Here's how it works: FOF only checks for a legal roster immediately before a game involving your team is simmed. If it's bye week, or after your team is eliminated, or preseason week 1 and you're not playing, there are no FOF repercussions of being illegal.

Anyone with experience doing this in MP leagues know if it's good? Because if so, I'm tempted to target some guys I may be interested in now rather than wait til actual FA, because for cohesion purposes, if I'm able to resign (which I would be, for under year 3 players) them in the offseason, they'll have a whole year up on other 'offseason' acquisitions.

Don't forget that or players over three years there's a loyalty boost as well. This can be meaningful in leagues where cap space is tight and therefore offers are closer in financial value.

Probably doesn't make a big difference, but if you have the cap space: why not?

If it's legal, there's no downside. A couple of guys who usually do pretty well in FOF MP had over 80 players under contract by the time the latter part of the FOFL postseason was finished a few days ago.
