Use this screen to propose and accept/reject trades with other franchise owners.   This option only appears if the commissioner has allowed franchise owners the ability to propose/accept trades in Abilities Setup.

NOTE: If you are seeing 'future' draft picks listed on this page that correspond to the current year (ie, 2008 future picks for a  2008 league), this means that the Keeper/Dynasty League Upgrade instructions were not properly followed.  We strongly recommend that the commissioner review these instructions before proceeding.

Propose a Trade

You'll initially have to specify which team you wish to trade with.  Once selected a screen with both teams full roster will  appear.  At the end of each roster, the teams' draft picks will also appear if the order has been defined and the draft has not yet started.  This will allow the trading of current-year draft picks along with keeper players (in keeper league).  Non-keeper leagues will only see the draft picks.

Select Player(s) and/or Draft Pick(s) - Check the box for each franchise's player/draft pick in the proposed trade.

Optional Message - Enter a message for the other trade party to receive along with your trade offer email.

Revoke Trade Offer(s) - Once one or more trades have been defined by a team, entering the Trades screen again will display this additional button.  Click on this button to remove any outstanding (non-accepted) trade proposals to other franchises that have their checkbox selected.

When finished, you MUST click on the Propose Trade button in order to complete your trade proposal.  A new screen will appear confirming the details of the trade proposal and the other team involved in the trade will be sent an email.

NOTE: If you are logged in as the commissioner, you can also use the Perform Trade button to forcibly make the trade without requiring a trade acceptance.

Accept a Trade

When a franchise owner accesses this trade screen, any pending trade proposals to this owner will appear at the top of the page.  The owner can read over the proposal and accept or reject it.

Accept Trade Offer - Click on this link to accept the trade proposal.  If the league requires commissioner approval for all trades (as defined in Trades Setup), then the commissioner will still need to use the Review Trades option to approve/deny this accepted trade.  If this is not a requirement, the trade will be immediately processed and any players/draft picks will be moved to the new teams.

Reject Trade Offer - Select this link to deny the trade proposal.  Once rejected the trade can no longer be accepted.  Instead, a new trade proposal must be created.

Counter-Propose Trade Offer - Select this link to deny the original trade proposal and create an alternate proposal.

Comments - When rejecting or counter-proposing a trade, owners can include text comments which will get emailed to the owner who proposed the initial trade.

Email

Trade emails get sent out for the following events to the following users who have indicated that they want to receive trade-related emails:

1. On proposal, to the other franchise.

2  On acceptance, to the entire league if the trade can go through immediately.

3. On acceptance, to the entire league if the trade requires a league-wide poll.

4. On acceptance, to the commissioner if the trade needs his approval.

5. On approval by the commissioner, to the whole league.

6. On rejection, to the original proposer.
