We have a deep Dynasty League that I play in that offers a taxi squad for rookies. I drafted Dante Miller and Louis Rees-Zammit with the intention of putting them on the taxi squad. They need the Rookie "Cap" designation to do this though and they don't. Can we get that changed. Both are clearly Rookies.
"Per the NFL Record & Fact Book the term NFL Rookie is defined as a player who is in his first season of professional football and has not been on the roster of another professional football team for any regular-season or postseason games. A Rookie is designated by an “R” on NFL rosters. Players who have been active in another professional football league or players who have NFL experience, including either preseason training camp or being on an Active List or Inactive List, or on Reserve/Injured or Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform for fewer than six regular-season games, are termed NFL First-Year Players. An NFL First-Year Player is designated by a “1” on NFL rosters. Thereafter, a player is credited with an additional year of experience for each season in which he accumulates six games on the Active List or Inactive List, or on Reserve/Injured or Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform."
Miller has not played a snap in the NFL and this is his first official year in the NFL. Not sure given the definition of a rookie, how he could be labeled as anything but a rookie. Can we change this and get him the cap to put him on the taxi squad? I would appreciate it! Thanks guys!
@fleafounder, where are we at on this? Again, Miller hasn't played a snap in the NFL and as such should be listed as a rookie. Why are you not making him one?

I see that Zammit got the Cap but not Dante Miller. This is his first year in the league, so he should get the "cap", correct?

Google Dante Miller. Technically he is not a Rookie. He was excluded from the NFL draft for that reason.
