After the initial draft, owners are not required to continue to roster and start a complete 10 player lineup and may cut any position at any time, even to the extent of having zero players at a position. For example, a player may cut all kickers from his or her roster and a 9 player lineup would be used with no kicker.
There is no ability to pick up free agents in the Pink Slip League. However, each week, owners are required to drop — or pink slip — a single player from their roster, reducing their overall roster by one each week.
Please do not forget to make your weekly drops!
There are no restrictions on which player or position may be pink slipped. Any player or position may be chosen to be dropped and it is up to the skill of each team owner to determine which specific player and/or position to drop on a weekly basis. Owners are not required to roster all positions and are permitted to cut all team kickers, defenses or any other position if they prefer.
During the first weekly drop, prior to NFL Week 2, each team will drop one player and their roster will be reduced from 26 to 25 players. In week three, it will go from 25 down to 24 players. In week four, it will go from 24 down to 23, etc. Prior to NFL week 17, each team will make their final weekly drop and their roster will be down to 10 players entering Week 17.
