No reason to be communists about it - we don't want to drive people out.
This is another thing.
We're allowing more time before FAs can sign (72 hours) than we gave teams to get their re-signings in (about 44 hours). Plus consider the re-signing file was posted at midnight ET, so that's probably another 8-10 hours (maybe even until the evening the following day) before the majority of the league saw the file.
It's like we're still "all jacked up on Mountain Dew" from the daily sims to end the season. I know the majority like things to go swiftly, but it's a good thing to take your time in off-season rather than rushing through things.
