**NOTICE: I just now spent several hours compiling the eligible keepers lists by cross-referencing last season’s Final Rosters and Draft Results. This means if you traded for someone, they won’t be in your list. It is up to everyone to let me know what potential keepers you traded for so they can be added to your list.**

Everyone should check their final rosters from last year in the league overview page in Yahoo. There’s a dropdown in the top right to pick which season you want to look at. From there you’ll be able to see both Final Rosters and Draft Results. There are some big names that should be on these lists that aren’t, so don’t let your sweet keepers fall through the cracks!

Refresher course for offseason trading: (Mostly quotes from last years’ thread.)

All players listed in the “eligible keepers” lists can be kept regardless of who owns their rights at the deadline. (But they can only be kept by whomever ends up owning the rights.) That means if you have four excellent keeper prospects, you can trade one away for picks instead of just losing him. (Since you can only keep three players.)

The three year term is tied to the NFL player, not the fantasy owner. If you acquire a guy who was kept last year, you only get to keep him once. (This year.)

You don’t have to keep anyone. Meaning if you acquire the rights to a keeper through a trade and then later decide to not keep him, it doesn’t have any effect on you. Right now your list of eligible keepers is simply the list of players you are allowed to keep. You can grow or shrink that list however you please during the trading period. Once the trading period ends, whatever players are left on your list, you can keep 0, 1, 2, or 3 of them. You are in no way obligated to keep a player you traded for.

**For any keepers, if you have a high draft pick in that round, trade down for a lower one getting change back. That change back is free money, since your draft pick in that round will go toward the keeper no matter what.** If you don’t understand this, ask for clarification. This is the primary use of offseason trading.

Offseason trading goes through the end of the month. Once the trading period is officially over, only then do we declare who we actually want to keep. A week after that is the live draft, during which there is no official trading. Obviously I have no authority to prevent people making side deals during the live draft, but I would rather that doesn’t happen because if a problem arises, I would have to arbitrate. And I’ll be busy doing other things during the live draft. So not prohibited, but discouraged.

The official timeline is at the top of the OP, but if people have last minute deals they want to push through I’ll extend the deadlines. I will not rules-lawyer you. The deadlines are a matter of convenience for me, to ensure I have plenty of time to get the bookeeping done during that busy week. (Several SDMB drafts are scheduled for that week.) If anyone doesn’t submit their keepers on time I will pursue them up until the night before the draft via PM and/or email to give them every opportunity to keep who they want. Please work with me, though, to make my job easier.

NOTICE: I personally require that everyone always has exactly 16 draft picks. So any trades involving draft picks must send an equal number of picks both ways.

When you reach a trade agreement, email or PM me the details and I’ll publish them for you. Do not post them yourself, as they may be disallowed and you’ll have tipped your hand to the rest of the league.

Matt Schaub is officially on the block. He’ll cost you a swap of second-round picks\*, and he’ll cost you your fourth round pick (I kept him in the sixth last year).

Also, I scored the third most points last year and finished sixth. Be afraid. Be very afraaaaaid.

\*Assuming swapping _your_ second round pick is worth more than a spot or two to me.

I also have the rights to Vernon Davis, who was drafted in the 14th and can be kept in the 12th.  
That gives me four keepers for sale. I’ll listen to offers on the following. Looking to move up in odd-numbered rounds.

Rashard Mendenhall can be kept in the 3rd  
Darren Sproles in the 10th  
Jeremy Maclin in the 11th  
Vernon Davis in the 12th

My 5th round pick (first overall) is on the table for a low 5th round pick. I’m also willing to trade away all even-round picks for those looking to maximize keeper values.

I’m also willing to trade away the top pick for the right offer.

I will swap my (#2) 9th and 11th-round picks for peanuts, since I’ll be using those for keepers. Prefer to swap them for a higher pick in the 6th or 8th.

I think you mean your 7th and 9th?

Howdy folks! Checking in. It’s finally football time eh? Couldn’t come soon enough.

Added to my keeper list are Matt Ryan (kept last year by **Munch** in the 12th) and Brent Celek (drafted last year by **Munch** in the 14th), both of whom I traded for last year.

Knowshon Moreno (drafted in the 4th) and LeSean McCoy (drafted in the 6th) are both available for trade, though I’m only looking to move one of the two.

Any chance you remember who you traded away to get him? Hamlet drafted him, so he may be missing a keeper too.

Everyone is in except **Bababooey**. I just did a quick search to see if he is still an active poster, and it looks like he is (albeit sporadically) but [he’s having computer problems](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=572220). I’ll give him some time to get everything sorted out, but longer than a week will start to get problematic. Unfortunate timing.

Sorry, don’t. I think Mike Walker may have been involved, but he wasn’t drafted.

Whoa … I said I wanted to discuss a trade, as well as the other offer – but you’re jumping the gun a bit.

Noted.

I can’t reflect the draft pick trades in the league until we get a 14th manager, so after a couple of them I’ll post updated draft pick “rosters” to the thread. Hopefully Bababooey gets his computer issues worked out soon.
