Any chance we could get retired players as a "type" in there?  (e.g. Jerry Azumah is still listed as UFA).

Just bumping my question since it looks like some of the admins are checking in here now and it may have been lost earlier.In my contract league we get salary cap relief for dropping a player that retired (as opposed to dropping active players). I had Azumah and was able to get the relief for him, but I dropped Dat Nguyen before he announced. Some of these retirements seem to be under the radar so I think it would be cool if they were tracked like these free agency moves.

I can't add a category [i'm not the coder] but I'm sure Doug Drinen will chime in if that's possible. In the meantime, you'll note that I changed Azumah's name to Jerry Azumah [Retired]

Here is a question for everyone.

Should a player that a team resigns be considered a nuetral move according to the improvement of the team for the next year? How would you determine it in value?

After a quick thought I'm on both sides, possibly 3 sides, for the first question. I'd be willing to argue that resigning players can be a positive for a team as the players gain more experience working as a group. Some of the younger guys are are still improving as they gain more knowledge and a better understanding of the game/system. Older vets may be slowing down but how would you value the leadership and does that add as a positive?

I'd also counter-argue myself and say resigning a player could also be a negative. If Indy resigned Vandy, would the negatives resulting from a team chemistry concept out-weigh the positives he brings as a kicker (which is another arguement by itself)?

I'd be interested in hearing what others think and how you would value a team retaining players.

I think that, for determining improvement / decline since last year, you have to count it as neutral. It's certainly huge that Seattle retained Shaun Alexander, but it's no more huge than New England retaining Brady or Chicago retaining Urlacher. To me it wouldn't make any sense to count one and not the rest.I went ahead and ran the numbers for you:

Here is a question for everyone.

Should a player that a team resigns be considered a nuetral move according to the improvement of the team for the next year? How would you determine it in value?

After a quick thought I'm on both sides, possibly 3 sides, for the first question. I'd be willing to argue that resigning players can be a positive for a team as the players gain more experience working as a group. Some of the younger guys are are still improving as they gain more knowledge and a better understanding of the game/system. Older vets may be slowing down but how would you value the leadership and does that add as a positive?

I'd also counter-argue myself and say resigning a player could also be a negative. If Indy resigned Vandy, would the negatives resulting from a team chemistry concept out-weigh the positives he brings as a kicker (which is another arguement by itself)?

I'd be interested in hearing what others think and how you would value a team retaining players.

You're overcomplicating this. When I look at what happened to a team, I want to know if it has improved or declined from the previous year. If the team retains a player, then it hasn't changed in that area. Whatever negative you want to associate with Vanderjagt 2006 was already there in Vanderjagt 2005, so it's neutral by definition.

To keep this simple I agree, and my intentions were to add complications, but you're right and it probably is a bit too much or not needed for this discussion. I was going in a different direction and also didn't use the correct wording to properly descibe my intentions.
