It's that time again. E-mails are going out to last year's managers and their intent to return. Already one manager will not be coming back and I've been unable to reach another manager for 2-3 months.
If you have recommendations for replacement managers, e-mail me.

I am new to this league but that sure seems like an excessively high price to pay for Carson Palmer Frick you are a thief LOL. 2010 Fantasy Football Outlook- From Rotowire
At this point in his career, Palmer is only a starter when you have a bye week or an injury. He’s not even a week-to-week matchup play now coming off the horrendous 2009 season. The Bengals have an extreme lack of offensive weapons beyond Chad Ochocinco and are now a defensive-oriented team that relies on a running game and seeks to keep scores manageable. So Palmer is thus a name brand with little fantasy value outside of that.

Thanks for the emails & offers I've received. Just to make it more clear, I'm not willing to part with my 2011 first rounder. I got into this deep hole by continuing to trade away my top pick for good, but ultimately average, position players. So the buck really needs to stop even if that means I pass on a good position player this year to fill one of my obvious roster holes.
That all said, this is an excellent time for a manager to really move up in this year's draft for a player you might be considering dropping already--I've got top picks in about every round, and I have two second round picks.

Just wondering - Is there any penalty for not posting your keepers on the forum thread- 1/3 of the teams are yet to post with the deadline tomorrow- It really makes it hard to judge who will be left when people don't post timely.

PD, you still interested in Delhomme?
I might also be willing to move Vincent Jackson, he's a bit undervalued since he's going to miss some games this year, but keeper talent is clearly there.
Might have one or two other thoughts if neither of those appeal but those seem the best options... about to grab dinner, email me.

Everyone else, Delhomme or Vincent Jackson are available for draft picks... I don't want players in return... unless you want to take both of them in a 2-for-1 deal.

I can trade one of the following players for a 1 or 2 round draft upgrade:
Derrick Mason 1000 yards Charles Woodson League MVP, #1 DB Kirk Morrison, 100 tackles every year.
Some more housekeeping on keepers. If you change them, you must delete your previous thread and list them again. If your posts are not your final keepers, they should be removed. Should only be 24 replies in there so we can go through and see who has their keepers in on time so we can get to the site and run the keepers and get the site set up for the draft.
Also got to get the schedule set up and manually loaded into the db and i takes awhile to check that for mistakes and it is so easy to make mistakes that it always happens.

90: usually we count the number of keeper posts and then figure out who hasn't posted, but that thread is a mess this season so not sure how many we are short for sure just yet. If it's only three then we are in good shape as those three managers have been actively dealing and should be no issue.
91: correct as stated in keeper thread
92: Since the 4.15 was made in trade response and not offer, I will need a confirmation from frick before I can process the trade.
Man, what I was willing to take for Berrian before now no longer is relevant. I will be keeping him after all. I wanted to anyhow--just wasn't sure who I'd toss. I would definitely be doing some things different if I managed some of the teams, but what's great is that we all have differing ideas and values on players and I am sometimes off-base just like everyone else.
Last chance to get a deal on:RB Fred Jackson (scored over 1000 yds last season and still listed as Buffalo starting RB and will be ready for week 1 though he has company). Planned on keeping him and will still love to keep.
WR Austin Collie (Has been the best slot guy in camp and outplayed Garcon and AGonz. AGonz could move to WR2. Still merky at wideout for sure). I simply don't have room to keep.
K Mason Crosby (top 4 or 5 projected K). definite Keeper but numbers game.
LB Brian Cushing (if not for 4 game suspension one of the top projected points getter IDP). I'm still trying to figure out a way to keep him. Who do I cut for him????

We will be running CBS Keepers manually sometime after Noon.
Looks like I may be heading away from computer in a couple mins and may not get ack until after Noon. If you email me a trade confirm or updated keepers by Noon, they will count. If I make them I will send them to Cards or another manager for verification.

Trade announcement:
Doug's Oakland Raiders trade:
Jake Delhomme + 4.12 + 5.12
to
Perm Dude's Cleveland Browns for
2.24 + 4.21
And a conditional pick (this is where ref tears his hair out):
If Delhomme is a top 20 QB (per CBS rankings) at the end of 2010, Oakland and Cleveland will swap 2011 first round picks. If he is top 21-25 we swap second round picks. 26+ we swap third round picks. This conditional swap is nullified in the case that the Browns finish ahead of the Raiders at the end of the 2010 season.

OK made it back.
Your Keepers may not be changed after Noon UNLESS You made a deal that was accepted before that time and then you may only change that traded player.
It's crazy how much back and forths I've had in the past 30 mins. One just responded two mins ago and was bummed cuz he didn't get one of my responses until it was too late. Weird how everyone put things off so late, but I'm proud that I dropped players instead of taking the lowball offers as it should help me more in the top part of the draft which is the most important anyhow.

Doug and PD, I've processed your deal and noted it in the rules. Please double check it. I need to go back and edit the conditions to save space, but I can do that later. Check both '10 and '11 traded picks in the rules.
Can everyone please delete their posts that are no longer valid in keepers? DS usually cleans up posts when there are mistakes or people can't delete because they posted from a different computer, but he is unable to do so. I need to figure out if all 24 teams are accounted for, so I can start double checking things on CBS and dump all non-keepers with a click of a button.

Trade notes in rules looks good to me... "CBS Rankings" could just be replaced with "G24 scoring" to be clear... it's if he's top 20, etc. based on our scoring rules, rankings to me could imply something else. I'm not terribly worried about it, I think we all know what the intent is here.
I noticed Slackjawed didn't post Ted Ginn in the thread (I assume a drop since he lists 9 keepers).
Keepers posted in the other thread in this sequence. Coldwater and slackjawed have "edit" posts that modify previous posts (ideally those would be deleted and consolidated into 1 new post). Any of the ones marked with * are I think superceded by later posts and probably should be deleted.
I'll delete the updated keeper posts, and edit the ones as necessary. Gimme ten minutes to polish them up.

Huge help Doug and PD!!!
All 24 have posted in time. The two who posted after the deadline only replaced players who were legally traded prior to the deadline.
I think if there would have been a later deadline, there would have been more deals, but we have to cut it off at some point and we do need time to get the site set up.
I am not going through to see that the keepers match. I will go through and make sure there are 9 checked. If there are mis-marked keepers you need to alert us BEFORE the draft starts. The keeper thread is official.

Non-Keepers have now been processed. A couple forgot to mark their keeps so it took me a little longer.
The schedule is coded and is based on the order of finish in your division at the end of the regular season. There is a SOS factor for two games based on last season's finish. I will get it uploaded into CBS soon. The post is pretty self-explanatory. Feel free to post in that thread as well. If you see any issues, let me know.

Vikings do not own a 4th round pick via this trade: 12-3 Vikings receive 49ers' 1st for his 4th (Maroney/Ringer)
therefore, this trade is now in question and needs to be adjusted asap: 8-24 Packers get Vikings 4.15 for their 6th roudner (McGahee)

I made the change and changed it in the rules as well.
Once you have made your 11 picks your draft is over. You can trade extra picks before your draft is over and before that pick comes up. So if you found someone a pick short you could trade 2 picks for an upgrade in one of your picks.

That's why I sent that email out!
On the McGahee trade it has 6 in there and ersponse said 4th. Maybe it was a 6th and then changed to a 4th (and ultimately a 3rd). If that's the case, there is no problem amending that.
Yes there are teams who intentionally go into the draft with more draft picks than needed in hopes of trading for higher picks.
