In regards to 'Moved': lolsurewhatever.
In regards to the actual thread: Working as intended IMO. Reason being that if too many of a particular type of player are created initially for one age group, the fact that not all of them will be able to get jobs in rookie, and then prep, ought to cause some of them to be retired. Looking at the list right now, I see 18 120 day old CBs, 3 of which are returners, which seems logically about the right ratio, since you'd want 4-5 true CBs on your team, but just one returner. More to the point, if you look at CBs, WR, and HBs, there are 6 120-day-old returners on the market, and 55 at those positions in total. That's a ratio of just over 9 to 1. Now, consider the average team will have 4-5 receivers, 4-5 coverage CBs, and 2-3 HBs, but just one returner, you've got a ratio of somewhere from 10-1 to 13-1 on any given team.
Meaning, statistically, there do seem to be the proper amount of returners on the marketplace for that level as compared with players on the market in general at that level.

I found one that doesn't completely suck. I'm sure several teams will be fighting over him. The market was flooded with returners last season. This is a pretty big ebb.
Too bad we never have this problem with HBs and QBs.

IMO people get more attached to HBs and QBs. More likely to have them languish somewhere crappy in hopes of getting a job in the future than just retire them.

I've been keeping an eye on the marketplace and most positions picked up. I was just taken aback when I only saw a few returners. Was expecting to be fighting over the pick of the litter. Wasn't expecting this many runts, though.

I retired a free QB today in order to create a blocking FB.
I'm a hero, tbh.

Well that's nothing new, using the marketplace has always been a bit like gold panning.
Which reminds me I should start scouting out offensive tackles for my team.

Just wait until tomorrow to send blind offers. I've landed some good commits through PMs but not enough. Tomorrow I will start offering all the fence straddlers.

Needs a team imo.

What sucks is you can't make a HB returner with your free player because of low demand. That's kind of stupid to me.

Saves us from an uber glut of HBs. If you did it by archetype the returner one would have to somehow be segmented from the rest. The returner archetype sucks anyways.

Yeah I get it , EHB is the way to build a KR. Just saying there needs to not be any threshold on building anything if you have the slot (Free). If you can't find a team there are D Leagues so that's not an issue imo.
