Never thought it would happen, but it finally has. Rotoworld has changed Terrell Suggs' positional eligibility from DE to OLB. Only a matter of time until MFL now follows suit. Suggs loses a ton of value with this news.

Going to make one of my decisions much easier.

Should we hold on to Suggs with a wait and see if his classification holds or try to trade him before others find out about the reclassification?
Im trying to trade now. This designation thing is going to be an ongoing event I think as he ages and they try different things to keep him involved.I rejected a first roudner for him last year. Ugh.Now I am struggling to get Bruce Irvin for him.

On one hand, this is troubling because I own him in a couple leagues.On the other hand, in my biggest dynasty money league my "archnemesis", and resident Ravens' jock swinger, has been abusing the DE classification on for Suggs for years(we all know he's a LB, Baltimore) whilst rubbing it in people's faces. I am going to enjoy drinking his tears more than I'm going to dislike having to make hard decisions about him in those two other leagues.Yes, I realize that's makes me petty as hell. I'm cool with it.However, doesn't rotoworld do a "final adjustment" on this kind of stuff right before the season starts? Could've swore rookies have went into camp at one position and been classified as the other after TCs.

IIRC they adjust it 2-3 times during the offseason.

I wouldn't say he is abusing the DE classification at all. I am not sure of the snap count at this time, but back when Suggs was franchised, he played more plays at DE than LB.

would be nice if MFL created a DL-LB position for players like this.

I understand why players like Jabaal Sheard or Demarcus Ware have a position switch (new defensive scheme). Ditto with Mario Williams each of the past two off seasons or a player like Aaron Kampman five years ago.However, nothing has changed in Baltimore's scheme and there is really no reason to change Suggs' IDP designation IMO. I'm not saying it can't or won't happen...just that I don't see the reason to do so. Changing something just to change it doesn't make much sense unless it's supported with a defensive scheme switch, new player acquisition where a position switch occurs, or a solid statistically supported reason for doing so.
He just wants more money

Has always been listed as LB at nfl.com, which is what both my Dynasty leagues use. Sheard and Smith are listed at DE as of now. Not hard to make a position changes on MFL

So does Jared Cook, I doubt he'll be listed as a WR next season.

My league allows me to keep a player at the position they were when I acquired them, so as long as he's on my team he'll be a DL (as is Robert Mathis). That said, if I were to trade either now, as they are currently listed as a LB, they would be a LB for the next team, so their trade value is next to nothing.That said, would Suggs be considered a top 5 DL in redraft? Mathis maybe still a top 10-15ish?

Defensive end numbers are higher.

I was able to get Greg Jennings and a 2013 second round pick 5 for Suggs in one league. I'm working on a trade in another league.

Suggs has now been moved to "LB" on MFL. Shucks.
Not sure what has changed this offseason for Rotoworld to change their position of him.

As expected, the same thing happened with Brandon Graham. I ended the season thinking I had two top DL's in Suggs and Graham and I'm now left with two LB4/5's. I can't trade them, so is there any chance they get changed back to DL's before the beginning of the season or is time to cut them?

So far so good. They say he will be moved all over the formation so we're not out of the woods yet.

I think Mario will stay as a DE. Its Ware that I'm wondering about. MFL still has him at DE though Rotoword has him at DE now
