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

[Abe Sargent]

Hello All! I hope you are doing well and keeping yourself safe in our modern COVID-19 world! Today I was inspired to begin a new dynasty in FOF8, my 3rd for y’all!

Here are my first two:

The Otto Graham Challenge – Can I take an undrafted Qb and turn him into a Hall of Fame player who set passing records that still stand like Otto Graham? I begin with Otto’s team the Browns. The Otto Graham Challenge (FOF8) Now With the Chargers - Front Office Football Central (https://forums.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=91853)

Find out!

Restore the Roar – Can I get the Lions back to relevance and make them a Super Bowl winner? FOF8 Dynasty - Restore the Roar! Lions Empty Cupboard and Draftees Only - Front Office Football Central (https://forums.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=95655) Here is that dynasty.

Find Out!


I have take many teams that were not good during my FOF career. The Jags many times. They are my favorite team in real life. The Browns. The Lions a few times. The Cardinals. The Bengals. Other teams that have done poorly recently or historically. But wanna know a team I’ve never done? The Jets!

That changes today.

[Abe Sargent]

Ready to begin my latest FOF8 dynasty? Sure thing, let’s do it to it.

Now here are my rules for the dynasty to limit myself.

1. I am not a coach, I am a GM. I will auto all game plan decisions save for depth chart.
2. I will not call plays.
3. I will not set up training camp.
4. I will fast sim year 1 for the Jets, Rex everything, and take their results and natural draft position not to favor myself.
5. During the offseason I will release every Jet. I will not trade any.
6. During the first offseason period I will not sign any players, see below for the only exception.
7. I will never trade players nor picks, see below for the only exception. I can resign my players during this window. Or FA window #2.
8. I will draft the players in the draft with our natural picks.
9. I will sign players during the 2nd FA period that are undrafted rookies only.

Abe’s Boys - Any player that is drafted or a Undrafted FA rookie is given the tag, Abe’s Boy. Any player, once given that tag, is eligible for anything. I can sign one of Abe’s Boys in free agency. I can target them in trade.

Exception – I will sign a player in FA to replace injuries. So, as an example, suppose I drafted an OT Player X in the 4th round in Year 2. Player X starts three years. Then in year 5 I drafted a better one, Player X+1 in the 2nd round. When the first player’s deal comes up I let Player X go into FA and he signs with another team. If Player X+1 goes down in the first week of the season and is out for the year, I can trade for Player X as he is one of Abe’s Boys.

10. I cannot keep an injury FA signing longer than the end of the year. I cannot trade for injury replacement save for Abe’s Boys.
11. I am fireable.
12. Real player file and coaches, with 2019 squad and no X Factor.
13. I will treat my coaches fairly. If they are winning, I won’t replace them even if better are available.
14. Injury Setting 120

2019 begins.

We finish the preseason 1-3. Sam Darnold is bad. Really bad. I don’t have high hopes for the roster.

We finish the regular season with a record of 6-10. Not as bad as I’d like. But it’ll be a challenge not to be really bad with the better draft picks.


New Orleans defeats Pittsburgh 37-27 to win the Super Bowl!

We win no awards.

CJ Mosley was 4th most in tackles and Jamal Adams 6th most.

Jamal Adams with 9th most in pasdef.

Our 3rd overall pick DE Williams is the top rated rookie in the league and the top player on The Green Page.

We had a strong year defensively. Not offensively. LeVeon Bell just had 651 rushing yards and 226 yards receiving.

I end the season

[Abe Sargent]

I earn a 68 score

Staff Draft

In my Lions dynasty where I had similar rules my first head coach I grabbed, Ken Norton, Jr stayed with us the entire dynasty and won a Super Bowl. So this is important, and after a double digit loss season, clearing coaching house makes sense.

We pick 10th

Who am I going with?

Our head coach is Adam Gase. He’s…not even a little good. I like Steve Spagnolo, the DC of KC, but he’s in his 60s. Ken Norton Jr is the second best coach prospect and is just one worse that Steve, but I hired him in Detroit. Another great option is Dennis Allen of the Saints, but let’s go with quality and take Steve.


Time for our OC. Our OC is Dowell Loggains and he’s better than Gase. I look for a replacement…

The best guy available? Andy Reid. He was just let go from KC. But having him work for the DC who just was hired feels odd. I want realistic hires. I go with Drew Walston. He’s 54, loves spread offenses and enjoys the RB spot. He went to Duke in the 80s and has spent time in the college and NFL ranks as an assistant.

Our DC is Greg Williams who is our best coach. But there is a stud available and I grab him – Joe Judge. And he’s young, he’s just 39 years old. He’s better than everyone. He was the A.C. for the Pats, and he loves a true 3-4 so I’ll commit to running that defense. He’s my best pickup thus far.

Our Assit. Coach is Shawn Jefferson who’s not bad at all. I hire 40 year old Lamont Allen. Our Strength Coordinator pick arrives. We have Justus Galac. I really like 49 year old Sebastian Bradley.


I like our new staff, especially Joe Judge. I see him as a good head coach someday soon.

[Abe Sargent]

I only have 26 players under contract and I release them all. I have no major injures.

Ready to head to FA and check out the draft that will change us?

2020 FA Period #1

We select 1.8, 2.7, 3.10, 4.9 and such. Not too bad but not great for a naked team.

I look at the rookies and set up some interviews.

I interview the top four QBs, a stud RB, a stud WR, 2 stud DEs, then LBs for the rest as I need a solid group.

I call it.

I make no moves in FA.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2020 Amateur Draft

At the 1.1 spot heads out…

Seattle, RB, Cole Gomes

1.2 S
1.3 OLB
1.4 DE
1.5 QB
1.6 QB
1.7 QB

That sucks. We aren’t getting our signal caller here. If we were higher then we could have grabbed it before the run.

What about the last guy?

QB Riddick Ford, very overrated

Do I go for the 5th QB and hope he doesn’t suck? He’s a drop off. We have a lot of talented players still here. I grab the stud LB Jeremy Burkley who is a stud and the best player on the board by ability and a 3-4 SLB. We’ll build around my defense. The top WR is great but has a red flag so I skip over that.

Round 2. I grab QB Walt Berryman. Or OG Efrain Banks? I do Banks.

Round 3 – I could take DE Marty Gaudi. Or how about WR Kris Howe? I do Gaudi.

Round 4 - I grab SS Jordan Nichols or OT Derek Armstrong. I do Armstrong.

Round 5 – I snatch OG Wayne Guyman. How about QB Stanley Benton? I take the QB.

Round 6 – How about ILB Percy Hitt?

Round 7 – And in this corner CB Richard Cunningham,

Rookie Lookie Take 1

1.8 SLB Jeremy Burkley, Rutgers, 55/83
2.9 OG Efrain Banks, Alabama, 32/60
3.10 DE Marty Gaudi, Stanford, 34/58
4.7 OT Derek Armstrong, Georgia, 24/54
5.8 QB Stanley Benton, Pitt, 6/50
6.9 ILB Percy Hitt, Kansas, 20/51
7.10 CB Richard Cunningham, Baylor, 27/55

DE Gaudi and OLB Burkley are on the Green Page of the best rookies. Burkley looks like a stud. I hope he plays like one!

2020 UFA Round Two

I make offers to a ton of UFA rookies. I’ll let you know who makes my roster later

I sign 27 in week 1.

In week 2 I sign 20 more

In week 3 the rest sign.

Training Camp

Rookie Lookie Take 2

1.8 SLB Jeremy Burkley, Rutgers, 55/83; 62/81
2.9 OG Efrain Banks, Alabama, 32/60; 36/59
3.10 DE Marty Gaudi, Stanford, 34/58; 39/58
4.7 OT Derek Armstrong, Georgia, 24/54; 29/54
5.8 QB Stanley Benton, Pitt, 6/50; 12/54
6.9 ILB Percy Hitt, Kansas, 20/51; 26/51
7.10 CB Richard Cunningham, Baylor, 27/55; 33/54

And that’s not bad! Benton is going in the right direction.

My top five UFA Rookies

P Roosevelt Petherick, 67/73
DE Henry Sawyer, 30/58
SS Alvin Thomason, 32/58
NT Allen Heinlein, 26/54
C Karl Fox, 30/52

I have 33 players inactive for the preseason.

[Abe Sargent]

Preseason 2020 –

Week 2 – I trim down to 60. We lose 27-16 to the Saints
Week 3 – We lose 13-7 to Dallas
Week 4 – We tie 13-13 to the Giants
Week 5 – We lose 12-33 to the Panthers

We finish the preaseason 0-3-1


Rookie Lookie Take 3

1.8 SLB Jeremy Burkley, Rutgers, 55/83; 62/81; 67/81
2.9 OG Efrain Banks, Alabama, 32/60; 36/59; 37/60
3.10 DE Marty Gaudi, Stanford, 34/58; 39/58; 37/53
4.7 OT Derek Armstrong, Georgia, 24/54; 29/54; 30/53
5.8 QB Stanley Benton, Pitt, 6/50; 12/54; 12/51
6.9 ILB Percy Hitt, Kansas, 20/51; 26/51; 26/48
7.10 CB Richard Cunningham, Baylor, 27/55; 33/54; 30/48

Uh oh. DE Gaudi is going in the wrong direction, and both Hitt and Benton look worse in potential as does Cunningham. That’s not good.

My top five UFA Rookiess

P Roosevelt Petherick, 67/73; 71/82
DE Henry Sawyer, 30/58; 32/59
SS Alvin Thomason, 32/58; 36/58
NT Allen Heinlein, 26/54; 28/53
C Karl Fox, 30/52; 31/53

On the other hand, my P boomed and my UFA DE Sawyer didn’t drop like Gaudi did. I was hoping to start both across from each other. My P is the 3rd best in the league. Nice!

[Abe Sargent]

https://i.ibb.co/0Fzbwh2/Jets-1.png

Here’s Burkley, the Tony Boselli of my franchise. The first pick in our new era. Check him out! He’s very well developed and I like him a lot. He’s the best LB in the draft. He’s still on the green page. I have made 3-4 SLBs this good into Hall of Fame players but my roster may be too weak to take advantage of it for a while. We’ll see.

[Abe Sargent]

The 1.7 3rd overall QB has wound up as the best one. Ah well…we came close! The 1st one off busted, as did several behind us and we wound up with the third best potential QB. Assuming he doesn’t continue to drop off. Our UFA Tyrus Silverman is the 6th best potential. I’m glad I didn’t reach for QB at 1.8. On the other hand the stud WR I would have taken save for the red card? 52/72 after camp. Our FA TEs are 3rd and 5th in potential in the class. OG Banks is 2nd best in the class. It was a weak CB draft ad Cunningham, despite his bust, is 6th best potential. SS Thomason was 4th best in potential. Sawyer is the 5th best DE.

So we didn’t do too badly.


I trim my players. Ready?

These are Abe’s Guys! Note that DE Sawyer is starting in every formation save for one but that is not showing up here. I love the potential power of SS Thomason. Note that my starter at RB Neil Walton who is worse, technically, than RB Aaron Williams, but Williams is power RB specialist whereas Walker is well rounded. Williams has a 0 breakaway speed and 97 power inside.

This year I’ll be quickly simming the season. Normally I spend a paragraph summary for each game. In this case we’ll be spending one line on each week and that’s it.

Awards

Defensive Rookie of the Year – SLB Burkley!

1st Team All Pro –

P Petherick

2nd Team All Pro –

SLB Burkley

Nice! Burkley looks like he was worth the pick. Dude looks sexy. Like I said, I think the SLB position is the most important position in a 3-4 defense and I've had great success with it before so I am happy to see Burkley work well within that defense.

[Abe Sargent]

Stats, Offense

QB Benton – 304 of 532, 2674 yards, 5 TD and 14 picks.

That was a horrible season by Benton. We need a better answer. But I can get the best QB in the draft this year.

RB Williams 171 for 428, 2 scores

Again, not great

WR Sorrels, 72 grabs for 831 yards, 1 score – Not bad
TE Fyie, 37 for 221 yards
WR Ethan Ellis, 36 for 319 yards
WR Richardson, 26 for 285, 3 scores

Wow

K Eddie Chandler, 25 FGs of 30, long of 55; 10 of 11 PAT

Not bad

P Petherick, 122 punts, 48.8 avg, 43 inside the 20

Weapon.

OT Armstrong – 22 KRB of 74 KRO, 9 sacks allowed
C Fox – 15 KRB of 73, 7 sacks allowed
OG Nagurski – 15 KRB of 47 KRO, 8 sacks
OG Banks – 7 KRB of 49, 6 sacks
OT Cottrell – 15 KRB of 47 KRO, 11 sacks

Armstrong was my best and Banks disappointed a lot.

[Abe Sargent]

Stats, Defensive


https://i.ibb.co/Zx0WkRX/Jets-2.png

As you can see, Thomason led in tackles and Burkley was right behind. Each of my starting DEs had 5 sacks. LB Adam was solid with 5 more sacks, and DT Cole was solid when subbing in for pressure.

Want to check out pass coverage? Sure thing!

https://i.ibb.co/fk6hL9g/Jets-3.png

FS Flannery led the team with 3 picks, and Burkley had 2 picks and 11 pass def all of which was solid. Thomason wasn’t rocking picks but he led my team in pasdef with 17. He was tied for 5th most in the league.

Good job defense. You were fine most of the time. We have tons of picks. Next year I’d like to work on the offensive side of the ball at WR and QB and a better O Line.

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Offensive MVP – WR Liam Sorrels – He had a solid year with good yardage and was the best receiver on my team. Good job!


Defensive MVP – LB Burkley – Duh. Dude gets All Pro and Def. Rook of the Year, dude wins MVP.


Special Teams MVP – P Petherick. Duh. Once again, dude gets All Pro, dude wins MVP.


Rookie of the Year – Since all of my players qualify, I am skipping this for my first year.


Heart Award – DT Cole – Featured as a rotational DT and got me a safety, notched sacks, and had great QB pressure. Good job backup!

2021 Offseason

Staff Draft

Given my 2-14 record, all positions are vulnerable.

We pick 6th. I keep Steve Spagnulo as my head coach. I keep my OC. And DC Judge as well, and then AC and SC.



The 2021 FA Period #1.

I resign every RFA I have.

I interview the top three QBs and the top one and #3 come back underrated and I’ll target one as my 1.1 pick. I need receivers and I interview the top 6. Most come back overrated.

I skip the rest of the period.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2021 NFL Amateur Draft

At the 1.1 spot I grab Tony Rhem, the best QB in the draft

At the 2.1 spot the best WR is also a red flag who is hard to read… This is a weak WR Draft so I need to invent a spot now. I take Jonah Zercie. He’s also the most developed WR in the draft.


At the 3.1 spot I like WR Theodore Zuzzin, a very underrated WR with good stats who will hopefully be a grower. He’s a hope. But he’s too much of a prayer. There is a very good C on the board, Buddy Kaplan. Typically I get good Centers later as they tend to fall, but he seems really. Is it worth a slot? Actually nevermind. I like OG Terry Freitas. I’ll grab Terry. He's probably the BAP.

4.1 I might take OT Griffin Walters. I also like WR Devin Burhart. Or maybe OT Ezekiel Vaughn? I do Vaughn.

At 5.1 I could snag DE Frederick Zellars or DE Norm Stevenson? Both are 4-3 DEs. I do Stevenson. Both of these appear to have fallen and this is a BAP pick.

At 6.1….hmmm…how about…. I really like QB Alfredo Farmer who seems to have fallen, but I don’t need a 4th QB. I could do LB Cameron Cassidy the top LB on the board. How about FS Darren Newton? Nope. I grab depth at CB – Sam Farr, the best one on the board.

At 7.1? CB Daryl Reeves is the best CB available. K Randall Rabbitt appears to be a stud and no Ks have gone yet. I do Rabbitt.

Rookie Lookie #1

1.1, QB Tony Rhem, Georgia, 36/82
2.1, WR Jonah Zercie, San Diego, 40/62
3.1, OG Terry Freitas, Florida State, 42/78
4.1, OT Ezekiel Vaughn, Missouri, 12/61
5.1, DE Norm Stevenson, Miss. Valley State, 40/67
6.1, CB Sam Farr, Minnesota, 19/39
7.1, K Randall Rabbitt, Texas Tech, 48/73

That looks good, but some of these are showers, not growers, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some ebb back.

[Abe Sargent]

2021 FA Period #2

I chase some UFA rookies….

UFA QB Corbin Weiss
UFA DE Dexter Foley
UFA RB Tevin Gaylord
UFA LB Phil Sutton

UFA K Stephen Browning in case of a bust for Rabbitt


Tony Rhem is the top player on the Green Page. Maybe we done well? Freitas is also on it as well.

Week 1 – I sign 3.

Week 2 – I sign 2 more

Week 3 – The rest sign

Training Camp, 2021

I have 68 under contract.

Rookie Lookie #2

1.1, QB Tony Rhem, Georgia, 36/82; 44/79
2.1, WR Jonah Zercie, San Diego, 40/62; 43/60
3.1, OG Terry Freitas, Florida State, 42/78; 48/79
4.1, OT Ezekiel Vaughn, Missouri, 12/61; 18/60
5.1, DE Norm Stevenson, Miss. Valley State, 40/67; 45/65
6.1, CB Sam Farr, Minnesota, 19/39; 23/40
7.1, K Randall Rabbitt, Texas Tech, 48/73; 56/78


Nice! Rhem’s pot dropped off a bit, as did Zercie’s, but the rest are fine.

Here are my best UFAs

ILB Phil Sutton – 36/62 – He boomed in camp
DE Dexter Foley – 35/58 – He looks noice

These are the ones with a potential more than 50

I cut K Browning, and I bench Chandler for preseason to see in Rabbittt finishes well.

I cut these players to drop to 60

RB Ricky Whitehurst
QB Tyrus Silverman
CB Leslie Apolionio
ILB Nate Marzulf
ILB Byron Zellwinger
OT Aiden Newhart
OG Darren Watson
DE Avery Carlisle

2021 Preseason

Week 2 – We lose 6-22 to Detroit

Week 3 – We lose 12-6 to Seattle

Week 4 – We tie 17-17 against the Vikings

Week 5 – We beat the 49ers 29-24

We finish the preseason 1-2-1

Rookie Lookie #3

1.1, QB Tony Rhem, Georgia, 36/82; 44/79; 43/83
2.1, WR Jonah Zercie, San Diego, 40/62; 43/60; 45/63
3.1, OG Terry Freitas, Florida State, 42/78; 48/79; 49/79
4.1, OT Ezekiel Vaughn, Missouri, 12/61; 18/60; 18/58
5.1, DE Norm Stevenson, Miss. Valley State, 40/67; 45/65; 46/66
6.1, CB Sam Farr, Minnesota, 19/39; 23/40; 23/30
7.1, K Randall Rabbitt, Texas Tech, 48/73; 56/78; 56/80

Looks like good news for Rhem and Zercie’s potentials.

Here are my best UFAs

ILB Phil Sutton – 36/62 ; 38/60
DE Dexter Foley – 35/58 ; 36/61

I cut these players

K Eddie Chandler
CB Dylan Mohser
OT Marco Dritlein
CB Sam Farr
WR Caden Kearns
DE Nicholas Pasich

That brings me to 53

[Abe Sargent]

Here is the hope of the Jets

https://i.ibb.co/6yxRv7T/Jets-4.png


He’s the best QB in the draft going in and coming out. Tony Rhem is very strong. This dynasty will go as far as Rhem goes. He’s a solid body and I likes him.

I have four quality DEs now which I like. We are going with Stevenson and Sawyer in most of my packages although Gaudi is better against the run. We have a better defense to go with my stud at SLB Burkley. Although he has dropped off to 63/63 which sucks. Can’t do anything about it. Hopefully he’ll play better this year.

Rhem is still the top player on the Green Page. Stevenson, Freitas, and Foley are on the list as well

Zercie is the best WR from the draft but the 7th taken, probably because of the Red Card.

Freitas wound up the best OG. Those above him busted.

Vaughn is the 7th best OT

Rabbitt the best K obviously

Stevenson grew into the 3rd best DE and our other choice is 4th.

Foley is 6th

Sutton is the 5th best iLB

My prediction this year is 5-11, an improvement of 3 games. My players are better developed and we have this guy called Rhem.

This year expect me to give you a more detailed game overview.

[Abe Sargent]

Week 1 – New England – We win 24-10. The Rhem Era of the Jets has begun! MVP is Rhem with 19 of 28, 232 yards and 1 score, no picks. WR Sorrells was 7 for 111 yards and a score. CB Stone with a pick. RB Neil Walton with a rushing score as well as Rhem proper. We win!

An auspicious way to begin the dude’s career!

We have some minor injuries but I’ll skip anything but out for a starter or questionable or worse for my QB

Week 2 – Atlanta – We lose 37-34 in OT. Close! Rhem was 31 of 46, 348 yards, 3:1 ratio hitting TE Frie twice for scores and fellow rookie Zercie for one score. FF by SS Thomason and recovered by CB Stone. OG Banks is out for a week or two, Nagurski will start for him

Rushing

RB Williams, 181 for 689 yards, 2 scores
QB Rhem, 95 for 371, 4 scores


We need a better option at RB. Williams is averaging 3.70 yards per carry.

TE Fyie – 63 for 626. And 3 scores
WR Richardson – 50 for 592 and 1 score

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.ibb.co/N277FsV/Jets-5.png

Here are our defensive stats. Thomason led with a ton of tackles, and Burkley was 2nd as expected. Thomason led the league with that number! DE Sawyer’s 9 sacks led with the team with 7 by Gaudi and 4.5 by LB Adam and 4 by NT Heinlein. Our sacks are up this year.

Burkley led our team with 6 FF and that was the most in the league. No one else had more than 2.

Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/G7XH49v/Jets-6.png


Alonzo Stone notched a nasty 7 picks. That tied for 2nd most in the league. Thomason swapped more pasdef for 4 picks and a INT RET TD. Stone also led our team in pasdef along with Thomason. Our picks were up as well.

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Offensive MVP – Tony Rhem – This guy won Off. Rookie of the Year. He has to win this too, right? Right!

Defensive MVP – SS Alvin Thomason – In addition to his All Pro he led the league in tackles, was 2nd on our team in picks, top in pasdef, and was great. He was our best defensive player!

Special Teams MVP – P Petherick – Duh. Again. Dude wins All Pro, dude wins my team award.

Rookie of the Year Award – OG Terry Freitas – This guy was 2nd on my team in KRB, only allowed 5 sacks to a rookie QB, and was a great addition to my team. He was my best playing rookie.

Heart Award – DE Gaudi – Demoted to my backup DE and notched 7 sacks and 18 hurries and a fumrec on a strip sack. He was a strong powerhouse for me coming off my bench and I love my DLine at the DE spot I just need a better NT to unlock them and really turn them loose.

I end the season

I score a 59

[Abe Sargent]

2022 Offseason

The Staff Draft –

I have the 6th spot. Again, a 5 win season allows me to move staff as needed

I keep my HC Steve Spags.

Josh McDaniels has come available at the OC and he’s a bit better than my guy. Do I wanna swap over? He uses Erhardt=Erkins style of play. He loves QBs and might be better than Drew Walston. But I’ve been building an offense for Drew so I stay.

I make no changes at DC. Or AC. Or Sc.

I massage my ticket prices up a little bit and then move to FA

2022 FA Period #1

We pick 1.4. I need a playmaker like a stud WR, and there are two and interview both and they are underrated. I interview some more WRs and some RBs. I also interview other 1.4 ranked candidates and a stud Fb I could take later and convert to TE. If I could come away from this draft with the best WR and a studly TE I’d be happy. This is WR heavy.


I have 44 players under contract and I sign all of my RFAs

I skip the rest of the FA.

[Abe Sargent]

2022 NFL Amateur Draft

At 1.1 Arizona takes QB Ray Wilkins

1.2 – RB
1.3 – DT

That leaves me free to take the top WR. I grab Kirk Barber.

2nd round I grab DT Kyle Fontaine that I’ll move to NT.

3rd round is the FB still there? Nope. I grab BAP WILB Edward Raynor. C Seth Lindsay is solid too. As is FS Phillip Dawson although I like Lindsay more.

4th round. RB Francisco Mansell? He’s the best RB left. WR Richard Hall? I take Hall.

5th? I take Mansell who is still on the board over my over choice Grayson Willis.

6th Round is here and I take CB Grayson Willis as he’s still on the board.

7th round and I grab TE Alfredo Hoffman.


Rookie Lookie #1

1st Round - WR Kirk Barber, Illinois, 50/81
2nd Round, DT Kyle Fontaine, Clemson, 51/74
3rd Round – WILB Edward Raynor, Stanford, 20/70

5th Round – RB Francisco Mansell, South Carolina, 44/52

I have three top talents and then decent depth.

Raynor may be fading which is sad, but the rest are holding hopefully.

C Bryce Jackson, 36/68; 41/72
SE Fred Shumway, 20/51; 23/49
OT Julian Isaacs, 16/52; 18/52

Jackson is looking like a great pickup and we’ll start him in the preseason. I am also starting my three top picks that all look solid.

On The Green Page we have Rhem, Barber, and Fontaine.

In order to get to 60 I cut

OC Brant Falls
WR Roman Griffith
NT Lewis Dagan

[QuikSand]

9. I will sign players during the 2nd FA period that are undrafted rookies only.

Abe’s Boys - Any player that is drafted or a Undrafted FA rookie is given the tag, Abe’s Boy. Any player, once given that tag, is eligible for anything. I can sign one of Abe’s Boys in free agency. I can target them in trade.

I think this is a clever wrinkle to the time-honored "empty cupboard" concept. I like it.

https://i.ibb.co/M7QSM7S/Jets-7.png

Here’s my top pick! Hello Kirk Barber! I hope you do some sexy things for me! He’ll hopefully be the sort of playmaker we need to unlock our QBs next level. He’s studly.

On the Green Page are Barber, Rhem, and NT Fontaine. Wanna see Fontaine as well? Okay!

https://i.ibb.co/FmYVDwd/Jets-8.png

We grabbed him with the 2.3 spot and he was the 35th chosen player. Much like Kirk Barber will hopefully unlock my offense, this guy will hopefully do the same for my front seven. He is the best player on my D Line. 3-4s need a great NT to really make them sign and my hope is that Fontaine will perform that role for me and be a consistent pressure maker and run stopper thus freeing up my LB Corp to wreak havoc.

[Abe Sargent]

Here are some notes on the rookies:

At WR, Barber is the top best WR, as the #2 guy who we also liked held steady at 79 in camp and is sitting strongly. We would have been happy had a guy in front of us taken a stud WR with the #2 guy. Richard Hall is the 6th best by potential.

At RB, our guy Mansell is the 5th best by potential. That’s good for a mid-round back.

At OC our rookie is the 2nd best by potential.

For DTs, Fontaine is 3rd best by potential as this was a deep draft for them, probably why he wound up still on the board at the 2.3 spot.

Raynor at ILB is the 3rd best by potential despite his fall.

At CB Grayson Willis is 2nd best, as many above him busted and this was a weak class for them. The best? 61 potential.

My starting rookies are

CB Willis
RB Mansell
OC Jackson
WILB Raynor
WR Barber
NT Fontaine

This is still early enough in our dynasty that 6 rookies will start but I doubt that will happen moving forward.

I think we’ll finish 7-9. Maybe 8-8, maybe 6-10. A lot of talent developed last year and we have talent on both sides of the ball to push us.

I think next year is when we’ll see things clicking.

And there we are! Good news, unlike Burkley who busted from year one to two, Tony Rhem is still rocking at 61/83. Zercie and Barber should hopefully be a solid enough tag team to partner with.

[Abe Sargent]

Wanna see something cool?

https://i.ibb.co/Rj3Kj7x/Jets-9.png

Here are all QBs in the league sorted by potential, including this year’s solid rookie class. See how Rhem is the only one in the 80s? And is 5 better than Mahomes? That’s nice.

Here’s another

https://i.ibb.co/WDrnfPP/Jets-10.png

As you can see, Kirk Barber is the best potential in the league right now. Noel who we would had taken had Barber been grabbed is 3rd overall. You can also see Zercie is on the page as well, which is solid. The Bills have two of the top ten with a nasty tandem. If they develop, what sort of damage can Rhem and Barber do?

I fear for defenses in the AFC East!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2022 Regular Season

Let’s get this thing started!

Week 1 – Buffalo – We win 17-16. Another winning opener! MVP was Rhem with 27 of 39 for 299 and 2:0. He hit Barber 7 times for 87 yards and a score in his debut game! Another TD Pass to RB Mansell is his first NFL game as well! 2 sacks by DE Sawyer
A great debut win for us!

Week 2 -At Minnesota – We win 28-20! MVP is RB Mansell who was 18 carries for 147 yard and a score. Nasty! Rhem was 23 of 41 for 232 and 2:1. He hit WR Zercie 8 times for 124 yards and a score, and Barber the other score. We had four FFs on the day by LB Fredrickson, DE Gaudi, NT Fontaine, and ILB Raynor, two FFs for starting rookies, nice. SS Thomason recovered one for a TD. Nice!

C Jackson is out and Fox will start

Week 3 – Denver – We win 23-22. MVP is Rhem with 27 of 39, 311 yards, and 2:0 score. Barber caught 7 for 103 and 1 score, his first 100 yard game of his career. WR Richardson the other score. CB Stone with a pick. FF and recovery by ILB Sutton. Mansell was 22 for 96 yards.

We have won three in a row baby!

Can we make it it four?

Week 4 – Baltimore – We lose 10-19. Not bad for the first quarter of the WR Barber Era. Rhem was 23 of 40 for 246 and…1:4. Yuck. Baltimore is still Baltimore. TE Cook our lone TD. FF by DE Stevenson, recovered by LB Burkley.

C Jackson is back from injury

[Abe Sargent]

Week 5 – At Cincinnati – We win 27-14. Rhem is MVP with 17 of 31 for 205 and 2:0. He also rushed for a score. He hit RB Walton and TE Frie for TDs. Picks by Thomason and ILB Sutton. We came back to our surprisingly winning ways.

Week 6 – New England – We win 36-16. That is a statement win, our first. Game MVP is Rhem with 20 of 27, 4:0. He hit for scores these players – TE Cook, TE Cook, TE Cook, and TE Frie. Huh. RB Mansell was 22 for 126 and that’s his 2nd 100 game of the season. ILB Hitt with a pick. Burkley with 2 FF,one recovered by Thomason. 6 KRB by OG Freigas and 4 by OT Vaughn.

We have an injury – CB Willis is out for a few weeks

We have two injuries from this game that were knocking someone out

ILB Phil Sutton, out for a week or two

And…

LB Hitt, who is out for the year

I place Hitt on IR and I sign…

Wilb Oren Banks

Week 8 – at Buffalo – We win 24-17. Rhem is MVP with 33 of 41, 303 yards and 3:0. Barber was 11 for 98 and 1 score. Scored for Zercie and Hall. Pick by CB Swift.


We are 6-2 at the half! And Sutton is back.

[Abe Sargent]

Week 9 – Pittsburgh – We win 21-7 against the then 1 loss Steelers. Rhem is MVP with 24 of 36 and 295 with 2:0. He hits Zercie 8 times for 163 yards and two scores. Mansell added a score on the ground. We had three picks by CB Stone, CB Stone and…CB Stone. That’s nasty. We had 3 FF by Burkley, Sutton and Gaudi, and they were recovered by Burkley.

Willis is back

Week 10 – BYE

Week 11 – Miami- We lose 9-25. Rhem was 25 of 40 for 287 and 0:1. CB Stone with another pick. Two sacks by LB Adams.

Week 12 – Chicago – We lose 20-13. Them was 28 of 42 for 25 and 1:1. He hit RB Mansell for the score. FF by Burkley and Stone. 2 sacks by Burkley.

We had 10 injuries from this game. All were questionable or probable

We are 8-4 at the three quarter mark! Will we finish in the playoffs? I hope so!

[Abe Sargent]

Week 14 -At Green Bay – We win 17-9 against a 9-3 team. Nice! Rhem was 26 of 34 for 246 and 1:0 and hit Zercie 10 times for 115 yards and 1 score. Pick by Sutton. Rushing score by Mansell. 2 sacks by Adam.

A strong road win!

C Brad Glenn grabbed a Rhem fumble and advanced it for a score. That was funny. FF by Stone and Frederickson, one recovery by CB Mongeon.

[Abe Sargent]

Stats

Offensive

Passing

Tony Rhem, 383 of 598, 4130 yards, 29:9, 94.1 rating, 27 sacks

Those numbers in context. Tony had the most yards, had the most TDs, has the second best QB Rating to Mahomes.

Rushing

RB Mansell, 276 for 1139, 4.13 ypc, 5 tds
QB Rhem, 92 for 362, 2 TDs


Mansell was 9th in the league in yards.

Receiving

WR Barber, 92 for 1022 yards, 7 scores
WR Zercie, 78 for 1055 yards, 8 scores
TE Fyie, 48 for 453, 2 scores
RB Mansell, 45 for 332, 4 scores

We have two 1000 receivers and my tandem has arrived.

Blocking

OG Freitas, 33 KRB out of 78 KRO, 2 sacks allowed
OT Vaughn, 21 of 59, 9 sacks allowed
OG Banks, 19 KRB of 89, 8 sacks
OC Jackson, 17 of 57, 2 sacks allowed
OT Armstrong, 15 of 54, 1 sack allowed

Great year for Freitas! That guy has played well in his first two years and is my best okaying O Line.

Special Teams –

K Rabbitt – 24 FG of 30, Long of 52, 36 of 37 PAT

Dude has been great with PATs these two years.

P Petherick – 104 punts, 45.9 avg, 43 in 20

Great year again for the weapon

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.ibb.co/TbrHVC9/Jets-11.png

Here’s my defensive stats. Thomason again leading my tackles and Burkley has a lot more than last year. 118 is 7th most in the league. Burkley notched 6 sacks a solid number, and LB Adam led my team with 8.5. DE Sawyer’s 5.5 sacks, 2 blocks, 21 hurries and 6 QBKD were solid numbers. He was 9th in hurries in the league.

Burkley led our team with 5 FF, which also led the league again. Dude has a nose for the ball.

Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/bHQ2DCt/Jets-12.png

Stone only had 5 picks this year, but the dude is a 44/44 guy so that’s fine. He also led in pasdef. Our picks were down. Thomason only had 2 picks and 10 pasdef.

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Offensive Player of the Year – QB Tony Rhem – He led the league in many metrics, and won MVP. How could anyone else get this?

Defensive Player of the Year – LB Jeremy Burkley – He was 2nd with tackles, 2nd with sacks, 3rd in pasdef with 9, and had a solid year for us overall.

Special Teams of the Year – K Randall Rabbitt – He has the best PAT % in the league over the last two years, and has done a great job for us kicking that FG.


Rookie of the Year – WR Kirk Barber – He noticed 7 scores and 1000+ yards in his first season and helped to spark a nice offense. Now we’ll need him to help us more next year now that he’s fully developed. Hopefully he won’t fall.

Heart Award – CB Alonzo Stone – Stone, at 44/44, does not start for me but is my primary nickelback option. He has led my team in picks and pasdef this year from that role, and how could I give this to anyone else?


I end the season

I score an 82

[Abe Sargent]

The 2023 NFL Offseason

I move to retain my staff. I offer to keep all of my staff. I cannot let them go after that year.

We are drafting 2nd

I don’t change my head coach even though a better one is available

There are two better OCs. But nope

No DC has ever been better than Joe Judge and not this year either

I skip picking up an AC or SC

No one poached my staff

I head to FA

[Abe Sargent]

2023 FA Period #1

I have 42 players under contract.

I make offers to all of my RFAs.

Now I need upgrades at these spots:

FS
WLB
TE
OT
CB

And studs only –

RB
OG

These I need some serious talent. If I can upgrade them I’ll be happy.

So now I am looking for BAP. We pick back at 1.29 so we need to target falling talent which means we’ll be grabbing BAPs. Our best player will typically be one of three things

1. A heavy talent like NT Fontaine last year that fell when that position was deep
2. Someone in the 60s rather than the 80s.
3. A position that’s not pursued much, like C or FB

And that’s pretty much it. Now I am set with great guys in their 70s at OC and OG, and Vaughn is pretty solid with a 46/58 upper window, but we can go over my current OT and OG if they fall to us.

I interview the top five safeties on the board. I may have to make a reach, this is not that deep. I interview a few OGs, and four CBs

OC Fox is demanding a trade and won’t sign with us

I have a roster now of 52


I skip FA

[Abe Sargent]

The 2023 NFL Amateur Draft


Jacksonville gets lucky. There is a stud QB in the draft that looks better than Rhem and they grab him at the 1.1 spot. QB Arnold Cote.

I resume and our pick arrives. Who is left for us at 1.29?

ILB Junior Gilliam and I could move him to WLB. He is BAP.
OG Cory Kinzie- Very underrated
OG Gavin Curry, Underrated
TE Max Lempke
SS Lukas Ford, very overrated (no thanks)
FB Josiah Derr and move to TE
CB Josiah Sanders, overrated
FS Tony Tirman, hard ot read – best FS in the draft but weak bars
RB Turner Wallace – only one RB has gone off the board
OG Montgomery has better bars but no interview
CB Frisch, the best one on the board

So it looks like OG or S.

My current WLB is ADAM who’s 57/57 and not bad. Is Gilliam that much better? SILB Sutton is 61/61, WILB Raynor is 34/71, and SLB Burkley is 69/69. I don’t wanna invest a 1st rounder in a guy who might wind up as a backup.

I wanna do OG or ILB as those are my most open spot and FS Tirman is too much of a reach at this spot

Hmmm….

I grab Gilliam, I’ll move him to WLB. He’s the BAP.

2.29 is here

I take FB Derr. I also like SS Cunningham but I need a better TE.


3.29?

FS Shaun Casher the best on the board

4.29?

OT Jack Kurtz. He wasn’t invited to the combine and I like his bars.

5.29?

CB Pat Schwake. He’s also a non-invitee with solid bars

6.29?

RB Rodney King. Flyer, best RB on the board.

7.29

ILB Silas Whittington. BAP.

And maybe for Derr as well…



Here are my UFAs

UFA CB Jonah Ramirez; 20/51; 24/50
UFA DE Joel Svitak, 28/61; 31/59

All three of these dropped off on potentials, and that’s not good.

7th Round, ILB Silas Whittington, Boise State, 21/49; 26/49; 25/47

Gilliam didn’t keep dropping and Derr actually rose.

Casher fell a bit as did Kurtz. King, wow

Here are my UFAs

UFA OC Walter Kormelink, 20/54; 24/50; 23/52
UFA CB Jonah Ramirez; 20/51; 24/50; 23/45
UFA DE Joel Svitak, 28/61; 31/59; 31/59


I don’t think Ramirez is long for this team

My cuts to get to 53

RB Rodney King
TE Randall Bauer
RG Kurt Johnson
DE Marty Gaudi
CB Jonah Ramirez
WILB Justics mcGarity
MLB Howie Pelissar

I’m glad I am at a place where I can cut draftees in that year as they disappoint in cap and such. DE Marty Gaudi is my first big cut since I’ve been here. But’s he’s my 5th best DE and that cut makes sense, but if I need coverage later I might happily grab him.

[Abe Sargent]

Wanna see my 1.29 pick?

https://i.ibb.co/jhTqGb8/Jets-13.png

Here you go! This is Junior Gilliam who was the BAP at the 1.29 spot and is a solid entrant into my LB Corps. If he remains at 69 then he’d wind up better than Burkley in ability who is sitting at 64.

Wanna see my FB into a TE?

https://i.ibb.co/BfTJqF5/Jets-14.png

Here you go! As you can see he is a blocking force of will and not as good in the receiving game. I do need a good solid TE for a spread offense like we are running with my OC. So investing the 2.30 pick into such a good player was the right call to my mind, barring he actually develops to the level needed.

[Abe Sargent]

Here are all TEs in the league by potential. As you can see three rookies are in the 60s. Damian Lane was a late 1st taken before us and Jared Devine was an early 2nd and unable to be grabbed at the 2.30 spot. I’m happy with this result and, as you can see, Derr is tied for 4th best potential in the league.

[Abe Sargent]

DE Svitak in on the Green Page as a UFA rookie! He’s our only one on the page.

My predication this year is 12-4. We should have gotten better and we added another draft of talent. We finished the top seed in the AFC last year and I hope to do some damage this as well.

The first few years of a empty cupboard team you are in a luxury. What? You are stockpiling young talent, but you cannot keep all of the pieces. Starting next year my first draft rookie class will have their contracts up, and we can’t resign everybody. Just Rhem and Barber will be massive contracts on their own.

Football is not a game of sustaining, but one of replacement.

So this is the last year that I won’t lose players, other than Gaudi whom I cut as he was my 5th DE. I have built around my first rookie class. Now what?

I guess we’ll find out!

But I think a little bit better with more talent and experienced players. We made it to the AFC Championship last year. Can we make it to the Super Bowl this one? I hope things are lining up that way.

WLB Gilliam will start this year for me. Adam is 50/50 and he’s 45/69 so that’s the better play to my mind. TE Derr is also starting over Frie. Schwake is also being given some play time. Stone is my primary nickel back again with 14 picks in three years. That guy is nasty. I do maybe like OT Kurtz later but he needs serious dev time and won’t be starting for me.

Rookies?

Gilliam is the 3rd best LB by potential in the draft at any position. There is one at 79 and another at 70. The great 79 one was taken right before us at 1.28 by Seattle.

Kurtz is actually the best potential OT in the draft after some others fell but it was a weak OT draft.

Svitak is the 6th best DE in the rookie class by potential.

Casher however is really down the list. A lot. He’s the 11th best safety on the board. That wound up being not a great pick.

[Abe Sargent]

Season Awards

League MVP – Tony Rhem

Off. Player of the Year – Tony Rhem

All-Pro First Team-

QB Tony Rhem
K Randall Rabbitt


That’s Rabbitt’s first All Pro for me. Nice! He’s my best 7th round pick in this dynasty.

[Abe Sargent]

Stats

Offensive

Passing

Rhem, 348 of 531, 4003 yards, 28:7, 100.2 QB Rating, 24 sacks

That’s a pretty solid year. He was 6th in yards, 2nd in TDs, and top in rating.

Rushing

Mansell, 212, 830, 5 scores
Williams, 131, 553, 3 scores
Rhem, 62 of 325, 3 scores

Mansell had a down year, and Williams spelled him as well as the 3rd and 1 or 3rd and goal from the 2 style runner over Mansell.

Receiving

Barber, 76 for 1080, 8 scores
Richardson, 66 for 774, 7 scores
Zercie, 59 for 787, 5 scores
Mansell, 27 for 281, 4 TDs
Derr, 40 for 327, 2


As Richardson is my 3rd WR and most of my packages started 3 or more WRs, he had an up season although Zercie was down.

Blocking

OG Freitas, 34 KRB out of 93 KRO, 4 sacks allowed
OG Banks, 32 KRB of 90, 7 sacks allowed
C Jackson,23 KRb of 77, 1 sack allowed
OT Armstrong, 13 starts, 19 KRb of 48, 4 sacks allowed
OT Vaughn, 12 starts, 18 of 54, 3 sacks

That’s not too bad for my O Line, although I’d like more KRBs from some of them

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.ibb.co/GQR92SV/Jets-16.png


This was a down year for Thomason’s tackling as well as Burkley, and Sutton led down at 85. This was a down year for sacks, with Stevenson leading with 9 sacks to Sawyer’s 8. 4.5 by NT Fontaine, and then a few for my LB corpse here and there. Rookie Gilliam finished with 3. Sawyer was great in hurries and finished 4th in the league. Fontaine’s 21 was 9th. Fontaine led our team with 7 FF which led the league as well. Thomason’s 5 FF was tied for 2nd.

Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/Smv0rYF/Jets-17.png

Thomason led our team with 5 picks, but Stone returned to normal with 1. This was a down year for picks, Burkley led our team in pasdef with 13.

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Offensive Player of the Year – OG Terry Freitas – This was his highest year of KRB and he has a 7 KRB game. Nicely done.

Defensive Player of the Year – NT Kyle Fontaine- He was 3rd in sacks, 2nd in hurries, 1st in blocked passed and QB knockdowns and FF. He was a disruptive force on the line and was everything we hope he’d be when we drafted him. Nice!

Special Team Player of the Year – K Randall Rabbitt – I say this at least once a year. Dude wins All Pro, dude (likely) wins his group. Rabbitt was 43 of 48, with a ton of FGs, and he had a long of 57 yards, his career long, and he was 38 of 40 on PAT, and he was a weapon.

Rookie of the Year – WLB Junior Gilliam – 3 sacks and 2 in the playoffs, and he was never out classed on defense. He finished with 5 pasdef among other things. Good job Gilliam!

Heart Award – RB Williams – He looks better now that he’s not starting than he did when he was. His YPC are up, as are his scored. Good job Williams!

The 2024 NFL Offseason

The staff draft

I make no offers unless one of our staff is poached. Are any? We draft 2nd. I’ve been surprised that DC Joe Judge hasn’t been brought in as a head coach yet as he’s that good. We make no changes

We pick 1.28.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2024 FA Period #1

This is big as this is the first year I don’t have just RFAs.

I have 30 players on my roster. I sign my RFAs

I cannot sign WLB Marshall Frederickson. He is unhappy due to playing time.

I am now at 35 players

I forgot to extend a bunch of players last year so we’ll be making offers this year for key players and key backups.

MLB Hitt won’t resign with me, neither will OT Morris Cottrell.

I make offers to 15 players.

I extend these players now while I’m thinking


QB Tony Rhem
OG Frietas
K Rabbitt
WR Zercie

I look at the draft. I still need a real starter at FS, as well as a stud at CB, I’d take a stud at DE, OT, a stud RB, and more. I interview some folks.



Week 2 – I sign OT Armstrong

Week 3 – I sign NT Heinlein, SLB Burkley, and OG Banks

Week 4 – I sign FL Sorrells

Week 5 – I sign RB Williams, FL Richardson, and SS Thomason.

Those are my biggest targets and starters locked in.

Week 6 – OT Cottrell signed with New England. We sign OG Nagurski, CB Cunningham.

Week 7 – We sign CB Swift and FS Flannery who is still my starter.

Week 8 – We sign QB Benton

Week 9 – We sign CB Alonzo Stone

Week 10 – We sign RB Walton

We sign all of our targets

We have 66.53 mill left in cap space

We finish the 1st FA period

[Abe Sargent]

The 2024 NFL Amateur Draft

I’m looking for BAPs again as we don’t have studs in most places on our team other than positions like QB, WR, or C and my LB corps and NT.

Picking at 1.1 is Tennessee and they grab RB Andre Kanervala

Our pick arrives at 1.28. Who is available?

The best non-LB player is DE Tyrell Gionfriddo

These are others of note

TE Blaine Walsh
RB Max Tweedle
OT Britt Froehlich
DE Jason Burroughs
DE Levi Monroe
RB Lester Irwin

But there is a stud still on the board. ILB Bruce Norton. He looks nasty.

https://i.ibb.co/NKs7Hrb/Jets-18.png

I’ll show you. He’s not at a position of need but that guy is studly

It’s the position of least need. Do I go for Norton?

Here are my starting LBs

SLB Burkley, 64/64
SILB Phil Sutton, 62/62
WLB Junior Gilliam, 60/68
WILB Edward Raynor, 53/61

This guy could be my next hoss after both Burkley and Gilliam dropped. Imagine I draft him and if he winds up as a great player I could move him to SLB which is key on my 3-4 team.

My backup LBs of quality are

WLB Adam – 50/50

I do need some other LBs as Hitt and Frederickson aren’t resigning.

I can’t pass up a stud at the end of the 1st round. I take him.

2.28.

TE Austin Tito
DE Sawyer Hill
CB Griffin Strobel
OT Amir Werenka

I like them all. Hmm…. Strobel is great at covering but worthless at the picks.

I go Hill.

3.28.

Hmmm…. I’m looking but not finding anything that sells me. OT Sedrick Frimodt? I do FS Ernie Weber, good coverage but bad at the picking.

4.28

WLB Malachi Baines. I need two LBs in this draft.

5.28

Not sure. How about RB Tommy Hines?

6.28

TE Britt Hojnacki, a pass catching specialist

7.28

FS Marcus Liang, in case of a bust by Weber.

Alright!

Rookie Lookie #1

1.28, ILB Bruce Norton, Purdue, 49/84
2.28, DE Sawyer Hill, Duke, 39/71
3.28, FS Ernie Weber, Kentucky, 24/71
4.28, WLB Malachi Baines, AZ State, 35/59
5.28, RB Tommy Hines, New Mexico State, 28/35
6.28,TE Britt Hojnacki, Kentucky, 24/33
7.28, FS Marcus Liang, Arizona, 24/54

And there you are! My top three picks all look strong.

[Abe Sargent]

2024 FA Period #2

I have a vet hold out with Phil Sutton. I agree and extend him a few years

I make offers to these UFA Rookies:

OG Tyrone Hester


I offer an extension to Petherick although he’s dropped to 69/69.

Week 3 – Hester signs

OG Tyrone Hester, 14/50

DE Hill and LB Norton are on The Green Page

Not bad! Are Hill and Weber rising? Is Norton dropping?

I have 58 on my roster. No cuts needed right now

[Abe Sargent]

The 2024 Preseason

I move Burkley to WILB and we’ll run Norton at SLB.

Week 2 – New Orleans – We win 27-17

Week 3 – At Dallas – We lose 31-34

Week 4 – Carolina – We lose 15-20

Week 5 – At Phily - We lose 24-21.

Busts by Hill, and Hester. But Marcus Liang rose and that’s good.

I extend DE Stevenson by four years

[Abe Sargent]

Here’s Norton

https://i.ibb.co/wyw3247/Jets-19.png

As you can see he’s developed well and looks like a strong LB for our SLB spot. He’s very well rounded in coverage, run d, and pressure.

https://i.ibb.co/nsgsPsW/Jets-20.png

Here’s my other good pick after my 2nd round DE broke. As you can see FS Weber has very good coverage and run defense numbers, but suffers at picks. A lot. That’s okay if he nets me a lot of pasdef we’ll be fine. He’s also grown and looks like a strong option for us.

There you are! DE Swayeris starting for me again with Hill’s bust. I have no one on The Green Page. QB Tony Rhem has risen to 87/87 and is now 10 more than any competition. RB Mansell is now 64/64. That makes Mansell the 11th best RB in the league. All but one of the top ten were in the 1st round and one a top 2nd and we grabbed Mansell in the 5th. That’s a nice result from that pick.

[Abe Sargent]

Rookie Check

DE Hill is now the 5th best DE by potential in the draft

OLB Horton is the best LB by potential in the draft. Malachi Baines is 6th best

Weber is the best S, and Liang the 3rd best by potential

RB Hines is one of the worst.

I extend TE Fyie by a year. At 50/50 he’s the 24th best TE by current ability in the league and is a valueable adjunct to Derr.

Do I extend OT Vaughn who has dropped to 58/58? He wants 27 mill over four years, and he’s a run blocking specialist. I could move to Kurtz next year barring a better option. Let’s do that. I won’t extend Vaughn right now. I want to save some cap because I have a lot of big name rookies that will be in the final year of their rookie deal next year inc. WR Barber, RB Mansell, C Jackson and NT Fontaine, and CB Willis. I doubt I’ll be able to keep all five although I really want to. All of those are vital to me and have been my best at those position groups.

I extend backup QB Weiss by a year

As of right now I’ll be losing TE Cook, RB Gaylord, CB Mungeon, and OT Vaughn. Cook is my 4th best TE, and the other two are among my worst options.

I suspect we’ll finish 12-4 this year with an easier schedule. Within one game up or down.

This was a huge year for my team. QB Tony Rhem won the quad-fecta, and Mansell broke out. Norton was a great BAP pick up and hopefully he won’t ebb unlike Burkley next year.

These players on my current roster have at least one all-pro

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Tony Rhem, 383 for 569, 4366 yards, 40:2, 112.1 rating, 21 sacks

This is all record numbers of Rhem in TDs, fewest picks, yards, and fewest sacks. Nicely done. He led the league in yard,s the next highest TD total was just 31, his rating dominated the league. Nicely done!

Rushing

RB Mansell, 306 for 1483, 4.85 ypc, 12 scores,
RB Williams, 91 for 359, 3 scores
QB Rhem, 83 for 387, 1 score

Mansell led the league in yards and rushing scores. This was the first year that my team felt like a team. That a 5th round draftee would do this well is something we talked about earlier and isn’t happening in the league. Good job Mansell!

Receiving

Barber, 82 for 1047, 13 scores
Zercie, 74 for 1117, 6 scores
Derr, 75 for 750, 8 scores
Richardson, 59 for 451, 3 score
Fyie, 33 for 214, 3 scores

Zercie was 3rd in yards in the league and Barber led in scores and it wasn’t close. Derr was the best receiving TE in the league and was robbed of All Pro. He was 2nd in yards and top in scores. This was his coming out season.

Blocking

C Jackson, 42 KRB out of 102 KRO, 3 sacks allowed
Banks, 36 of 99, 3 sacks allowed
Vaughn, 13 starts, 33 of 86, 2 sacks
Freitas, 12 stars, 25 of 75, 0 sacks
Armstrong, 23 of 69, 4 sacks

My best year for my O Line since I’ve been here. They road graded very nicely. Jackson was 6th in the league in KRB.

Special Teams

K Rabbitt – 34 of 39, long of 56, 50 of 50 PAT

Dude made every PAT! That’s nasty.


P Petherick – 81 punts, 46.9 avg, 29 in 20

Pretty solid but obviously quiet year given how good my team was

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.ibb.co/dmR5Qz0/Jets-21.png

After moving him inside, Burkley led my team in tackles and Thomason was 2nd. WLB Gilliam led my team with 9.5 sacks, which was a solid number for the guy. Norton collected 7 in his debut year. Stevenson notched 7.5 sacks and was my best DE. DT Fontaine had another great year with loads of pressure up the middle. He also led our team with 4 FF.

Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/4fsypfJ/Jets-22.png

This was a very light year for picks. Burkley was the only player with more than one. Thomason grabbed another 17 pasdef, and was tied for 6th in the league. In his debut Weber finished with 1 pick and 8 pasdef. Norton in his debut at SLB was 2nd on my team with 11 pasdef. I had three players with 10 inc. WLB Gilliam.

OG Tyrone Hester, 14/50; 18/50; 16/41; 16/41

As you can see Norton really had a strong year for me. Weber grew up a lot as well after starting for me.

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Defensive Player of the Year – WLB Gilliam – He got his first All Pro, led my team in sacks, had some great pasdef numbers and worked well. Good job!

Rookie of the Year – SLB Norton – How could anyone else be here?

[Abe Sargent]

I finish the season. I score an 83

The 2025 NFL Offseason


The Staff Draft

We pick 10th. Do any of my staff get poached by others?

I don’t change my staff even though there are many better at HC.

I make no changes to my staff

Should I franchise Vaughn? Nah

We draft 1.32

[Abe Sargent]

The 2025 FA Period #1

We have 47 under contract. I sign both of my RFAs to go to 49

I have leaving TE Cook, Rb Gaylord, CB Mongeon and OT Vaughn.

Here is who is in the last year of their deal of note that aren’t bad backups.

WR Kirk Barber
WR Richard Hall
TE Junior Fyie
TE Alfredo Hoffman
RB Francisco Mansell
Both backup Qbs
DE Henry Sawyer
NT Kyle Fontaine
ILB Edward Raynor
CB Grayson Willis


I cannot keep them all, but I have a few starters in here and key players like Barber, Mansell, and Fontaine. I’ll let Willis and Raynor go for sure as well as WR Hall.

I only have 40 mill under cap and we need 8 for the draft giving me 32.

Barber is my first target. He has to be.

The best WR in the league is going to be paid 73 over 4 years.

My next target is Mansell but he wants 94 mill over 5 years and I cannot do that… I could franchise him next year if I don’t have any other options.

Fontaine? 46 mill over 5 years. Done.

If Willis just wanted a small amount of cash I’d do it, but that’s too much. He wants 48 mill over 5 years. Nope!

Do I want to extend a TE? They only want 2 mill each. I do both for one extra year each.


Going into the draft I need these players

A replacement for Mansell if possible
4th backup RB
4th TE
5th WR – replace Sorrels
A prospect WR for Hall
Better OT than Kurtz if possible
A stud CB
Backup OT
Backup OG replace Nagurski who has slipped a bit
Backup NT better than Cole
Backup CB better than Nicky Swift
Better mid-round backup QB
Considering DE Hills bust I could use a stud DE as well

I need starters at RB, OT, CB, and I interview those.



Week 3 - Vaughn signs with Cleveland

Week 7 – Mongeon signs with Detroit

Week 9 – TE Cook signs with Dallas

[Abe Sargent]

The 2025 NFL Amateur Draft


Las Vegas drafts first and they draft at 1.1 S Dashawn Beyer

Our pick arrives at 1.32

Who is the best player on the board? OC Bubba Marsh with max stats. I could draft him and move him to OT. All of the top 6 CBs are off the board, I interviewed 2-6.

Dt Bubba Washington, 2nd best player – Could I move him to DE?
OT Earnest Marshall – Overrated
TE David Norton – None have been taken and he’s pretty good.
DE Juan Cauthen – I like him a lot.
RB Shaun Myre, 5.4, As Scouted -with a very low breakaway speed. There;s another very overrated back available
FS Ben Anderson looks great with the bars. Could I take him and move him to CB?
WR Cody Poston looks good as well
CB Leon Cochran – If you didn’t want to try and make it work. He’s more developed.

QB RJ Ellis looks good as does some others.


There are several QBs of quality still on the board

I take Anderson, Cauthen or… Poston? I like them all. Anderson/Cochran or Cauthen? I move from Poston. I can get good WRs later in the draft. I do Anderson over Cochran because he’s better at picks.

2.32

QB Ellis is still on the board.
I like LT Gabriel Flynn.
DE Carson spatz?
WILB Amari Highland?

I like Ellis a lot and he’s the BAP. But he won’t develop behind Rhem. I take Spatz. Ellis goes a few picks later.

3.32

Watch QB Caden Groff

I take WR Jalen Frohbieter. He looks like a grower

4.32

I take Groff.

5.32

TE Lionel Bergman?
Or OT Harris Gaylor?

I go Gaylor


6.32

OG Gino Tapeh

7.32

RB Norm Hawthorne

I move Anderson


Rookie Lookie #1

1.32 - RCB Ben Anderson, Alabama, 22/64
2.32 - DE Carson Spatz, Ohio State; 22/64
3.32 - WR Jalen Frohbieter, Oklahoma, 29/44
4.32 – QB Caden Groff, Augustana, 15/53
5.32 – OT Harris Gaylor, Liberty, 29/50
6.32 – OG Gino Tapeh, OK State; 18/45
7.32 – RB Norm Hawthorne, LA State, 38/53

I hope Frohbieter will grow. The QB I was following? Wound up looking like a stud.

Am I going to have another 2nd round DE bust? Come on Spatz! Tapeh is not looking good for the home team. Anderson looks a little bit better. Will that continue?

Frohbieter is growing! Maybe that will continue!


In order to get to 60 I cut these players

QB Stanley Benton – He was my first draftee and started, and was going to be my primary backup, but he has dropped in ability and I am cutting him and saving some cap dollars.

CB Nicky Swift – I’ve had Swift with me since we started, but he’s been my worst CB and the one inactive every year so it’s time to head on. Another pro contract is saved.

OG Kenyon Nagurski – My worst o line, 6 years as well, but another pro I am cutting.

NT Clifton Cole – One of my oldest and another pro that I am letting go, who is normally on my deactive list.

WR Liam Sorrels – Another pro contract. Been with the team for 6 years and has started. He’s been my primary inactive guy and I am letting him go

[Abe Sargent]

The 2025 NFL Offseason

That drops me to 60 and I hand out inactives

Week 2 – 27-20 over Detroit

Week 3 – 34-20 over Seattle

Week 4 – 16-9 over Minnesota

Week 5 – 10-13 Arizona

We finish 3-1


Rookie Lookie #3

1.32 - RCB Ben Anderson, Alabama, 22/64; 29/66; 30/65
2.32 - DE Carson Spatz, Ohio State; 22/64; 29/62; 30/60
3.32 - WR Jalen Frohbieter, Oklahoma, 29/44; 32/47; 39/62
4.32 – QB Caden Groff, Augustana, 15/53; 19/53; 19/52
5.32 – OT Harris Gaylor, Liberty, 29/50; 34/51; 34/50
6.32 – OG Gino Tapeh, OK State; 18/45; 21/41; 24/46
7.32 – RB Norm Hawthorne, LA State, 38/53; 42/52; 42/52

UFAs

C DeWaters, 34/59; 38/59; 39/56
OG Zach Cunningham, 18/59; 23/60; 23/64
LB Kim Brown, 20/57; 26/55; 27/54
LB Harvey McDaniel, 25/53; 29/54; 29/57

More falling from Spatz isn’t good. But check out the boom of Frohbieter! He had great numbers with his combines and I was hoping he was a grower not a shower after, and that happened. Nice! That’s a nice boom by Cunningham as well.

I had two booms with a UFA in camp

RB Devin Wheeler, 41/56
DT Kai Perkins, 33/53

I cut these players


QB Corbin Weiss
RB Tommy Hines
C Walter Kormelink
OG Tyrone Hester

DE Dexter Foley – he lost a step in camp and the preseason and he has a red flag so I let him go

LB Silas Whittington
LB Kim Brown

Frohbiter replaces Richardson as my 3rd WR. Anderson will start at nickel this year and then move to CB Willis’s spot. Unlike Burkley, Norton has not busted and is sitting at 82/82.

On the Green Page, we have no one. The QB that dropped is 20/79. If we were allowing trading I would have taken him, kept him years as injury insurance for Rhem, and then traded for a high 1st.

[Abe Sargent]

Here’s our first round pick at the 1.32 pick

https://i.ibb.co/87frCWr/Jets-23.png

We’ll be running him out there in the nickel this year with his high picks and then starting next year for Willis after a year of development.

I’m skipping my 2nd busting DE for my 3rd again


https://i.ibb.co/3B9jcz7/Jets-24.png

Instead of maxing at one or a few places and minimized in others he’s actually very well rounded. I may look to move him into my 2nd role after he develops fully over Zercie although most of my formations start 3 or more WR in my spread offense. He’ll replace Richardson later on. He’s a fun mid-draft guy who has boomed in camp and the preseason. Although maybe not a Zercie is 63/63 to his 62 max barring more growth.

[Abe Sargent]

This year needed to be a youth movement and it proved to be, given upcoming salary cap expenses

Here is my rookie news

QB Groff is the 3rd highest potential in the draft

RB Wheeler is 6th in pot, RB Hawthrone is 11th

Frohbieter is 4th best.

C DeWaters is 3rd

OG Cunningham is 4th.

OT Gaylor is 5th

DE Carson Spatz is 6th at DE

LB McDaniel is 7th among all LBs.

CB Ben Anderson is tied for 4th

Good job everyone!

[Abe Sargent]

Stats

Offense

Passing – QB Tony Rhem – 369 of 540, 3871, 32:5, 104.8 rating, 23 sacks

He led in rating and that’s it. I don’t know why he got those awards. He was 5th in yards, 3rd in TDs and 2nd in %.

Rushing

RB Mansell – 277 for 1300, 4.69 ypc, 10 scores
QB Tony Rhem – 91 for 410, 2 scores

WR Barber – 61 for 868, 10 scores
WR Frohbieter – 64 for 567 and 4
TE Derr – 56 for 568, 5


Down years for every one with no 1000 yards anywhere to be found.

Good years for Freitas and Jackson

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.ibb.co/P6BNLSp/Jets-25.png

As you can see, Thomason again leads my team in tackles. It was a down year in sacks, and Sawyer with 7 was my best. Norton and Gilliam were held to 6 each, and Stevenson held to 4. Fontaine just 3.5 sacks and down years for the other stats for him. With 3 FF Fontaine led my team.


Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/kmp27V8/Jets-26.png

Thomason also led my team in picks and pasdef with 14. Willis a solid year in his final year for me. Anderson as my nickelback was rocking 1 pick and 3 pasdef and an INT RET TD. FS Weber rocked 12 pasdef and was 2nd on my team.


This was a down year for my defense and my offense. Where was Norton? Where was Rhem? Where was Barber?

[Abe Sargent]

The 2026 NFL Offseason

I end the season and I score a 87 more than last year with my Super Bowl Win. Weird


Staff Draft

I retain all of my staff and offer them new deals

We draft 8th

I make no changes to my staff

I have 40 mill under the cap and need 10 for my folks. Do I franchise Mansell? It’s 13.7 mill if I do. I have coming open these folks:

C Bryce Jackson
WLB Junior Gilliam
TE Josiah Derr
TE Frie
TE Hoffman
RT Jack Kurtz
CB Pat Schwake
LT Derek Armstrong
RB Aaron Williams
DT Heinlein
LB Sutton


I don’t think I’ll have enough cash to resign my keys.

I franchise him anyway. I may have a plan...

[Abe Sargent]

The 2026 NFL FA Period #1

I make offers to my RFAs – we are now at 48

Leaving this year is DE Henry Sawyer, WR Richard Hall, ILB Edward Raynor, and CB Grayson Willis

Wow. Mansell wants a lot less cash this year.

TE Kerr is too expensive, as is Armstrong. And Gilliam.

I extend C Jackson.

I extend TE Hoffman and Fyie.

I extend RB Mansell by three years.

I extend Phil Sutton and drop his cap hit. I extend CB Schwake Because he’s cheap right now I extend OT Kurtz by two years. I extend Alonzo Stone by a year.

I have 7 mill in cap space. I leave that open for my UFAs

WR Richardson appears to have retired. Not sure why.

We draft 1.28.

I need…

2 WR
DE
2 LB
CB

Now in open spots and I have three backup upgrades possible with

Backup S better than Flannery
Backup 2 LB better than Adam and Baines

For now

And for future starters

OT for Armstrong
TE for Derr

I interview 5 CBs, four OTs and a few LBs and the top TE.

I may wanna chase WR Hall in FA since Richardson retired if he’s cheap enough. I have 6 open spots and 3 open backups and two future starters for 7 draft picks. We’ll see his cost in Week 2

I might wanna tag Gilliam, Derr, or Armstrong next year, but probably just the first two.

Week 1 - I make an offer for Hall as it’s just a bit more than a UFA rookie with a 100,000 signing bonus for three years.

Week 2 – DE Sawyer signs with the Patriots

Week 8 – ILB Raynor signs with Carolina

Week 9 – CB Willis signs.

Week 11 – Hall signs with us

[Abe Sargent]

The 2026 NFL Amateur Draft

Picking at 1.1 is Las Vegas again. They take QB Monty Spencer

As a reminder I need

WR
DE
2 LB
CB
Backup S better than Flannery
Backup 2 LB better than Adam and Baines

And for future starters

OT
TE

Our pick at 1.28 has arrived. Who is available?

OLB Bucky McIntyre – Overrated. No thanks!
OLB Omar Brenner – No interview
DE Fernando Shepherd – No interview
OG Norm Schraeder – No interview
OG Aiden Boone – Good bars, no combine scores
OT Kyle Fulcher – Hard to Read, not great bars
OT Tony Turnbull – No interview, better bars
OT Don Cortez – Better bars
CB Chandler Deloach, Very Overrated
CB Randell Menzer – Great potential combines, medium bars, no interview
WR Gene Lyons – No interview, good bars
WR Spencer Galarza – Looks better in the bars, and is a stud returner.

Who do I want?

I go Don Cortez

The 2.28 spot arrives. Who do I like here?

DE Shepherd is still on the board. I like SLB Marco Garcia. RCB Richard Bruce looks great. Do I want to risk a 3rd straight 2nd rounder to a DE? I take Bruce.

3.28 is here

LB Marco Garcia is on the board to I grab him he looks strong. He looks to have fallen and is one of the BAP.

4.28

Who do I like now?

OC Ray Irwin is a stud. If I hadn’t signed my C in the FA Period I’d consider him. I could grab him and move him to OG to replace Banks. The top player other than Irwin is DE Colby Shields. I grab Shields I also think FS Russell Poole has fallen, but Shields is better.

At 5.28 Irwin is off the board. I was hoping he’d be there.

I grab LB Frankie Gleason.

At 6.28 I snatch RB Artie Pollard which is a flyer.

At the 7.28 spot I’m unsure. Hmmmmm…. How about DT Tanner Kinney whom is the best BAP on the board?

Rookie Lookie #1

1.28 - OT Don Cortez, Michigan State; 37/59
2.28 – CB Ricard Bruce, Colorado; 24/62
3.28 – MLB Marco Garcia, Westminster; 28/64
4.28 - DE Colby Shields, Ohio State; 34/71
5.28 – LB Frankie Gleason, Georgia; 24/49
6.28 – RB Artie Pollard, Notre Dame; 33/47
7.28 – DT Tanner Kinney; 20/48

And there we are!

[Abe Sargent]

2026 FA Period #2

WR Devin DeLong
QB Danny Monroe
NT Kurt Dylla
CB Bob Cote
ILB Hugh Upshaw

Week 1 – I sign two

Week 2 – I sign three

Week 3 – I sign the last one

Kinney is still dropping and Cortez is still rising. Shields is my first DE in a while that hasn’t busted!

Marco Garcia? Hello boom!


UFAs

ILB Hugh Upshaw, 16/50; 20/49; 20/49


I cut

RB Aaron Williams – Dropped a step from 50/50 to 42/42

WR Richard Hall – He dropped to 34/34.

OT Ian Chambliss

DT Tanner Kinney – Duh

NT Kurt Dylla

WLB Denzel Adam – My worst LB

CB Alonzo Stone – I hate this but he dropped to 39/39

We now have 18 mill in cap space after losing some vets. Should I extend Derr or Gilliam?

Derr wants 63 mil over 5 years

Gilliam wants 40 mill over 4 and his demands have really dropped. I agree to an extension with the WLB and my 2nd best LB

Rookies I am starting

CB Bruce
DE Shields
OT Cortez
LB Garcia at SILB

Schwake is my top nickelback and Liang my dimeback

[Abe Sargent]

https://i.ibb.co/k2NBprW/Jets-27.png

Here’s my top pick OT Cortez, and this is my first top pick to my o line. Getting a mid 60s OT at the back of the 1st is about as well as you can do given the high profile nature of the position. As you can see he’s well rounded and not a specialist.

Which other rookie will I show you? #2? Or how about my highest rated rookie by potential?

https://i.ibb.co/CW3BPGp/Jets-28.png

Sure for the potential! Here is The Shields. As you can see he’s better at run stopping than rushing, but he’s fine there as well. He’s a big nasty hitter and good at play diagnosis as well.

On the Green Page? Shields is 5th. He’s our only one on it.

[Abe Sargent]

Rookie Investigation

At Rb? Pollard is 6th best by potential.

At OT Cortez is 4th best. The three better were higher picks in the 1st. Three 1sts were taken later that he’s better than.

DE Shields is the 3rd best DE in the draft by potential.

LB Garcia is the best LB in the draft. LB Gleason is 14th best

CB Bruce is the 7th best CB. It was a deep draft for them.

https://i.ibb.co/VQ0fPGh/Jets-29.png

Here are all safeties in the league sorted by potential. FB Weber is 5th. Thomason has dropped to 59/59 and I may wind up moving Liang over and you can see my three safeties there. I wish I had taken that stud FS Russell Poole that was falling as I could have moved it to SS. Ah well. I had a great draft so no real issues here on my behalf.

Rhem is still the best QB in the league at 87/87. Mansell has crept into the back part of the top 10 at RB. Derr is 3rd. Barber is 2nd. Jackson is 5th. Freitas is 4th, Fontaine is 6th. LB Norton is 3rd.


We need to get our defense and offense back to where they were after down years last year. But I don’t control it so I just have to hope that my guys can do so.

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Tony Rhem, 381 of 578, 4567 yards, 40:11, 105.4 QB Rating, 19 sacks

That’s his best year on yards and sacks, and the 40 tosses ties his record. He led the league in most QB stats from yards per completion to rating to TDs. Nicely done!

Rushing

RB Francisco Mansell - 245 for 1216, 4.96 ypc, 7 TDs
QB Tony Rhem – 86 for 474, 3 scores

Mansell was 3rd in yards and tied for 6th in rush TDs.


Receiving

https://i.ibb.co/Tcq70x9/Jets-30.png

Barber had his best year with 1291 yards and a ton of scores. He led the league in catching TDs, and was 7th in yards. Derr had a great year for us and was one of the best TEs receiving. Mansell added more than 500 yards to take his yards from scrimmage to more than 1700. Another down year for Zercie and Frohbieter was down as well from his rookie season last year.

Blocking

OG Terry Freitas, 31 KRB out of 91 KRO, 5 sacks allowed
OG Efrain Banks, 27 of 86, 5 sacks
C Bryce Jackson, 25 of 70, 1 sack
OT Don Cortez, 25 of 59, 1 sack
OT Jack Kurtz, 13 of 44, 1 sack

This was a down year for my blocking across the table. Cortez was fine in his first year.


Special Teams

K Rabbitt – 34 of 39, Long of 55, 49 of 50 PAT

Not too shabby

P Petherick – 73 punts, 45.8 avg, 29 in 20

His average is down.

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.ibb.co/MD0zW3f/Jets-31.png

Thomason led our team in tackles again and Norton was 2nd. Norton led our team with 8 sacks, with 5 for Gilliam, 4.5 for Fontaine, among others. With 4 FF Burkley led my team. Not bad folks!

Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/HFKMg2P/Jets-32.png

Thomason led in picks and pasdef. Good job. His 16 pasdef is tied for 5th in the league. Anderson with 3 picks and Schwake with 3 as well as Liang. This was a good year for picks in my secondary but a low year for my LB Corps who only had 3 picks total.



Not bad!

I end the season

I score a 85


The 2027 NFL Offseason

Staff draft

We draft 9th and…no changes needed

We have 42 players under contract and these players of note now free

OT Armstrong
TE Derr
NT Heinlein
CB Cunningham
FS Flannery

We have 14.9 mill in cap space and we only have 6.5 for new players and I’ll need that for my RFAs.

So can I keep Derr?

I think so. I have a plan

I franchise him

[Abe Sargent]

The 2027 FA Period #1

We are 3 mill over the cap

I have a lot of players in the last year of their deal –

I extend Tony Rhem by four years and drop his cap his this year

I cut WILB Burkley. He’s 30, and he’s been dropping in things like pass rush as well as stats. He’s my most paid LB and this frees up 9.6 mill in salary cap.

Now I can I sign Derr to 65 mill over 5 years

I sign my RFAs and am at 48 folks

I extend Freitas and save 3 mill this year

I extend K Rabbitt by thee years

I now have 13 mill

I extend SLB Bruce Norton for 66 mill and 4 years

I extend Marcus Liang three years for 6 mill

I cannot do FS Weber right now and will look for a franchise tag next year maybe

Do I want to extend OG Banks? Nope I’ll swap to OG Cunningham. He’s making 11 mill this year we’ll lose next.

I extend RB Devin Wheeler for another year

Weber is the only big miss next year. He wants 64 mill over 5 years. I could give him Bank’s contract next year.


What do I need for my roster?

OT backup
OG Backup
NT backup
1 new LB backup ish
CB backup
S backup


Roster options

Backup LB better than Gleason
Backup CB better than Cote
Backup TE to replace a dropping Fyie


I don’t have many open places in my starters.

I could go with a stud OG for Banks or Cunningham, or a stud OT for Kurtz. I’ll need, long erm, a replacement for DE Stevenson who’s 29 and expensive for someone that doesn’t get me a lot of sacks.

Studs

DE
OT
OG

We pick 1.31

I interview OT, OG, and DE and a RB or two and a pair of S for projects to replace Thomason.


Week 2 – OT Armstrong signs with Denver,

Week 3 – DT Heinlein signs with Houston

Week 5 – CB Cunningham signs with Detroit

Kendall Flannery doesn’t sign

[Abe Sargent]

The 2027 NFL Amateur Draft

Miami drafts first and at the 1.1 spot they take ILB Duane Hammond

The 1.31 pick arrives. Who am I looking at?

Here is what I need:

Backups:

OT backup
OG Backup
NT backup
1 new LB backup ish
CB backup
S backup

Roster options:

Backup LB better than Gleason
Backup CB better than Cote
Backup TE to replace a dropping Fyie

Studs:

DE
OT
OG

Who is available?

OT Bucky Hicks – No interview, 2nd best OT in the draft
OT Carlton Crichton – Underrated
OT Ronald Lynn – Hard to Read
OG Oliver Brewer – Very Underrated
OG Luis Hanks – I like his bars
TE Brock Lindquist – Looks studly
DE Al Hickey – No interview
DT Toby Franklin – No interview
SLB Francisco Rodman – No Interview
ILB Brent Sampson – No interview

BAP are Franklin and Lindquist and a C named Benjamin Loveless.

Could I take Franklin and turn him into a DE?


I like TE Lindquist because this is a TE poor TE talent league and getting two would be great. I could run them both in many settings. And then I could let Derr go and keep Lindquist if he worked out. I like Franklin because he appears from here to be the BAP and if I need a DT, I’d grab him. Or if Fontaine was dropping or unsignable or something else. But he is 27 year old stud.

So what do I do and where do I go?

I could draft Franklin. But what else?

OT Hicks? I thought he’d be gone and I didn’t interview him. Or Luis Hanks who looks great? Let’s do Hanks as OG in Banks’ last year is more of a need than OT and he has better combines and looks to be a good growth target like my OT Last year


2.31

RT Gerald O’Neill?
TE Lindquist is still on the board.

O Neill is the last best OT on the board. I take him as he looks swank.

3.31

Lindquist is gone but TE Darryl Kirwan? I do need a replacement for Fyie and he looks really really strong in the bars. I grab Kirwan.

4.31

I like DE Sammie Doran who seems to have fallen as well as DE Jalen Bullock. I grab the better pass rusher which is Bullock

5.31

RDT Myles Trujillo is the best DT on the board and we need one, so I grab him.


6.31

LB Darien Wheeler has fallen and looks nice. Very BAP with good bars


7.31

FS Micah Shonek – The best S on the board. This is a flyer. But he has better combines than his bars,


Rookie Lookie #1

1.31 – OG Luis Hanks, New Mexico, 32/64
2.31 – OT Gerald O’neill , Notre Dame, 24/69
3.31 – TE Darryl Kirwan, Kentucky, 34/66
4.31 – DE Jalen Bullock, California, 37/68
5.31 – DT Myles Trujillo, Purdue, 27/47
6.31 – OLB Darien Wheeler, Yale, 31/58
7.31 – S Micah Shonek, Oregon State, 16/45


Alright! That’s four players with pots in the 60s, and if that holds, that was a solid end of the round draft. IF it holds….

[Abe Sargent]

2027 FA Period #2

I have 55 players under contract. I cut TE Fyie to let him get picked up. I hate to see him go but he has dropped.

I make offers to these UFAs

C Roberto Hoffman
DE Christopher Austin
QB Russell Malone
TE Sean Cortez
CB Rodney Sawyer
WR Daniel Mayes

Week 1 – We sign 3

Week 2 – We sign the rest

6.31 – OLB Darien Wheeler, Yale, 31/58; 36/57
7.31 – S Micah Shonek, Oregon State, 16/45; 20/43

Hanks looks to be growing and I’m happy to see that! Is Kirwan a grower? Trujillo might be a bust.

My 50s pots

C Roberto Hoffman - 24/59; 28/58
DE Christopher Allen – 22/51; 27/50

Meh

I cut DE Norm Stevenson. He was my best DE and worth 15 mill. He only has 31.5 sacks in 6 yeas of starting, and that’s not enough. We are moving to DE Bullock and others, and I am letting him go now, freeing up space on the cap, and moving on. Good luck Norm!

I also cut QB Malone who dropped. I also cut TE Cortez.

7.31 – S Micah Shonek, Oregon State, 16/45; 20/43; 20/45

Hanks looks to have boomed! Nicely done lad. Kirwan has also boomed and we now have two TEs that are in the top 10.

My 50s pots

C Roberto Hoffman - 24/59; 28/58; 28/56
DE Christopher Allen – 22/51; 27/50; 26/50

Meh again

I make these roster changes

OG Banks - I cut my long term starter for Hanks. He was in his last year, and I wanna give him room elsewhere. He was my longest starter at 8 years. Good luck!

The only other 8 year vets are Thomason, Petherick and LS Glenn.

WR Daniel Mayes
OC Ted DeWaters
LB Malachi Baines

Mansell has dropped to 56/56…
ILB Phil Sutton has dropped to 52/52
Weber dropped to 64/64 – he’s cheaper now and I extend him for 45 mill over 5 years

I start DE Shields and Bullock. I also start both of my O line folks.

There you are! As you can see my youth movement is ongoing. Football is a game of replacement not sustainment.

[Abe Sargent]

On The Green Page, we have DE Bullock 7th, and OT O’Neill.

Rookie investigation

TE – At TE Kirwan was the top TE after booming. We have 2 others in the 70s,anda few more in the 60ss ,it was a big draft for TEs. Lindquist is 49/69.

OG Luis Hanks is the 4th best by potential. The 3 ahead were taken earlier. None taken earlier busted, and this class was very consistent as the 4th OG taken was the 4th in potential value.

O’Neill is also 4th best at OT by potential. Many went off the board but we did well and most of the good ones were taken before us in the 2nd round.

DE Jalen Bullock is 4th at DE. The other one that fell, DE Doran, was 2nd best by pot.

At LB Wheeler is 7th best among all LBs.

2.31 – OT Gerald O’neill , Notre Dame, 24/69; 31/69; 32/68; 39/68

[Abe Sargent]

Stats

Offensive

Passing –

QB Tony Rhem – 329 of 527, 3891, 26:7, 95.8 QB Rating, 14 sacks

His sack number is down, but he was out for most of a game for the others. His TDs need to be better.

Rushing

RB Francisco Mansell – 275 for 1204,4.38 ypc, 6 rush TD
QB Tony Rhem – 81 for 443, 5.47 ypc, 3 TDs
RB Devin Wheeler – 44 for 28 and 3 scores


Mansell was 4th in rush yards, and down in YPC and Rush scores.


Receiving

https://i.ibb.co/VTNrDSp/Jets-33.png

Barber my only 1000+ rec in a down year for Rhem. Zercie was very close though. You can see Derr and rookie Kirwan. I have three 60+ WR, one 80+ and two 60+ TE and we need to do better than this.


Blocking

OG Terry Freitas – 32 KRB of 94 KRO, 4 pancakes, 2 sacks allowed
OC Bryce Jackson – 29 of 114, 2, 2 sacks allowed
OT Don Cortez – 27 of 73, 1, 7 sacks allowed
OG Luis Hanks – 25 of 72, 3 sacks allowed
OT Gerald O’Neill – 12 starts, 7 of 25, 0 sacks allowed

This was a down year for my O Line, Jackson should have down better. To be fair I started two rookies.

Special Teams

K Rabbitt – 38 of 45, Long of 52, 47 of 49 PAT

Not bad

P Petherick – 88 punts, 46.8 avg, 37 in 20

That is a nasty in 20 average and he led the league.

CB Richard Bruce – 43 PR, 10.7 avg, 2 PR RET TD

Nasty year for Bruce

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.ibb.co/K250yQh/Jets-34.png

Thomason and Norton tied in tackles to lead my team. My best sacks was 7.5 by DE Bullock, the rookie. FS Weber led my team with 4 FF.

Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/XkcrVFc/Jets-35.png

Thomason and nickelback Schwake led my team in 4 picks each. We had LOADS of pasdef this year and Weber led the league in pasdef.

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – WR Kirk Barber – My only All Pro makes this an obvious choice. He was 4th in yards in the league and tied for 5th in TDs. His yp catch was 4th highest among qualifiers. Good job Kirk!

Def. Player of the Year – SLB Bruce Norton – Led my team in tackles, was 3rd in picks, had a great 14 pasdef. Good job Norton!

Special Teams Player of the Year – CB Richard Bruce – Two PR RET TD? Done!

Rookie of the Year – DE Jalen Bullock- Led my team in sacks and was a great young force from me.

Heart Award – ILB Marco Garcia – Was great as a backup and did some strong things for me and netted me 2 picks, 1 RETD, 8 pasdef, while splitting starts with ILB Sutton. Good job Garcia!

We end the season

[Abe Sargent]

OG Banks retired

Staff Draft

We draft 15

No one poaches my staff

I only have one non-RFA leaving my team, DE Hill, and I won’t franchise him

[Abe Sargent]

The 2028 FA Period #1

I cannot sign my RFAs as we are 9.65 mill under the cap and we need that for my rookie class

Who is coming up with 1 year left of value?

P Petherick
LS Glenn
WR Zercie
ILB Sutton
TE Hoffman
WR Barber
C Jackson
WR Frohbieter – who has dropped to 50/50
RB Wheeler
RB Hawthorne
OT Kurtz
CB Anderson who boomed to 67/67
OG Cunningham
SS Thomason
DE Spatz

I want to sign Anderson with a deal he wants just 38 mill over 5 years which is cheap

Jackson wants an increase in his cap hit to extend him by 5 years. I can find a new C and other than one year he’s never really excelled. I’ll let him go next year.

I drop Thomason by two million to extend him a year, he’s 32 and won’t be my best option for too long.

I sign some RFAs with the money saved

I extend Barber and drop his cap hit by 5 mill.

I could extend Zercie and drop my cap hit by 2 mill but I don’t know that that is worth it for a guy as inconsistent as him. Frohbieter wants 18 mill for 3 years which I could do instead, but that’s not enough for this year.

RB Wheeler just wants 8.8 for 3 years.

I could extend Mansell by another year and drop him from 16 to 11 but that’s a big risk

I sign CB Ben Anderson

I’ll let Kurtz finish his contract.

I extend Petherick and save a mill. I also extend LS Glenn

I have 3.8 mill in cash available.

I extend WLB Harvey McDaniel for another year. And TE Hoffman as well. Oh and QB Groff.


Lets’ look at the draft and then make these decisions

I need (right now)

Starting WR for either Zercie or Frohbieter
OG – Backup
C – Starter
LB – Backup
LB – Starter for Sutton
2 CB – Backup

We pick 1.24

There is a stud C on the board I interview and he came back underrated so I hope to target him at 1.24 if available. His name is Duane Vail. I like him a lot. I hope he’s there.

We have 51 under my contract and we are losing 14 next year. I need to have some sort of a continuity so we need to keep some.

I certainly can franchise one of them but that’d be too expensive for these folks save for Jackson. I’ll save my other decisions for after the draft to see what happens. I can make offers and cuts later.

Week 2 – DE Hill signs with the Eagles

We end FA.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2028 NFL Draft

Picking first is New England. At the 1.1 they take DE Freddie Lang, the best player in the draft.

The 1.24 arrives. Is Vail there?

Yup!

Anyone else I want?

Nope!

I take him

The 2nd round arrives!

Here is what I need:

Starter – WR, LB

Backup – OG, CBx2, LB,

What do I like?

WR Percy Hutchins?
Howard Tanner, SLB?

I do Hutchins. This is a deep receiver draft and he looks like amazing bars.

3rd Round?

How about WR Dalton Ballard?

There is also a S available as well. Jaylen Kripper. I could draft him and move him to a CB spot. This is a weak CB draft. I do so. He has the look of a grower.


4th Round?

Hmmmm…. Ballard is off the draft list. I could grab WR Brady Woodard the best one left.
I like OG Kerry Darquea who seems to be a bit of a fall.

I take Darquea


5th Round –

RB Howie Newman is the best on the board. Hopefully he’ll be a cheaper backup than we have coming.

6th Round-
 
Dave Hanks, WLB is available. He’s the best LB.

7th Round –

CB Britt Winters is the best CB on the board. I grab him.


Rookie Lookie #1

1.24 – C Duane Vail, LA State, 33/90;
2.24 – WR Percy Hutchins, Southern Methodist, 35/64

I cut these players

QB Erik Williams
FB Rich Bristol
WR Mickey Burton
OC Roberto Hoffman
LB Donny Silvan
LB Scott Ponder
SS Micah Shonek

Mansell has dropped to 48/48 and won’t be starting this year. Rhem has risen to 90/90!

[Abe Sargent]

Here is my #1 pick

https://i.ibb.co/ncHX7Mq/Jets-36.png

Here is Duane Vail! He’s pretty sexy keen and will hopefully help us out for a long time to come! I targeted him at the 1.24 spot and came up with him


Wanna see my #2 pick?

https://i.ibb.co/hBvbnSm/Jets-37.png

Sure thing, here you go! Hutchins is green but looks nice. After Frohbieter and Zercie leave at the end of the year Hutchins should be ready for the #2 spot.

Vail and Hutchins are on The Green Page

[Abe Sargent]

Here let me show you something

https://i.ibb.co/CJk1X0B/Jets-38.png

This is my roster sorted by potential. As you can see we have 2 in the 90s, 2 in the 80s, 9 in the 70s, and 10 in the 60s. That’s a lot! We’ve done very well for ourselves turning this roster into a juggernaut.

Now let me show you something else.

https://i.ibb.co/Ydmf0rv/Jets-39.png

Here are all of the non-kickers in the league sorted by potential. As you can see, the entire league onto has 5 90s, and 15 80s and we have a big chunk of talent in the league.

[Abe Sargent]

Rookie Check

At C, Vail is the best. He’s also the best lineman

WR Hutchins is the 5th best in the draft, this was a deep draft

After swapping over from S and growing, CB Kripper is 4th best in the draft at CB. Winters is 11th.

LB Hanks is the 17th best LB in the draft

After booming, Darquea is still only the 4th best OG in the draft.

[Abe Sargent]

Stats

Offensive

Passing

Tony Rhem – 362 of 581, 3911 yards, 23:12, 86.6 rating, 25 sacks

He had another down year. But he won another Super Bowl and that’s what really matters.

Rushing

Devin Wheeler – 260 for 931, 3.58 ypc, 11 scores
Tony Rhem – 101 for 372, 2 scores

It was a down year for my rushing offense as well and Wheeler was not where I want to be in any way or shape or form.

Receiving

https://i.ibb.co/Nt4wbC3/Jets-40.png

This was a down year for all of our offensive skill players. No one had 1000+ yards and Barber was embarrassing. Everyone needs to do better except for Derr who had a great year.

Blocking

OG Luis Hanks, 22 KRB of 94 KRO, 4 sacks
OT Don Cortez, 14 starts, 20 of 51, 8 sacks allowed
OC Duane Vail, 18 of 67, 1 sack allowed
OG Terry Freitas, 11 starts, 17 of 64, 2 sacks
OT Gerald O’Neill, 8 starts, 12 of 30, 2 sacks allowed

A down year for this folks although they suffered injuries to be fair.

Special Teams

K Randall Rabbitt – 37 of 41, Long of 55, 33 of 38 PAT

A down year for his PAT %. Wow.


P Roosevelt Petherick – 107 punts, 47.6 avg, 44 in 20

An up year in his punts given the down year in our scoring.

CB Richard Bruce – 2 PR RET TD

Nice!

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.ibb.co/7NsTcn8/Jets-41.png

Where is Thomason’s leading in tackles? Odd. Weber led and Norton was 2nd like normal. Norton led my team with 7.5 sacks and, as you can see, we cannot unlock those stud DEs. DE Shields? 5.5 sacks. DE Bullock? Zero sacks. This was not great either. Fontaine led my team with 5 FF.

Pass Coverage


https://i.ibb.co/BV3PLyq/Jets-42.png

Richard Bruce led my team with 4 picks and Thomason an okay 3 along with nickelback Schwake’s 3. FS Weber led my team in pasdef again. Norton was 2 picks and 12 pasdef all solid.

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – TE Josiah Derr – He finished 2nd in yards, was better than Barber, and scored a lot. He had a great year and wasn’t bothered like my other weapons were. Good job!

Def. Player of the Year – SLB Bruce Norton – Dude wins his 3rd All Pro in 5 years, dude wins my Def. POTY. Good job Bruce!

Special Teams Player of the Year – PR Richard Bruce – Two more PR RET TDS after 2 last year? Dude is a weapon!

Rookie Award – OC Duane Vail – Just allowed 1 sack, was one of only two O Line to stay healthy the whole year, a better block % than OG Hanks or OG Freitas. Good job Vail!

Heart Award – OT Jack Kurtz – Started 10 games due to injuries a the OT position, finished with just two sacks allowed, 11 KRB and a solid %. Good job!

[Abe Sargent]

Alright we are about to end the Jets and move elsewhere.

Before we do, here is my record and results


2019 – Before I made any changes – 6-10
2020 – 2-14
2021 – 5-11
2022 – 11-5, #1 seed, AFC Championship loss
2023 – 11-5, #3 seed, Week 2 Loss.
2024 – 13-3, #1 seed, Super Bowl Victory
2025 – 13-3, #2 seed, Week 2 Loss
2026 – 13-3, #1 Seed, Super Bowl Loss
2027 – 13-3, #5 seed, Loss in Week 1
2028 – 15-1, #1 seed, Super Bowl Victory


So where am I moving to? Well assuming they’ll have me, I wanna head to the Dolphins.

Why?

Three reasons.

1. The Dolphins have not been doing well since this dynasty began. Not at all. They are very losingly.
2. The Dolphins were the worst team in the NFL last year with a 2-13-1 record.
3. The biggest reason? They are a fellow AFC East rival. They will have to deal with the Jets themselves, which is rough after having to deal with two back to back epic dynasties in the Pats and the Jets in their division. In the last two years, AFC East teams Buffalo and New York have won Super Bowls so taking over a whipping boy makes sense.

Assuming they’ll let me come aboard that is. I don’t know why they wouldn’t.

I end the year

https://i.ibb.co/ZJP8d1K/Jets-43.png

These players are leaving the Jets,

I score a 87

[Abe Sargent]

The 2029 NFL Offseason

RB Mansell retired. Odd.

Welcome to Miami!

I will be letting go the entire roster in the first week of FA. I will not be franchising anyone.

Staff draft

Given our poor record this past year I am looking for a new staff

We draft 15th

Our HC is Brian Schott and…he’s actually the best available when we pick. Anyone else I like? Nope not enough. We’ll keep him.

My OC is Harold Goodwin, OL Lover, Erdardt-Perkins lover, Ty Cassidy is available, he loves TEs and prefers a balanced style of play. He’s the best choice. I grab him.

At DC I have Steve Wilks who is no where near the best. I grab… Lance Mulroney who is very strong. Very strong. He is 44, loves the 43 Under, and we’ve build a traditional 4-3 team.

At AC my guy is Morris Buchanan who’s not that bad but I upgrade to Nathaniel Hackett.

I upgrade my Strength Coordinator to Dalton Hittle.

We have the top pick in the draft. Will there be a stud up there of the QB persuasion? Let’s find out!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2029 NFL FA Period #1

I interview a few players. There is a stud Rb that comes back As Scouted who is the best player in the draft and a stud QB As Scouted as well.

I interview folks that might be available at the 2.1 spot. I interview 5 WRs to grab someone to go with my QB or RB.

I cut all of my players

I pass to Week 2. I have a10 year old FA I want to make an offer to bring back, CB Geoff Mongeon from my days at the Jets.

The Jets franchised Zercie. That’s very sad I was hoping to bring in a developed WR.


I make offers to these players:

OT Jack Kurtz
RB Devin Wheeler
Rb Norm Hawthorne
OT Harris Gaylor
OG Zach Cunningham
DE Carson Spatz
WR Jalen Frohbieter
ILB Phil Sutton
MLB Jeremy Burkley is also a FA
SILB Edward Raynor, another former Jet

Week 2 – We sign Kurtz and Spatz. They were the best O Line and 3rd best D Line in the FA.

Week 4 – Wheeler signs.

Week 5 – Jalen Frohbieter signs with us

Week 6 -Burkley and Raynor and Hawthorne join us.

Week 8 – Mongeon and Cunningham sign

Week 9 – Sutton joins us

We finish our first FA!

I move some of my LBs around. Burkley back to SLB, Raynor to WLB and Sutton to MLB.

[Chas in Cinti]

Nice spin... will be fun to continue to follow... conquer the Jets!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2029 NFL Amateur Draft

Now our choice arrives…

Stud RB?

Or stud QB?

RBs feel rarer than QBs.

Here, let me show you.

https://i.ibb.co/SfsWWgp/Jets-44.png

As you can see we have 3 Qbs with a 80+ pot, 9 more with a 70+ and 9 more with a 60+

But for RBs?

https://i.ibb.co/w0DGL8j/Jets-45.png


As you can see, just 1 in the 80+, just two more in the 70+ and only 9 in the 60s. They are not as rife at the top ends like QBs.

Now here are my choices

https://i.ibb.co/NyK6fDK/Jets-46.png

Here’s the top player in the draft, absolute stud RB Andre Boone. He’s well rounded. He’s nasty. He would dominate my team. Hopefully.

https://i.ibb.co/jgNMSY6/Jets-47.png

Now’s here’s B.J. Vance. He’s very strong as a Qb and very well rounded.

So which do you do? The rare stud at RB or the common stud at QB? I do QB. If Vance were Hard to Read, (or worse) or had uneven or worse bars, then I’d do the RB and build around him. But as you can see Vance appears to be better than a normal 60s QB or even a low 70s one. So I take him.


I’ll see you at the 2nd round

[Abe Sargent]

Nice spin... will be fun to continue to follow... conquer the Jets!

Glad you enjoy it!

[Abe Sargent]

2.1 – From here on out I am looking for as many quality stud and starters as possible. Other than OT, QB and LB (unless we have a true stud) I’ll take talent anywhere. So who is the best player that fell?

I’d love to take a WR, but this is a weak draft and I won’t force one.

SS Evan Letcher?
FS Leon Sanchez?
OLB Mack Gilliard?
OG Alfredo Wagner?
OG Tito Baggett?
DE Leonardo Stanton?
DT Jonah Joseph?
Gilliard is the BAP. But I like having a strong SS or FS. Phil Sutton is a 42/42 guy so I feel I can push him at LB. Can I pass by the BAP for Gilliard? But I don’t need to invest 1sts or 2nds into LBs as a 4-3. I need them into my D Line. How about DE Leonardo Stanton? I have a good DE Already, how about DT Jonah Joseph instead? I love the OG Tito Baggett as well.

I do DT Jonah Joseph


The 3.1 arrives. Who do I like here? LB Eduardo Fuller is the BAP and I take him.

4.1 – I like OG Seth Ellard. We need another O Line.

5.1 – I like CB Joshua Trunsky.

6.1 – FL Kim Luchey. The best receiver on the board.

7.1 – Hmmm… OC Derrick Dixon

Rookie Lookie #1 –

1.1 – QB BJ Vance, Southern Methodist, 33/88
2.1 – DT Jonah Joseph, Kansas State, 43/77
3.1 – WLB Edwardo Fuller, Oklahoma, 38/71
4.1 – OG Seth Ellard, Mississippi State, 28/60
5.1 – CB Joshua Trunsky, Georgia, 30/60
6.1 – WR Kim Luchey, Tennessee, 25/46
7.1 – OC Derrick Dixon, Virginia, 21/66


Dang Vance! We have a full O Line with my three FAs and an OG and OC from here. If Joseph won’t be another 2nd round D Line bust then he’ll be strong.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2029 NFL FA Period #2

I have 18 under contract right now.

Get ready for a ton of UFAs

Week 3 – We have signed all of our targets. We have 53 on our roster.
I sign a few more

Here are my Top 5 UFA Rookies by pot.

P Lincoln Ciurciu, 33/61
K Amos Sturch, 25/55
DE Sergio Page, 27/55
DE Wayne McIntyre, 22/55
MLB Rex Thompson, 14/55

There you are!

2029 NFL Training Camp


Rookie Lookie #2

1.1– QB BJ Vance, Southern Methodist, 33/88; 40/88
2.1 – DT Jonah Joseph, Kansas State, 43/77; 49/73
3.1 – WLB Edwardo Fuller, Oklahoma, 38/71; 47/74
4.1 – OG Seth Ellard, Mississippi State, 28/60; 32/61
5.1 – CB Joshua Trunsky, Georgia, 30/60; 37/62
6.1 – WR Kim Luchey, Tennessee, 25/46; 47/44
7.1 – OC Derrick Dixon, Virginia, 21/66; 27/64

UFAs

P Lincoln Ciurciu, 33/61; 35/43
K Amos Sturch, 25/55; 32/52
DE Sergio Page, 27/55; 31/54
DE Wayne McIntyre, 22/55; 27/56
MLB Rex Thompson, 14/55; 19/52

As you can see Vance looks solid. That’s my biggest fear. Is DT Joseph sliding down? Sad. Fuller is rising though and that’s sexy. CB Trunksy might be a grower, and Luchey might be a shrinker.

Any other booms in camp from my UFAs?

Nope!

I sign


P Maurice Manns, 37/55

I have 57 heading into the Off Season. I assign deactivations

[Abe Sargent]

The 2029 NFL Pre Season

Week 2 – Green Bay – We lose 27-30

Week 3 – At LA Rams – We lose 16-27

Week 4 – At Detroit – We lose 16-30.

Week 5 – Arizona – We lose 27-10

We go 0-4. I expect a record of 3 or fewer wins this year.

Rookie inspection –

How did my draft do?

Vance and Joseph are both on The Green Page. As is Trunsky at the bottom.

Vance is the best QB in the draft and the next is 57

After Luchey busted there are more than 20 players in front of him

Dixon is the 2nd best OC in the draft.

OG Ellard is the 5th best in the draft.

DT Joseph is the best DT and D Line overall in the draft

LB Fuller is the best LB in the draft

SS Sammie Shea is the 6th best S in the draft despite being a UFA

I’ll fast sim this year with only a quick note for each week. I won’t talk about injuries or anything else.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2029 Regular Season

Week 1 – At the Jets – How else could we start? We win 20-7! MVP is Jalen Frohbieter with a paid of returns for scores on special teams! Our first win!

Week 2 – At the Bucs – We lose 30-51.

Week 3 – At the Steelers – We lose 31-0.

Week 4 – Bills – We lose 9-12. Close.

Week 5 – At the Chargers – We lose 3-17

Week 6 – Broncos – We lose 24-17

Week 7 – Bye

Week 8 – Chiefs – Patrick Mahomes arrives. We win 20-17! Game MVP is DE Shaquille Fitzgerald with 2.5 sacks, 2 FF. Nasty. We had a pick 6. I’ll take it!

Week 9 – At the Raiders – We lose 17-33

We are 2-6 at the half with wins against the two heavy weights of our first half schedule. We are playing up right now.

[Abe Sargent]

Week 10 – At the Patriots – We lose 13-29

Week 11 – Jets – Can we sweep them? Nope! We lose 29-14.

Week 12 – Panthers – We lose 16-19

Week 13 – Jaguars – We lose 3-30

Week 14 – Falcons – We lose 28-31 in OT. Close!

Week 15 – At the Bills – We lose 13-345

Week 16 – At the Saints – We lose 14-30

Week 17 – Patriots - We lose 13-14

We finish 2-14 for the season. We have the league’s lowest standing so we’ll have the top pick in the draft next year. After Tony Rhem went down with an early injury the Jets were 5-11.

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB BJ Vance – 289 of 540, 2595, 9:14, 61.4 rating, 41 sacks

We need to get Vance some talent to surround him

Receiving

https://i.ibb.co/Kbc4zMS/Jets-50.png

Luchey led my team in catches, 2nd in yards, and tied for 1st in TDs. Frohbieter was with the most yards.


Rushing

RB Devin Wheeler – 220 for 625, 2.84 ypc, 4 scores
RB Norm Hawthorne – 69 for 269, 3.90 ypc, 1 score

Wheeler still isn’t doing well for me in the rushing numbers. Hopefully we can upgrade our RB.

Blocking

OG Zach Cunningham – 20 KRB out of 58 KRO, 7 sacks allowed
OT Harris Gaylor – 16 of 56, 13 sacks allowed
OC Derrick Dixon – 16 of 63, 5 sacks allowed
OT Jack Kurtz, 13 of 67, 10 sacks allowed
OG Seth Ellard, 11 of 53, 4 sacks allowed

A down year for my line, and I was hoping for more from Kurtz.

Special Teams

K Amos Sturch, 21 of 28, Long of 50, 19 of 20 PAS

Meh

P Maurice Manns, 134 punts, 45.9 avg, 43 in 20

Meh x2

KR Jalen Frohbieter – 2 KR Returns

Nice!

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.ibb.co/74GKcCB/Jets-51.png


Burkley led my team in tackles with 146 which also led the league by 26! Fuller was 2nd with solid number of tackles as well. As you can see this was not a great year for my pass rushing in terms of sacks, with Fitzgerald leading my team at 6. But we have a lot of Hurries and QB knockdowns.


Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/MpFN4yQ/Jets-52.png


In addition to a light sack year we are light in the picks. Our best is 3 by CB Godfrey. 11 pasdef by SLB Fuller led our team, and that’s pretty good as well as his two picks.

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year – OG Zach Cunningham – He led my team in KRB, has my best blocking %, had a pancake. Good job Cunningham!

Def. Player of the Year – MLB Jeremy Burkley – Dude wins All Pro…

[Abe Sargent]

We drafted at 1.1 in year two the studlist of studs at RB who broke some records in the NFL last year and won NFL Off. Player of the Year. In year three at 1.1 we drafted the studlists of WRs and he set the league leading yards last year in 2033 and we have a powerful trifecta

[Abe Sargent]

Last year 2033 was the first time that Vance actually played like he should, and was 2nd in yards, 5th in TDs, and 1st in rating. He won league MVP. He didn't even win super Bowl MVP in his win, that went to rookie 7th round boom of the century CB Hutcheson with a pick 6.

[Abe Sargent]

Other key things that happened in major ways

Every year after his rookie year DT Jonah Joseph has gotten an All pro

In his first year as a rookie, DE Rieke led my team in sacks. In his second year, he was my first player in the dynasty to net double digit sacks, and he won All Pro, the first to a DE in either place.

We rented SLB Burkley, FS Weber, SS Thomason, C Jackson, FS Liang, and TE Derr and P Petherick during the last few years from the Jets after their deals expired. They all started for me. I just cut Jackson for a top 1.32 stud at OC and let Weber go this past year in FA. Others resigned or left, save for Derr who is now my 3rd TE.

Derr got 998 yards in a season and won All Pro, his first!

[Abe Sargent]

We have had All Pros for

Lim, once,
Fones twice
Vance once
Derr once
Burkley once
OT Castaneda once
DT Joseph, FOUR in 5 years!!
DE Rieke, once

I have one League MVP, Vance last year
I have one Off. Player of the Year, RB Fones, last year

[Abe Sargent]

Now...

here's my main question...

Do I wanna continue this dynasty?

it feels like a gut punch losing all of the images, deep dives, FA wressling, cap wressling, drafts, rookies, failures, busts, one of my favorite booms as a UFa and loads more.

But I still wanted to play the Dolphins for a while longer, I;m just a few years in...

What do I do?

[Abe Sargent]

The 2034 NFL PreSeason

I hand out deactives to 11 to get me to 46.

Week 1 - We win 34-13 against Seattle

Week 2 - We win 20-17 over Missesota

Week 3 - BYE

Week 4 - We win 10-0 at Chicago

Week 5 - We lose 20-30 at Arizona

We go 3-1 in the offseason.

[Abe Sargent]

Rookie Lookie

1.31 - TE Wyatt Freeman, 49/76
2.31 – LB David Suzaka, 36/58
3.31 - OT Emmett Kufahl, 40/69
4.31 – DE Bryson Stuart, 36/45
5.31 – WR DeAndre Presley, 31/44
6.31 – Cb Jeremiah Harding, 35/55
7.31 – LB Shaun Donaldson, 22/45

Drops in a few places and a rise with Presley

UFAs of Note

OC Deion Horton, 25/59


I cut these players to get to 53

TE Gene Emmons
OG Damian McCain
SS J.J. Morton
CB Jamie Benton

[Abe Sargent]

Rookie Peering

I have the…

The best TE in the draft at 76, 13 better than next.

WR Bradford is 7th best

UFA C Horton is the 2nd best OC


After Kufahl boomed in camp he is the 2nd best OT

After he dropped in camp, LB Suzuka is now 7th best in the league at LB

Cb Harding is the 11th best CB

[Abe Sargent]

Wanna see my two best rookies?

TE Wyatt Freeman

https://i.ibb.co/k5CrPPD/Jets-53.png

He was a stud FB I moved to TE. He has solid blocking as well as good receiving numbers. Welcome to the team!

Next let’s look at OT Kufahl, my other good draft pick

https://i.ibb.co/p29WSvN/Jets-54.png

Here you go! This run blocking specialist (I’ve been drafting them to make Fones better) is pretty saucy. He’ll start for the underperforming Greene on my roster after two sad years.

Week 14- At the Lions – We win 33-10. Another game where Fones wasn’t at 100 rushing. Vance is MVP with 27 of 39, 378 and 2:0 Lim was 13 for 215 and 1. Collier the other score. Fones was 29 for 87. 2 picks by CB Brennan one a pick six. 1 pick by CB Wiley. FF by Ackerman recovered by CB Trunsky. 4 KRb b Limbert

C Horton is back from injury

Week 15 – Jets – We tie 17-17. Game MVP is Fones with 28 for 140. Vance was 23 of 38, 251 and 1:2. Lim was 6 for 105. Catch by Fulton. Pick by Palmer, 2 sacks by Rieke, 4 KRb by Castaneda, and Petrovic.

OG Petrovic is out for 26 games. I toss him on IR and start OG Ellard. I drafted Ellard mid draft In my first draft and started him for a while but drafted two hosses and kept him as my primary O Line backup at 55/55.

Week 16 – Packers – They are 10-4… Before this game, Vance is 1st in passing yards, Lim just 18 yards in front in 1st and Fones is so far in front it’s pretty much a given. Can our Triumvirate of Terror keep up? We win 23-3. MVP is Vance with 26 of 33, 313, 1:0. Lim was 13 for 178. Collier the score. Fones was31 for 125 and 2 scores. FF by Trunsky recovered by Hutcheson. 2 sacks by Rieke. 5 KRB by Limbert, 4 each by OG Ellard and my rookie OT Kufahl.

After talking about Ellard he doesn’t disappoint!

Week 17 – At the Bills – Uh oh. Can we finish strong and keep up our pressure? We win 27-21! Game MVP is DT Middleton with 2.5 sacks. Fones was 36 of 133, 1 score. Vance was with 22 of 26, 165 and 2:1. Hitting Lim and Freeman for score. Picks by Hutcheson, Palmer and Brennan. 6 KRB by Limbert.

We finish 14-1-1. We finish with the AFC’s top seed.

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Vance – 346 of 506, 4441, 33:7, 111.6 rating, 18 sacks

That is a dominant year for Vance! He had the most yards in the league, the best rating by far, and 2nd in TDs. Nasty!

Rushing – GET READY!!!!

RB Fones – 435 for 2062, 4.74 ypc, 15 scores.

Fones’s rushing scores are down from 22 last year, but his yards are up 300 and his ypc rose as well. Nasty! He broke 2000 yards. Good job.

Receiving

https://i.ibb.co/0pb7mRK/Jets-55.png

Lim’s 109 for 1540 is down 30 grabs and 240 yards from last year but still leads the league. 10 scores! But Fones? His 73 for 664 gave him a ton of yard per scrimmage at around 2700. Nasty!!! He is the weaponiest weapon. Freeman had a solid rookie year as well.

Blocking

OG Limbert – 48 KRB out of 126 KRO, 7 pancakes, 5 sacks allowed
OG Petrovic – 14 starts, 28 of 76, 3 pan, 0 sacks allowed
OT Castaneda – 28 of 60, 2 pan, 4 sacks allowed
OT Kufahl – 27 of 74, 2 and 3
OC Horton, 8 starts, 16 of 43, 1 sack allowed

Good year for my Line!

Special Teams -


K Zill – 34 of 44, 53 of 55

Down year for FGs.

P O’Neal – 83 punts, 44.3 avg, 28 in 20

Not good avgs or % in 20

KR Ackerman – 1 KR RET TD

Not bad!

[Abe Sargent]

Defense

https://i.ibb.co/S0bHYXb/Jets-56.png

Let’s take a look! We had a lot of injuries but Shaw played well and led with tackles. Rieke led my team with a nasty 13.5 sacks. The most? 14.5. Good! That’s a good year for him! His 48 QBKnockowns were 5 more than anyone else in the league. Joseph 8.5 sacks were second and as you can see they devastated teams. Lots of players had a few sacks and our numbers were up across the board.

Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/zQfYTM1/Jets-57.png


Hutcheon notched 6 picks and 1 INT Ret and 13 pas def, all of which led my team. Palmer was a solid S as well with 5 picks.

Good stuff!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2035 NFL Offseason

Retirements

My team?

TE Josiah Derr – Good job! You’ve been on the Jets/Dolphins your whole career. Good luck!

Other Abe’s Boys

DE Norm Stevenson – Remember him? He started years for me.
CB Ben Anderson – I drafted him in the 1st round and he played his whole career for the Jets

Staff Draft

I draft 9th

No one poaches my staff this year.

Here are my players up and eligible for a tag

I tagged MLB Shaw last year but didn’t want to commit financially.

Shaw – could do again

DE Easy Mac Woods
RB Trevor Diaz

That’s it. Only Shaw is eligible

With possible long term drops to my other two starters that I had signed I may wanna make an offer to Shaw. If I franchise him again he won’t like it and he’ll refuse to sign a longer deal. I drafted Hillman last year to spell Shaw after he left his tag.

Right now my cap is 26 open for new players

Who do I have coming off their deal this year. I won’t include future RFAs

QB Groff
SS Shea – starter
CB Brennen
CB Wiley
FL Marshall Collier
SE Franklin, who dropped a step to 45/45 from 52/52
RT Greene
DT Middleton
lB Kaschike
CB Trunsky
CB Hutcheson
WLB Ragonesi
OG Petrovic
DE Ford

That’s a lot of talent!

Here’s what I need:

Backup – RB, TE, DE (See Below), LB, QB
Starter – S for Shea, Maybe DE (Or DT), Maybe Cb for either Hutcheson or Trunsky.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2035 NFL FA Period #1 – Part One

I head to the draft to see what I can find. Can I find a S or DE at the top spot? I interview D Line and D Backs.

I sign my RFAs we have 49 players and 19 mill in cap space.

Let’s hit up my starters I may wanna extend beginning with Hutcheson.

What does my 7th round pick wonder want? 109 over 5 mill. Nope! I can try and franchise him next year.

What about Trunsky? 33 mill over three years and his cap hit this year drops 8 mill.Good!

WLB Ragonesi? 30 mill over three years. Not bad. But I wanna see him post camp as I may have drafted a replacement as I get quality at LB easily. And if he drops in ability I can get a cheap price

Petrovic? 34 mill over 3 years. Doable. I hold on for now as I want to keep my cap for the OG that ha been outplaying him

I can extend Preston Fones by two years and drop his cap hit this year from 25 to 20 which I may wanna do I’ll keep it in my mind. That would sign him until his 31 year, and he’s 27 right now.

Collier wants 45 mill for 4 years and that’s a rougher hit than I want for my 2nd WR that’s never really played that well.

DT Middleton wants 38 for 5 years. Not too bad for a 55/55 DT I’ve been starting, but I’ll want until post draft in case I draft his replacement.



I extend…

CB Brennan
DE Ford
LB Kasaichke

That leaves me with 21 for new players

I head to week 2

Shaw wants 79 mill over 4 years. Not happening. Good luck!

Do I want to make an offer for Kirk Barber for 10 mill? No thanks! He’s just 52/52

Marco Garcia is available and wants 17 mill over 2 years and…Norton is still out there and wants 7.5 mill for one year. No thanks!

[Abe Sargent]

Part Two

One place to find some cap room is SLB Fuller, one of the best LBs in the league and being paid like it, but he has no All Pros to anything else. If I am going to pay someone like they are playing at an All Pro level then they need to be playing at an All Pro level. Right now he is coming in at 22 mil, and he dropped after his long term injury from 83/83 to 75/75. So I’ll be looking for a possible replacement in the draft as I often am gifted LBs later in the draft in rounds 3-6. I still want to emerge with a D Line or D Back in my first two picks if the talent lines up.

Here are my updated needs given the costs of new budgets attached…

Here’s what I need, updated:

Backup – RB, TE, DE (See Below), LB, QB
Starter – S for Shea, Maybe DE (Or DT), Maybe Cb for Hutcheson, Maybe OG for Petrovic, Maybe LB for Fuller, Maybe a WR for Collier

Alright let’s advance in FA!

Week 3 – Shaw signs with Dallas

Week 4 – Easy Mac Woods signs with SF

Week 7 – RB Diaz signs with LV

[Abe Sargent]

The 2035 NFL Draft

Drafting at the top spot is…
Carolina! Which is weird as they won the the 2033 Super Bowl…over us!

Did they trade for it? Yup! From the Chargers.

They grab RB Russell Morrison

I’ll see you in 30!

Welcome to the 1.31 pick.

Who is on my draft list?

DT Bradley Heinz is the BAP. – Very Underrated. Poor bars
ILB Isaac Horn – Next BAP. Okay bars
DE Ernie Ackerman – 3rs best BAP, Hard to Read, run stopping specialist, middle of the road for rushing
DE Kerry Zukauskas – Overrated, better rush bars, 4th best BAP
SLB Isaac Blackburn – 5th best BAP, great bars
CB Corbin Chapin, 6th best BAP, Okay bars save for picks and punishing hitter.
Cb Lester Almanza - More even bars, no play D, hitter, or picks either
Wr Freddie Devine – The best WR on the board.

So who do I like here? Let’s me show you Heinz…

https://i.ibb.co/305jDtc/Jets-58.png

Here he is. His run stopping and strength are good but his pass rush technique isn’t. He is unlikely to be a sackmaster. His play D and hitter also aren’t great either. But…he is very underrated and maybe he’ll wind up as a grower… Do you grab him at the 1.31 spot? He’d replace Middleton a 55/55 DT.

But…

Do I wanna replace 55/55 S Shea instead?

https://i.ibb.co/YbXp9jh/Jets-59.png

Here’s Chapin. Now all of the CBs I interviewed are off the board, but he’s much better bars. Do I grab him and move him to S?

They both replace a poor starter on my defense, which is pretty key. Which one do you grab?

Or do I go with someone completely different? Like WR Devine or DE Ernie Ackerman? Or Blackburn? Hmmmm…. WR or DE? DE or WR? Let’s do WR as I doubt I am keeping Collier. I grab WR Devine, the 2nd Wr off the board. He’s not amazing, but he should be okay.


See you in 32!

The 2.31 pick arrives. Now what?

I need a good PR after Frohbieter and there is the top RB on the board who is good at it named Marco Vankirk. Let’s grab him! (Ackerman is my KR)


3.31?

Let’s take the top DE on the board, Vernon Walters.

4.31?

Let’s grab the top OG Lenny Cote here, okay? Okay!


5.31? Let’s grab a LB here. How about a guy with bars but wasn’t invited to the combine - Micah Whiting.


6.31 – How about QB Shawn Hilliard? Or CB Neil Whited? I do Whited.


7.31 – TE Javier Evanswhite


Rookie Lookie #1

1.31 – WR Freddie Devine, Texas A&M, 40/59
2.31 – RB Marco VanKirk, Maryland, 41/45
3.31 – DE Vernon Walters, Cal, 24/54
4.31 – OG Lenny Cote, Clemson, 24/47
5.31 – WLB Micah Whiting, Missouri, 21/59
6.31 – CB Neil Whited, Duke, 21/51
7.31 - TE Javier Evenswhite, Virginia, 21/47

Many of these are hopefully growers with solid reds, but we’ll see. This could be a pretty weak draft for me, but we’ll see.

[Abe Sargent]

NFL FA Period #2

Alright, now that my draft is done, what am I doing?

I cut SLB Fuller. I’ll run with Tuupo, Hartman and Ragonesi.

I cut 45/45 WR Heath Franklin


Now lets grab some rookie UFAs first

I make offers to…

RCB Ashton Babbitt
SS Dexter Carpenter
Four Qbs


I extend OG Petrovic for 33 mill over 3 years

Week 1 – Fuller signs with Carolina

Week 3 – All of my targets have signed. Let’s head to camp and see what rookies shine before making more roster decisions

Any major UFAs?

None with a 50 or higher pot.

[Abe Sargent]

2035 NFL Training Camp

Rookie Lookie #2

1.31 – WR Freddie Devine, Texas A&M, 40/59; 43/58
2.31 – RB Marco VanKirk, Maryland, 41/45; 43/48
3.31 – DE Vernon Walters, Cal, 24/54; 38/55
4.31 – OG Lenny Cote, Clemson, 24/47; 29/48
5.31 – WLB Micah Whiting, Missouri, 21/59; 28/57
6.31 – CB Neil Whited, Duke, 21/51; 42/50
7.31 - TE Javier Evenswhite, Virginia, 21/47; 24/47

Meh

I cut QB Caden Groff.

I make a 78 mill 5 years offer to CB Hutcheson and he signs


Ragonesi, 50 over 4 years is rough to for 60s LB. I am not making him an offer as of this time.

My goal this year is to run these players in the secondary

Staring CB – Hutcheson and Trunsky
Starting at S – Baker and Ackerman
Nickelback – Shea
Dimeback – Brennan

So I’ll let Shea go next year…

Middleton? I sign an extension. Four years, 22 mill. Roughly 5 mill/year. I can cut him if I bring in someone better.

I head to Pre-Season

[Abe Sargent]

Are there any players coming up with 2 years left I might wanna extend now?

I have 31 mill in cap space. Who is coming up with 2 years that’s a key starter for me:

QB Vance
RB Fones
S Palmer
C Horton
DT Joseph
DE Rieke


That’s a lot of core players.

Extending them now will typically be cheaper overall but more expensive this year.

What do they want?


QB Vance -199, 5 years – he’s on a 150 mill 5 years right now
RB Fones – 86, 4 years
S Palmer – 48 mill, 4 years, which is an extension of two
C Horton – 62 mill, 5 years
DT Joseph – 91 mill, 4 years
DE Rieke – 58 mill, 4 years

Hmmmm… Do I wanna sign any? Horton is the 4th best OC in the league but I wanna get him better in the KRB #s before I extend him. But Palmer has played well, so I extend him now.

I’m good for the rest.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2035 NFL Preseason

I hand out many deactives

Week 2 – Panthers – We lose 13-14

Week 3 – At DC – We win 31-14

Week 4 – At the Bucs – We lose 22-27

Week 5 – Cowboys – We win 30-6

We got 2-2

Rookie Lookie #3

Come on, daddy needs a strike!

1.31 – WR Freddie Devine, Texas A&M, 40/59; 43/58; 45/63
2.31 – RB Marco VanKirk, Maryland, 41/45; 43/48; 32/34
3.31 – DE Vernon Walters, Cal, 24/54; 38/55; 39/53
4.31 – OG Lenny Cote, Clemson, 24/47; 29/48; 31/54
5.31 – WLB Micah Whiting, Missouri, 21/59; 28/57; 29/57
6.31 – CB Neil Whited, Duke, 21/51; 42/50; 43/56
7.31 - TE Javier Evenswhite, Virginia, 21/47; 24/47; 25/53

We had a few booms, we had a few busts. Ah well. Any UFAs boom? Nope! Marco’s PR also dropped to just 56/59



I cut these players –

Three Qbs
SS Dexter Carpenter
CB Vinny Collier
Cb Ashton Babbitt

I am at 53!

[Abe Sargent]

Wanna see my top rookie?

https://i.ibb.co/C9nXVQJ/jets-60.png

Here is Freddie Devine! As you can see he’s really good at big plays and 3rd downs. He’s in the 40s,50s, and 60s everywhere else with no major weaknesses.

Where did the others I was thinking about at 1.31 wind up?

DT Heinz – 46/58 – not bad
CB Chapin – 25/32- Yuck!
DE Ackerman – He’s not even on the page! Wow!
SLB Blackburn – 36/55

Well Heinz was….okay…at the 1.31 spot and Devine was also okay as well, but we may have dodged a bullet there!

[Abe Sargent]

Rookie Investigation

At OG, Cote is 7th best

At WR Devine is 2nd best after booming in preseason. The best is 48/75 and was taken 1.16

At CB Neil Whited finished 6th. Not bad for a 6th rounder!

LB Whiting is 9th best among all LBs

Vernon is 11th best among all d line and 5th at DE

Fones has dropped to 64/64, common for a back in his later 20s. We’ll still ride that pony. I swapped my starting LB from Luupo to Suzaka.

Stats

Offensive

Passing

QB Vance – 386 of 579, 4576, 31:8, 102.6 rating, 27 sacks

He led the league in passing yards and rating. Good job!

Rushing

RB Fones – 391 for 1727, 4.42 ypc,14 scores

Good year by the lad! He led all RBs by 211 yards. Good job!

Receiving

https://i.ibb.co/M76s3jv/Jets-61.png

As you can see, Lim had a solid year with 115 grabs and 1415 yards. He was 2nd in yards in the NFL. In his last year with us Collier almost grabbed 1000 yards for the 1st time in his career. Freeman had a better year than last. Fones was 4th in my rec with 58 of 506 which puts him over 2200 yards from scrimmage. Nasty. Rookie Devine was quiet with little as my 3rd option at the receiving lane.

Blocking

OG Limbert - 41 KRB of 102 KRO, 11 pancakes,4 sacks allowed
OG Petrovic – 34 of 95, 3 and 7 sacks
OT Kuhfahl – 26 of 79, 2 an 8 sacks
OT Castaneda – 22 of 61, 5 sacks
OC Horton – 9 starts, 22 of 60, 2 pancake and 1 sack

Limbert had another All Pro season. Awesome! Dude gets those blocks! Another year where Horton was out for around half. It’s hard to measure him when that happens.

Special Teams

K Zill – 33 of 40, Long of 51, 46 of 52 PAT

I need to start looking for anew K

P O’Neal – 87 punts, 42.4 avg, 39 in 20

That’s a nasty % in the 20 and the 2nd best in the league. I do not need another P

CB Ackerman, 1 KR RET TD

Good job Ackerman!

[Abe Sargent]

Defensive

https://i.ibb.co/9wmjqYq/Jets-62.png

Here you go! Ragonesi led my team in tackles and Hartman was second. Rieke’s 18 sacks were 1st in the league by five. Nasty! DT Joseph’s sacks were the most for a DT, and were tied for 5th most in the league. and were 2nd on my team at 9.5. Both devasted the opposing QB. Rieke led my team in FF at 6, which also led the league.

Pass Coverage

https://i.ibb.co/DCM9F0c/Jets-63.png

This was a very down year for picks. No one had more than 2. Hutcheson’s 21 pasdef led the league and my team as well. Ragonesi was solid with pasdef and picks and played well here.

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year - WR Branden Lim – Dude wins an All Pro… dude wins team award! We had 5 O players with awards and I’ve never given this to Lim. So let’s toss him this!

Def. Player of the Year – DE Kirk Rieke – Dude wins my first Def. Player of the Year for Dolphins, dude wins this award!

Special Teams Player of the Year – P Edwin O’Neal – Really dropped a ton of punts into that 20, almost half! Good job Punter!

Rookie of the Year – WR Eddie Devine – He got this sort of by default as my only rookie to see play.

Heart Award – LB Tuupo – Another shout out to my backup LB who just steps up when needed!

[Abe Sargent]

I end the season. We score an 80

The 2036 NFL Offseason

Retirements

OG Seth Ellard has retired. Sad.

Other Abe’s Boys

WR Kirk Barber – Our first star WR at the Jets and never played up to his level as the best WR in the league, unlike Lim which is the 2nd best.

DE Sawyer Hill – We drafted him over at the Jets and he played his entire career there.

SLB Bruce Norton – Our stud SLB for the Jets with three All Pros while I was there.

Other Major Retirements

QB Josh Allen – won 4 Super Bowls. That may help us out a lot.



Staff Draft

I hand out raises to Brian Shottenheimer

We draft 10th

No changes to my staff

[Abe Sargent]

Players free and not RFAs – WLB Ragonesi, OT Greene, S Shea, WR Collier.

Do I wanna franchise any of them? I have too many big names I have to keep and just 12 mill in cap space after reserving 11 for my rookies

Nope!

Who is coming free at the end of their deal next year that I may need to move on from?

QB Vance
RB Fones
RB Mahoney
WR Bradford
C Norton
P O’Neal
DE Rieke
DE Ford
DT Joseph
DT Lazetti
LB Tuupo
LB Kasischke
CB Brennan
FS Curtis
LS Glen

After signing my RFAs, here is what I’ll need…

Backup – Better QB than Noah Howe, WR – maybe one who can be my PR, OG, OT, LB – See below, 2 CB/S
Starter – Maybe K for Zill, Stud DE/DT, Maybe a stud or starter quality LB

Alright, let’s head to FA!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2036 NFL FA Period #1

Part One

We are picking 1.30 so I review the draft. I am looking to target a great DE or DT or a great LB at the end of the 1st who can help push me forward. For example, take DT. Joseph is in his 8th year and is 29 years old. He won’t be my guy forever. Drafting a guy who can start across from him for a few years and then get my money is what I’d love to do. So my preference is a stud DT although I’d do a DE. I need a deep draft for that though.

I interview the top K, the top 5 Dts and some LBs and Des

I sign my RFAs - I have 47 on my roster.

I have 8 mill left.

I extend Fones – 80 mill, 4 years. This drops my cap this year by 8 mill

Vance wants 204 over 5 mill, and I agree. This frees up a few million

RB Mahoney wants 10 mill for three years, which seems reasonable for my 59/59 backup. I hold off

P O’Neal is 16 mill over 4 years and frees up a 1mill done. I also give a 3 year deal to LS Glen.

DE Rieke wants 61 mill over 4 years. Done. That frees up 3 mill

DT Joseph wants 94 mill over 4 years. Yuck. That would increase his cap hit this year by 4 mill. I’ll hold off for now.

OC Horton wants 46 for three years. Which is an increase of 10 mill this year. That’s not that bad for the 4th best C in the league, but I may wanna franchise him next year given his injury proneness. As of right now I have 25 free for new deals so I could extend Horton and Joseph and have 11 left.

What else?

I extend LB Tuupo as he has played well. This is an increase of 500k this year and costs 3 mill a year for 3 years.

DE Ford wants 40 mill over 5 years. That’s unlikely as he is a run blocking specialist and weaker at the sacks. As you can see, in four years I’ve had 10 sacks from him with two years of starts and single team blocking likely due to Joseph and Rieke in the line. I’ll let Ford leave.

I extend WR Bradford for a year as he only wants 5 mill for 2 years and his cap hit right now is 2.6 so that’s minor.

I extend Mahoney while I’m thinking about it, as he is good insurance against Fones breaking.

I extend CB Brannen by a year.

Any 2 year players I may wanna extend? Not right now – maybe post-draft

End of Part One
