Restricted Free Agency (RFA) works a little different than the NFL. Players go to NFL RFA based on years of service. In the NFL, teams assign "tenders" to players before RFA begins. The highest NFL tender is a 1st and 3rd round tender; meaning, if another team bids on that player and the owning team lets the player go, then the owning team is owed a 1st and 3rd round pick from the bidding team. Tenders usually scale down from that highest tender to merely a 1st rounder, then 2nd rounder, then ...
I almost called this post "the art of trading" because there is an actual art to pulling off a good trade. At the same time, trading incorporates the stock market's "buy low, sell high" mentality. You want to trade guys away at their peak and trade for guys before they start making a big impact. You can also invest in draft picks, which is like buying stock options before an IPO.

If it were me, i'd still add their names to a trade email list sent ...
There are four sections to the EFS regular season: the opening weeks, the initial run, deadline season and the playoff run. An EFS owner's focus shifts a bit across the sections. The opening weeks Coming out of preseason, you should know who your starters are, who your depth guys are, and be pretty covered for BYE weeks except for maybe your kicker and punter. You don't want to be caught short at some position when one-or-more injuries befall your team at that ...
The offseason At EFSports, there really isn't an off-season. There's a year-end rollover while owners are renewing but outside of that, EFSports continually simulates the NFL experience. The NFL off-season runs through the sping and summer holding numerous camps to instill plays and figure out who starts and who sits. In EFS after the rookie draft is over, league activity slows until the pre-season. Some owners do take breaks from EFS or personal vacations, so there's ...
