Note to self

[Senator]

When signing free agents, make sure they do not have blown out ACL's.

You know it warns you now...

Thank you, Jim, for that warning when signing players - at one point with FOF4 I had signed no less than THREE players out with long-term injuries because I didn't check why he was available in the first place.

[Senator]

I actually didn't see that mckerney. Must have zoomed right by it.

[mckerney]

I actually did just sign a guy who's gonna be out a whole year, though at a two year deal where it doesn't hurt to keep him plus he could be a bargain starter if he's alright sitting out a year.

Plus I was right on a hunch he'd be a mentor to LB, which I spent my first round pick on.

Joey Galloway spends his last three years hurt eating up my salary cap. He heals from his injuries 2 weeks before the season ends and his contract ends, and has back to back 3 TD games. I will not fall for this trap!!!

I signed a TE out with an ACL (he had been injured in week 6, but still hadexcellent ratings). He rides the bench until week 12. He then gets into the starting lieup for 4 weeks and blows out his ACL. The next season I place him on IR from the start determined not to let him come back to early again (I macromanage and the AI made him start - the AI did it I tell you:)). Finally come the beginning of 3rd and last season of his contract, his ratings are crap and he remains the 3rd TE.

What is his deal, amdaily, 2 blown ACLs and he can't get the job done anymore??? WEAK!!! ;)

[Fritz]

senator,

I am prone to fast double click as well. ah well

[tucker342]

ahhhh, the process of not paying attention when you sign a free agent:D

I'll probably be doing the same thing when I finally pick up the game

That's a mistake I would make!

I made the same mistake.

The one that REALLY hurt was a WR I signed. I backloaded the contract pretty good because I was up against the cap. I thought I could make a one year run and then retool. He starts out the year with a 10 catch 154 yard performence. I win 34-3. The following game I lose him AND my QB for nearly 2 years.

End up going 3-13, blow the draft pick and end up with a very angry owner.

Can you elaborate?
