- I'm also interested to know how to do that. I did consult the manual
- and could not find the information. I had a FB with career-ending injury.
- The manual says that I can only replace players on the Open list. Ok, I moved
- him to that list. Because there is no cut option, I tried "sign free
- agent". There was a running back (HB) available. I signed him and the
- game asks me to replace a current player. The list of players I can
- replace consists of only healthy players (I have two more guys that are out
- for couple of weeks that are not on that list either!). The manual does
- not have any screen example for this. Do FPSF leagues have permanent
- employment guarantee or what? :-)
