Default Expansion rosters

Since I have a Legends league I take the all time greats from every current NFL team and make up an all-time roster which could have current players on it such as Palamalu on Pit. Some teams have excess stars at the same positions so they go into the expansion pool with the remainder of today's players. I then make up the expansion teams rosters. I have many ex and current Cowboys, Raiders, Steelers, Giants, Packers, etc in the league. I have both Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman on the Cowboys so that left bot Danny White and Tony Romo expendable to the expansion teams. I took Terry Bradshaw for the Steelers and Big Ben is too good to ride the bench so he also went to an expansion team. I try to get some of these guys on the expansion teams in the same division so they can come back and haunt their old teams. It's the same with the defensive players. I take the best 5 all time defenders and put them in uniform. Then I choose 6 more players on defense. 1 or 2 linebackers and 4 or 5 DB's and number them 1-6 on my active roster sheet. When a player recovers a fumble or intercepts a pass and is not one of the numbered players on the field I roll 1 dice to determine which player on the list made the play. Again very random so anyone can have a big day. Example was LeRoy Irvin won Super Bowl 49 MVP when his number came up 3 times.
