Impacted Rule: 8.3 Explanation: Why not have all waiver claims put back in the draft pool the following year? The NFL doesn't get to see what a player will do for their team the following year when they sign them off the street. We currently get to the trade deadline to see the following year stats. For example a returner gets 2 punt return TD's and all of a sudden several teams want him for the following year and not the year we are playing. We had our chance for these type of development guys during our draft.
Old Rule: 8.3 - After the first week of play only, Waiver Claim Free Agents will be awarded based on the previous season's standings, with the poorest team drafting first, etc. After the second week of play, Waiver Claim Free agents will be awarded based upon each teams current:
a. winning percentage b. head-to-head c. division wins d. conference wins e. net points f. power rankings
New Rule: 8.3 - After the first week of play, Waiver Claim Free Agents will be awarded based on the previous season's standings, with the poorest team drafting first, etc. Contracts are only for the current season. All Waiver Claim Players will become free agents at the end of the KRFL season.

If waivers are a way of finding talent for the future, I propose that this is all on a public thread so we can all see and have an opportunity to claim that player. That is if we have a simple way of determining the waiver order, which should be once you make a claim you go to the back of the line. I think we should do waiver claims simply based on draft order.
I don't think that it's good for this league that a top TE land on a top 4 team. And if a claim is public and others have chance to review and decide on that player with a relevant claim order it might work better.

In no other league I am in are free agent requests made public prior to the teams being awarded the free agent. Making free agent claim requests public before they are effective means an owner who puts the work in and finds a possible free agent "gem" could end up doing the work for others. An owner putting in the time to find the player should not lose the player to someone else solely because the other owner saw the player on a public list.
