Village Challenge II
Season 2039
For 2038 :
Team Performance : 100/100
Franchise Value : 100/100
Profit Loss : 100/100
Difficulty : 74/100
YEAR END SCORE : 98
No players were inducted in the Hall of Fame this year. I guess this is a first.
After Kurt Wiese being inducted last year, hopefully the next Brown to enter the Hall will be
Ben Vanderclute next year. (i'm rooting for him since I drafted him and he had a sensational career with us - 5 time All-League Guard -)
Talking about the Hall of Fame, what about former WR Robbie Jeffries (who still holds the club's records in receiving yards and TD catches) ?
Robbie didn't not make the Cleveland Browns Hall of Fame...that's too bad.
Lee Clark neither but this is more understandable.
WR Stanley Lewinsky, after 9 seasons in the NFL, is now closing the gap on Robbie Jeffries for the club's Receiving TD record. Stanley only needs 5 more TDs to pass Robbie on the list...
That could be achieved as early as this year.
Only one player retired during the offseason, CB Edwin Dulaney !!!
This guy was drafted last year by Subby, in 2038, played one season and then decides to retire...
He was a 2nd rounder out of Georgia. Crazy story.
Therefore we currently have 40 players under contract for next season with only one starter being a FA (center Burt Carlson).
We -of couse http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif - keep the same Coaching and Scouting staff.
Center Burt Carlson gets franchised ; he has been a starter for us for the past 5 years and he's in his prime : one reason why Sammie has been so successful over these years...No way we lose him so I give him the Franchise tag.
At the start of Free Agency, we stand $71,010,000 under the cap.
We trade 10 year Vet starting FB Richard Hartman to the San Diego Chargers for their 2nd pick in the draft.
We already have young FB (3 year vet) Brett Wiggins almost at full capacity. He gives us youth and he's now an upgrade to Hartman. Wiggins was unhappy not to play but he should have his smile back now that he's assured of being the team's starter this upcoming season.
We needed some help at CB so I go back to a player I loved since I drafted him 11 years ago...
Troy Goldhammer (remember the name ? http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif )
Drafted by myself in 2029 out of Oklahoma (13th overall pick). He spent his first two seasons with us (not starting a game since he was too raw at the time) then got traded to the Steelers where he started foe them for 3 years before going to Saint Louis and being their starting CB for the next 5 years...
Troy is now a complete CB, I remember loving his outstanding overall capacities at the time I drafted him...
two years ago, in 2037, he was nammed All-League 2nd-team CB.
I traded with the Rams to have him back in a Browns uniform, having to let go a 1st rounder next year plus backup CB Clarence Sheffer.
here are his ratings now : 71-90-96-72-92-64.
I believe he still has a few more years ahead of him and he should help our secondary a lot.
Plus with a salary of ONLY $2,730,000 for this year he is really a can't miss bargain.
Welcome back home Troy Goldhammer !
Before going into the draft, I cut 3 useless RBs that we had on the roster...Which leaves us for now with superstar Derek Ainsworth, valuable backup Jumbo Gable and 3rd stringer Mack Devine.
Draft report :
Rnd 1 (6th) - Roy Buckner, DT, Washington State (57/100 50/90 91) current 54 future 100
Rnd 1 (8th) - Kent Gietzen, G, Virginia (24/86 36/88 100) current 38 future 100
Rnd 2 - Jay Cherry, FB, Ohio State (current 37 future 57)
Rnd 5 - Allen Price, CB, Texas (current 44 future 76)
Rnd 7 - Kendrick Camilleri, QB, Michigan State (current 21 future 50)
That is a very good draft for us I believe.
with Roy Buckner we have the player we wanted and desperately needed as we only had one valuable DT on the roster prior to the draft (Lorenzo Wilkerson).
G Kent Gietzen is also a great prospect as we needed depth at the position (we only had 3 Guards) and he, also, has outstanding potential ; With Bensen and Germaine being in their 12th and 9th years Gietzen is clearly the future.
Second round FB Jay Cherry is not exceptional at all but he is a capable backup to new starter Brett Wiggins. We needed a backup FB badly and he's the answer.
5th rounder Allen Price will provide depth to the Cornerback position (we only had 3 good players before), he is a great kick returner as well.
7th round QB Kendrick Camilleri is really a nice pickup. He is Mr Irrelevant.
He will give us an upgrade as the 3rd QB on the roster, we will then be able to release current 3rd stringer Herb Miller who simply has no future in this league.
Camilleri should be a career backup...but a real good one.
his future ratings : 42-67-39-43-80-43-40-45-66-81
not bad for a 7th round guy, 252nd & very last pick of the draft !
All draftees will be signed.
Trade Offers :
The Bengals are interested in Kelvin Ward and the Bears in Lorenzo Wilkerson.
both offers are rejected.
We then renegociate a bunch of contracts of high paid players who could eventually become FAs as early as next year (like CB Steven Blair who is currently the 2nd highest paid player on the team after Sammie with almost a $17M cap figure for this year).
We do contract extensions (and get some cap relief) with superstars such as :
QB Sammie McNight (now signed until 2042)
RB Derek Ainsworth (2042)
WR Stanley Lewinsky (2041)
As for now we have 49 players signed with $40,890,000 under the cap.
We receive 4 trade offers after training camp for Lorenzo Wilkerson, Jerry Bensen, Kelvin Ward and Gene Woodson but all are rejected.
The Browns sell all 99,900 season tickets for the season once again http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif
A look at the FA pool after training camp brings us good things, we sign to provide depth :
G Joe Burke, 4 year vet
CB Craig Magazine, 3 year vet (love his name lol)
WR Dwayne Weber, 5 year vet
DE Winfred Marsh, 4 year vet
...and bargain of the offseason :
WR J.J Anthony (rookie first rounder 35th overall pick that didn't sign with his team !)
We now have our 53 man roster completed with $25,700,000 left under the cap. we're in good shape obviously.
The Browns are "worth" $2,727,210,000 (1st NFL)
Stadium (65) 9th
Roster (100) 1st
Support (99) 1st
Economy (48) 19th
Pre-season :
Injury Report:
Byron Armour, WR - Hyperextended Elbow, full strength in 0-2 Weeks
Steven Blair, CB - Hyperextended Elbow, full strength in 3-5 Weeks
Jeffrey Maugh, CB - Sprained Neck, full strength in 3-5 Weeks
Two of our top 3 Corners our in a bad shape early in the season.
thank God we have Goldhammer back with us.
We go 1-3 in the pre-season winning our only game when the starters were in.
With the backups and Parrish as QB (games 2, 3, 4) we lost.
Anyway it's only pre-season and i'm not worried a all. This team has proven since McNight is its QB that they were absolute winners and I believe that as long as he is around we will be contenders (not to say Champions).
sorry to say that ( http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif lol) but this situation reminds me of the 49ers when as long as they has Montana or Young at QB, no mattered what the rest of the roster was, we knew the 49ers would be in for title contention...
Also, before starting the regular season, i'd like to show you the worst QB sheet i've ever seen in a long time :
In his first appearance in the NFL, rookie QB Camilleri did this :
13/29 for 83yards 0 TD 6 INTs ! (Vs Cardinals in W2)
:- .
He settled in the games afterwards and i'm sure he'll be fine but that one first game was as bad as it gets.
Roster Cohesion :
passing (90)
Off Line (75)
Deff front (86)
secondary (52)
Regular season to come...
