I know this has been touched upon, but its really starting to piss me off, so I'll post some more bout it in hopes of a patch *cough cough EA*.
The start of my 3rd year in Denver. WR T. Mcgriff's contract is over. He's not very good (24 in catch, 34 in yards per catch, 32 in catch frequency, and 28 in 3rd down catching), but I wouldn't mind keeping him around to help out now and then. His stats are even worse (21 catches-none last year, 244 yards, 3 TD's). So whats he want? Two year deal, 1.5 million bonus, 4 million for the first year, and 5 million for the second. Excuss me? How can a player who never plays and isn't that good go from 5-600 thousand range to those figures? Happens with all my players, so every year I have to let a ton of em go (after trying forever to redo their contracts) and then go out a sign a bunch of new players. I don't even know why there is a league minuim salary, no one will ever take anything close to that low. Patch this sucker, damn EA.
To add to my frustration, WR Rod Smith (59 in catching, 45 in yards per catch, 92 catch frequency, and 64 in 3rd down catching) is a 3 year starter and fan favorite has 264 catches for 3083 yards with 19 TD's wants a new two year contract with a 2.3 million signing bonus-2 million for the first year and 2.1 million for the second. Hmmm whats wrong with this picture.
