This is a new way to do free agent acquisitions. It allows every team a shot at every free agent. It would stop our habit of adding and dropping all "willy nilly." We would need to decide how we determine the waiver wire priority. See below. Discuss.
How do Free Agent Acquisition Budgets (FAAB) work in Fantasy Football?
In a Free Agents Acquisition Budgets (FAAB) waivers system, each manager receives a dollar amount to place blind bids on waived players. The manager with the highest bid at the end of the waiver period claims that player and that bid amount is deducted from the team's acquisition budget. If multiple managers place an equal bid on a player, tiebreaker options are available as described below.
Continual rolling list: Waiver claims are processed in waiver priority order and each successful claim moves a manager to the end of the waiver priority list.
Reverse order of standings: Waiver claims are processed in reverse order of standings and successful claims do not affect waiver priority list.
Weekly rolling list based on standings: Waiver claims are processed in reverse order of standings and each successful claim moves a manager to the end of the waiver priority list.

I'm perfectly fine with doing the free agents this way.
so this is only for waiver wire? Which I guess after the games on Sunday every player that is a free agent is a on waivers right?
Although I like the idea it will restrict people who do a lot of transactions versus someone who only does a few. I guess that might be one of it's purposes, but since I like to do a lot of free agent work, I am going to vote no.

In reflecting Joel's profound wisdom, I change my vote to NO. I do not want to be hampered because I'm more active than lazy owners.
Who is the Japanese person and why do we let him post here? Also do not click on the link it is a dirty site.
I'm voting yes. I would imagine that the owners who aren't paying attention aren't gonna notice when an unheralded running back strings together a couple good games. The waiver wire now is based entirely around the inactive players having the first shot.
I'm in with this too but I may need further details when we get to the draft so I don't eff up my first acquisition try.
I'm obviously a yes too. The point is to step up our game. This forces us to really pay attention to what we're doing instead of rolling through ten FAs during the week.
I don't think I like it. If you get stuck with a string of bad luck and all your dudes start getting injured, you'll have to waste all your FAABillz on keeping your roster legal. So when an unheralded running back does string together a couple of good games, you'll have no shot. So I vote no.
I think what it does is it finally puts those who suck at participating in the league on notice. What if we add a component where the FAAB credits can be used in trades?
I guess the only big question I have is how is this tracked all season? Someone would need to be in charge of that and it's not going to be a fun job.
One more comment - how does one recharge their budget in this system? Does it work like the following? I win a player worth $5 FAABucks and have to drop a player. When that player gets picked up for $4, do I then get credited with the amount he was picked up for?
Yahoo! now has the capability to track it, but I would assume that also takes the ability to involve FA money in trades off the table.
