess to answer your question, you wait as long as you can, and whenever that is for your league, that's when you drop him.If I was in a league where the date for dropping players was tomorrow and I had to pick between him and another guy, I'd drop Farve, I believe he's done.

Lets picture Romo, Brady, Manning, hassleback, or Rogers going down to season ending injury. You are the GM. Do you call Favre? If you are Favre and you are handed the keys to a superbowl contender in October do you take them? I'm not so certain he is done.

I may call Farve, but he wouldn't answer the phone.He was on a team that lost in overtime in the NFC Championship game. He was on a team where they lost to the SB winners in overtime.So, being on a contender isn't the issue. In fact, he'd damage his reputation if he did come back and play for another team, whether he went on to win another SB for another team or not.He's done.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

The only thing i could ever envision and would be a great story is this:

Green Bay is in 1st place in their division, things are going well. All of a sudden A. Rodgers gets injured and he's out, indefinately and the Packers ONLY need a QB or you can kiss this season good bye in terms of winning a championship.

For the love of the Packers and his teammates, then and only then would I give it a small percentage of a chance.....but if it's the Cowboys or anyone else, he doesn't do it......nor would I blame him.

I'm a fan of veteran players being in the rookie draft, it adds to the strategy, especially in the later rounds.

I can see blind bidding in the off season, but FCFS?

 

[redman]

Why do you guys who are supporters of Favre's value going forward think that Favre, whose career has been known for extreme lapses and monumental mistakes that have only been outdone by the great plays he's made, will return to pro football after 8, 9, 10 (more?) months without practicing and not throw bushels of INT's?

My dynasty league opens FA sometime in June but there are no roster limit requirements until after the final preseason game, so no need to do a drop. I like how that works... like with NFL teams you get a chance to take a few fliers on FAs without hurting your roster. Makes sense, because the normal roster limit is exceeded after the rookie draft anyway.

So we can trade him to Packer homers?

I DO NOT believe that Brett Favre will ever return to play football but PFT reported that he has yet to officially file his retirement papers.

Whatever that's worth.

I'm hearing rumblings that if Favre files his paper work after June 1st it will give the Packers more cap room than if he would file them now. Based on this I believe the cap relief would go from $11.4M to $12M. I don't have anything to back this up, nor can I confirm it being accurate. TT has also stated that he is in no rush for Favre to file the papers, the team has plenty of cap room now.
