I know there was some talk about how to limit the taxi squads so I wanted to give some feedback on ways I do it as commish so that a system could be implemented.
The two most basic ways would be games played and years of experience. If you allow those two restrictions that would cover a majority of leagues that use the taxi squad option.
Since neither exists ours is a bit more convoluted currently and it's based off of fantasy starts, which I also really like the most but might be harder to code. Since I'm using MFL for my current taxi league I actually have an app written with their API that gives me a list of taxi squad eligible players and I can even edit the taxi page to show only taxi eligible players based on x criteria. Though doing it that way breaks when people use third party apps.
Another thing is locking, ours is a risk reward setup where taxi players don't lose a year on their contract but they need to be on the taxi squad on opening night. At that point the taxi squad locks and no other player can be added.
Finally the last part would be an optional claims process. Starting opening night through week 16 any team can claim a player off of someone else's taxi squad for a 2nd round pick and $25 of their blind bid budget.

I'd love to help you guys code these updates!
