2005 Free Agents?

I go to the free agent link but all I see is the 2004 Rankings. Any idea how we can bid on 2005 players?

Didn't Tom say Monday for free agents?

As Tom said in another post and his broadcast email, the free agent system won't be turned on until Monday at the earliest to insure that they are correct. All the rosters must be corrected (wrong Lopez, etc.) so that no players actually on a roster will appear in error on the FA list.

We have until April 3 to make bids. No extra credit for early bidding.

Oh ok.. you'll have to forgive me this is my first year. I thought Monday was the first day we'd be able to ACQUIRE FA's.

My bad... I'm calmed down now.. because I was so damned excited about it before.

Monday is supposed to be the first day you can BID on free agents - not acquire them. The FAAB process will take place on Sunday April 3. Unlike Yahoo or ESPN, there really isn't a huge rush to get those hidden gems.

Now the fact that we cannot set our lineups for the April 3rd game is another issue but that too should be resolved in a few days.
