We're discussing how to do the initial stuff.

The issue, if there is one, is that the economics of the league work fine in the early years, but really don't mature until year 4-5 when rookie contracts mature and all the initial draft contracts have gone from C1 to C5 and are getting absurd. So the key question is does it make sense to just let that process happen (and the league has been totally awesome while it happens), or do we try and "jump start it" somehow, and if so, how does that actually happen and how does it maintain balance.

We could just use the current contract values as your other league, and have one big draft where we draft the player and his contract.

Would take more preparation and what not, but I would be for it.

That's actually not a horrid idea, better than what I've thought of for sure. Matt's point is a good one as well.

I'm inclined to let it mature, as it'll lend to the long-term attachment and history of the league, but people just need to be aware that it's a long-term league.
