I defer to the will of the league. The rule says "the contract status of a free agent acquired on or before the last weekly transaction deadline before September 1 is that of a first-year player." I view tonight (August 31) as the "transaction deadline" for FAAB purposes, so acquired players should be Y1. Others should feel free to comment.</div><div style="font-size:large;" class="ydpe348feb4yiv9877996116gmail_default"><br clear="none"></div><div style="font-size:large;" class="ydpe348feb4yiv9877996116gmail_default">Mark B.</div><div style="font-size:large;" class="ydpe348feb4yiv9877996116gmail_default"><br clear="none"></div></div></div><br clear="none"><div id="ydpe348feb4yiv9877996116yqt98287" class="ydpe348feb4yiv9877996116yqt9651944392"><div class="ydpe348feb4yiv9877996116gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="ydpe348feb4yiv9877996116gmail_attr">On Sat, Aug 31, 2024 at 4:05 PM Bill Strotman via Announce <<a shape="rect" href="mailto:announce@usml.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">announce@usml.net</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex;" class="ydpe348feb4yiv9877996116gmail_quote">Players bought with FAAB funds tomorrow are they Y1.
