In your first sample, if the draft is on the same day that FA file, since FA file at the start of the day, and the draft is middle/later, it's resetting them immediately. In the latest sample where the draft is before, you don't run into the same problem.
Yeah, I moved the draft date to November 7th, which is about the earliest I can go, given final day of the postseason possibilities as history unfolds. I want it to stay on one specific date, rather than moving it around all the time, and this is what I came up with. I don't think I've ever seen free agents file before November 10th, regardless of when the postseason ends, so I think I'll be gucci. Thanks for getting back to me Matt.
