Dynasty/Keepers - Leave league open to allow trading, adds, and drops during the offseason.
This would allow managers to make all league transactions within the platform, including adds, drops, and trades, throughout the year.

i would like to be able to allow people to make trades prior to finalizing keepers. this would make for a more interesting and strategic offseason when determining who your going to keep and who you are going to cut. will also give people a opportunity to move up in draft picks

These moves (in the Yahoo! off-season) are already happening, but either managers have to keep track themselves, or use a different site.
Even an abbreviated off-season (from the NFL Super Bowl to the start of NFL free agency) would be a huge benefit.
Should also be an option to set an off-season roster size (more players) and then a regular season roster size.

Dynasty/Keeper leagues mirror the NFL by having managers engaged even during the offseason. Makes(business) sense to have them open year-round. Trades have been known to occur in the offseason as well. Sleeper is ahead of the game in this regard.

I am on other sites like Fleaflicker and you can make trades, plan your drafts, and manage your leagues year long and it makes it very convenient instead of waiting for a certain date for the next year league to open. It would be a great new option

It would be great for commissioners to be able to manage their leagues year round like Fleaflicker and some other fantasy sites and more importantly, like real NFL teams.

Close the site for Yearly users...Keep it open for Dynasty leagues...it is possible. Programming shouldn't be hard......

This seems like a very necessary and easy thing to implement. Hopefully this gets instilled soon.

Is there any movement on this? We need to add multiple years of rounds to trade as well.

Were trying to go to a keeper league this year, using last years rosters to select keepers, but cant find any history on transactions from last year. Even the emails from last years draft are unavailable now. Do we really have to manually keep track of ALL transactions throughout the year to make this thing work on a regular basis?

As the commissioner of our keeper league I need access to the league year round. All owners need access to see who is on their teams and to allow trades. How can you operate a keeper league and not allow access year round. I am looking at other fantasy leagues that allow access and has the flexibility to allow trades in the offseason. I have to keep account of the offseason trades manually. Ridiculous.

Last season my Commish thought it would be "funny" to set kickers as other peoples keepers, then hold a draft without telling anyone. This was a league I did not want to be in at all, but now I am locked in and can't get out. I'm afraid this will happen again this year and we'll be locked into another season. This league caused me to go from diamond status to gold last season, and I don't appreciate being someone's punchline.

I have guys in my league wanting to trade players and/or draft picks. League #32395. The Beans a mondo. I have 2 new players as well, so I'll be conducting an expansion draft. I am transitioning the league to a legacy format. I'd be willing to pay for yahoo+ if it were a pay option. Thanks!

this request has been supported by virtually everyone in this thread for about 10 years and Yahoo has done nothing. Yahoo must have its brains hidden somewhere in its collective colon.

I have been with Yahoo! for a long time and love the fantasy football experience, but it is not a great platform for dynasty leagues. I have been forced to look into other sites/apps because Yahoo! does not allow year long roster management. We would like to host our rookie draft closer to the completion of the NFL draft but are forced to wait until June 1 for rosters to load and begin managing our teams. This is sadly becoming a deal breaker for staying with Yahoo! long term. Even if it were part of the premium upgrade it would be better.

Totally agree that there should be a Dynasty option available in Yahoo. Like other Dynasty websites, be open all year round. Three rounds for three years of draft picks available to trade. You guys would blow websites like Sleeper and Fantrax out of the water guaranteed.
