Personally I like short off-seasons and even more so now that we don't have IFA in the winter.

You know, what ever happened to the overall theme of vacation during the off-season?

To long of a offseason is no bueno. 5 days is pretty good I think. Then a st sim. which can expand it for 2 more days. And that is a pretty decently long offseason.

7 should be the minimum. What the hell is the rush?
My opinion is you plan on 7 but be open to going longer depending upon the free agent and trading market. You need time to work through the market and then know if you need to address needs via trade - that often will take a few days. I like having my roster set by ST - rushing through jeopardizes that.

As I said before, Off-season is meant for vacations lmao. I think our leagues core is mature and active enough to have a week and a half break or so and still come back full power.

it depends on the FA class like Andy said. If its a large and deep one, we should give more time to let teams set up. Large ones usually involve all teams anyway, not just some.

Because the offseason is a key time to make moves for the future of your team.
Why do we need to rush? Did I miss something about a 2010 apocalypse?

I want to get some seasons under our belt so we can expand. I'm not gonna lie
