Even so, this seems like something you start at the beginning of the season rather than the last week of the season where quite a few new players knew nothing about it.

I'm sure all the other owners will weigh in on the matter, before we vote on it.

A fair point for sure, but I for one wouldn't mind, so I don't object either way. It's fun anyways.
What would be the rules though? What draft round do I have to forfeit to keep a certain player.

I say if everyone wants to do keepers we start fresh next year and go into the draft knowing its a keeper league rather than just deciding that in week 16 when nobody knew.
This is coming from the guy that could keep Gurley and Conner so not just saying it for me, saying it cause it just doesnt aeem fair to make the league keeper in week 16 without any hint of that before now.
I don’t know how you keep players after week 16. Some guys may have traded players that they wouldn’t have knowing that they could keep them. Not to mention the whole draft process.
I also don’t think you could keep Gurley and Connor. I’m pretty sure the rule was not from the same position.

Not sure man about the same or different positions but I am with you when it comes to the whole draft process, trades, and FA. Just seems to me if you want to become a keeper league you start fresh with the draft and not decide it week 16 but some people seem to disagree.
Also congrats on the win today man your team is going off, 2 years in a row of me being 2nd in a Bengals board league.

On the opposite end of that, I dropped some of my best guys (due to injuries) that I probably would've kept had I known it was going to be a keeper league, and I'm fine with making it a keeper league now (which is what it was anyway, before Cupcakes left).
Of course, a vote would be best. Btw, congrats to BenZoo on the championship.

If Im being honest one of the main reasons I want to start fresh is because half the fun of a keeper league is that first draft, seeing who takes a chance way too early on young guys and all that stuff.
I can live either way but I just think it would be much more fun going into it fresh knowing its a keeper league and draft.

I feel ya. That's definitely something worth considering.

If we don't do a keeper league, then I think we should do another randomized draft. But I still vote for doing keepers, I assumed we were doing that all season, like we always have.

I am all for Keepers, my only problem was deciding that in week 16 seemed odd, but I can live with it if it happens.
What rules did you guys have? 2 keepers? Keepers replace draft pick of where they were taken?

As soon as his "other" favorite team finishes losing, we should be able to gain his attention.

I change my vote to NO keepers. I was going to keep Tyreek Hill, but he is going to be, or should be, out of the league.
So when can we start mock drafting BTW?
