This proposal is to officially alter the individual defensive points and roster settings for the NFL league. The following proposal will need a 2/3 majority vote to pass (8 affirmative votes). Everyone must vote.
Points
The defensive player points would be changed to permanently reflect the current scoring settings. The settings are relatively balanced among the different defensive positions, and made to be slightly lower than skill position players.
Roster Changes
To make the new scoring settings work there would need to be some roster changes. Here are the proposed changes:
- Removal of the Defensive Tackle and Defensive End roster spaces, maintain the all-inclusive Defensive Line slot
- Addition of a second Linebacker slot
- Maintain both Defensive Back slots
Payroll Changes
As a result of the scoring changes, defensive players will be given more value, which will likely lead to an increase in their salaries.
- The NFL payroll will be increased to $320 (a $30 increase). The total payroll of $1,000 will not be changed.
- Any defensive player currently on contract for less than $10 per year has an owner option of being released to free agency or paid a flat price of $10 per year for the remainder of the contract
- Chicago Fire have the option of re-adding Luke Kuechly since he was dropped thinking his price did not reflect the points before the scoring change (I believe he is the only defensive player released during the offseason, but if there are any others the same applies)
I believe this covers everything but if I missed an important aspect let me know. Feel free to express any thoughts on the issue either on here or through a personal message to me. Everyone think about it a little bit and submit your vote. Once this is resolved we will begin preparation for the NFL prospect draft.
