Hi everyone, it's up to you whether to bid on Gardener or not. We are not applying a "this was a mistake" rule to this transaction or any other AI drops to billy's team from this last sim. In the past, we have worked to get players dropped by AI back to the right team when there was an honest mistake. Like someone signing someone during the playoffs and not realizing being over the cap mattered then seeing all their players cut. And yes, often times it happens to newer owners, who we are more forgiving with.
We are NOT giving billy the same pass. Billy knew about his cap problem. He posted a lot about it in the chat. Numerous people gave him suggestions of how to fix it. Instead, he said he would try to trade his way out of the problem. He wasn't able to execute his trade, his players got cut. What's more... it looks like despite facing all these cap problems, billy actually was bidding on players and signing free agents too! And he's being advised by GrandadB on his moves 90% of the time, so there really is no excuse for "I didn't realize this cap issue."
So while billy is allowed to ask nicely for you to not bid on his players, we will not institute a league mandate requiring so. Feel free to bid on Gardener if you want.
