Pro folks check the totals. I'll give y'all a couple days to make sure I haven't made any errors. Assuming everything is in order, winners should look for an email from Paypal some time this weekend.
Keeper folks, since keeper prices take the full year into account (even if we don't play week 17, full-season stats will be the only ones readily available if we need to refer back), I won't have a final version of the prices until next week. I'll update this thread, including the OP, when they are available.
To all who have said "Thanks" and to those who will, it's been a pleasure serving. After a solid ten-year run, it's time to give someone else a chance. How that someone is selected, I leave to you. As mentioned in a previous thread, I'm happy to stick around as secretary (i.e. keep posting weekly updates) and even treasurer (if y'all want me to keep holding the money) should the next commissioner request I do so.
So long and thanks for all the fish, commissioner.
Observation: Kush15 padded his purse with an extra $5 despite having "nothing to play for" (except $5, apparently 
). I think that's the first time that's happened since Pro started in 2012. (Edit: Verified.)
Edit:
Speaking of Kush15, I was looking through the archives and noticed he's had an interesting journey through the GWJFFL.
2010: Joined GWJFFL2. This was the first season we expanded from two standard leagues to three but he registered early enough to snag one of the four spots in 2 that opened up via attrition. Finished 3rd.
2011: Once again in the East division of GWJFFL2. Finished 5th.
2012: Moved up to GWJFFL Gold (aka GWJFFL1; renamed for the Olympic year). The introduction of Platinum/Pro as a "4th" league on top of the previous 3 made for an upswell of promotions. Of course, we ended up not having enough people to fill that 4th league (aka Bronze) so we effectively maintained 3 leagues. Finished 6th.
2013: With the Olympics over, GWJFFL1 went back to its original name and Kush was again found in the East division. This was back when I was still trying to roughly align the divisions geographically. Finished 2nd; earned promotion.
2014: Ascended to Pro. Landed in the North division because that was where the slot opened up (when Cobble volunteered to drop down to 1). Finished 10th and eligible to be the second team relegated by virtue of losing to the #11 team in the first round of the consolation tournament. (See official rules for more on relegation eligibility.)
2015: Although Boogle finished 12th in Pro and chose to retire rather than be relegated, no one else dropped from Pro and both of the top two finishers in D1 chose to move up. Kush accepted his relegation without complaint and finished 3rd in GWJFFL1.
2016: Although 3rd place doesn't get you an automatic (optional) promotion, it put Kush15 high enough on the list that when 3 players didn't return to Pro, he was given the option to move up and accepted. Though he finished 5th in ranking, he finished 3rd in the money. Not bad.
I don't know why this caught my eye (it started when I went back through all the seasons to verify my initial observation) but I found it mildly interesting because I think it's the only instance of a team dropping out of Pro and then earning their way back. Cheers.

I knew that $5 was still to be played for, and gladly accept that honor. I need to thank Dez Bryant for showing up once this year with his 3 total TD effort vs the Lions on MNF 
*edit*
Actually, screw Dez Bryant, for assisting in knocking me out of the playoffs with his 0.5pt effort (or lack there of) vs my NYGiants in Week 14. Couldn't put up 6 more points?

Pro is five years old. Karmajay has won it thrice, including back-to-back as of today. Does that qualify as a dynasty? 
Reference:
2012 - Karmajay
2013 - *Legion*
2014 - ukickmydog
2015 - Karmajay
2016 - Karmajay
Never again.
...will you win Pro?

Plus I played in the Champ in 2013 and lost to Legion's defense scoring like 25 pts that game!
Anyway, my goal every year is just to make sure Legion DOESN'T win (you're welcome everyone!)
Thanks again Grump! (Thanks for the new signature!)
Many thanks to Grumpicus for commish'ing. Only my first year playing, but I enjoyed it a lot!
Also interesting to note that only 1 of the top finishers in the regular season even made the finals, but didn't win it.
Well, congrats to all the winners.
Crazy to see a 7-6 team win it all in Dynasty.
Alright, Legion, time to step up and take over all the leagues plus the NFL threads. You know you want to.

Ugh, you can't immortalize my typo. 
I fixed the OP, how about doing a guy a solid?

Of course!
Finally, the team thats name is a Dynasty reference has taken its rightful place at the top of the dynasty league.

To be fair, I was leading or near the lead in points for the whole season. That was despite consistently making the wrong QB decision and not keeping Ajayi.
and not keeping Ajayi
Even deciding when to play him was tough. I failed almost every week with that decision.

When I am installed as commissioner, I am going to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Karmajay.

And the threads would be on Tuesdays again and all would rejoice.
Thanks for running the leagues Grumpicus, and thanks for taking over Legion!
Apologies to Torq and farhorizon, both of whom swept me in the regular season.
PS - Mark Ingram is the worst.

8 leagues in 7 years, I won my division 7 times, my only time not winning being 1st go around in Pro. I usually follow the divion title up with a playoff loss, including last year in Div I, where I got a bye week, scored over 160, only to lose to someone who scored 200+.
Grump, as always, had a blast, thanks for all you have done throughout the years. If the next person is half the commissioner you are, we'll be in good hands!

Thank you Grumpicus!! Enjoyed my first year in Dynasty and D2 and you did a tremendous job running the show. Big shoes to fill!
Keeper folks, since keeper prices take the full year into account (even if we don't play week 17, full-season stats will be the only ones readily available if we need to refer back), I won't have a final version of the prices until next week. I'll update this thread, including the OP, when they are available.
So much for "next week". Nevertheless, it's still a lot earlier than last year (and pre-NFL-draft, even!). I'm done tuning the knobs so you can consider the sheet final... and completely unofficial since I won't be the head honcho next year and can't guarantee that the new commissioner won't do things differently.
What's up with all the >$1000 players?
Inflation yo.
Thats just the way of saying they can't be kept since they were picked up during the playoffs.
Alright. So. I'm taking this sh*t over. Any objections, speak now.
Now that that's out of the way, Khaleesi is ready to hear your pleas. What do you want to change? Feel free to throw anything out there, no idea is not stupid.
no idea is not stupid.
I, for one, welcome our new Legion overlord.
