Why stop non playoff teams having the chance to pick up players who break out during the fantasy playoffs? This has the chance to make the strong stronger and could net them another good player for a long contract, and with little competition

Because there's a new rule where after trade deadline you can't sign multi year contracts to FA

Because there's a new rule where after trade deadline you can't sign multi year contracts to FA Why does this rule need to be in effect? I believe that it should be changed as follows:
Multi-year contracts are allowable for players that are UFA players at the time the trade deadline takes effect. I believe this will circumvent the reasoning that this rule was originally changed. This would not allow multi-year contracts for players that were released after the trade deadline.
Just my .02

Because we say this year teams signing free agents to one year deals after being eliminated . Also in real like all free agents that are signed during the season never are signed past the current year. Makes us a bit more realistic to the real thing

Just because it is that way now, does not mean that it needs to be that way. This is an advantage to the playoff teams.
I never realized the Real NFL does this, because I have seen multi year contracts being signed. Even if this is true, I do not like the current rule. Not everything has to be like the Real NFL. Fantasy Leagues make sure of this, because every league has owners that give up on their teams by not making transactions throughout the season. The best way for non-playoff teams to most importantly, remain active in the league, and to rebuild or stock up on players is to offer players with potential, long term contracts. Everyone always forgets about the teams that are not loaded or joined the league with teams that were mismanaged by previous management. Offering multi-year contracts gives these teams a chance to add players at a time when the playoff teams are looking for players with production. This is the best time for those non-playoff teams that are rebuilding or stocking up on players their chance.

Those players who are producing at end of the season would be free agents in offseason

There has to be some type of a limitation in regards to inseason free agency. First, to stop non-playoff teams from affecting the playoff brackets. Secondly, we have no way of stopping non-playoff teams from dropping players at any time as well, which could also affect the playoff race by having players thrown into the mix that really need to go into the offseason free agency. If the cut off is at the end of the regular season, we are talking about shutting down multi-year contract bid for about 3-4 weeks, after nearly 10 months of wide open free agency. I really don't think its all the great of a sacrifice, considering that we're trying to protect the integrity of the league.

Unlike the offseason when non playoff teams have to compete to a greater extent with the playoff teams.
Many of us discussing this topic were in the playoffs. Try being a team that was not in the playoffs and turning your franchise around while having to compete with the teams that already have the best players.

Those players that are signed by playoff teams will be UFA in offseason. Because they can only be signed for one year. You understand that right

They should have to compete for long term players also.
Why not make it just as easy for non-playoff teams to pick up players? Pony up on the contract if you want a player, no matter when they are bid on.
The goal of the league is to make this more even amongst teams and I believe this is one step in making that happen.
Just trying to get everyone to look at this from the other side of the equation. We were in the playoffs and it sounds like there are complaints that it isn't easy enough for the best teams, playoff teams, to obtain players.
Of course, we can vote on this as the Giants replied, but it is always nice to have a discussion prior to the vote.
Just playing devils advocate to try and make this a more balanced league.

Browns I don't think your understanding this. Once teams are eliminated what good is a one year contract to that team. Why should we have non playoff teams try and Sabatoge teams seasons. Remember after week 8 no team, not playoff or , non playoff team can they sign a free agent past that current team. THere is ZERO long term implication
