Trading suggestion

Would it be worthwhile having a feature on the League Home page where owners can list players they'd be looking to trade, sniffing out interested owners rather than having to approach owners directly?

ie Player X has 54/99 for a position, you list him for trade.
Owner Y offers 1st round next season plus a player, Owner Z offers 3rd, 6th for next season and a 7th the season afterwards etc.

Owner of the player can then acept one or reject all and have the ability to take their player off the trading block.

There is a forum to shop your players - but I'll put your suggestion in the ticket list and see if we can come up with something along the lines of your idea.

Yeah, but who reads forums ;)

I was thinking about something similar to the way the free agent system works. So a list of players available for trades; you want the player, select them and then offer a trade the usual way.

A player would live on the trade block until either the owner withdraws the player from it, player is cut or a trade accepted. Would a finite deadline for trades to be offered be useful? Maybe if it was something like "if no trade offers in X game weeks, then withdraw from trade consideration".

If there is no response, just terminate the offer! Not that hard.

Unwanted offers should just be "Rejected" Not that hard, either.

Next question?

I can see the benefit to having a "trading marketplace" that would make it easier to find players you'd like to acquire via trade. Maybe something as simple as a place to mark a player as one you'd like to trade, and when you do a free agent search you can select to include these "available for trade" players that would show up in the list as such, so you can see that you could sign a 60/75 RB but one is on the trading market that is an 80/80. Might definitely help folks connect, with the forums you have to be a little more proactive.

The more I think about it the more I like the idea.

This sounds like a good idea to me.

Me too.

A list of players on the Trade Block, below where the Free Agents are on the drop down list , would be a great idea.
