Potential Rule changes for the 2007 season (starting in 2008) to be discussed in the preseason:  1) A team choosing to use the 3-4 defensive card must announce before the season which side their MLB(s) will play LILB or RILB and may not swap unless due to injury, a team choosing to use the 4-3 defensive card must announce before the season which side their NT-only(s) will play LDT or RDT and may not swap unless due to injury, the purpose of this is to avoid swapping left/right at will during a game (unless due to injury), currently a player rated at RILB may not play LILB (unless announced before the season) but there is no such restriction on a MLB and this rule would close that loophole; 2) Remove the tie-breaker clause regarding record against #1 seed; 3) players rated at KR or PR may be cut (optionally) before the rookie/free-agent draft and for any of those players drafted in that draft the cutting team will obtain an additional draft pick at the end of that same round in the following season (to a highest of a 7th round pick) unless the player is drafted by the same team, for example if team AAA cuts LK/PR J.Smith and J.Smith is drafted by any other team in the 7th round of the immediately following draft then team AAA will get an additional pick at the end of round 7 in next season’s draft; 4) punt returners who had fewer than 15 total attempts (punt returns plus fair catches) and are designated by Strat as a #2 PR and have a 5.0 or greater yard average on the card (add up weighted yardage with TD counting as 75 and divide by 36) may not be used as a #1 PR (this affects only 1 player for 2007 and that player is un-owned); 5) use the good run / average pass defensive card (instead of just the good/good card) for the first half of the season or the entire season; 6) FS and SS may swap just as LCB/RCB with the same restrictions (e.g., can't swap a FS to SS and a SS to FS in the same season); in other words, you may announce before the season that a FS is becoming a SS or vice-versa; 7) punters, kickers, punt returners and kick returners who are cut during a draft and then picked up later in the same draft provide compensation to the coach who made the cut with the compensation being an additional draft pick at the end of one round lower in the following season’s draft (to a maximum of a 6th round pick for a K or a 7th round pick for P, PR, or KR); 8) possibly others – in any case these will be discussed on the league’s forum.
