player agents!

[sensgm]

First off I am posting on the boards, as I don't understand why we are suddenly doing mass e-mails.

However that being said I totally agree with what Jax said in his e-mail. Nick does a lot for the league and I think others helping is a good idea, even more so now that his personal life is far more demanding and important.

The idea of player agents I think is a good one, and would release some of the stresses nick has as a Commish! We can still use the chart as the basis for contracts so everything should be pretty fair (within reason anyway). I think having two player agents would be a good idea, one for each conference, and the GM in charge of the west, should have a team in the east and vice versa, that cheating cant occur and the work load is spread! I would be willing to put myself forward if we went down this route!

On another note, last year I offered to run the draft, as I deal with prospects already and usually have a large number of picks so I am actively interested and involved. My offer would still stand at running the draft next season! Might help spread that work load a bit more!

Either way these are only suggestions in order to maybe help Nick, I'm not saying we should do them, its just an option!

I brought this idea up to Nick prior to re-signs even occuring. Nick has reasons for not wanting this out to other GM's. I'll keep it at that and if he wants to comment, its up to him.

That's fair enough! I already knew nick likes to deal with things, to keep things fair but I kinda forgot!

I sort of like that one guy is doing all of them. Just my take. I'm less wordy than normal as I'm on my tab

It's a good idea,but I have been in leagues that have 2 ,it doesn't seem to work out .Maybe PJ could handle all resigning's fulltime and free agency if he has the time.That reduce the workload big time for Nick.I also agree with Tom,why not let him do that draft as he does prospects already.Running a league is a lot of work why not add some more help Nick,simming takes enough time.

I'm pushing to take over the RFA/UFA Resigns at least. I think Nick may start there, and he will handle the Open Market. We'll see.

Pj is going to handle FAs next season with me overseeing it. I'm just too busy anymore to handle everything on my own.

In a past league, I had a gm helping out and he sabotaged the league site. Another time, a gm who helped out was cheating. So I've always been a bit scarce to have anyone I don't personally know help out. I've know pj a long time, but realized he was also busy and didn't want to burden him with certain things.

Tom, I will send you an email tonight about the draft and such.
