The franchise has been advanced and the Week 4 of the 2016 "simmed" season is now open. Playing your game is allowed, but not required. The deadline for week 4 is Wednesday 1/15/14 @ Midnight EST. With the advance to the 2016 regular season, off-season trading is now CLOSED. Any teams that still have an unused in-season trade may use it before the Thursday night advance. You may also utilize this time to attempt to resign players with expiring contracts. You will have that opportunity this week and with the advance to week 8, before we advance to the off-season.
