I have Matt Leinart & Montario Hardesty on one roster, for example.

I am trying to pick up 5 free agent, but I want to guarantee myself that they these (2) guys get released from my roster first. Is there a way to do this with the new software?

Thanks.

That wouldn't be a software question. If you place the highest bid for your free agent acquisitions then you would be able to drop Leinart and Hardesty. There are no guarantees you'll do so with Blind Bidding. It all comes down to whether you spend the highest amount or not within your league. Good luck.

Thanks Tom.....Is there a way that I can just outright drop them? I just want them off my roster being they are dead space.

I know the problem I've had in the past is that I would try to drop someone like Hardesty when bidding on say another RB and I dont get him, but then I would get another player I bid on say a WR, but my second release choice would be dropped and Id still be stuck with Hardesty.

Do you follow me?

I would like to see an outright drop button where guys can just be dropped.

You cannot drop a player without picking someone up to replace him. You must have a complete roster at all times. There is no outright drop option in any of the NFFC leagues.

i know how you would do this last year is you would put a $500 bid on jackson and a $200 bid on stroughter under hardesty. then he would put in a $199 bid for stroughter under julius jones. That way, if he gets outbid on Jackson, his Stroughter bid attached to hardesty is the winner, rather than his stroughter bid attached to julius jones.

i haven't done it yet THIS year otherwise i'd chime in and help.

Yes that is correct chris.........does it work the same way Tom this year?

It would be nice if there was just a way to generate a list of the guys you wanted to release in order.

No it does not. The highest bid amount will be awarded. That's the same way it's been done every year in our event.

i know the way i proposed worked 100% just fine for me last year.
