Notable Stories

Elimination of Round 4 & 5

The league suggested the rookie draft be narrowed down to just 4 rounds. All Round 5 were taken from every team. The Round 5 picks that were acquired in a trade prior to this decision were left with the new owners, but no new Round 5 picks were issued. With the 4th and 5th rounds, the total number of drafted players would be 65+, that was deemed too many by a majority of the league.
