reserve squad- How does your league run it? (1 Viewer)

[Enoch]

I am looking for a few examples of rules for reserve squad/taxi players. Like to see my League add some type of reserve squad.

We start 12 each week and only have 24 man roster & then cut to 20 every year for the draft. Makes it hard to keep young project players.

Some owner "like me" want more roster, few other don't, they want more WW players. Thinking this could be good for both

I like see a few set of rules on RS player

Plus-Just to make sure I not over doing things. Is adding a 3 man RS/IR to the above seem OK

Thanks for any info

16 teams - 45 man rosters

8a. TAXI SQUAD: The Taxi Squad may only consist of NFL Rookies. Players must be designated for the Taxi Squad no later than 5 days before the first game of the NFL season.  A player may be promoted from the Taxi Squad to the Active Roster at any time, however once a player is on any teams Active Roster, they may not be demoted to the Taxi Squad. Each team is allowed 3 Taxi Squad slots. During the season, ANY owner may sign a player from ANY other owners Taxi Squad by posting the request on the leagues message board and emailing the original owner concerning the steal attempt. The original owner of the player will then have 72 hours to decide if if they want to promote the player to their active roster or forefit him. The owner making the claim must provide compensation to the original owner. Compensation will be in the form of a draft pick in the next years rookie draft. equal to ONE round higher than the player was originally drafted in.  If a player was drafted in the 1st round, compensation will be a 1st and 2nd round draft pick.  If a player went undrafted in the rookie draft, compensation will be a 5th round pick. To make a claim you must own a pick in that round for the next rookie draft prior to the claim. If multiple picks are owned in that round then it will be at the discretion of the owner losing the player on which pick they want.  A player claimed from a Taxi Squad must be placed on the new teams Active Roster.  Taxi Squad players are not permitted to be traded; they must be promoted to the Active Roster to become a tradeable commodity.  Commisioners discretion will be used in disputes regarding adequate time to acknowledge the steal attempt in relation to the 72 hours and personal vacation/away schedules.

We use a Developement Squad.

Max of 2 players who were acquired during the summer Rookie/FA draft. Once they are on there, you can not use them for the year. They do not count against your Contract Cap as they do not have a Contract. You can however trade a player on the DS to another team who must then sign them to a contract.

This is our way of letting guys draft a rookie that they know will not have impact this season and not have to use valuable roster/contract space.

The following spring, during our signing period, you must cut, trade or sign that player to a long term contract.
