TLDR: (because they're supposed to go on top and not on the bottom) I'm going to sign with the Hawks for two more seasons.
So with this FA process, I wanted to do things with it instead of just doing it behind closed discords and dms. A lot of people have talked about how the FA process is terrible personally and a lot of gms have complained I know about how it is normally just players resigning with their teams. Players should be able to want to play with their friends without it being tampering and should enjoy an FA process that doesn't come very often. All this should also be able to happen without tampering.
I was going to do a few media and have a twitter campaign with maybe two pressors. Unfortunately, I was in a minor car accident (It was less then 10 mph don't worry) which was a bag of cats and then when I went to the clinic to make sure they found a few things so I wasn't able to do any of that. I'm still going to make an article on musings about how new players can use twitter and kayfabe to make things easier and more fun with less effort then they're doing now and without stepping on the toes of people.
I was going into the free agency with the perspective that I wanted to be a free agent. But in the end after considering all the teams that showed interest (and really coming close to another team) I decided, in the end, to resign with the Baltimore Hawks. Let's talk about the reason why.
HO has made a ruling very clear that above any problems that may arise that they don't feel secret clauses are okay. I asked a week before about this but HO be busy and I mentioned that it wasn't pressing. Then when it became pressing I got a ruling when I requested in a little less than a day.
This was going to be the clause I wanted (and I wasn't the only person who was going about something like this)
The "REDACTED BY HO" Clause
in the event of an REDACTED REDACTED, the team will not REDACTED REDACTED AND make a REDACTED REDACTED to REDACTED REDACTED being REDACTED REDACTED the REDACTED REDACTED AND will keep secret of REDACTED REDACTED to REDACTED the REDACTED REDACTED after this REDACTED is REDACTED. Also REDACTED sucks.
HO and the gm I signed with would know the clause and HO would enforce it. But what is this clause really?
The "REDACTED BY HO" Clause
in the event of an expansion draft, the team will not protect Fabricio Baldari AND make a trade-in respect to Fabricio Baldari being drafted in the expansion draft AND will keep secret of Baldari's intention to join the expansion team after this contract is completed. Also Scorp sucks.
Now I could go on for a few hundred words on the multifaceted potential tampering on my part the team I am currently signed on and the expansion team. Having the clause being secret would fix all these problems. But then the clause would be secret and people would suspect whats going on. I can respect that argument. So in the spirit of what I was trying to do with Free Agency I'm going to be 100% transparent with things. I want to be with an expansion team. The expansion teams will draft in the next NSFL draft and then have an expansion draft among the current NSFL teams. They will not leave those teams and the expansion teams will not play, those players drafted in the NSFL draft will be sent down a season. They will then draft in two seasons and begin playing.
This is at least what I've been told/what has happened with expansion in the past. I am openly declaring that I want to join one of these expansion teams as a player with some influence in helping build the team but not as a gm or co gm.
I have been told this is history and that no one has thought of this before. That makes me the master of baiting out tampering. I wanted this clause as well to be secret in the mad event that there isn't expansion I was protected and could continue on with the team I was on. Baltimore has been very kind to my stats and I've had award votes in every season I've played with them and at least a pair of pro bowls.
So really what is the result of all of my attempts to change the perception of Free Agency to be less stressful, less perceived as tampered, predictable process of a player resigning with his team?
I resigned with my original team
I'm now the master at baiting tampering
I got into a really lame car accident and got health issues now.
I blame S22 rookies I don't know.
