Practice Squad Players

[lcardoso]

Hello Everyone-
I am new to this league and I am still trying to figure out how to do things on the website. I just cut a player from the practice squad and tried to pick up another player. How can I check who I am trying to get off of waivers or the Free agent list? I would appreciate any help you guys could offer. Thanks

First off, welcome to EFS!

Here's how to submit a UFA Bid:

To bid on a UFA, you will need to locate the player from the FA by position link found on the navigation bar under League Moves. You may also use the FA Bid List link, which lists players that have active UFA bids already assigned. If the player’s ID # is in blue, indicating a link, he is eligible to have a UFA bid placed. Clicking this link will take you to the UFA bid screen for that player.
All UFA’s require a minimum bid of .350M with a 1-year contract. The maximum opening bid is 3.0M for 5 years. The salary number can be increased with subsequent bids but the maximum contract length is always 5 years.
During the bidding process, salaries and contracts are calculated over the life of the contract and not on an individual year basis. Even though you enter the yearly salary for the bid, the system then takes that salary and multiplies it against the total contract length to come up with the total salary figure. The total salary is then used to determine which contract the player will accept during free agency.
The salary field is the dollar amount you wish to pay the player on a yearly basis. The contract field is the number of seasons you are willing to commit the salary figure for the player. To calculate total salary multiply salary times contract (salary * contract = total salary).


Waivers:
During the 7 days that the player is on waivers, any owner may make a claim. If a player has a waiver claim by another owner, only a rival owner with a higher waiver claim position can bump the claim. To claim a player on waivers, click on the League Moves tab on the navigation bar and select waiver wire. From there, you can select a player's name to open a detailed report. Selecting that player's name again will prompt you with a "Are You Sure?" message. Once you select OK, you will have a successful claim for this player. If no one else submits a claim (with a higher status than you), you will be awarded the player on the date and time specified.
