Twitter as another factor given the relative ease of effort versus payout. If we assume 8 weeks to a season, then roughly 2.5 seasons into a DFA player's career equals 20 weeks, with max twitter payout is equivalent to 12m on top of the potential 19m.

Thats still barely enough to get them through their 3rd season but I think by that point they've spent almost 5 months on the site and largely did not need to contribute in any form. This is a lot of min max assumptions being made as it's equally possible that there are number of users who only partially complete the bounty/rookie tasks/twitter.

However, if somebody is taking the time to make the most of the advantages in setting their player up for long term success, I believe that the effort required should be greater than what it's poised to be.

There seems to be two questions that are part of this bounty announcement.
1) Did we create site interaction opportunities for DFAs in a meaningful way?
2) Does this payout provide a return to the site in some format?


I'm not too interested in #1.

#2, I would say what the site gets out of these DFAs being even better set up for future (max) earning starts to become moot. Examples of returns include payout for media and graphics as they provides something the site. Site jobs are inherently necessary to the site. Twitter provides off site league wide interaction. Rookie tasks are an investment in encouraging players see through their initial season or so.

What does this bounty give in return that another form of DFA task rewards wouldn't? I'd be more interested in organized prospect highlights, interviews/pressers that really bring some focus and spotlight to these guys even though their player's may have little to no impact as a DFA.

Edit: smh I was writing this before any changes were made
