FOF8 - Jets Ascending - Empty Cupboard and Only Draftees - Now with the Miners!!!!

[Abe Sargent]

Part Two

I advance a week. Anyone I wanna chase?

WR Collier – 66 mill over 4 years. No thanks

LB Ragonesi – 58 mill, 3 years. No thanks

Shea? 6 mill over 2 years…. That’s not bad if I wanna bring him back as a backup… that saves me 2 mill off his normal cap hit of 5 mill. For a 55/55 d back who’s just 29? I make him an offer.

There are no major Abe’s Boys available

Week 2 – Ragonesi signs with the Saints. Good luck!

Week 3 – Collier signs with the Falcons. Good luck!

Week 6 – Shea sings with us, CB Wiley signs with the Broncos

My updated needs list from the draft:


Backup – Better QB than Noah Howe, WR – maybe one who can be my PR, OG, OT, LB – See below, 1 CB/S
Starter – Maybe K for Zill, Stud DE/DT, Maybe a stud or starter quality LB

I’ll see you at the draft!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2036 NFL Amateur Draft

Picking first is the Bengals and they take…WR Adam Rountree.

Who is available at the 1.30 spot?

DE Benjamin Durham, As scouted – weak bars for pr technique and better than average for all of the other stuff. Do I wanna grab a weak PR technique De at 1.30?
SLB Dalton Rhoades – Overrated – Great bars!
DE Phil Jenkins – Next DE on the list after Durham, have not interviewed, worse than Durham in most bars.
DT Edward Konwinski – Hard to read. Best DT on the board. Great at run D but weak pass rush. Very weak. Also weak at hitting and play diag.
DT Tyrus Vandam- The next DT on the board. As Scouted. Run d and pass rush tech are great, but poor elsewhere.

But….the top ILB is still on the board. I didn’t interview him because I thought he’d be taken. His name is Carson Warren and he looks like a strong LB. Very strong. I could grab him and then get my next game changing LB, hopefully. He’s also the BAP at any position.


Hmmm… I take Warren. He seems studly.

2.30

Who’s there?

WR Myles Fitzgerald?
DE Heath Hanson?

I take Hanson the top DE on the board.

3.30 – Do I take K Ike Haralson? Yes let’s! No Ks have gone. He’s Hard to Read.

4.30 – No QBs have been taken it’s a weak QB draft so I could grab QB Enrique Wayne the top QB on the board. Also available is DT Frank Johnson who seems pretty solid. Hmm…. I take Johnson.

5.30? I take the top OT on the board…Randall Colthorp

6.30 – WR George Stuart is good at the PR and I grab him.

7.30 – I take OG Hunter Cortez a run blocking specialist.





Rookie Lookie #1

1.30 – LB Carson Warren, Louisiana-Lafayette, 40/76
2.30 – DE Heath Hanson, Kansas, 33/65
3.30 – K Ike Haralson, Arizona, 56/78
4.30 – DT Frank Johnson, Syracuse, 27/63
5.30 – OT Randall Colthorp, Northwestern, 19/33
6.30 – WR George Stuart , Boise State, 21/35
7.30 – OG Hunter Cortez, Army, 11/52


Alright! We have a nice studly LB at the 1.30 that we can use for a few years as well as a potential new K and better players on my D Line. Let’s see how they develop!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2036 NFL FA Period #2

I chase a few rookie FAs

FB Stanley Delgado
OT Quinn Kaplan
LB Alvin Stone
CB Nate Coleman

Week 2 - 1 signs

Week 3 – The rest join us.

UFAs of Note

FB Stanley Delgado, 26/63
LB Alvin Stone, 33/58

I have 59 under contract

Now post draft let’s extend my DT and OC.

I have 12 mill in cash after. Any 2 years I may wanna offer to lock in a cheaper deal overall?

TE Freeman? Wants 61 mill over 4 years. Nope.

OT Kufahl wants 37 mll for 4 years…doable.

LB Suzaka wants 9 mill for three which is only an extension of one year. I do so

I also extend Kufahl

That leaves me 7 mill under the cap.

Ready for camp?

The 2036 NFL Training Camp

Rookie Lookie #2

UFAs of Note

LB Alvin Stone, 33/58; 41/60

I seem to have quite a few growers! Stone, Haralson, Johnson, maybe Hanson if that parabola continues. And only one bust in Cortez. No other camp booms from my UFAs.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2036 NFL Preseason

I have 59 under contract so I hand out a lot of deactives.

I move Warren to SLB.

Week 2 – Panthers – We win 37-6

Week 3 – At the Giants – We win 24-0

Week 4 – Falcons – We win 26-19

Week 5 – At the Cowboys – We win 24-10

We finish 4-0 in the preseason

Dang! Loads of booms this year! From Ike to Johnson to Stone!

I make these cuts:

K Howie Zill
DE Bryson Stuart
Dt Blaine Kelley
OT Randall Colthorp
S Jeremiah Harding
Rb Jerry Carr

We walked into a solid FB, and I want to see where we can go with it.

[Abe Sargent]

Wanna see my top rookies?

https://i.ibb.co/0hSymFz/Jets-64.png

Here is Warren! We are running him at the SLB spot, and he’ll start at LB along with Suzaka at WLB and Hillman at MLB. Warren is solid at everything with no major weaknesses and better at run d.he’s not bad at all and well rounded.

Next?

https://i.ibb.co/hcd6wQt/Jets-65.png

Sure thing! Here is Heath Hanson! He’s not the best at run stopping but the man hits like a bear, can diagnose plays like Einstein and has a powerful pr punch. He’s not that bad at coverage either. I am starting him across from DE Rieke along with my other rookie at DT.

Wanna see my 3rd round?

https://i.ibb.co/jGRsVFY/Jets-66.png


Sure! Here is Ike Haralson. If he grows to 90, he’ll be the best in the league by EIGHTEEN!

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Vance – 317 of 449, 3685 yards, 27:6, 109.6 rating, 16 sacks

His numbers were down due to injuries. Although his rating still led the league

Rushing

RB Fones – 367 for 1918, 5.23 ypc, 16 scores

Wow this was (another) great year for Fones!

Receiving

https://i.ibb.co/BBMyJ7N/Jets-67.png

Branden Lim is nasty. He led the league in yards and was 2nd in TDs. Dude has a nose for the ball. Freeman was our other major threat and then the ball was divided among many different folks retty evenly. Not bad!

Blocking

https://i.ibb.co/kXWhVfK/Jets-68.png

Here you can see our blocking this year. Petrovic’s #s are great. You can see Horton’s numbers without being injured.


Special Teams

K Haralson, 35 of 43, Long of 53, 54 of 56 PAT

Needs to get better but this was his rookie year.

P O’Neal - 69 punts, 42.6 avg, 29 in 20.

% in the 20 dropped this year.

We had 0 return scores

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.ibb.co/cx83nmR/Jets-69.png

Here you can see our defensive numbers. Hartman led in tackles, and Rieke was rocking 17 sacks and led in sacks by 3.5. Dude is a weapon. Joseph another great year with 9 sacks. Those two are Rocks of Gibraltar. Rookies Warren, Hanson and Johnson are getting broken in well.

Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/bJLf0Gj/Jets-70.png


I’m a little surprised that Palmer didn’t make All Pro when Hutcheson did given their equal picks. Maybe it was the pick sixs for Hutcheson? Warren was fine his rookie year here with a pick, a ret TD, and 12 pas def which was 2nd on my team.

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – OG Petrovic – His first All Pro and he led my team in KRB. Good job!

Def. Player of the Year – S Palmer – Led my team in picks, had great tackles and was very well rounded. Good job Palmer!

Special Teams Player of the Year – K Haralson – Did solid work for me in his rookie year.

Rookie of the Year – SLB Warren – A pick, a pick six, 12 pasdef, a sack, a ton of tackles, the guy did well. Welcome to the team!

Heart Award – TE Wyatt Freeman – He’s my gunner on special teams and he led my team on special teams tackles with 21. Good job!

The 2037 NFL Offseason

We score a 76 despite winning a Super Bowl!

Retirements

None on our team

Abe’s Boys of Note

DE Carson Spatz – We drafted him with the Jets, and then signed him with the Dolphins


Do I wanna choose a new team and try this again? I could slide to the Pats! Try to beat my Dolphins! Nah let’s finish this year at least

Staff

I retain my DC Sean McDermott

We draft 19th. Anyone poach my staff?

Nope! I make no changes to my staff.

I massage my ticket prices.


Here are my non-RFAs available for franchising

FS Shaun Curtis
DT Aaron Lazetti
DE Mercury Ford
LB Derrick Kasichke

That’s it! No tags needed

I have 10 mill in cap space and 0 for new players, so we’ll need to make some cap changes to sign my RFAs.

Who do I have coming free of quality next year?

TE Freeman – This is my biggest and most expensive rookie acquisition from a few years ago.
TE Fulton – A strong #2 TE.
OG Limbert
OG Petrovic
MLB Hartman
WR Bradford
CB Ackerman
CB Trunsky
SS Shea – Dropped to 49/49
TE Schwartz


What do I need?

Backup – QB better than Noah Howe; DE, DT, LB, S/CB
Starters – S/CB, LB for Hartman, BAP?

Ready for FA?

[Abe Sargent]

The 2037 NFL FA Period #7


I interview 8 D Backs and 4 LBs

CB Ackerman – 34 mill, 3 years. This is an increase of his cap hit of 4 mill this year.
CB Trunsky – Dropped to 60/60. 29 years old. 9th year vet. Wants 25 over 3 years. Drops cap hit this year by 2 mill.
OT Josiah Castaneda – 50 mill, 4 years, 1.5 mill freed up this year

I cut CB Trunsky. This frees up 8.7 mill. Good luck!

I sign my RFAs

We have 47 under contract this year.

I’ll hold off to extend folks until post-draft, but I only have 2.8 mill in cash.

Updated needs

Backup – QB better than Noah Howe; DE, DT, LB, S/CB
Starters – S/CB, LB for Hartman, OT for Castaneda,

Week 2 – DE ford signs with the Jags

Week 6 – DT Lazetti signs with the Jags as well

Week 10 – Trunsky signs with the Seahawks

We finish up! See you at the Draft!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2037 NFL Amateur Draft

Picking at the 1.1 spot is the Raiders. They take….QB Donny Dedds.

See you in 31!

The 1.32 pick arrives. Who is still on the board?

The top three Safeties are off. Sad. All of the CBs I interviewed are also off the board.

FS Neal Frazier, Hard to Read, low picks, not great bars
FS Joseph Timmerman – The next S on the board. Overrated
CB Alex Soriano – the top CB on the board.
ILB Henry Wright – Great bars, overrated
MLB Donald Royal – Not as good bars, very overrated
WLB Donovan Lynch – Hard to Read – horrible pass rush, okay elsewhere
TE Jerald Moyer – Maybe I could grab Freeman’s replacement?
TE Scottie D'Antonio – Ditto
FB Dominique Armstrong – Ditto
OT Frank Ferguson – The best OT on the board. Good bars in everything but endurance
OT Terrance Craig – the 2nd best OT on the board. Good bars in everything.

Ferguson is the better run blocker. Ferguson? Ferguson.


Backup –; DE, LB, S/CB
Starters – S/CB,

2.32- It has LB Henry Wright who seems to have fallen….do I pluck him? I do.

3.32 – Do I wanna grab a QB here? The best is QB Winston Sander. How about DE Chandler Porcher? I go with Sander.

4.32 – I could go DT Tom Foster here. I do so.

5.32 – Hmmmmmm…. What to do? I grab the top CB on the board CB Lionel Farrell.

6.32 – Hmmm… How about TE Marlon Antonik a pass catching specialist.

7.32 – CB Tanner Prior?

Rookie Lookie

1.32. – OT Frank Ferguson, Washington, 23/73
2.32 – LB Henry Wright, Georgia, 31/70
3.32 – QB Winston Sander, Missouri, 11/43
4.32 – DT Tom Foster, San Jose State, 20/54
5.32 – CB Lionel Farrell, Evansville, 25/37
6.32 - TE Marlon Antonik, Kansas, 23/39
7.32 – CB Tanner Prior, NC State, 26/59

And there we are!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2037 FA Period #2

I have a vet holdout by LB Hartman.

Do I cut OT Castaneda? I do so. That frees up 11 mill.

I extend both of my OGs and TE Fulton. I’ll use Fulton as my Freeman replacement after he leaves. He’s just too pricey and I don’t have the cap space for him.

I do not make an offer for Hartman to bring his salary up, I hope he’ll end the holdout.

I make offers to these UFA rookies

C Collin Checovetes
QB Frank Yee
RB O.J. Lamarr
DE Wesley Witkop
CB Theodore Preston

Week 1 – Two of my targets sign

Week 2 – The rest are ours.

Castaneda did not sign.

Any UFAs of note?

C Collin Checovetes, 19/59
QB Frank Yee, 16/47
RB O.J. Lamarr, 37/46
DE Wesley Witkop, 15/51
CB Theodore Preston, 12/39

Let’s head to camp!

Not bad. Wright didn’t bust like I expected with his overrated thus far. QB Sander rose and Yee fell.

I have a roster of 58 so no cuts needed.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2037 Pre-Season

I hand out many deactives

I extend TE Steve Schwartz and CB Ackerman

Castaneda wound up with the Panthers – good luck! I hate cutting an All Pro, but I had to. I hope you get more!

Football is a game of replacement not sustainment

Week 2 - Packers – We win 20-10

Hartman has returned from his holdout. I massage my folks

Week 3 -At the Cardinals – We win 37-20

Week 4 – At the Lions – We lose 22-24

Week 5 – Seahawks – We win 34-26

We finish 3-1

Great boom by Ferguson! We got the drop by Wright but if he hangs around 65 that’ll be good value at the end of the 2nd round. Sander went the wrong way. DT Foster and DE Witkop grew as well, which is nice.

I cut these players

QB Yee
QB Howe
Rb VanKirk
TE Evanswhite
CB Preston

[Abe Sargent]

Wanna see my top 2 rookies

https://i.ibb.co/5LD0zbp/Jets-71.png

Here is Ferguson! He’s very green but we’ll start him none the less. He is great at everything other than endurance.

https://i.ibb.co/Y2TstFH/Jets-72.png

Here is Wright! I am running him in the middle and starting Hartman at WLB for Suzaka. He sucks at zone D but he’s fine elsewhere.

[Abe Sargent]

On the Green Page is Ferguson 6th and that’s it.

Rookie Investigation

At QB Sander is actually 3rd by potential. Not a great year for them

After booming, Ferguson is now the 2nd best OT in the draft. The top is 43/85

At DE, undrafted FA Pitkop is 5th best.

At DT Foster is 6th best

Wright is the 4th best LB in the draft

At CB Prior is 6th best

Good stuff!

Shea is starting for me at S and Brennan is my nickelback with Ackerman starting for Trunsky. Fones dropped again. What will happen with him at 59/59? Petrovic also dropped to 69/69. Rieke dropped to 61/61. Despite his age Jonah Joseph is still Jonah Joseph and was drafted in the same draft as Vance!

Before I do stats let’s pause…

https://i.ibb.co/3dYPBzL/Jets-73.png

Here is my roster sorted by potential. As you can see we’ve built the Dolphins into a powerful juggernaut with 6 players 80+, another 5 70+ and 14 more 60+. Nasty right?

[Abe Sargent]

Stats

Offensive

Passing

Vance – 12 starts, 269 of 414, 3116, 19:6, 98.6 rating
Sander – 4 starts, 96 of 169, 1255, 9:7, 80.8 rating

As you can see we had two QBs running things out there for us.

Rushing

Fones – 321 for 1738, 5.41 ypc, 16 scores

Nasty for Fones despite him falling in skills his ypc is rising! He was 2nd in yards.

Receiving

https://i.ibb.co/jWR6F49/Jets-74.png

With a down year at QB you expect Lim to be done and he is. It was an up year for Freeman though!

Blocking

https://i.ibb.co/HGLBGBs/Jets-75.png

This is my first year in a while without an All Pros somewhere on this line. Limbert led in KRB again, and we had loads of pancakes. OT Ferguson’s numbers are there for you to consider as well!

Special Teams

K Haralson – 37 of 50, Long of 57, 50 of 52 PAT

He did not play up to his ability at all!

P O’neal – 72 punts, 44.7 avg, 27 in 20

Okay.

Ackerman – 1 KR Ret tD

Good job Ackerman!

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.ibb.co/NtKPSNZ/Jets-76.png

S Palmer led my team in tackles. DT Joseph cracked 10 sacks which is rough for anyone, much less a DT! Nasty! At 14.5 Rieke also netted a ton of sacks and pressure as well. He didn’t show his age! Rieke was 1 sack off the league leader and was 2nd in sacks. Joseph was 3rd in sacks! Good stuff! Joseph also led our team with 4 FF.

Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/b3pTSGR/Jets-77.png

As you can see we are okay in picks. Not great, not bad. Hutcheson led in pasdef with 20 and tied for the lead in picks. Good job folks!

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – RB Preston Fones – He hasn’t shown any sign of slowing down! He is a stud! He grabbed my only All Pro on offense this year.

Def. Player of the Year – Dt Jonah Joseph – What he did was just amazing for my squad! He is the Ageless Wonder at DT!

Special Teams Player of the Year – Ackerman – Another ret TD! Good job!

Rookie of the Year – OT Ferguson – He wasn’t embarrassed out there and was fine as a starting rookie. Good job!

Heart Award – QB Winston Sander – Duh! This 3rd round rookie just won a Super Bowl. How could anyone else be here?

[Abe Sargent]

I will be moving to the Panthers in the offseason assuming they’ll have me. I wanna remake this magic again! They finished 0-16 and they need my loving hand.

Before I do, allow me to recap our years at the Dolphins

2029 – 2-14
2030 – 3-13
2031 – 10-6, Lost in Week 1
2032 – 12-4, Super Bowl Winner
2033 – 13-2-1 – Lost in Super Bowl
2034 – 14-1-1 – Lost in Super Bowl
2035 – 13-2-1 – Lost in Week 3
2036 – 14-2 – Super Bowl Winner
2037 – 12-4 – Super Bowl Winner

We have been the Super Bowl 5 times in 6 years and won 3. This thing is (hopefully) on autopilot and can even win when Vance is out.

I am going to take over the Panthers! They need me!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2038 NFL Offseason

I get an 82 rating

Retirements

OC Neal Glen – Have a good life Glen!


Abe’s Boys

QB Tony Rhem – Good job Rhem! Is he going to the Hall of Fame?
DE Wayne McIntyre which I had on two teams has retired
FS Ernie Weber – Good job Weber – my best S in my dynasty across all teams and a starter for both teams.

I move to the Panthers!


Coach Draft


All of my staff are eligible for replacement, but if they are the best? I’ll keep them. I kept Brian Schottenheimer at Miami.

We draft 5th and that’s a pretty good spot for grabbing staff!


Head Coach – Our current HC is Matthew Slater. I begin the draft. I grab Patrick Graham as my new HC. He has a suitability of 70, he’s 59, and is the DC for the Cowboys. He’s well rounded with no major weaknesses.

Off. Coordinator -Our current OC is Ethan Green. There is an 80 suitability guy out there – Andy Dalton. I grab him. He prefers the Erhardt-Perkins style of Offense.

Def. Coordinator – Our current DC is JJ Newton. Who do I like? The best is AJ Bouye, who likes a 4-3, so I convert to that. I have a Bouye jersey for my Jags so this is funny.


Ass. Coordinator – Our AC is Bernie Hall. He is the best one out there so I make no changes.

Str. Coordinator – Our SC is Caleb Shelton. I keep him as well.

Enjoy!

The 2038 NFL FA Period #1

We are drafting 1.1 and we have a great QB but he came back Hard to Read. I interview others as I expect I’ll just take him.


One of the players on the Panthers, LB Edward Fuller, is an Abe’s Boy and I won’t cut him. I cut the rest.

Unfortunately Freeman was tagged by the Dolphins so we cannot sign him

I advance to week 2 and I make offers to these people

WR DeAndre Presley
WR Emmanuel Bradford
CB Kevin Brennan
MLB Lonnie Hartman
SS Sammie Shea
OC Deion Horton
WLB Shaun Donaldson

RB Preston Fones – They cut him
DE Kirk Rieke – They cut him as well

Week 3 – We sign Fones, Rieke, Brennan and Hartman. Bradford signs with Miami.

Week 7 – Presley and Horton sign with us.

Week 11 – Shea and Donaldson sign with us.

I’m sad that we missed on Bradford but we offered him 4 mill more in bonus money.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2038 NFL Amateur Draft

We have the 1.1 spot. The top player is…

https://i.ibb.co/MkZf6RH/Jets-78.png

QB Wayne Pritchett. Hard to Read? Yes, but I have to take the gamble.

I’ll see you at the 1.17, where we have an extra pick from trades under the other GM. We also have a 4.14.

The 1.17 is here and I am BAP’ing most positions.

Who is available?

DE Julio Pavkovich – Top DE on the board, very overrated
SLB Dwayne Rose – Hard to Read – after signing Hartman and keeping my stud SLB LB is my least position of need. No sense wasting a 2.1 on my likely WLB. If I were a 3-4? Probably not even then.
OT Wyatt Koury – The best O Line on the board. I have an okay C we signed but we need to get some O Line here.
DE Geoff Cook – No interview, great bars.
FB Mark Whalen – Stud could be a good TE. That feels like a futile option to me though. My team isn’t that developed
TE Dernell Bohm – Or I could just go Bohm.
OG Sammy Tatum – Very Underrated – Adequate bars but the interview was good for Tatum.
FS Sammy Raumaker– Raumaker looks like a stud. Getting a high quality D Back would help solidify my team.

I like Tatum here as well as Cook and Raumaker and maybe Koury. I pick Tatum as he interviewed well and I can’t risk a bust.

I’ll see you in a moment!



2.1 is here

I like

WR Braxton Wilcox
FS Sammy Raumaker is still on the board

Hmmm….

I grab Wilcox I need playmakers, I can’t wait two years later for a good WR like I did last time with the Dolphins.


3.1 – How about DE Rickey Humphrey who seems pretty solid? I also like OT Kurt Gillespie. Both of these seem like strong falls. Who do I prefer? I need OT More than DE considering my team so I grab Gillespie.

4.1 –

Is CB Braxton Marsh available? How about OG Owen Lane? I grab Lane.

4.14 –

Hmmm… I take a stud looking CB named Miles Collier.

5.1 – Who do I like here? How about DT Taylor Benson?

6.1 – Do I want to grab WR Marco Brandenfeis?

7.1 – How about CB Eli Zaiser? He looks to have some solid bars.

Rookie Lookie #1

1.1 – QB Wayne Pritchett, Colorado, 35/73
1.17 – OG Sammy Tatum , Louisiana-Monroe, 38/79
2.1 – WR Braxton Wilcox, Fort Hays State, 44/62
3.1 – OT Kurt Gillespie, Michigan State, 20/68
4.1 – OG Owen Lane, Vanderbilt, 20/48
4.14 – CB Miles Collier, Maryland, 25/60
5.1 – DT Taylor Benson, Oregon State, 31/46
6.1 – WR Marco Brandenfeis, Ohio, 31/56
7.1 – CB Eli Zaiser, Texas Tech, 26/65

I hope we can find some great talent in there!

We had a few busts like Collier and Zaiser which I was hoping would be a nice tag team at CB for me. Is Pritchett getting better?

[Abe Sargent]

The 2038 NFL Preseason

I am looking at my future picks and we don’t have a 2nd rounder next year but we have an extra 4th. Do I wanna trade a 3rd for TE Fulton? I offered my 4th that we got in a trade and was told it was very very close, and then I offered my normal 4th and the same message. No thanks.

I hand out many deactives.

Week 2 – Steelers – We lose 22-0.

We lost a lot

I had a boom in preseason - P Quinn Holdgate at 54/70

I cut players to drop me to 53

[Abe Sargent]

On The Green Page I have Pritchett at the top, Tatum 5th, and Gillespie on there as well.

Wanna see my top three picks?


https://i.ibb.co/X4M9Fb1/Jets-79.png

Here’s my top pick! He is green and lacks timing but is good elsewhere. Enjoy the Pritchett’ing!

Here’s Tatum who really grew!

https://i.ibb.co/ypXk8w0/Jets-80.png

The Pride of Louisiana-Monroe is a stud. No weaknesses at all.

https://i.ibb.co/hyrXyLg/Jets-81.png

Here’s my 2.1 pick – Wilcox. He’s my starting PR man as well as a solid, adequate, well rounded receiver.

[Abe Sargent]

At QB Pritchett was the best in the draft.

At WR Wilcox is 4th best and Brandenfeis is 8th.

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Pritchett – 322 of 542, 3033, 11:19, 67.0 rating, 27 sacks

Not a good debut. But that’s to be expected…

Rushing

RB Fones – 262 for 881, 3.36 ypc, 7 scores

Not the best year here either but you know why.

Receiving

https://i.ibb.co/GJ0twgn/Jets-82.png


This was a down year for our passing and catching game. Fones led my team in catches and was close to top in yards.

Blocking


https://i.ibb.co/YXy197n/Jets-83.png

Tatum had a good debut year but the rest of my line didn’t.

Special Teams

K Davis – 25 of 31, 17 of 19 PAT

Not the best year I’ve ever seen but not as much of an embarrassment as I thought we’d get

P Holdgate – 109 punts, 48.6 avg, 41 in 20.

He was one of the best in the league in avg.

We had zero returns for scores.

[Abe Sargent]

Defense


https://i.ibb.co/kKwkRLL/Jets-84.png

Hartman didn’t just lead our team in tackles he led the league by 21. Fuller was 2nd. Rieke still had 9 sacks. You can’t keep him down!

Pass Coverage


https://i.ibb.co/fqSm1YK/Jets-85.png

Hartman also led our team in picks with 3 and his 6 pasdef was fine. Fuller was the most at pasdef and S Ogden wasn’t embarrassed at picks either.

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – OG Sammy Tatum – He had a strong rookie showing and wasn’t embarrassed at all. Good job Tatum!

Def. Player of the Year – MLB Hartman – He led the league in tackles and our team in picks too. He showed up all year long.

Special Teams Player of the Year – P Quinn Holdgate – He had a great average and a solid % of punts in the 20. Good year rookie!

Rookie of the Year – See you next year!

Heart Award – LB Shaun Donaldson – Backup LB with 2.5 sacks! Good job!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2039 NFL Offseason

I end the season and finish with a 56 rating. We had 3 more wins than last year!

Retirements

None on the Panthers

Abe’s Boys

TE Darryl Kirwan – We drafted him over at the Jets and he played his whole career with them



Staff Draft

We draft 2nd

I make no changes

I do not franchise anyone

[Abe Sargent]

The 2039 NFL FA Period #1

We draft 1.1. I interview some top talent. There is a great underrated RB but no real WRs, so I may be taking my Fones.

I make offers to bring back all of my many RFAs

I have 51 under contract. Two are free they only wanted one year deals.

I pass to week 2

Anybody free for me to make an offer for?

Yup!

I make offers to

WR Marshall Collier
OG Alec Petrovic
OT Josiah Castaneda
LB Shaun Donaldson – To return
WLB Jared Ragonesi
CB Owen Ackerman

Week 2- We sign Castaneda and Ragonesi

Week 3 – We sign Collier,

Week 4 - We sign Donaldson

Week 6 – We sign Petrovic

Week 7 – We sign Ackerman

We sign all of our targets!

Now Ackerman dropped to 51/51 and Petrovic is down to 57/57 but they’ll do well now. Plus Ackerman is my best KR still.

I’ll see you at the draft!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2039 NFL Amateur Draft

At the 1.1 spot I take…

https://i.ibb.co/QDGrhPd/Jets-86.png

RB Ronald Bonnell. He’s underrated, and looks solid already with breakaway and power in equal full measure. He’s my new Fones, and with my new OG and OT from FA to go with my two powerful ones last year my hope is that we’ll do this guy a solid.

I’ll see you at the 3.1


3.1 – There is a solid WR on the board - Harold DuBois. But I have three good WRs with Collier and my two draftees last year. He’s the Bap so I grab him.

4.1 – Og Amos Nixon is a nice run blocking specialist.

4.11 – Is DT Joe Cogdel the best choice here?

5.1 – OT Duane Mota? He’d be a solid backup. Should I go with DE Kerry Pounds? I do Mota.

We don’t have a 6th rounder.

7.1 – No kickers have gone yet. How about Brent Mergen? I take him

[Abe Sargent]

What would the '72 Dolphins make of this?

They would would have been quite happy I'm sure, just like when The Pats went 18-1 against the Giants.

Although I suppose if any team were to do it, keeping it in the Miami family might have been welcomed!

Wanna see my rooks?

https://i.ibb.co/qCgD8Js/Jets-87.png

Sure thing! Here is Bonnell my hopefully new Fones who will punch faces. He’s a power inside and out, he’s fine at the catching, and I likes him a lot. Welcome to the club Bonnell!

I don’t have a 2nd rounder but I did have a 3rd!

https://i.ibb.co/L51p88S/Jets-88.png

Here’s Dubois. Enjoy!

[Abe Sargent]

On the Green Page we have Pritchett and Bonnell.

Rookie Investigation

At RB, Bonnell was top. Duh. The next highest is 54/65

At WR DuBois is 6th.

At OG Nixon, after busting is 11th! Yuck. 62 would have been 4th!

At OT Mota is 6th best

At K Mergen is best

Cogdell is the 5th best Dt.

The 2039 NFL Season

I predict 6-10 (+ or minus 1) given how well we did in preseason which would be three more wins than last year.

Week 1 – Cards – We open with a home game against the Cards. We win 27-19. MVP is Pritchett, 25 of 36, 279, 3:1. Wilcox was 8 for 97 and 1. TE Carlsen the other two scores. Bonnell held to 37 yards in his debut. CB Brennan a pick. FF By Rieke, recovered by DT Zimmerman. 2 sacks by Rieke.

Ackerman is out for a few weeks and Shea will start for him.

Week 2 – At the Colts – We win 31-24. MVP is Pritchett with 26 of 34, 312 and 3:0. TE Duffy, Collier and Brandenfeis with scores. Bonnell held onto 77 yards on 17 carries. Pritchett with a rush TD. Five pasdef by CB Zaiser.

WR DuBois is out for a few weeks. Rasmussen will start for him

Week 3 – At the Rams - We lose 28-13. I’ll skip past the losses like last year. There are likely to be many.

Ackerman is back

Week 4 – Cowboys – We win 26-19. Game MVP Is Pritchett with 26 of 40, 258 and 2:0, Wilcox 8 for 150 and 1 score. RB Bonnell with a scoring catch. FF BY Fuller and Rieke, 2 sacks by Rieke, 4 pasdef by Ackerman,

We are a surprising 3-1!

[Abe Sargent]

Week 5 – At the Giants- We win 31-10! Man! MVP is Pritchett. 19 of 33, 189 and2:0 hitting for scores Collier and Rasmussen. Bonnell his first 100 yard game with 19 of 114 and 2. FF and recovery by Brennan.

DuBois is back from injury

Week 6 – Eagles – We win 26-13! Game MVP is DT Taylor Benson with 2.5 sacks. Pritchett is 16 of31 for 179 and 1:2. Wilcox is 5 for 101 and score to Collier. Picksby CB Collier and S Davidson FFs by Ragonesi Rieke and Collier. DT Zimmerman a fumrec score. 4 KRB by Petrovic.

Week 7 – At the Falcons – We edge them 26-23. Pritchett, MVP, 29 of 40, 290 and 3:0, Wilcox 9 for 113 and 2 scores, the other score is TE Carlsen. Picks by Brennan and Davidson. FF by Zimmerman. 3 pasdef by Zaiser.

OG Lane is out but he’s not starting

Week 8 – At DC – They are 5-2. We lose 24-33. Given how well we are doing I’ll recap it for you. Pritchett, 22 of 41, 313 and 2:1. RB Bonnell both receiving scores. FF By Zaisr recovered by Hartman.

We are 6-2 at the half!!!

[Abe Sargent]

Week 9 – At the Saints – We lose 23-20. Pritchett, 20 of 33, 223, 2:2, Collier and Wilcox scores. FF by Hartman recovered by Zimmerman. 2 sacks by Hartman.

Week 10 – BYE

Week 11 – Bucs – We lose 6-9. I’ll skip. That was horrible.

Week 12 – At the 7-3 Jags – We lose 6-12. I’ll skip again

Week 13 – Vikings – We lose 17-14. Well that was a fast return to earth!

We are 6-6.

[Abe Sargent]

WLB Donaldson is out for a while

Week 14 – Titans – We lose 9-34. And they were 4-8.

Week 15 – Saints – We lose 24-37

Week 16 – Texans – We lose 38-42. Now that sounds fun enough to recap. Bonnell was 26 for 98 and 2 scores. Pritchett was 25 of 35, 312 and 3:2. Fuller and Davidson with picks. 3 pasdef by Hartman.

Week 17 – At the Bucs – We lose 16-24

Well that was a backward way to get to my predicted 6-10!

League Awards

Defensive Rookie of the Year – FS Morris Davidson

A UFA rookie just won that award!

All-Pro 1st Team –

WR Braxton Wilcox
MLB Lonnie Hartman

Good job folks!

[Abe Sargent]

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Pritchett – 374 of 580, 4016, 27:18, 87.2 rating, 28 sacks

That’s not a bad year for the 2nd year man and he cleared 4k yards pretty easily. Good job! We just need to drop those picks.

Rushing

RB Bonnell – 280 for 883, 3.15, ypc, 4 TDs
QB Pritchett – 99 for 401, 2 scores

I need a better commitment to Bonnell and I need better ypc from him. I need to commit to a better O Line this year, cough OC, cough.

Receiving

https://i.ibb.co/gd76Gnb/Jets-89.png

Wanna see how well Braxton did this year? Here you go! New signee Collier was 2nd on my team in catches and yards. You can also see how the others have gone. Good job!

Blocking

https://i.ibb.co/LdPTQRZ/Jets-90.png

Hey Tatum, you went backwards not forwards in KRB. What happened?

Special Teams

K Mergen – 29 of 32, Long of 53, 32 of 34 Pat

Much better. Thanks!

P Holdgate – 100 punts, 50.0 average, 46 in 20

How did Holdgate not get All Pro?

Marco Brandenfeis had 2 PR Ret tDs

Good job Marco!

[Abe Sargent]

Defense


https://i.ibb.co/0JKHC0W/Jets-91.pnghttp://

As you can see Hartman led my team in tackles again and he added 4 sacks, not bad. The Machine Known as Rieke had another double digit sack year and that guy just won’t quit no matter his age! 2nd year man DT Benson did fine with 5.5 sacks.

Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/BfP9VqR/Jets-92.png

We did not get a lot of picks by Davidson led with 3 and 6 pasdef for an undrafted rookie. Hartman led my team in pasdef with 15 – good job!

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year - – WR Braxton Wilcox – He has 2nd in the league in yards, and 2nd in TD passes. Good job Wilcox!

Def. Player of the Year – MLB Lonnie Hartman – Got an All Pro, led my team in two stats, and was solid in the pass rush as well. Good job Hartman!

Special Teams Player of the Year – P Quinn Holdgate – Best PR in he league, best avg, but didn’t win All Pro for some random reason. No idea why

Rookie of the Year – FS Morris Davidson - How could you go elsewhere?

Heart Award – WLB Shaun Donaldson – Not a starter but notched 2.5 sacks in rotation. Good job!

[Abe Sargent]

I wanna end the year now so I can to change my OC in the offseason. Andy Dalton misused my stud RB. There were games where the QB had more rushes.

The 2040 NFL Offseason

I score a 61

Retirements

None on our team!

Abe’s Boys

DE Sergio Page – Undrafted De for the Dolphins in his first year, started for me for two years across from Rieke and notched 11 sacks one year, wanted too much cash to bring back

Hall of Fame

Our first inductee in our era has made it – WR Kirk Barber!

Staff Draft

I head to draft my staff

We pick 5th

I move to OC and look at who is available. I hire the best balanced OC I can find because our balanced OC rode Fones like a pony. Do I want Smashmouth? The 2nd best OC option has Smashmouth has a suitability of 79 – Kevin Stefanski. The highest balanced is a 72 – Walter Mathews. I do Walter.

I make no other changes

Who do I have free?

CB Brennan
OC Horton

I make no franchise tags

[Abe Sargent]

The 2040 NFL FA Period #1

We are drafting 1.8 and I hope to find a stud OC for the picking. The best I’m not sure of is Al Lynch, Hard to Read. I also interview folks in other O Lines and maybe we’ll find another path. Then I interview a bunch of studs at CB, DE, DT. Wow there are three stud FS and CBs and none of them are overrated or very much so. I love a stud at DT, the 2nd best player in the draft.

I sign my RFAs. I have 51 under contract.

I currently have 93 mill under the cap. Anyone coming free I may wanna resign?

I extend these players:

P Holdgate

LB Hartman

I do not extend SLB Fuller, SS Shea and RB Fones who have all dropped to not being my starter anymore.



I fast forward a week and have a few interesting options in FA.

I have a 1st round trade over for a player I would move but that’s not me.

I make offers to my two FAs and TE Schwartz (50/50, would actually start for me) that’s a UFA from the Dolphins.

These players are in the FA pool

RB TJ Mahoney – 36 mill, 3 years

RG Lenny Cote – 25 mill, 3 years, 56/56

DT Jonah Joseph – 27 mill, 2 years, 68/68

MLB Alvin Stone – 34 mill, 3 years, 70/70

CB Bryan Hutcheson – 47 mill, 3 years, 60/60

That’s five players I could add to my team. Where would they fit ? I have a need at DT so Joseph fits. Stone is the best one of the FAs and is the youngest at just 5th year vet. But LB is the one place I don’t have a need at. I have Hartman at MLB, Ragonesi at WLB with a 54/54 rating although he’s 10th year vet, Fuller or Donaldson at SLB although those are 50/50 and 55/55 respectively. I could sign Stone and move him to SLB or WLB.

I make offers to Cote for OG coverage in case Petrovic at his 53/53 level, Joseph, and Stone. I’ll do my normal and add a few million bonus cash to help them sign with me. Hutcheson is 31 and unlikely to hold the starter job his cash requires. No to him. If he were cheaper? Sure! Mahoney is in his 30s ann not needed even as a backup.

Week 2 – We sign Stone. I move him to SLB.

Week 3 – Hutcheson signed with the Saints. Joseph signs with us.

Week 6 – Mahoney signs with the Raleigh Eagles.

Week 7 – Cote signs with us!

Week 9 – Brennan and Horton resign with us

Week 11 – Te Schwartz joins us!

All of our targets join us!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2040 NFL Amateur Draft

We’ll slow roll this as we may be getting a nice stud somewhere at 1.9.

Picking at the top spot is the Chargers, and they grab…CB Grady Hurtado. One stud gone, two left…

1.2 – Qb by Ravens - Good
1.3 – WR by Lions – Good
1.4 – CB by Ravens – Not Good
1.5 – QB by Colts – Good – Three picks left
1.6 – WR by the Cards – Good
1.7 – RB by the Giants -Good…
1.8 – OT by the Bills


That means we have some seriously good players left. I wanted to grab OC Al Lynch but he’s not the best and Hard to Read. I’d grab him at 2nd round if still available, but I have better talent here. Generational stuff.

And DT Conrad Kindred, the 2nd best player in the draft? Still there! Could he be my Jonah Joseph? He’s As Scouted.

The top player, TE Bubba Spearman is available. He looks pretty sexy. Hard to Read though but great looking guy.

We have a stud SS Dominique Schneider with As Scouted on the board as well and he could be my Alvin Thompson or my Ernie Weber.

https://i.ibb.co/PDH7Dq4/Jets-93.png

Here’s Kindred. Like I said, he’s a stud. Good run D, great Pass rush, god pr strength, okay coverage, good play D, and great hitting, and good endurance too. There is nothing here not to like!

https://i.ibb.co/FXKtrjW/Jets-94.png

And here is Schneider. He’d arguably be my best D Back with the Panthers and probably better than my best S Ernie Weber by a lot.

Who do you grab here? Both would work out nicely for us. Neither are the sort of talent that falls later in the 1st round of the draft so after we start winning these sorts of players aren’t there.

I’ll make my decision in the morning - I'll think about it!

[Abe Sargent]

Reasons to do Schneider – Studly d backs don’t go deep. I’ve never gotten one this good to fall to the back of the 1st or later in my career. My 7th round wonder in Hutcheson was a giant boom from 55 to 71. You can’t rely on that. Schneider appears to be better than Kindred. He’s probably in his 80s to Kindred’s 70s. Our picks and such as not good and are the worst part of our defense and he would go a long way to shoring that up.

Reasons to do Kindred – High quality D Line sometimes fall, but’s rare. As a 4-3 defense we need to get pressure from our line, and that means having a great DT. I have invested picks into my D line but they weren’t here two drafts in. At Miami I was swimming in 50s and 60s DEs late or UFAs and it wasn’t as much of a need but here? It’s needed. All I have to get pressure with is my line and maybe one rusher. Kindred will do that for me.

I am leaning towards Schneider. He’s just rarer and better.

I take Schneider and head to the early 2nd round and I hope my OC Al Lynch will still be there – he’s not that good that a 1st round would need to be invested in him and Cs often fall. Last year there was a stud OC that was taken 2.10 and I would have grabbed him at 2.1 if I had a draft pick.

Our pick arrives at 2.8. Is Lynch there? Yes he is baby! I take him! I am very happy!!! Kindred wasn’t taken until 2.6 – wow.


Our 3.7 pick arrives. Who do I like here?

OT Grant Farley looks good and could grow into my starter after Castaneda has aged out of the role. He’s only 7% developed and would need some time.


4th round how about TE Percy Schultz? He looks pretty good. Is Farley still available? OG Blaine Pearce isn’t bad either but I like TE here.

5th round is here. Do I like DT Amir Henry? Or FS Clyde Stevenson? I do Henry the top DT on the board.

6th – How about DE Leonard Malone? He’s the top one on the board. I grab him.

7th – How about Theodore Boucvalt at CB? I snag him


Rookie Lookie #1

1.9 – SS Dominique Schneider, Boston College, 47/80
2.8 – C Al Lynch, Mississippi, 33/74
3.7 – OT Grant Farley, Northwestern, 10/60
4.10 – TE Percy Schultz, Auburn, 31/59
5.9 – DT Amir Henry, LA State, 31/48
6.8 – DE Leonard Malone, Purdue, 11/50
7.7 – CB Theodore Boucvalt, Indiana, 25/45

There we are!

I hope a few are growers and that my As Scouted top ten pick doesn’t bust…

Some good! Growth by Lynch and Farley and Boucvalt and that’s nice! Drops by some UFAs though, and that’s not good. I have 71 on my roster and I need to cut 11 after camp. TE Schultz looks like he might be my new starter at that position.

Let’s do it to its!

I cut these players

RB Preston Fones – He is down to 39/39 and I cannot keep him in good conscience.

TE Javier Klech
TE Hugh Sheridan

OC Deion Horton – He started with me and started for two years, but it’s time to let him go.

SS Sammie Shea – He’s a 12 year vet with a 33/33 rating. Sorry Shea!

The 2040 NFL Preseason

I am starting Farley in the preseason but I’ll move back to Castaneda in the regular season. Barring a big giant growth.

I massage my depth charts and hand out 14 deactives

As you can see Schneider busted a bit. Sad. However Lynch rose and that’s nice.

I cut these players to get to 53

QB Jesse Glover
TE Winfred Carson
OT Troy Hutton
OG Owen Lane
DT Brad Van Pelt
CB Dillon Owens
CB Harvey Richardson

Sure!

Here’s Schneider, who looks a lot like Weber! Very poor picks, solid coverage, good run d. This pick may not have been the homerun I was looking for…

https://i.ibb.co/Jt3Lshg/Jets-96.png


…however Al Lynch looks pretty spiffy and was the first C taken in the draft. He’s pretty sexy keen cool! I like his well-rounded ness!

[Abe Sargent]

On The Green Page is…no one! Wow!

Rookie Investigation

At OC Lynch is best, and is the 4th best rookie in the draft period as there are only four with an 80 or higher pot. UFA Briggs is 4th best C

At OT Grant Farley is 5th best at his spot.

DE Malone is the 6th best, DT Henry is the 5th best

After he dropped, SS Schneider is the 2nd best S taken. The best fell to 1.27 and was snagged by the Dolphins.

Our 7th round boom CB Boucvalt was 6th best.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2040 NFL Regular Season

My guess for this year is we’ll flip and go 10-6 now that we have another draft of talent to increase the power of my roster. We also have a new OC this year bringing a new game plan.

[Abe Sargent]

Despite starting slow, Bonnell has picked up speed in the offense and just got over 1000 yards with 4 games left. As has Wilcox. Can we keep up the pressure?

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Pritchett – 371 of 601, 4006 yards, 22:15, 83.1 rating, 18 sacks

Again another 4k season with the balanced offense. We need to drop those picks still. And increase the TDs. He was 4th in passing yards, tied for 9th in pass TDs, 15th best QB Rating

Rushing

RB Bonnell – 331 for 1499, 4.53 ypc, 15 rush TDs

Bonnell was 2nd in yards by 16, and dominated in rush scores. No one else had double digits. Good job!


Receiving


https://i.ibb.co/Stgrg31/Jets-97.png

Wilcox led our team in yards again and was our only 1000+ yard earner. He is 2nd in the league in yards. You can see the 618 yards and 6 scores for Bonnell giving him more than 2k yards from scrimmage.

Blocking


https://i.ibb.co/yVtLgnV/Jets-98.png

Tatum must have heard me when I criticized his play last year. The best OG in the league needs to get All Pros, and this is his first! Good job Tatum! You didn’t allow a single sack! OC Lynch was 2nd on my team and grabbed a ton of KRB. I am looking to replace Castaneda with my rookie next year after a clear down year.


Special Teams

K Mergen – 29 of 33, Long of 56, 48 of 48 PAT

Much better Mergen. Thanks!

P Holdgate – 102 punts, 46.7 avg, 42 in 20

Not as good as last year, but what would be?

Brandenfeis- 1 KR for Score

[Abe Sargent]

Defense


https://i.ibb.co/zsFdYgQ/Jets-99.png

Hartman led my team in tackles and Stone was 2nd. Hartman a solid 4 sacks. I had two players get more than 10 sacks – Rieke yet again despite being 31/31 and Benson who is 45/45 but is a pass rush specialist. Like really good. He is the CB Alonzo Stone of sacks. 8 sacks for Joseph was great for him as well. We had a strong sack performance and Stone has 2.5, and you can see others with the sacks. Like Ragonesi. Rieke led my team in FF with 4.


Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/zxFghyM/Jets-100.png

Alvin Stone was awesome with the picks and Davidson another strong year with picks and pasdef despite his 48/48 self. Eli Zaiser looked solid and led my team with pasdef. Hartman notched 15 pasdef and was 2nd on my team. Good job crew!

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – RB Ronald Bonnell – Dude wins Off. Player of the Year for the league, dude wins it for my club as well!

Rookie of the Year – OC Al Lynch – 2nd on the team in KRB, only allowed 6 sacks as a rookie, and was very nice. Welcome to the club!

Heart Award – CB Theodore Boucvalt- Pick six without starting anywhere. Good job rookie!

[Abe Sargent]

I end the season. I score an 80. Nice!

The 2041 NFL Offseason

Retirements

LB Edward Fuller – We drafted him in my first draft with the Dolphins and he was a stud we kept for a while and then I inherited the man with the Panthers and kept him here. He is retired after finishing 13 seasons in the league. One All Pro

That’s it

Abe’s Boys

RB TJ Mahoney – My post-Fones RB for the Dolphins, and a 5th round drafted pick who did quite well for us.

TE Lawrence Fulton – 3rd round pick for the Dolphins that was one of the better TEs in the league during his run in a certain stud TE’s shadow.

CB Joshua Trunsky – Drafted in the 5th round by the Dolphins, this starting CB started a long time for me.


The Staff Draft

I retain my HC and DC. We pick 3rd and… I make no changes to our staff.

I massage my ticket prices

Here is who I have coming free not as an RFA

…..

That’s it! So no franchises obviously

I head to FA

[Abe Sargent]

The 2041 NFL FA Period #1

I look at the draft. We are drafting 1.28. That’s back there. I need to target talent that might fall. I’d like talent at D Line, a stud OG only, better FS. And I’d take studs at pretty much any place that falls to 1.28. I Interview O Line and D Line.

I sign my RFAs. I have 52 under contract and room for 60 mill after my draft which we are about to use. Heavily.

Here are my players coming free that I am looking to resign, in order of their importance

QB Pritchett
FL Wilcox
OG Tatum
CB Zaiser
OT Gillespie
DT Benson
Wr Brandenfeis
CB Collier

5 backups

I sign Pritchett first as he’s a must despite not playing super well. He wants 200 mill over 5 years, which increases the cap hit by 22 mill this year alone

I also extend LS Belott while talking about it.

Who’s next?

Here are their demands

FL Wilcox – 5 years, 109 mill
OG Tatum – 5 years, 99 mill
CB Zaiser – 4 years, 63 mill
OT Gillespie – 4 years, 57 mill
DT Benson – 4 years, 36 mill
Wr Brandenfeis – 5 years, 62 mill
CB Collier – 3 years, 25 mill


I can replace Collier with the 7th rounder I took and save myself a lotta cash there.

I sign Gillespie now as he’s the best deal in my opinion.

I extend some backups while thinking about it.

And now who? I have 29 mill left in my cap?

I move forward a week to see if anyone is signable.

OC Deion Horton is available but I’m set at C.

WLB David Suzaka is available if I want to bring in a new WLB but I’m fine.

26 mill left. Let’s say 20 for UFAs

Wilcox alone would go from a cap hit of 4 mill this year to 17 mill and would eat up all but 7 mill of what I have left. I need to cut some players in order to free up some cash.

I cut

OG Petrovic – I’ll start a draftee or my signing last year -I save 7 mill

OT Castaneda – I’ll start Farly this year. I save 12.5 mill

With those savings alone I extend Wilcox and Tatum – I am left with 22 mil for new players – 6 – 16 mill.

I extend Rieke by a year and drop his cap this year. I extend Brandenfeis who is my key PR/KR and a great WR.

I cut WR Collier and save 10 mill. I extend Zaiser.

I’ll wait until post draft to sign Benson in case I draft a better DT.


Let’s hit up FA!

Week 2 – Suzaka signs with the Texans.

Week 9 – Petrovic signs with the Giants

I head to the draft

[Abe Sargent]

The 2041 NFL Amateur Draft

Drafting first is the Patriots. They grab at 1.1 QB Walter Flowers, the top Qb and 3rd best player in the draft overall.

Our pick arrives at 1.28. Who is left?

DE Colby Shea, As scouted, 2nd best player on the board
DE Henry Hepburn, Hard to Read
SLB Bryson Sherman – Stud LB, top player on the board. I could grab him and move him to WLB.
OG Neal Ramirez – Nice bars, Overrated
OG Josh Bell – Good run blocking, Hard to Read
DT Marco Walker, As Scouted, not great bars




I like Shea. He meets need and is one of the best players on the board so I grab him

The 2.28 arrives. Who do I like? OG Omar Higbee? I grab him.

3.28 – Dt Colby Hampton? CB Tito Bobo? I do Bobo – he looks like a grower

4.28 – Wanna really push DE? How about Wayne Conyers? Or I could go with S Lamont Dundas. I do Conyers who seems like he fell for some random reason.

5.28 – Hmmm… How about the top OT on the board - Clayton Ottesen?

6.28 – How about a LB? The top one is WLB Vernon Carpenter

7.28 – Who is the Bap? CB Horace Holsey with a 5.1 rating. I grab him.


Rookie Lookie #1

1.28 – DE Colby Shea, Florida, 39/77
2.28 – OG Omar Higbee, Wake Forest, 28/64
3.28 – CB Tito Bobo, Iowa State, 42/55
4.28 – DE Wayne Conyers, Army, 25/65
5.28 – OT Clayton Ottesen, Stanford, 22/43
6.28 – WLB Vernon Carpenter, Mississippi State, 19/42
7.28 – CB Horace Holsey, Ohio State, 21/43

And there we are! I hope Shea won’t bust on me like a certain As Scouted SS did last year…

[Abe Sargent]

The 2041 NFL FA Period #2

Rieke has dropped to 25/25 and I cut him and save 15 mill. I extend Benson. I hope Rieke will end nicely!

I chase these UFAs

WR D.J. Mundt

Week 2 – Collier signs with the Giants, we sign two

WHOA! I did not see the Higbee bust! That’s nasty. I’ll start Lenny Cote at OG this year instead. Actually I have a better Idea. I move OT Mota to OG and will start him. However we got a big boom from Carpenter! I move him to start.

I cut these players

Wanna see my rookies?

https://i.ibb.co/cTkR2sm/Jets-101.png

This is my first rounder DE Colby Shea. As you can see he is pretty solid, and well rounded in a few ways. He’s not a coverage guy, but that’s not why I draft and play DEs. He can be confused by a really smart puppy but he hits like a bull.

Let’s skip my #2 and head to #3

https://i.ibb.co/2h24L4y/Jets-102.png

Here is Tito Bobo! As you can see he’s okay in a lot of areas, weak at the hitting, and then will start for us at FS and I have Davidson at nickelback.

[Abe Sargent]

Any offers for next year with my 28+ mill?

How much Bonnell will want to extend now two years early? 133 mill , 5 years. I do it

On the Green Page we have Shea, Bobo, and Conyers. I am starting all three

Rookie Investigation

After busting, Higbee is the worst OG in the draft.

Shea is the 2nd best DE in the draft. Conyers is the 4th best. Miami got the best DE and the best D Line in the draft at 1.27 right before us. Their new GM is nailing their drafts.

After booming in preseason, Carpenter is 5th best among all LBs.

After booming as well, Bobo is the best CB and d back.

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Pritchett – 380 of 588, 4298, 24:14, 88.6 rating, 28 sacks

2nd in yards, tied for 5th in TDs, 8th in rating.

Rushing

RB Bonnell – 367 for 1489, 4.06 ypc, 10 scores

He was first by 125 yards, tied for the most TDs

Receiving


https://i.ibb.co/fNGKwzv/Jets-103.png



Wilcox finished with a studly 1444 yards and 7 scores on 119 grabs. He had the most yards in the league. Bonnell was 2nd in grabs and added another 550 yards to his total to go over 2k again as well as 5 more scores. Good stuff!

Blocking


https://i.ibb.co/Bg7T4fZ/Jets-104.png

Here you go! Tatum owned those KRB this year. Just one player grabbed 50, and he was 2nd by one KRB. Just 2 sacks by Tatum is nice. Lynch had another great year and others were fine

Special Teams

K Mergen – 19 of 22, Long 48, 28 of 29 PAT

It was a down year for my offense and he wasn’t used as much

P Holdgate – 93 punts, 48.8 avg,34 in 20

Great year by the guy!

Ackerman with a RET TD.

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.ibb.co/ZcDXrhN/Jets-105.png

Here are our defensive numbers. Stone led in tackles, not Hartman who had a down year. Note the nice 8.5 debut by Shea in his rookie year! I thought he might get Def. Rookie of the Year. Rookie Conyers was right behind him with 8. Good stuff! Joseph with a down year, to be expected given his age. Benson as well.

Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/whzZPrm/Jets-106.png

Stone led my team in picks and was solid in pasdef at 9. For a guy bad at picks, Schneider certainly delivered! Good stuff!

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – OG Sammy Tatum – Tatum was great with the KRbs and only allowed a pair of sacks on the year. He also won another AllPro. Good stuff Tatum!

Def. Player of the Year – SS Dominique Schneider – Got his first All Pro, 3 picks, a pick six and led my team in pasdef. Great stuff!

Special Teams Player of the Year – P Quinn Holdgate- Dude wins All Pro…

Rookie of the Year – DE Colby Shea – Led my team in sacks and hurries. Good job rookie!

Heart Award – LB Mark Ellington – We play him on special teams where he grabbed 24 tackles, 3 FF, 1 rec, and was a great gunner! Good job Ellington!

[Abe Sargent]

I end the season and score a 74 Uh oh

The 2042 NFL Offseason

Retirements

DT Jonah Joseph - Tons of all pros, definitely a Hall of Fame player. Have a good life!

DE Kirk Rieke – Our only NFL Def. PotY in or career. Lots of AllPros, another HOF player!


CB Owen Ackerman – one All Pro, played his whole career for us with the Dolphins and then the Panthers. He was one of my best UFA acquisitions in the dynasty.

Abe’s Boys Elsewhere

OG Alec Petrovic – One All Pro, was a stud for me at OG, and he is heading out for his next career.


Staff Draft

We draft 6th. Any changes?

Our OC was hired as a head coach so we need to hire someone else. The top OC option is Earnest Dillon, a balanced lover, and I hire him

No other changes


I look at my roster. I have one RB FA, two LBs with Ragonesi and Donaldson, and CB Collier and S Ogden. The rest are RFAs so I make no changes.

What do I need to draft?

Backup – RBx2, A better backup than Ven Pelt at Qb if possible, CB, LBx2, WR,
Starter – OG, DT, FS,

Let’s head to FA!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2042 NFL FA Period #1

We are drafting 1.27. I interview OGs, DBs and DTs

We have 48 mill under our cap and 36 for new deals.

Who is coming up this year?

MLB Lonnie Hartman who has dropped to 50/50 – I will not resign
OG Lenny Cote – Probably not resigning
SLB Alvin Stone – 7th year vet,66/66. I may want to resign. What does he want? 54 mill 4 years. Let’s wait until post-draft
WR Harold DuBois – Wants 51 mill, 4 years. Nope
OG Mota – Wants 23 mill over 5 years. Done
S Davidson – Wants 15 mill for three years. Done

I sign some backups

I extend my K and LS

I add MLB to my starter want list in the draft.

I have 25 mill left in my cap

Any 2 years left I want to extend? I extend OT Farley. How about Schneider? He wants 51 mill over 4 years. Done.

Any targets I want to chase in FA?

Should I make an offer for FB Stanley Delgado – he is the 6th best FB in the league. But it would be 4 years and 26 mill so no thanks…


Week 9 – RB Brendan Buggelli signs with the Bucs

Week 10 – LB Donaldson signs with the Giants and CB Collier with the Bears

I’ll see you at the draft!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2042 NFL Amateur Draft

Drafting at the 1.1 spot is DC. Who do they take? OT Kirk Meier, the top overall player on the board.

Our pick arrives at 1.27.

Who is left?

Here are my needs….

Backup – RBx2, A better backup than Ven Pelt at Qb if possible, CB, LBx2, WR,
Starter – OG, DT, FS, MLB

If I could come away with a S (or a CB I move over), DT, OG or LB or quality here I’ll be happy.

Who do we have?

SS Clayton Jacke – Overrated- 3rd player on the board and top S
SS Carlton Winters – Hard to Read, 4th player and 2nd S on the board
OG Joe Wynn - Overrated – 5th player on the board, top OG
FS Roman Hicks – Ran out of interviews, 6th S on the board but looks good with the bars
LB Brock Pauley – Top player on the board, looks studly
OG Phillip Parrish – Very underrated


I like Parrish, Hicks or Pauley here


Wanna See?

https://i.ibb.co/K20nDfM/Jets-107.png

Here’s the very underrated OG. As you can see, he’s nice and well rounded.

https://i.ibb.co/2kBbPWV/Jets-108.png

Here’s the top player on the board, Brock Pauley, with no major weaknesses save for play d. He would be a great new MLB for me to replace Hartman.

https://i.ibb.co/wKMPwvx/Jets-109.png

Here’s Roman Hicks. Not the best at the bump and run and weaker st run d, but he looks pretty sexy

You need all three and it’s 1.27 so you are getting a solid contributor to the three needs on my roster. Who do I like?

[Abe Sargent]

Reasons for Each –

For Parrish – I have interviewed him and like him. That’s big. His bars are consistent.

Against Parrish - I get OGs all of the time later and it’s not uncommon to get them here at the back or the 1st or 2nd. Or even later. It’s the position of least need. Mota is 88 in run blocking pot and I don’t need the best OG in the world especially given my contract.

For LB Pauley – The MLB is a big need in a 4-3. This would be a big increase in value from 50/50 currently.

Against Pauley – I don’t need Pauley that much. I don’t need to be spending 1sts for LBs in a 4-3 when I have a better option, and I have studs elsewhere on the board I can snag.

For Hicks – DBs this good this good this late are rare. The OG and LB here isn’t that uncommon. Hicks is. Getting another stud in the defensive backfield could really shut things down.

Against Hicks – Will I be able to afford a nasty stud at each S? Am I just renting Hicks for a few years and then moving on? Isn’t this guy superfluous when I can start FS Davidson?

Hm…………………….

Parrish’s very underrated is valuable. Pauley’s bigger upgrade is valuable. Hicks’ rare studery this late is valuable….

Hicks, Pauley, or Parrish?

I do Hicks. It’s too rare not too. Without an interview it’s a gamble…but we lost on an As Scouted SS so I’ll take it.

2nd Round? Any starting talent left at OG, DT, or LB? It’s a reach, but the top OG is Russell Finch. Do I grab him? He’s a run blocking specialist which I like. I take him. Maybe he’ll boom like my LB did last year!

3rd Round? How about DT Jared Heard? Or LB Gabriel Miley? Or CB Omar McDonald? I do Heard. DT is a bigger need than LB. He looks like a grower.

4th round – The BAP is DE Dillon Becker but I don’t need DE, right? WR Enrique Ruth? I do Ruth.

5th Round – I need another D Back….who is the top one? Donald Sinclair is. I draft him.

6.26 – RB Marty Anderson?

7.27 – WLB Giovanni Huffman


Rookie Lookie #1

1.27 – S Roman Hicks, Davidsson; 32/73
2.26 – OG Russell Finch, Stanford; 33/55
3.27 – DT Jared Heard, Air Force; 33/42
4.26 – WR Enrique Ruth, Weber State; 29/42
5.27 – CB Donald Sinclair, Abilene Christian; 24/48
6.26 – RB Marty Anderson, Pittsburgh; 41/50
7.27 – WLB Giovanni Huffman, Stanford; 22/62

Not the best later part of the draft but I think it wasn’t as strong a draft as it could have been. In Hicks we Trust.

[Abe Sargent]

We have three franchise move votes. Here is what is happening

The Baltimore Ravens wanna move to Columbia in SC. That measure failed
The Jets wanna move to Richmond. That measure succeeds

Tennessee Titans want to move to Augusta. That move…also succeeds!

A decent rise by Heard as expected. Hello Anderson! Bust by Huffman.

Lots of busts by these guys

I cut these players to get to 53

WR DJ Mundt
RB Brendan Turner
OG Omar Higbee
DE Peyton Schwarzhaupt

I have 16 mill under the cap. Any 2 year extensions I wanna offer? OC Lynch? He wants 62 mill for 4 years. I agree

[Abe Sargent]

Wanna see my rookies?

Hicks is a pick-a-saurus-rex. He is the opposite of Ernie Weber! If he can pay like it? I’ll be pretty happy. I moved S Davidson to nickelback.

How about my 2nd round?

Here is Finch. Here’s not this amazing guy, and I wish some of that STR were in pass blocking, but he should prove solid in the run blocking game should he be called upon to do so.

[Abe Sargent]

On The Green Page we have nobody.

This rookie class feels disappointing so how did I actually do? Was it a weak draft?

Let’s look!

At RB, after booming in preseason, RB Anderson is now the 5th best Rb in the draft. This was a RB draft with three studs in the 70s. Only two in the 50s.

At WR Ruth, is 8th best

At OG Finch is the 4th best. The OG I was looking at at 1.27 was drafted 1.30 and is the 3rd best OG after busting at 41/64.

This was a non-draft for Dts. Heard was 2nd best.

LB Huffman is the 10th best at any position. My SLB I was eyeing at 1.27 is 45/67

At d-backs, Hicks is not only the best S but he’s the best DBack.

So when you look at that,the draft felt pretty weak.

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Pritchett – 224 of 356, 2583 yards, 19:9, 92.0 rating
QB Van Pelt – 114 of 177, 1252 yards, 10:9, 82.8 rating

A down year with injury

Rushing

RB Bonnell – 398 for 1689, 4.24 ypc, 13 scores

Bonnell was first in yards and scores.

Receiving


https://i.ibb.co/C05CTNZ/Jets-113.png

Here you go! This was a down year for Wilcox, but his 1188 yards were 4th in the league, and his 8 scores tied for 1st. DuBois a solid season in his final year with us. Bonnell a solid 548 yards on 56 grabs and he was more than 2.1k yards from scrimmage.

Blocking

https://i.ibb.co/SQn4cFh/Jets-114.pnghttp://


Farley had a great year for us in the KRBs with 3 pancakes and 5 sacks allowed. Tatum was2nd with 36 but his KRO was down so his KRB is obviously down as well. He had the highest blocking % by far. I can’t fault him for not being used that‘s a coaching decision.

Special Teams

K Mergen – 31 of 37, Long of 52; 45 of 45 PAT

A much better season this year!

P Holdgate – 86 punts, 49.1 average – nasty, 27 in 20 – not good

He was hot and cold. Nasty average that led the league but a lower % in 20.

We had no returns for scores this year

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.ibb.co/Cb8PFNm/Jets-115.png

Stone led my team in tackles and added 2.5 sacks. Three of my DEs rocked more than 5 sacks but this is a disappointing total for Shea. Benson only added 4.5 sacks. This was a down year for my sacks

Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/th1pSjM/Jets-116.png

Stone led my team in picks with 6 and notched a nice 9 pasdef. No LB got as many picks as he did and yet…no All Pro. We had a lot of picks with Davidson notching 5 picks and rookie Hicks 4. We had a lot of pasdef out there as well. It was a good year in this area!

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – Ot Grant Farley – His first All Pro! Good job sir!

Def. Player of the Year – SLB Alvin Stone – He led my team in two key assists and was robbed of an All Pro…

Special Teams Player of the Year – K Brent Mergen – Had no missed PATs! Solid FG numbers and one Game MVP.

Rookie of the Year – FS Roman Hicks – He was 3rd in picks, had a great pick six, notched double digit pasdef. Good job!

Heart Award – QB Maxwell Van Pelt – Stepped into the starting role for a serious stretch of games and did quite well for us in the wins. Good job!

[Abe Sargent]

I end the season and I score an 88

The 2043 NFL Offseason

Retirements of Note

Our AC retires at the age of 68

No Players on our team

Abe’s Boys

OC Derrick Dixon – 7th round draftee early in Dolphins, only was with the team for a few years before heading out to other teams

MLB Josiah Shaw – A nasty 4t rounder we played at MLB for a few years, and a franchise tag, but let go as he was too expensive. We replaced him with Hartman. All Pro 1x

WLB Jerald Ragonesi – A player with the Dolphins and with us as well

CB Bryan Hutcheson – Our 7th round wonder who broke out and won 5 All Pros!


Staff Draft

We draft 1st!

I hire Garrett Boles as our new AC, he’s 51, likes Off. Lineman, and has a 78 suitability.

No other changes happen


I have coming free 6 players including Hartman, DuBois, and Codgell and Compton. Do any make sense as franchise tags? Not really

What do I need for my team?

Starter – OG, TE maybe, DT, MLB,
Backup – TE, WR, C, OT, DE, LB, Cb

FA time!!!!

[Abe Sargent]

2043 NFL FA Period #1

I look at my draft for DT or OG talent that might fall as those are my biggest needs. Will they be there a the 1.32 is the biggest question. I interview 4 OGs, 4 TE, and 4 DT,

Let’s look at my roster


I cut TE Steve Schwartz. He has dropped to 26/26 and I cannot keep the 10 year vet on my team

I sign the RFA’s I want to. That leaves us with 42

I extend my K, P and LS

Which of my players with a 1 year left are of note?

CB Boucvalt, 19 mill, 4 years
TE Schultz – 29 mill, 3 years
WR Bryson Woodard – 12 mill, 2 years

I extend a few cheap backups I like, like LB Ellingson who is a special teams hoss. I sign Boucvalt and Woodard but Schultz is too pricey now. I’ll wait until post draft before making an offer for him

Now the next question. Do I wanna chase DE Jamal Compton? He didn’t want o resign last year as I didn’t use him enough but he’s a strong rotational guy. How much does he want?

I fast forward a week

Compton wants 89 mill, 5 years. No thanks!

I have 47 mill under the cap and I need 12 for draftees so we have 35, which is a lot. But I don’t have that much. Good luck Jamal!

Anyone else in FA I’d like to chase?

Nope!

Week 2 – DuBois signs with Pittsburgh, Cogdell signs with the Falcons

Week 4 – Compton is heading to Denver and yes, he got that cash.

The 12 weeks ends. We have four UFAs left. Ready for the draft?

[Abe Sargent]

The 2043 NFL Amateur Draft

Ready?

Drafting first is the Chargers and they grab QB Van Sutter. Our pick arrives at 1.32. Who do I like?

TE Scott Westbrook – 3rd best player on the board, okay bars, Overrated
WLB Donovan Wooden – Best player on the board, looks pretty good in the bars save for Man to Man, Zone and Play D.
DE Kendrick Hanks - 5th player on the board, okay bars,
DT Cory Henderson – Overrated
DT Darren Coffey – Hard to Read
DT Ray de Young – Better bars, no interview
OG Daquan Beaty – Underrated – top OG on he board – just okay run blocking

The top three TEs on the board are no longer so. Beaty is the only OG left I interviewed.

Who do I want?





I take de Young. He’s a gamble but one I’ll take as he could be a shower and drop. But he looks like a good shower.

2.32

TE Everett Ackerman? He’s a good pass catching specialist. WR Josue Zaccardelli seems pretty solid as well. DE Hanks is still on the board. Grab him? I don’t need a DE I have two but he’s the BAP. He’s not great at the pressure. I also really like SLB Jack Gaines. I do Gaines. He’s a position of need. Also a gamble as he didn’t go to the combine, but I like his bars.

3.32 – How about the top undrafted FB: Rasheed Whiting?

4.32 – OT Miles Cote has fallen and I need a backup. Do I snag him?

5.32 – OG Arturo Dole is solid but bad at the run blocking. How about backup Rick Butler at MLB?

6.32 – How about TE Francisco Dixon?

7.32 - RB Deion Westbrook? Or RB Steven Hawkins? Both look solid. I do Hawkins…


Rookie Lookie #1

1.32 – DT Ray de Young, Clemson, 44/83
2.32 – SLB Jack Gaines, Washington, 37/71
3.32 – FB Rashad Whiting, Mississippi State, 36/54
4.32 – OT Miles Cote, Tulane, 26/52
5.32 – MLB Rick Butler, Air Force, 28/52
6.32 – TE Francisco Dixon, Kansas, 25/44
7.32 – RB Steven Hawkins, Stanford, 39/51

There we are! This may be a two player draft but we’ll see! I move Gaines to MLB.

We are 3-1 in the preseason

Rookie Lookie #3

1.32 – DT Ray de Young, Clemson, 44/83; 50/85; 50/79
2.32 – SLB Jack Gaines, Washington, 37/71; 44/79; 47/71
3.32 – FB Rashad Whiting, Mississippi State, 36/54; 40/57; 46/66
4.32 – OT Miles Cote, Tulane, 26/52; 31/54; 34/66
5.32 – MLB Rick Butler, Air Force, 28/52; 32/55; 34/64
6.32 – TE Francisco Dixon, Kansas, 25/44; 28/46; 29/51
7.32 – RB Steven Hawkins, Stanford, 39/51; 44/52; 43/59

We had some later booms but some earlier fades. Gaines is back to where he was and de Young dropped as well. Ah well.

UFAs

Rb Deion Westbrook, 39/52; 41/48; 39/45

I cut these players:

RB Marlon Krzys

CB Luther Cheung


Which P am I doing…

Holdgate has a power of 98, and that’s it. 14 hang time, 16 directional punting, and a 6 holding. Dude has a nasty long leg, but that’s it. But he’s done well with that.

Grier is 64/76 in power, 54/65 hang time, 35/58 directional. He’s more well rounded. I keep Grier

[Abe Sargent]

Wanna see my rookies?

https://i.ibb.co/W5Sztv3/Jets-117.png

Here is Ray de Young, my 1.32 selection. As you can see he’s not great as the coverage but that’s not why we have a D Line. His hitting is his weakest spot. And that’s ain’t bad. He’s good at rush and run d. Welcome to the team!

https://i.ibb.co/F7ggmRZ/Jets-118.png

And here is Gaines whom we added at the end of the 2nd round. He’s well rounded and not weak in anything and he hits like a bear in heat. I look forward to his development!

[Abe Sargent]

On the Green Page we have de Young. At the 4 spot!

This draft had no non-K/P player with a potential more than 79. And we got one!

Rookie Investigation

At TE, Dixon was 8th, it was deep.

After booming in the preseason, Miles Cote is now the 4th best!

At P Grier is the best.

De Young is the best DT and the best D Line period. Okay! Nesbit is the 6th best DT after booming and he has a nasty 97 pass rush tech and 100 pass rush strength! After I grow him he’ll likely be my new Benson.

At LB Gaines is the 3rd best. Butler is 7th best.
 
Good stuff!

[Abe Sargent]

Do I want to extend two years or do I wanna extend TE Schultz? I have 36 mill available. Who is left with two years that’s a key player?

DE Shea.

And…

CB Bobo

And that’s it. What do they want?

Shea – 4 years, 73 mill
Bobo – 4 years, 73 mill

Huh!

What’s their cap hit? 13 mill for Bobo and 11 mill for Shea

I extend them both.

I have 10 mill under cap and won’t make any more offers for now.

The 2043 NFL Regular Season

I expect 12-4 this year as we are keeping adding in talent in the draft.

Week 1 – At the Saints – Again, an away game the NFC South to begin our season. We have lost this game the last two years. Can we switch things up this year? We lose 28-35, Pritchett is injured on the second possession and Van Pelt finished the game with 22 of 29, 207 and 1:0. Wilcox was 12 for 129 and TE Schultz with the score. Bonnell was 23 for 147 and 2 scores. 5 KRB by Gillespie

[Abe Sargent]

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Van Pelt – 329 of 488, 3762, 36:8, 108.1

He led in rating by a bunch, TDs by a bunch, but was middle of the pack for yards. That was arguably a better year than Pritchett with the Picks. He had more TDs, fewer picks, and a better rating than Pritchett ever did. So…now what?

Rushing

RB Bonnell – 326 for 1903, 5.84 ypc, 13 scores

Nasty! He almost got 2k yards rushing and was 600 yards in front of the next guy. Bonnell is a weapon!

Receiving

https://i.ibb.co/RjqM9NN/Jets-119.png

Here you go! Obviously with a Qb that has shorter tosses and fewer yards these guys won’t have as great a season. But Wilcox owned the TD record by 4 scores. We only had 9 WRs with 1000+ yards so there were a few places to send the scores. Bonnell a reduced received role as well as you saw but he was still a solid player!

Blocking


https://i.ibb.co/whVcpp8/Jets-120.png

That’s an amazing year by Tatum! He led all players with 54 KRB! Nice! Use that line! Farley a 2nd All Pro, and I’m happy with that.

Special Teams

K Mergen – 33 of 39, Long of 47, 60 of 61 Pat

Solid year by Mergen – tons of PATS.

P Grier – 65 punts, 45.4 avg, 27 in 20

Now a bad year for the rookie

1 PR RET TD by Brandenfeis; two by Wilcox

Great!

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.ibb.co/X4dRLYr/Jets-121.png

As you can see, Stone led my team in tackles again. Shea notched TWENTY-THREE SACKS!!! Holy crap! That’s a lot of sacks. Conyers also crossed into double digits and was 4th most in sacks in the league! Benson notched 9 sacks and got All Pro, which is nice. Good job everyone! We exploded in sacks all over!


Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/Npdp3hx/Jets-122.png

Davidson and Hicks each with 6 picks. Good job folks! I am shocked they were not All Pro. They were tied for 2nd most picks in the league and were the most among Ss. How did that not get them an All Pro? Silly! Good stuff!

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – RB Ronald Bonnell – Another league MVP and he dominated. Good job Bonnell!

Def. Player of the Year – DE Colby Shea – He won my 2nd Def. Player of the Year for the league and had my best season for a DE in this dynasty and had 4 Game MVPs and 5 sacks in one game and 4.5 in another!!!

Special Teams Player of the Year – WR Braxton Wilcox – He grabbed two returns for us while Brandenfeis was injured. Good job!

Rookie of the Year – FB Rasheed Whiting – A rookie with an All Pro! Nice!

Heart Award – QB Maxwell Van Pelt – Dude turned in my best season at QB for the Panthers! Good job!

I end the season and I score a 91

The 2044 NFL Offseason

Retirements of Note

No one on our team

Abe’s Boys

WR Brandon Lim – That feels. Hopefully our studly Wr will make the HOF! He retired with 3 rings and four All Pros. That’s it

Staff Draft

I retain my DC and HC and give them raises. We draft 3r. Any changes? Our AC was hired as a coordinator. I hire Tre'Davious White a 49 year old that loves secondary.

I have four players that aren’t RFAs – TE Schultz, DT Henry, DE Malone and OG Nixon

A tag for Schultz is 14 mill. No thanks!

I am over the cap and we’ll need some fun stuff.

Needs

Starter – TE, Stud OG only
Backup – LB, DBack, DE, DT, OG if no stud taken, TE

We don’t need that much so I’ll likely just BAP and hope to cut some contracts.

We head to FA!

[Abe Sargent]

Oh I forgot to check but QB Tony Rhem made the Hall of Fame with 100% of the vote!

OLB Bruce Norton made it last year!!! Of course his five All Pros, Def Rookie of the Year and 4 Super Bowl victories may have helped!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2044 NFL FA Period #1

We are drafting 1.27. Who do I like?

I interview a stud FB, some TEs and OGs. I also interview some OTs in case I wanna draft one and move it to OG.

I have 42 under contract without signing my RFAs. We have 2 mill over the cap and we need some for rookies and UFAs so we need to clear up some space. Any big names in the final year of their deal I can cut cap space for to extend?

In order to extend Van Pelt beyond this year (his last year) we need 4 years and 105 mill dollars. I cannot do that so my QB situation isn’t going budget by embracing Van Pelt. Sad. I cannot commit to him as my salary cap option.


I extend Pritchett and his cap hit this year drops to 20 from 42. I hate it! But the cap requires me to

I now have 7 mill free for players. I reach out to sign my RFAs

DT Nesbit won’t resign due to playing time issues

I cannot extend these backups due to cost:

TE Lemmon
WR Woodard


My starters that are in the last year of their deal and what they want…

OT Kurt Gillespie – 7th year vet, 4 years, 62 mill, drop in cap by 1 mill this year
DT Taylor Benson – 7th year vet, 4 years, 44 mill, drop in cap by 600k
WLB Vernon Carpenter – 4th year vet, 17.5 mill, 4 years, increase in cap hit of 1.7 mill
FS Morris Davidson – 6th year vet, 3 years, 11 mill, 1.6 mill drop
CB Eli Zaiser – 7th year vet, 2 years, 20 mill, 6 mill drop
DE Wayne Conyers – 4th year vet, 64 mill, 4 years, 10 mill hit

Hmmm… I extend Davidson.

I’ll hold off of Zaiser, I’ll let him go at the end of the year. I’ll also not extend Gillespie as I may draft a replacement given his 7th year and no All Pro status. I extend Benson. I was going to cut him for Nesbit now that he’s developed enough as he is a better pass rusher, but that is no longer an option. Carpenter is cheap, which I love, and getting a 64/64 starter for years at that price is very nice, but I suspect I’ll start Butler at WLB once Carpenter leaves barring a replacement in the draft.


I have 6.4 mill left but I won’t chase anyone or extend anyone else right now

Wait… TE Percy Schultz only wants 18 mill for 4 years. Do I chase him in FA? He wanted 9 mill per year to extend him… I hold off. I am too tight to the cap.

Week 7 – Schultz signs with the Bills

I’ll see you at the draft!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2044 NFL Amateur Draft

Picking at the top spot is Dallas. They take WR Jonah Shepherd.

Our pick arrives at 1.27. Who do I like?

No TEs have been taken but this is not a very good draft for them. I was targeted FB Carter Flynn, Hard to Read. He’s a gamble, but he looks good with the bars. My hope is that Flynn will be my next TE Derr or Freeman. I am comfortable with this game here as we have a developed team. Anyone else I like? It was a weak O Line draft.

OG Mercury Horn – Very overrated
OG Don Kirk – Horrible bars, very underrated
OT Orlando Kelley – As Scouted – not great bars

I grab Flynn. I’ll see you at the 2.28!

2.28 – DE Steven Thornton is the BAP. Do I grab him? How about OG Don Kirk who I scouted? Kirk is raw and needs serious development. I take Kirk. He’s a gamble, but he should be a grower.

3rd round! Who do I like? How about FS Darien Fitzgerald?

4th round – DE Stan Cromwell is the best on the board by a lot and I take him.

5th Round - OC Colby Pollack is undrafted and has fallen. A LOT. I grab him.

6th round – I snag the best LB on the board MLB Cole Albritton.

7th round – CB Maxwell Wyden is the best on the board… bad picks though. No thanks. How about Te Ray Fender, 2nd best on the board and good at snagging the ball.

I move Flynn to TE.

Rookie Lookie #1

1.27 – TE/FB Carter Flynn, Wisconsin – Platteville, 35/68
2.28 – OG Don Kirk, Wake Forest, 17/64
3.27 – FS Darien Fitzgerald, Oklahoma State, 19/47
4.28 – DE Stan Cromwell, Ohio State, 21/53
5.27 – OC Colby Pollack, Arkansas State, 42/74
6.28 - LB Cole Albritton, Washington, 28/47
7.27 – TE Ray Fender, North Carolina, 18/44

Rookie Lookie #3

1.27 – TE/FB Carter Flynn, Wisconsin – Platteville, 35/68, 40/68; 39/63
2.28 – OG Don Kirk, Wake Forest, 17/64, 24/67; 30/81
3.27 – FS Darien Fitzgerald, Oklahoma State, 19/47, 25/45; 25/53

6.28 - LB Cole Albritton, Washington, 28/47, 32/45; 34/55
7.27 – TE Ray Fender, North Carolina, 18/44, 20/42; 19/38

UFAs

TE A.J. Lindsay, 20/43, 23/44; 24/50
TE Ivan Kempe, 20/48, 22/46; 22/39
DE Orlando Johnson, 24/51, 28/50; 28/47

CB Maxwell Wyden, 26/54, 31/51; 30/47
CB Colby Lang, 20/44, 23/37; 21/36

Well the random numbers giveth and taketh away!

As you can see Kirk boomed like we thought he would which is great! OC Pollack also boomed, good job! Fitzgerald, Albritton also grew, but TE Flynn, DE Cromwell, and TE Fender dropped and most of my UFAs fell with them!

I cut these players

OG Duane Mota – He has started for me, but his 56/56 body is finally replaced by Kirk years after I tried to find a permanent fixture

OC Al Lynch – He’s on a stud contract, he’s never gotten me an All Pro or anything else. I have his replacement as well.

That frees up 20 mill on my cap

Other cuts

TE Ray Fender
TE Ivan Kempe
Cb Colby Lang

[Abe Sargent]

I have 25 mill left. Any 2 years folks I want to keep?

The big one on that list is FS Hicks. He wants 95 mill, 5 years. I do it.

Wanna see our rookies?

https://i.ibb.co/KKtwT4X/Jets-123.png

Here’s Flynn. As you can see, he’s not a stud at the run blocking like my others. He is well rounded with few weaknesses and few strengths. I hope he can Derr it up!

https://i.ibb.co/L8nLW8W/Jets-124.png

Here’s the very green Don Kirk. You can see him there needing development. We’ll start him to help with that! I’ve been looking for a stud OG for a while and had a famous Higbee bust previously. He’s solid!

[Abe Sargent]

On The Green Page is Kirk.

Rookie Investigation

There are four rookies in the league with a potential of 80 or more. We have 2 with Kirk and Pollack! A stud DE was on the board at our pick at 1.27 and went 2.3. He’s 52/81. We also have a 55/85 MLB.

This was not a good year for QBing as the best one is at 46 pot.

At TE Flynn is the best at 39/63. There is one at 33/61 right behind us.

Pollack and Kirk are the best, obviously

DE Tito Franz is waaaay down on the DE list at 15.

LB Albritton is the 12th best LB from the draft

FS Fitzgerald is the 9th best dback and the 6th best S

And there we are!

You’ll notice that players like Bonnell have dropped a bit. MLB Gaines dropped from his rookie year last year! Sad. CB Bobo dropped as well. RB Anderson rose to 64/64/.

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Pritchett – 352 of 543, 3737, 33:10, 97.3 rating

That was not where he normally is in the yards, but that was a personal best for him in rating, TDs and fewest picks.

Rushing

RB Bonnell – 362 for 1843, 5.09 ypc, 18 scores

He led the league in yards, TDs, and his ypc was 2nd among qualifiers. Good job!


Receiving

https://i.imgur.com/D7V2BKR.png

Here you can see Wilcox is back to getting around 1200 yards on the season. He has a better connection with Pritchett than Van Pelt. Bonnell was down with just 350 yards. Flynn was fine in his debut year.

Blocking


https://i.imgur.com/pyqjrS7.png

I know he got an All Pro, but Tatum needs to do better with that many KROs. Kirk and Pollack were fine in their debut years.

Special Teams

K Mergen – 29 of 31, Long of 49, 53 of 59 PAT

That was fine until the PAT line.

P Grier – 91 punts, 45.6 avg, 32 in 20

Not bad. Not great

Brandenfeis clocked in THREE PR RET TDs.Nasty!

[Abe Sargent]

Defense


https://i.imgur.com/KOdSXrG.png

Gaines led my team in tackles this year, and you can see he grabbed 4.5 sacks as well. Good job. Shea with another 20+ sack year and this time Benson cracked double digits! Conyers gave me another 7.5 sacks, down from last year and he’s heading out to FA. De Young didn’t come on like we needed, but Shea was quiet until year three last year as well.

Pass Coverage

https://i.imgur.com/3rRm1rz.png


Gaines got a ton of picks and led my team in picks and had 3rd most pasdef t 14. He also led the league in picks. Stone’s 5 was solid and Hicks and Boucvalt also got 4 each with Hicks’ leading my pasdef. Good job!

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – QB Wayne Pritchett – He finally put it all tighter and we have a perfect season! Good job!

Def. Player of the Year – MLB Jack Gaines – I know Shea got Def. PotY for the league, but this guy got his first all pro, led the league in picks, and had a great sophomore season!

Special Teams Player of the Year – PR/KR Marco Brandenfeis – Three returns for scores? Duh!

Rookie of the Year – OG Don Kirk – The best of my rookie O Lineman. Solid. Good job!

Heart Award – RB Marty Anderson – Really did a good job spelling Bonnell in the last game of the year and a playoff game. Good job Anderson!

[Abe Sargent]

It’s time

We took over the Panthers after they finished 0-16. Now they were 19-0. That symmetry is too perfect to mess with.

Here is my record with the Panthers

2038 – 3-13
2039 – 6-10
2040 – 12-4, Lost Week 2 in Playoffs
2041 -10-6 – Lost Week 2 in Playoffs
2042 – 13-3 – Won Super Bowl
2043 – 14-2 – Lost Week 2 in Playoffs
2044 – 16-0 – Won Super Bowl

Seven years and two bowls!

Who do I want next?

How about the 5-10-1 Bucs? Same division as the Panthers, but they won’t come in with the top pick. There is one 3-13 team and one 5-11s so they’ll draft 3rd or 4th as another team had the same record…

[Abe Sargent]

I end the season – I score a 97

The 2045 NFL Offseason

Hall of Fame

RB Preston Fones – Was a stud for me with the Dolphins, got a 2k yard season, was a great guy!

Retirements of Note

QB BJ Vance – Played with Fones over at the Dolphins. Just two rings and tons of awards.

TE Wyatt Freeman – Another played from my Dolphins dynasty. Never won an All Pro.

WR Marshall Collier- A solid WR I drafted at the Dolphins and then let go and signed with the Panthers.

LB Louis Hartman – Drafted by Miami and with us for a few years as a starter with the Panthers



I swap to the Bucs

They have the 3rd largest losing record and no Super Bowl since 2018.

[Abe Sargent]

Staff Draft

We draft 30th. Yuck!

Our Head Coach is Ty Cassidy, with a solid set of stats, 64 years old and helps the TEs. Our pick arrives and I swap to Ryan Smith, 52 years old, works well with the secondary. He was the better HC by quite a bit


Our OC is Jackie McGee who is with the spread offense. The top is a guy with the West Coast offensive. I grab the top balanced offensive coach on the board - Devan Hunziker, 52, strong with QBs, but he’s weak at player d.

At defense our DC is Thomas McGaughey who is 72 years old and likes the True 3-4. I hire my Panthers AC who is the best on the board - Tre'Davious White, also a True 3-4.

My AC is Curtis Crompton and I keep him. I also keep our SC Neil Raglin

We are 30 million over the cap!

Any Abe’s Boys I want to franchise? Nope!

I’ll see you at the FA'ing!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2045 FA Period #1

We draft 1.4

There are no Qbs that are draftable after I interview them. There’s a stud RB that’s As Scouted but I’m not sure it’ll come.

I cut all of my players save for these:

P Quinn Holdgate
RCB Tanner Prior

I now have 180 mill for new players…

I advance FA by one week

I make offers to these UFAs

QB Maxwell Van Pelt – 35 mill, 3 years
TE Teddy Lemmon – 13 mill, 3 years
WR Bryson Woodard – 32 mill, 4 years
OC Al Lynch – 56 mill, 3 years
OG Duane Mota – 33 mill, 3 years
DE Wayne Conyers – 101 mill, 5 years
WLB Vernon Carpenter – 15 mill, 3 years
SLB Carson Warren – 8 mill, 2 years
MLB Rickey Chesnut – 12 mill,3 years
CB Tito Bobo - 50 mill, 4 years
CB Eli Zaiser – 34 mill, 3 years

Week 2 – We sign Lemmon and Zaiser.

Week 3 – Chestnut signs with Carolina for less money. We sign Lynch, Carpenter, Bobo and Conyers.

Week 4 – We sign Van Pelt

Week 6 – We sign Mota

Week 9 – Warren signs

I have 98 mill for new players.

I head to the draft

[Abe Sargent]

The 2045 NFL Amateur Draft

My goal is that the As Scouted RB stud is on the board at 1.4 I can take and build around. I’d love to build around Van Pelt and see if I can get him to the playoffs again as an undrafted QB. My one regret with the Panthers wasn’t getting him a ring as the starter two years ago. If I could get Zachery Weaver at 1.4 I’d be pretty happy. But I doubt it’ll happen. Let’s look…


At the 1.1 spot is the Packers. They take… QB Edgar Goodlink. Good. Two picks left…

1.2 – RB Zachary Weaver. Blast it!
1.3 – QB Nate Buie


Who do I like now?

TE Howie Rodriguez – Underrated – Top Player on the Board
CB Alan Lang – Underrated, absolute stud
RB Riddick Lang – Overrated – not as good bars
WR Trey Walkley – Hard to Read ,pretty good
WR Kris Malone – Very Underrated – pretty good but weak at avoid drops and 3rd down catching


I’m leaning towards Walkley or Malone. Netting a strong WR may not be that needed. Kirk Barber was taken early and was one of the best but he never played up to it. Lim was early and did play up to it. Wilcox wasn’t as good as either and was a 2nd rounder, but he still played to it. I don’t think I need to waste a 1.4 on WR based on my Panthers performance. But I do need to come away with a solid WR, and I think either would do. So which one? Better bars or very underrated?

Here’s Walkley. As you can see he’s great everywhere save for big play and adjust where he’s strong.

And here is Malone. As you can see, he’s not good with two things and worse in others, but very underrated vs Hard to Read is an interesting choice. Who would you go with?

https://i.imgur.com/WMW6aRY.png

I'll see you later!


I'll sleep on it...

This is a classic case of Shower vs Grower.

[Abe Sargent]

Let’s pause.

What would the Panthers want for Davidson? He’s a fan favorite so nothing he’s not available. How about Benson? Not even a 4th rounder. Too high. How about OT Miles Cote? Not even a 2nd! Not even a 2ndf for 3rd string RB Steven Hawkins. Ah well.


A good reason for Malone that I missed is that he’s also good at returning and can be my Brandenfeis in that role. Who am I taking? Walkley. He looks good. He’s a gamble which I don’t like in my first year. But I think he’s fine even if he drops a bit.

Alright I’ll see you at the 2.3 spot!

I accidentally hit the Staff Draft button and then I accidentally hit the save button instead of the load button (they are next to each other) and that saved over my draft. I don’t save scum so I only had one save for the offseason… I’d have to restart the offseason….

That’s another big punch in the stomach this dynasty had had.

[Abe Sargent]

I play it again! I’ll keep the old stuff as a relic for consideration

These changes…

Staff Draft – my HC change is the same, my OC is not on the board and the best balanced is worse than our guy so I take a different Offseason dork - Winston Logan, West Coast Offense, 64 years old. Same DC.


In FA I am chasing these players as well – WR Marco Brandenfeis, whom we sign. We keep our targets although I had to play more defense and some are on more expensive deals (Lynch)

[Abe Sargent]

The 2045 NFL Amateur Draft Take 2

The packers take at 1.1 QB Demetrius Potter

1.2– Cb – good
1.3 – QB – good

That leaves me with the best Rb on the board, Hard to Read Cesar Lemoine. He’s not nearly as good the top Rb in the previous draft though. The next RB, Silas Kanou, is better at power inside and breakaway but is also Hard to Read.

There aren’t even any stud OTs for me to slide into. I take Lemoine and hope he turns out okay.

I’ll see you in 31.

2.3 – I like OT DeAndre Hymes. DE Efrain Echols is nasty! WLB Thurman Roupenian? Hymes.

3.4 - Wade Pederson TE? I also like DE Mitch Densmore. FS Alec Spradling? Let’s do Densmore.

4.3 – OG Johnnie Peterman?

5.4 - DT Alexis Drew?

6.3 – DE J.J. Henson? - BAP

7.4 – SLB Zack Newman?

Rookie Lookie #1

1.4 – RB Cesar Lemoine, Harvard, 53/73

[Abe Sargent]

Wanna see my rookies?


Okay!

https://i.imgur.com/NGzJ0a1.png

Here’s my top pick, Cesar Lemoine! He’s okay. I’ll try to ride him like I have Fones and Bonnell. He’s not great inside, but he’s solid at breaking away and he’s well rounded in a lot of places with no major weaknesses.

I’ll skip my 2nd round bust-ish OT and give you my biggest boom OG Peterman


https://i.imgur.com/nxHV6BS.png

Here you go! He’s a solid player with good run and pass blocking.

[Abe Sargent]

On The Green Page we have Lemoine and DT Drew.

Rookie Investigation

At RB, Lemoine was the best in the league. The other guy I was looking at finished at 52/62. It sucks I had to spend a 1.4 for it, but we got it.

After booming, Peterman is the 2nd best OG

Despite busting, OT Hymes was 3rd best.

This was a deep D Line draft with 3 80s, 4 70s,and 11 60s in the draft! We got the DT and DE that are in the 60s.

This was a weak LB draft across all ILBs and Slbs, there are only 4 players with a 50 or more pot. One of those was UFA Wiley, 4th best

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Van Pelt – 285 of 520, 3046, 15:11, 72.9 rating

Down years but he dropped in ability.

Rushing

I’ll skip since Lemoine was only starting 7 games.

Receiving

https://i.imgur.com/FNwTG8a.png

Here are our receiving stats instead. Woodard led our team with 790 yards, and 6 scores - good stuff! Lemmon was second, also a good job for the TE.


Blocking

https://i.imgur.com/YiSm4Bb.png

We didn’t do well here at all! As you can see.

Special Teams

K Shannon – 11 of 13, Long of 47, 21 of 22 PAT

Not a good year for our offense…

P Holdgate – 120 punts, 48.6 avg, 44 in 20

Great stats by Holdgate!

Brandenfeis – 2 PR RET TDs!

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.imgur.com/4YSBXiB.png

Carpenter led my team in tackles and was solid in other places like sacks. Conyers notched just 7.5 sacks but this was a down year for them. Not as many sacks from other places as I’d like.


Pass Coverage

https://i.imgur.com/G14uhOm.png


We only had 5 picks on the year which was really bad. And not great in the pasdef either.

DT Jonah Joseph – Finished his career with tons of All Pros, was a stud and hoss for my Dolphins team in the first draft there and was arguably more important to their success than 1st round pick QB Vance.


Retirements of Note

SLB Carson Warren – Drafted at the Dolphins late and came in and played for my 3-4 Bucs. Good luck Warren!

The 2046 NFL FA Period #1

Can I get a stud QB from this draft? I was hoping to build around Van Pelt and thought that would be a different way to try to make this work! But he busted and we need to come out of this year with a QB. We have two studs but both are Hard to Read. I also interview some folks in other places as well like OT, WR and TE to target at 2.1

I sign all of my RFAs. I have 51 under contract and 18 mill for new players (I have lost 113 mill from last year’s purge)

I advance a day and make offers to…

WLB Giovanni Huffman, 5 years, 6.9 mill, 3 years

DT Jared Heard is available but I already have a NT and I only need one

Week 2 – Huffman signs!

I’ll see you at the draft!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2046 NFL Amateur Draft


We arrive and let me show you our two choices…

https://i.imgur.com/sBHgfD0.png

This is Alejandro Abrams. As you can see he’s strong at passing ranges other than deep, is very accurate and has all of the mentals save for reading d. I also like his low scrambling so he won’t steal carries from my RB. And he is hard to read. He is the top rated QB in the draft

https://i.imgur.com/iwngQsR.png

And here is Deion Kemp, the 2nd rated B in the draft. He’s much more well rounded than Abrams, but he’s really bad at the two minute offense. I also like his lower scrambling. He’s also Hard to read…


So which one to do? With my luck my guy will bust and the other one will stand strong…

[Abe Sargent]

I take Abrams as he appears to be the best overall dork. And I like the alliterate name he sounds like a super hero – Lois Lane, Peter Parker, etc.

I’ll see you in 32!

2.1 – Who do I like that I targeted? FB Trent Gibson? The top TE went off the board a few picks ago and I don’t like any others. WR Larry Berry or Bradley McKnight? They aren’t amazing though. OT Mackenzie Shannon? I like Shannon a lot. He’s a run blocking specialist.

3.1 – How about FS Raul Boyd? Very few dbacks are left of quality and we need to get one somewhere.

4.1 – OG Raymond Coffey? He’s the top OG on the board. I grab him.

5.1 – SS Richie O'Donnell? SLB Allen Nemecheck? I go LB.

6.1 – How about DT Brody Newman? He’s the BAP and looks like he might be a grower.

7.1 – I need more LBs. The best on the board is WLB Clay Hopkins. Let’s grab him.

Rookie Lookie #1

1.1 – QB Alejandro Adams, Florida; 22/77

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Adams – 273 of 514, 2590, 9:15, 61.0.

We’ll need to work on this a lot

Rushing

With another injury to Lemoine we’ll skip this, but he did have 4.91 ypc on 141 carries in 9 games

Receiving

https://i.imgur.com/RhrHFRB.png

This was obviously a down year in passing and receiving as well.

Blocking

https://i.imgur.com/vZB7hCX.png

Shannon was disappointing in his 14 games with just 8 KRB. Lynch led my team in KRB and had the fewest sacks at just 3.

Special Teams

K Poston – 23 of 25, Long of 54, 22 of 23 PAT

That was a pretty good year for the rookie!

P Holdgate – 107 punts, 49.1 avg, 46 in the 20

Great year for Holdgate! He led the league in avg and was 3rd in % inside the 30

We had zero KR or PR RET TDs

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.imgur.com/t8JRTpG.png


Willey had a great year as my LB with a ton of tackles! Carpenter was second with 113 and he notched a nasty 7.0 sacks. I feel like I have unleashed him in a 3-4. Hopkins was with 3.5 sacks. Conyers had a very bad year and we’ll need to see improvement from him or else we’ll replace him.

Pass Coverage

https://i.imgur.com/WVndpzJ.png

Rookie Raul Boyd led my team in picks and pasdef and had a strong rookie season despite his bust. Carpenter notched a pair of picks and one pick six. Good stuff!

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – C Al Lynch – My best O Line in a down year for my O Line and others on my offense was Al Lynch. Good job!

Def. Player of the Year – SLB Vernon Carpenter – Dude gets All Pro? Dude gets my personal award as well!

Special Teams Player of the Year – P Quinn Holdgate – This is his 3rd All Pro! Good job Quinn!

Rookie of the Year – K Risky Poston – He missed just two FGs and one PAT as a rookie? That’s worthy of my RotY award!

Heart Award – RB Brad Kelly – As Lemoine’s backup, notched 148 for 496 with 3 scores and had a solid campaign!

Staff Draft

We pick 23rd. I keep my HC. OC, DC, AC and SC

I’ll see you in FAs

[Abe Sargent]

The 2047 NFL FA Period #1

We pick 1st and I need to emerge with a solid WR. I scout a few to target 1.1 or 2.1 I interview the top 5 WRs on the board. The top is a Hard to Read one and we’ll see what happens. I also interview 4 d backs, 2 TEs. Most come back very or normally overrated.

I sign my RFAs. We have 53 under contract and 92 mill in cap space

Who is in the final year of their deal, and what do they want

QB Van Pelt – 11 mill, 2 years – won’t sign he’s livid
CB Eli Zaiser – He’s down to 44/44, I’ll let him go after this year
TE Lemmon – He’s down to 42/42, I’ll also let him go after this year
SLB Carpenter – He wants 56 mill, 4 years

I give Carpenter his bigger deal after an All Pro last year.

Anyone I wanna make an offer to?

I make an offer to FS Morris Davidson. 15 mill, 3 years

K Brent Mergen was cut for cap reasons but I like my new K.

TE Percy Schultz – 10 mill, 2 years

TE Francisco Dixon – 19 mill 4 years

CB Theodore Boucvalt will be 65 mill for 3 years. Too pricey.

Week 2 – We sign TE Dixon

Week 9 – Davidson signs

Week 11 – Schultz signs!

I’ll see you at the draft!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2047 NFL Amateur Draft

I draft at the 1.1 WR Wesley Cleghorn who is Hard to Read.

2.1 – There is a stud RB still on the board if I didn’t have my RB – Mack Rhett. I really like CB Sammy Miller here so I grab him.


3.1 – Hmmm… How about Cb Brett Cavoretto? If they both work I can move one to S.


4.1 – How about WLB Will Carney? He’s the BAP at any position.


5.1 – Hmmmm… I take the top O Line on the board, OC Chandler Macias who seems to have fallen. Could play him out of position if needed.


6.1 – I need a solid backup RB – can the top RB on the board Tre Hartman help?


7.1 – I need another adequate WR and the top one on the board is WR Greg Vila. He looks like a grower.


Rookie Lookie #1

1.1 – WR Wesley Cleghorn, Arkansas, 51/76
2.1 – CB Sammy Miller, Georgia, 31/64
3.1 – CB Brett Cavoretto, Auburn, 26/60
4.1 – WLB Will Carney, Arkansas, 27/73
5.1 – OC Chandler Macias, Texas Tech, 37/70

The 2047 NFL Preseason

I hand out 14 deactives and massage my depth chart.

I start OC Macias as I may want to swap over from Lynch who is in his 8th year, and OG Coffey over Mota.

DE Wayne Conyers has boomed nastily into a 72/72 DE. Hopefully he’ll play like it! Bobo and Zaiser have dropped. I am starting rookies Miller and Cavoretto.

Week 2 – At the Jets – We lose 9-20

Week 3 – Chiefs – We win 10-6

Man that is so irritating what happened to Miller and Cavoretto! Sigh… I wish I had signed that expensive CB now. Ah well. I thought this was such a good draft too! WR Vila was a good thing, and Macias grew better so it’s not all bad.

Wanna see the top rookie?

https://i.imgur.com/IcnPTwD.png

Due to some busts this draft may be all about Cleghorn but he’s a solid guy, as you can see! His only weakness is adjustments to that ball. My hope is that Cleghorn is out Barber/Lim/Wilcox of my team that unlocks the next level.

Now let’s dig in deeper than 2 for my next rookie. How about round 4?

https://i.imgur.com/p4GJmwJ.png


This is SILB Will Carney, a solid SILB who is good at many things not named pass rush style. I have named him my starting SILB in 3-4 roles and my MLB when we start three LBs. Welcome to the team Carney!

[Abe Sargent]

On the Green Page I have Cleghorn only.

Rookie Investigation

At WR Cleghorn is #1. After booming to 60 pot, Vila is 4th best.

RB Hartman is 7th best

C Macias is the best in the draft

At LB Carney is the 3rd best at any position.

After busting Miller is the 9th best CB and Cavoretto is the 11th best

The 2047 NFL Regular Season

I don’t think this year is the year that everything finally comes together like year 3 of other ones. We are too green, and have too many busts or not-stars. I’ll skip losses again this season for those reasons…

Week 1 – Panthers – Well at least we are at home against the nasty Panthers! We beat them here last year and knocked them out of the playoffs. My guess is they won’t be that accommodating this time around! We lose 10-26.

Week 2 -Jaguars – We win 33-12! MVP is Abrams with 29 of 37, 279 and 2:0 hitting for scores Cleghorn 10 times for 104 yards and both scores. Pick by Davidson, of course, and a pick six by WLB Hopkins. FF By Carpenter, Conyers and Nemecheck.

Week 3 – Seahawks – We win 37-21. Well maybe this will be the year we are back! MVP is Abrams who was 17 of 25, 250 and 3:0. Schultz was 5 for 100 and 1 score. Scores by Brandenfeis and Brandenfeis. Picks by Davidson, Carney and Galenaw. Rookie SILB Carneys was returned for a score. FF by DT Newman. 2.5 sacks by Conyers.

Week 4 – At the Falcons – We lose 16-24

We are 2-2 at the quarter.

[Abe Sargent]

Week 5 – At the Vikings – We lose 13-30

Week 6 – Saints – We win 30-23! Abrams is 13 of 29, 188 and 1:0 hitting for a score Schultz. Brandenfeis with a 76 yard PR return that was the difference. 3 pasdef by Carpenter.

Week 7 – At the Lions – We lose 18-21

Week 8 – BYE

Week 9 – Packers – 6-1! But we are at home. We fail to give them their 2nd loss os the seaon and lose 13-20

We are 3-5

[Abe Sargent]

Week 10 – Bears – 6-2. Can we send them home with a loss? We do! We win 29-20. MVp is K Poston with 5 for 5 in FGs. Lemoine, 23 for 102, and 1 score. Abrams was 22 of 37, 175 and 1:1, score by Lemoine. Pick by Boyd, FF by DT Newman.

Week 11 – At the Panthers – Uh oh. We lose 10-33

Week 12 – At the Texans – We lose 27-30

CB Bobo is out for a few weeks

Week 13 – At the Cowboys – Back to back games in Texas! We lose 17-20

We are 4-8

[Abe Sargent]

Week 14 – Colts – We lose 24-17

Week 15 – At the Saints – We lose 31-16

WR Woodard is out

Week 16 – At Augusta Titans – We lose 10-14

Week 17 – Falcons – We lose 26-20

We finish 4-12. There are 5 teams with 4-12 the worst record in the league.

Stats

Offense


Passing

QB Adams – 325 for 535, 3383 yard,s 17:11, 81.1 rating

Better than last year and he is growing! But we need a lot more development from the lad!

Rushing

RB Lemoine – 252 for 811, 3.19 ypc, 3 rush score

Lemoine sucked in his first year without an injury

Receiving


https://i.imgur.com/Q7X5N5Y.png

Cleghorn was nasty! 197 targets? 118 snags? 1227 yards? 7 scores? He was 4th in yards. Brandenfeis was fine and TE Schultz really showed up despite his age.

Blocking

https://i.imgur.com/o0uDA1k.png

It was a down year for my blocking, and Coffey was with 31 KRB and did a good job with block % and just 3 sacks. Macias had a fine rookie campaign as well.

Special Teams

K Poston – 34 of 48, Long of 58, 25 of 25 PAT

He missed FOURTEEN FGs?

P Holdgate – 81 punts, 47.9 avg, 35 in 20.

Another good year!

Brandenfeis was with 1 KR RET TD and 1 PR RET TD. Good job!

[Abe Sargent]

Defense


https://i.imgur.com/SkwlQvf.png

Here is our defensive stuff. Carpenter leads my team in tackles and notched 4.0 sacks, 2nd among my LBs with WLB Hopkins notching 5.5. Conyers was better but not that much and Pinkney out rushed him with a team leading 8.5 sacks.

Pass Coverage

https://i.imgur.com/PWOWB8W.png

Davidson led my team in picks, of course. We had few picks and fewer pasdef. It was a big down year here which is really sad!

Staff Draft

We pick 26th. I keep my HC, OC, DC, AC and SC

Time for FAing fun times!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2048 NFL FA Period #1

We are drafting 1.5, 2.4, 3.3, 4.2, and 5.1

My team is starving for D backs so my hope is that I can peel off a stud CB or S in the draft at the 1.5 spot. I also interview RBs as this may be the only time we have a pick to take one and Lemoine has not impressed after he broke down to 63/63. I interview the top 5 CBs, the top 4 RBs, I interview a stud OT, 2 S. I hope to find my 1.5 among them! There are two stud Qbs on the board I hope are taken somewhere in 1.1 to 1.4 to reduce the number of options available to us.

Did you notice this? Our wins Year 1? 1. Our wins Year 2? 2. Our Wins Year 3? 4. It’s doubled each time. That means we’ll be 8-8 next year and 16-0 the following!

I sign my RFAs save for two I don’t wanna bring back. We have 3 UFAs – QB Van Pelt, CB Zaiser, OG Mota. I won’t chase any of them.

We have 48 on our roster and we have 102 available under our cap.

I have these key rookies coming up next year and what it would cost to extend them.


RB Lemoine – 42 mill, 3 years
OG Peterman – 51 mill, 4 years
OT Hymes – 34 mill, 3 years
DE Pinkney – 72 mill, 4 years

I also have these key players in their final year

WR Brandenfeis, 28 mill, 3 years
TE Schultz, 16 mill, 3 years
WR Woodard, 26 mill, 4 years
CB Bobo – 26 mill, 3 years
CB Gelenaw – 16 mill, 4 years



Others of note?

NT Alexis Drew, 11 mill, 3 years.


I extend my LS and P


I won’t resign Woodard as he’s dropped to 44/44. Ditto Bobo who has dropped to 50/50.


I am going to wait until after the draft for Hymes and Lemoine and Peterman and Schultz as it’s always possible I might draft a better option. I will hold onto post-camp for Brandenfeis as he may drop in cost after he drops in ability.

I do extend Pinkney – he’s my first draftee or UFA with a real deal! He has 99 pass rush tech, and 68 strength. He is all about those sacks!

Any players I wanna chase?

TE Carter Flynn was cut by the Panthers!

RB Marty Anderson is free as well, and Anderson is 68/68 and better than Lemoine…

WR Wilcox was cut

MLB Rick Butler was cut

If I were to sign all four I could make Butler my WILB, I could start Anderson, I could add Wilcox to my crew and start Flynn.

What do they want?

TE Flynn – 85 mill, 5 years – 5th year vet
MLB Butler – 19 mill, 4 years – 6th year vet
WR Wilcox – 25 mill, 2 years, 11th year vet
RB Anderson – 80 mil, 4 years, 7th year vet

I want Flynn first but he’s too pricey. I could bring him in now when I have cap space to spare and then cut him later in year 4 or 5.

MLB Butler is the worst position at WILB but he’s a 69/69 guy and bringing him in that cheaply? It would immediately give me four strong LBs. He’s cheap so I make him an offer of 20 mil to entice him to sign with me. He is the 4th best FA in the pool!

Wilcox is only 58/58 but that’s good enough to be 2nd on my team and this draft pool looks weak and I have the cash so I make him an offer. I add some cash to his offer as well.

TE Flynn ditto

Now Anderson?

He’s too expensive, he likely will drop in value soon, and I won’t chase him.

But I won’t extend Lemoine for now.

Week 2 – We sign Butler.

Week 3 – Wilcox signs

Week 4 – Anderson signs with Miami. From one dynasty to another!

Week 7 – Flynn signs with us

Week 8 – Mota signs with the Colts

Week 9 – Van Pelt signs with the Titans

I’ll see you at the draft!

The 2048 NFL Amateur Draft

Picking at the 1.1 spot are the Raiders.

1.1 – OT Jeffrey Haynes – I was hoping he was falling to us as he is a underrated stud that could have been my Tatum.
1.2 – DT Dashawn Kremers, Chargers
1.3 – OLB Derek Schultz, DC
1.4 – QB Trevor Brackens, Steelers

I’m surprised that just one stud QB went off the board.

Here is who is left

CB Zach Foreman, Hard to Read, 7.1 rating, top player on the board, amazing bars. Hard to Read is a gamble. I was taking Haynes over him if he was here, but now I have to figure out Foreman. Who else is here…

CB Edward Woods - Great Bars, Hard to Read, 2nd best DB and 3rd best player on the board.
RB Braxton Brennan, Overrated – top RB on the board
RB Joe Valentine, Underrated, bad bars, 2nd RB on the board

I take Foreman. Here he is! With those bars? He’s worth it!

2nd Round is here! How about SS Drew Kempthorne? DT Norman Cassidy? SS is more of a need. He looks like a grower.
3rd round - FB Silas Bensen? I go FB I like him. He hasn’t gone yet. He looks like a grower.

4th round – RB Paxton Patterson?
5th Round – OT Landon Horner looks to have fallen
6th Round- I do like WR Ricardo Compton.

7th pick? How about CB Jerry Gionfriddo? He also looks like a grower. Is this my CB Bryan Hutcheson seven round wonder? I hope so!

Rookie Lookie #1
1.5 – CB Zach Forman, Colombia, 50/85
2.4 – SS Drew Kempthorne, Georgia, 37/45
3.3 – FB Silas Bensen, West Virginia, 36/59
4.2 – RB Paxton Patterson, Virginia, 41/43
5.1 - OT Landon Horner, East Carolina, 29/45
6.5 – WR Ricardo Compton, Texas, 28/47
7.4 – CB Jerry Gionfriddo, Central Michigan, 21/44

There you are!

[Abe Sargent]

The NFL 2048 FA Period #2 –

I extend Drew, Hymes, and Peterman

I cut WR Bryson Woodard so he can resign in this period should he be able to do so.

I make offers to

QB Kurt Buckner
MLB Leo Adams
DE Leslie Schneider
Rb Eli Wodarz
WILB Dan Sakry
OG Axel Palmer


Week 1 – 1 signs

Week 2 – Another joins us

Week 3 – The rest sign


Ufas


QB Kurt Buckner, 16/45
MLB Leo Adams, 24/69
DE Leslie Schneider, 33/59
Rb Eli Wodarz, 34/57
WILB Dan Sakry, 30/55
OG Axel Palmer, 14/49

If he holds Adams could be a UFA steal, he reminds me of SLB Stone another great boom at UFA

I feel like going camping!

[Abe Sargent]

Much better here save for Buckner and Sakry

I look at QBs that boomed in camp and haven’t been drafted by others. I sign QB Harry Terrell, 17/37

I have 64 on my roster and I cut

RB Donald Musgrove
TE Jeffrey Wheat
MLB Jon Jenkins

CB Tito Bobo – I free up some cap and let him sign elsewhere. Hopefully we will stand strong!
