So after an entire offseason of major acquisitions, targeting the best players in FA, and more, where are we?

Nowhere.

Notice the drop by OT Bubba Keith to 39, the drop by WR King to 63, my P dropped to 49 and there was still no better option from the two UFAs that looked pretty sexy. My new K is barely better than my old one. DE Cesar Lane, who looked like this great mid draft pick to push my D Line better than Amos might too fell hard. My new signee Tubbs dropped from 65 to 55. My 1st rounder I needed to nail and change this thing around already fell,. As did Kaplan. My S starters are horrible in the 47 and 45 territory. I got better a bit in LB, I brought in CB Henderson who’s still just 52/52, but was better than any other options I had, my new RB held serve at 60, so that was nice, and, um....that;s it. Not one single UFA boom.

Despite my weak, weak, roster, I only have 8 first year players making the final cut.

That’s not a positive off season.

We have the 6th lowest power rating in the league. We are in the 10th or lower resister strength for these positions – Ogs, OTs, (13th worst for QB), (12th worst P), OLB, S, and CB. We have the worst starting tandem at S and OLB, and 3rd worst Cb, and even our ILBs are just 14th worst.

Anyone with a 1 year deal I want to extend? I spend 30 mill to extend FL Thomas Hatcher, one of our starters, and one of the only talented young players we got.

Did you notice that Ben Swift rose a little? I cut Ramon Graham and sign a UFA mentor for QBs. Maybe Swift will prove he wasn;t a bust after all?

Y’all ready for this?

[Abe Sargent]

Normally I’ slow roll my season. Take my time, give you all of the details. But I don’t think this’ll be a good season at all. So I fast sim it.

Huh. That feels cheating. We finished 9-7, made the playoffs as the winner of our division, lost in the 1st round badly, had All Pros for RB Branch and OG Bodell. That doesn’t feel right. I check it out and saw that the leading QBs for my two in-division foes that are good both went down early with injury for the season, whereas we were healthy the entire time. So I try again.

Without the best case scenario stuff going off, we finish 4-12, a full two game behind last year’s mark.

No major long term injuries.

Atlanta beats the Broncos 37-13.

All Pro 1st team for OT Torres, 2nd tea, for DE Cobb and OG Laird.

We finish with the 5th lowest power rating


QB Guymon 272 of 457, 2937 yards, 12:10, 78.1 rating, spelling him, QB Swift was 49 of 79, 498, 5:2 and 90.5.

RB Branch was 236 for 1111, 4.71 ypc. 9 rush scores, He was banged up with just 11 starts. RB Johnstone was 128 for 563, 7 scores, and 4.40 ypc. Branch still was 7th most rush yards in league, and tied for 3rd most rush scores.

WR Frederick was 78, 793, and 3 scores, King was 43, 542 and 2, and WR Hatcher 37 for 528, and 3. TE Gretsky was 39, 414, and 4.

I want to try Swift next year full time, unless I have a better option that falls on my lap.

RB Lenny Watson had a PR RET TD, and K Carroll was 29 of 32 and 33 of 34 PAT while P Matlock had 91 punts, 45.2 avg, and 34 in 20.

ON pass coverage, CB Henderson led with 4 picks, then Sanderson with 3, Tubs and Crawford each with 2, and then 1 each for CB Browning, S Barker, Sanford, CB Greshem and DE Cobb and DE Amos. Crawford and Browing returned a pick for score. Most pasdef was Grayson with 7 , then 5 each for Crawfod, Browning and LB Rivera and LB Coles, then 4 for Henderson, and 3 for Sanderson, Tubbs and Barker.

On Defense? Cobb with 9.5 scks, 8.5 for DE Benton, and LB Crawford with 7 sacks, Sanderson 3, and DT Serne a low 2 sacks. The 25 hurries DE Cobb had led the league, while his 8 blocked passes tied for the league lead. Tubbs had 126 solo and 33 assist tackles, SS Barker had 94 and 32.

Blocking? OT Torres had 43 KRB, and 8 pancakes but 8 sacks allowed. C Manning was 37 KRB and 4 pan, and 11 sacks, while OG Laird was 35 and 0 and 4 and OG Bodell was 32, 4 and 7, and OT Keith 6, 0 and 4.

Sanderson led my team with 3 FF, and 2 each for CB Browning, LB Rivera and Tobbs, and DE Benton.

Alright, so there we are.

I’ll give abbreviated versions of my normal awards:

Offensive Player of the Year: OT Torres

Def PotY: DE Cobb

Special Teams POTY: K Carroll

Rookie OTY: LB Crawford – 10th most sacks in league at the LB position as a rookie.

Heart Award – LB Ken Rivera, backup with a lot of good results

We finish 4-12

Ready for next year?

[Abe Sargent]

Ready for next year?

2 Performance
61 Value
65 Profit
15 Roster

42 score


Just one HOFers – Richard Sherman

Retirements of note –

We have two LB Leonard Floyd and SS Keegan Barker

Cleveland had CB Cooper Schmidke and TE Hardy Downs retire

Others of note?

QB Paxton Lynch

SE Will Fuller, with 10504 yards, 73 scores; 2 All Pros

OG Tunsil, finishes with 362 KRm 43 pancakes, just 65 sacks allowed in a 13 year career, All Pro 4x.

CB Hunter Craven, 11 years in league, 43 pick, 129 pas def, Defensive Player of the year once in 2021, 4 All Pros

We have:

The 11th worst stadium
3rd worst roster
9th worst support
11th best economy
7th lowest franchise value

We made 34 mill last year

Just 84.9% attendance, which was 9th worst in the league.

I give a raise to my DC

Staff Draft!

We pick 23rd.

I hire a better Head Coach, Vinny Mullis, with almost maxed motivation and discipline and a 74 suitability, 3 more than my current HC

OC? I keep Steve Smith. I keep my DC too, who is so much better than the rest. I hire AC Alfred Lindquist, a little better guy. But my biggest upgrade fo the day is SC and my new guy is 14 higher suitability and a much better set of stats.

Pre-FA, do I need to make any changes?

We have 38 under contract. None of them are worth a franchise tag

Enter FA!

[Abe Sargent]

We have the #2 pick, and then alternative back and forth with Arizona 1 and 2 each round....but... we traded our 2nd rounder to San Diego, our 3rd to Cleveland and our 7th to Dallas.

So we just have four picks this round at 1.2, 4.1, 5.2, and 6.1. This was not a good year to trade those 2 and 3s. Do I want to target the 1.2 for a high quality player? Or would trading down and picking up some more picks make more sense? We are not 1 top flight 1.2 player away from competing, right?

FA Time –

I sign these RFAs – MLB Lujan, RB Gerhardt, and SS Franz

I have a ton of cap space right now, but my biggest contracts are about to be signed...

DE Nicky Cobb – 5 years, 84 mill

NT Lenny Sterne, 4 years, 32 mill

CB Derek Felker, 4 years, 15 mill

TE Walter Perrone, 4 years, 11.5 mill

All of those were drafted in the same year, the only major injection of young talent we have here.



I extend LS Zirn for a year; FS Sanford by a year, SS Tatum by one, and while I live where CB Henderson played, he wants serious starter money and a big deal, so I hold off for now.

Any of my rookies boom after a year of play? Or bust further?

Crawford is 54/61, Carlisle 36/58, Sanderson, 52/57, Lane 39/49. Nah. I was hoping maybe Sanderson would rise up or something. But that was clearly dreaming on my part

Time for FA action. Again, not the biggest and highest profile class ever...


Who do I like:

P Rob Emerson, my stud P from Cleveland was let go, signed by the Broncos, and now is free. He’s 65/65 these days, and pricey. Another 65/65 guy, Luther, is available. But also pricey.

The best player is 29 year old 67 CB Middleton, but he injured is ACL and is still out for 11 weeks, and he’s pricey tooooo. Now he wants 4 years and 63 mill. Would I take a flyer on him later in the FA process and when his price drops? Sure. If I have the cap room.

Who else?

SE Rodney Riley is free from Cleveland. They let him go. But I’m fine for WR

RB Diego Lorey from Cleveland is also let free, and to be fair is 31.

I offer a 4 year, 13 mill deal to FS Cornelius Kaplan, the best S in FA

Backup Rod Divirgilio, 1 year deal for 1.3 mill

P Luther Michi, from Matewan, WV

That’s it. Most of the talent here are at places we are fine like RB and D Line and WR.

Week 2 – Diego Lorey heads to New England

Baltimore made an odd choice and tossed 5 years and 95 mill at Middleton a 29 year old CB with an ACL injury. Bizarre.


Week 3 – We sign LT Divirglio. WR Riley heads to San Francisco

Week 4 – We sign FS Cornelius Kaplan

That gives us a 56/56 Kaplan, and 35/56 OT that can be emergency starters or really high quality backups in case I move that way in the draft.

Now what?

Let’s look at the draft first:

Studs in order of stud-ship

DE
RT-ish
RCB-ish
RT-ish
WLB
RCB-ish
LT-Ish
QB ish
RG
RG


I interview a bunch of top talent. The best, ironically, is WLB Randall Flemming, underrated, absolutely house of a player. But there are a lot of quality players we could wind up with in case I trade down.

So let’s head back to FA and finish up.

Week 7 – WR Giovanni Moss heads to Denver.

Week 9 – We sign our P.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2029 Amateur Draft!

Arizona drafts first and....goes in a direction I didn’t see. They take WR Curtis Ledford. That’s weird. They could use some serious talent.

Now the draft is my oyster. Should I trade back? I need talent.

How far back should I trade in order to get a future 1st?

We are worth 2600

I swap to 1.7 and get a future first from the Panthers. They need a DE badly, so getting this best player in the draft stud all pro potential DE. Th rest of the draft is QB, OT, OT, and Dt.

Now, who do I like that’s left other than the obvious stud LB?

A great DE, a powerful OG, and a lesser but very, very good one. Good OT. CBs all over.

Could i move down again?

The best talent on the board that matches where we are are OGs, but I had two OGs with a strong year last year statistically, a good Cb, but none of the Cbs are top notch, and would likely be more in the 50s/60s than the 70s like I think. OT Titus is great. But if I wanted an OT I would have taken one earlier. I don’t need DE. So it’s really OLB Flemming, or someone else.

I think Flemming would fall. WLBs are the least likely to go this early. But remember that I don’t get a 2nd or 3rd rounder, so whoever I take here is basically it for this year. Instead of dropping and grabbing another future first, could I intend drop and collect a few 2nd rounders?

On the chart, I am worth 1500 points. A 2.10 is worth around 480. I would have to drop to 1.16 with the Eagles and get their 2.17 in order to find a dance partner. That’s the highest I can do. Now I think Flemming might make it to 1.16. But I would remove any chance I had of getting a stud OG, DT, or that good quality OT, or any of these three top solid, but not spectacular CBs. Is that worth it?


I could probably head to 15 or 14 or 13 or something for a future 2nd easily enough. But we need talent badly. And we don’t have the 2nd or 3rd to collect it, so I think an immediate gain is worth it.

Hmmmm....

Miami is at the 1.17 and 1.20 spots. That’s 950 and 850 in points, or 1800 points. That’s just 300 fewer than I have, or the equivalent of the 60th pick in the draft. I’m sure that Miami would likely take a future 2nd and my 1.7 for their 1.17 and 1.20, and I might even get them to toss in a late rounder, like a 6th or something too. Let’s see

I get:

1.17 and 1.20 this year, 7.17 this year
7th rounder next

I give:

1.7 this year
2nd rounder next

And that still favors them a lot by the points on the board.

Alright, I do it.

1.7 -OT
1.8 – CB
1.9 – CB
1.10 – DE
1.11 – CB
1.12 – OG
1.13 – CB
1.14 – OG
1.15 – CB
1.16 – WR


And there we are. Now there are a few players that I think fell:

DE Elias Upshaw, 2 reds, 3blues, 7.1 grade, 7.8 adjusted score, looks great. He is the player that fell the hardest...

LB Flemming, 7.1, adjusted 6.8, FOUR red scores, 2 blues.

Now I didn’t expect Upshaw to fall, so I never interviewed him. And I really don’t need a DE that badly. And he’s more of a 4-3 DE anyway. But talent shows. And it rises. So...Flemming or Upshaw?

I could, conceivably, trade my 1st future first to grab the 1.18 pick here, or slide from 1.20 to ensrue I got Upshaw. And take them both. But again, I don’t know if I need another DE that badly. But this LB show help take my back LB offseason last year and dial it up massively.

Let me show you Flemming and Upshaw


https://s15.postimg.org/qbey4kd3f/Flemming_and_Upshaw.png


You can’t not take them. They are too high quality to play around with, right? Right!

The only issue with Flemming is the super high volatility. But dude is.

Alright, I’m taking the Flemming machine, as you expect. How long until Upshaw gets taken?

1.19 to Dallas. That’s just not fair.

At 1.20, the best S is still on the board, so I go with my secondary instead of my D Line

Alright, see you in a bunch of rounds.

The top of the 4th arrives and there are a few sexy players here. K Elijah Fields as a 7.3 graded K, with multiple red and blue combines. Looks great. TE Miguel Mayers? CB Cochrane? DT Schultz? All look good here. But, I need a better K by far. Ks are weapons. I grab Fields.



I then grab SE Shane Whalen in the 5th. Take LT Ross Dixon in 6th round, and then in my new 7th rounder...hmmm....CB Bryan Tubbs, Combine guy. With red speed, and smarts, and blue pspec, but green strength.


Early post-draft results:

WLB Flemming – 42/92
K Fields – 59/82
S Randall Clayton – 42/70
OT Dixon – 7/57
CB Tubbs – 13/54
SE Whalen – 25/50

This is all about Flemming and Clayton and then not busting with Fields.

Good-ish deals

[Abe Sargent]

Alright, FA time.

We have a C+ draft again

QB Guymon is holding out and wants real money, like a 3 year deal and 15 mill each year. Nah

I make offers to these UFAs:

C Tevin Lowe
RB Nicky Willis
QB JC Houari,
QB Lukas Wheeler
SE Allen Hudson
TE Warren Grijalva
DE Ricky Kerr
CB Randal Weldon
OG Gerald Wilkes

FA TE Jake Browne, 3 years, 5 mill
FA DT Alexis Lincoln, 3 years, 5 mill
FA DE Heath Murphy, 2 years, 3 mill


I make a 3 year minsal offer to mentor QB Brock Snyder
I make a 2 year minsal offer to SLB Jordan Garcia, a former Browns lb mentor

Stage 1 – We sign just 1 target.

Stage 2 - another 6 join us. C Dar Dar signs with Miami. P Matlock heads to the Giants

Stage 3 – Our other targets sign with us too.

I am thinking about moving Flemming to SLB and then Sanderson to WILB to spot for Kaplan.


I have Sanderson lose weight, and then move him to SILB.


I sell 37500 season tix


I cut:

RB Lenny Watson
TE Grijalva
SE Hudson
RT Upshaw
CB Weldon
SS Tatum
DE Kerr
WR Woodson


I head to the preseason

[Abe Sargent]

We win our first match, and then Guyman returns. I cut a rookie. We finish h the preseason 3-1. Final cuts include QB Houari, K Carroll, and OT Bubba Keith

Do I want to do any extensions? Is it worth extending Damon Henderson? I could do 4 years, 34 mill. He did lead my team in picks last year, but a 52/52 guy would not, hopefully, be my starter for the long time. I do have the cash though, I have 44 under the cap... So I do it.

Here we go:

You can see that my key three rookies are all looking pretty sexy. Much better than last year. In the middle, Tubbs, Sanderson, Kaplan are splitting reps. I slid to C Carlie because he’s more well rounded instead of a run blocking specialist with no pass blocking of C Manning.

This off season many of my additions are much better. P Michi and K Fields. SLB Flemming. SS Clayton. FS Kaplan. Some players continue to drop, like Sanderson, and others, like TE Walter Perrone have gotten better.

There are four players in the NFL with a current or future potential of 90 or more. One is Flemming. We have 2 90s – NT Damien Alcott for the Browns, OG Percy Duffy for the 49ers, and then 72/91 RT Sebastian Will for the Cards and.....52/92 LB Flemming for the Chiefs. If he reaches his potential,, and that’s always an if, he would be the best player in the league, period.

There are only 5 Safeties in the NFl with a current or future potential of at least 70. The best is rookie Daniel Konkler, 38/76, that the Broncos got in the 31st pick and boomed in camp a bit. Then 73/73 Raiders, 72/72 Jets, 71/71 Texans, and our 53/72 guy as well.

Only 4 kickers in the league have a current p potential higher than 70, and outs at 65/71, would be the second highest. A 77/77 is the best.

Other than a few probables and minor questionables, like DE Cobb’;s sprained knee, we are ready to go.

We are 12th lowest power rating

We are worst 10 in QB, OT, and that’s it. Big improvement from last year.

We are 2nd best TE, and have top tens in DE, S (at 12), DT (At 12), OLB (at 11), P, K, OG,

Even with the weak QB and such, I’m thinking that we are about to unload some serious damage.

I’ll be surprised if we don’t get at least 8 wins.

[Abe Sargent]

Week 1 – We win 17-13 over the Chargers. MOM is DE Cobb with 1 FF, 2 sacks, and 3 hurries. FF by DT Sterne and LB Crawford as well. QB Guymon is 15 of 31, 231 yards, and 2:1 hitting WR Frederick for 103 yards and WR Hatcher and RB Johnstone for scores. 3 KRB by OG Laird.

No major injuries, although FS Kaplan is out for two weeks. Russell Sanford will start.

Week 2 – We barely lose 27-30 vs the Giants. Guymon was 24 of 37, 308 yards, and 2:0 and hit Frederick for 96 yards and a score, WR King for 113 yards and a score. Before he went down with an injury, RB Branch had 17 carries for 89 yards, and Johnstone finished with 13 for 49 and a score. 5 KRB by C Manning.

QB Guyman is questionable with a broken thumb, and RB Branch out for a week

Week 3 – We lose 3-17 to Tennessee. Guymon a quiet 22 of 34 for 163, and the FF by DT Sterne, Kaplan and Branch return next game


Week 4 – We take out the Jets 21-13. MO is Guymon with 15 f 28, 257 and2:1, hitting Hatcher for 100 yards and both scores. LB Flemming had a pair of picks.


Week 5 – We barely manage to beat the winless Raiders 14-6 in our place. MOM is OLB Flemming with a pick and a sack. FF by DE Benton and LB Sanderson. Picks by Ss Kaplam and Clayton. 2.5 sacks by DE Cobb. Our scores are a lucky run by backup Jon Buckner which breaks free for 70 yards and a score, and then Guyman is 14 of 26, 168 and 1:1 and hit WR Hatcher for the other score.


Week 6 – BYE

Week 7 – I only have three probables coming off our bye. So we appear to be healthy. Ish. We just smash the 5-0 Pats 37-11. Guymon rocked the MOM award and had 18 of 29 for 194 and 2:0, and hit Hatcher for 107 yards and a score and TE Gretzky for the other. Branch was 18 for 84 on the ground, 2 picks returned for scores by S Randall Clayton and CB Paul Willing. 2 sacks by LB Crawford, 3 KRB by each of my OGs. No major injuries either.


Week 8 – We defeat the 2 win Dolphins 22-6. K Fields is MOM with 5/5 on FGs. Guyan is 18 of 29, 224 and 1:0 and hit RB Branch for a score, and King for 124 yards. Branch had 17 for 81 on the ground, and picks by S Clayton and CB Derek Felker, and a FF by Felker too. 2 sacks by ILB Rivera. 4 KRB by OG Bodell.

No major injures, but 4 starters were knocked to long term probables, like S Clayton’s hand.

Week 9 – We thump Denver 34-14. MOM is Branch with 26 for 109, 1 score on the ground,. Guymon added 21 for 33, 217 and 2:1 and hit Hatcher for 2 scores. LB Flemming with a pick. 2 sacks by Cobb, and 6 KRB by OG Bodell and 4 by OT Torres.

At the halfway mark we are a surprising 6-2, with all three of my key rookies playing very well. Right now Flemming is tied for league lead with 4 picks, and the 3 picks and one returned for a score by SS Clayton is really helpful too. Even K Fields has the longest long FGM at 58 yards and a solid performance thus far. DE Cobb isn’t setting any major records, but 7.5 sacks is fine. We’re looking solid. Even Guymon isn’t that bad...

It’s probably going to all fall apart now! :)

[Abe Sargent]

Week 10 – We head to Buffalo and win 24-7. MOM is....QB Ben Swift with 14 of 17, 144 and 0), while Guyman was 9 of 12, 71 and 1:0. TE Perrone with that score. RB Johnstone was 26 for 98 and ascore, and Swift added a QB rush TD. 2 FF by LB Crawford, and 1 pick by CB Henderson. 5 KRB by Torres, and 3 each by C Carlie and OT Divirgilio.

Now....this was that game. Know how sometimes you almost wish you’d have a loss than that sort of a pyrrhic victory? That was this victory. Get ready for the injuries:

QB Guymon, out for 5 weeks with a strained foot ligament

RG Bodell – Out for 7 weeks with concussion

C Carlisle – Out for 10 weeks with concussion

RB Branch, doubtful, turf toe, until further notice

I do the follow roster adjustments.

1. Deactivate Branch until he is healed, Johnstone starts
2. I place C Carlisle on IR. We’ll have C Manning step up.
3. I deactivate QB Guymon and start Ben Swift
4. I deactivate OG Bodell, and start OG David Drake
5. I sign RT Eugune Finch off FA

Hey, at least we won though!

Week 11 – We lose 41-24 to the Chargers. We had 262 yards passing, 2:0 from two QBS King had 130 of those and a score, and WR Whalen the other score. Johnstone was 13 for 42 and a score on the ground. Picks by Clayton and CB Felker. FF by Tubbs recovered by Clayton. 5 KRB by Torres

No injury updates

Week 12 – We lose 14-26 to the Eagles. QB Swift was 20 of 41, 148 and 2:1. King and Frederick with scores. 2 GG by Sanderson, 1 each by Rivera and CB Henderson, and Recoveries by DE Benton,Clayton and Crawford.

FB Buckner is out for the rest of the season with a busted knee. I toss him on IR. And I sign FB Omar Nixon to my roster.

Week 13 – We get back to winning with a37—10 drubbing of the Bengals. MOM is Cobb with a sack, FF, Fum Rec, returned for a TD. RB Johnstone adds ground scores, Swift is 23 of 31, 219, and 1:1, hitting RB Nicky Willis for a score. 5 KRB by OG Laird.

In injury news, CB Tubbs is out for a month with a calf injury.

Week 14 – We beat three-win Dallas strongly 44-19. MOM os Johnstone with 2 TDs on the ground and 2 more rec. Swift was 22 of 29, 230 and 2:1. Picks by Flemming, FS Cornelius Kaplan (returned for score) and LB Tubbs (returned for TD too).

We have some more injuries news:

WR Thomas Hatcher, out with a calf muscle for a few weeks

TE Jake Brownse, out for 5 weeks. I toss him on IR. I sign random TE Jose Horn.

QB Guymon returned. I’ma stick with Swift for now.


Week 15 – We lose 16-14 to the Broncos. Swift was not good with 19 of 30 for 131 and 0:2. Johnstone held to just 42 yards on the ground and as core. CB Felker with 1 pick returned 98 yards for a scor eto keep it close. 4 KRB by Laird, no injury news

Week 16 – We win 23-10 vs the Redskins. MOM is DE Amos Benton with 2.5 sacks, an he recovered a FF by Cobb too. Browning with a pick. Swift is 17 for 26, 138 and 1:1, hitting Frederick for 90 yards and TE Perrone for a score. Swift rushes for a score as well.

LB Crawford is questionable but I’ll start him anyway. If we win next week, then we win the AFC West.

Week 17 – We head to Oakland to face the 3-12 Raiders. They would love to play spoiler on us. We lose 13-23 to finish 10-6. We have a pick by Flemming, Swift was 11 of 28 for 162 and 1:1. He hit WR King for that score.

Denver won, so they won the AFC West. At 10-6, we are a wild card.

Ready for the playoffs Kansas City?

[Abe Sargent]

The 2029 (and 30) NFL Playoffs:

AFC:

#1 Ravens, 12-4
#2 Colts, 11-5
#3 Pats, 10-6
#4 Broncos, 10-6
#5 Steelers, 10-6
#6 Chiefs, 10-6

That’s a pretty even field. Everybody has double digits, 4 are 10 wins, and no one has more than 2 more than the least, so pretty open I’d think. (The same is true in the NFC where 4 teams are 10-6, one is 9-7, and the top seed 11-5).

Wild Card Weekend:

We head to New England. Denver hosts the Steelers

In the NFC – LA hosts the G Men and Carolina the 49ers


We lose 13-15. RB Lorey was MOM and we had Swift with 23 of 42, 167, 1:1, and 47 on the ground. WR King with the score. 1 FF and 2 FumRec by OLB Flemming, and 1 FF by Crawford. 2 Sacks by Crawford too.


Rams 35, Giants 24
Denver 17, Pittsburgh 10
49ers 6, Panthers 3

Week 2 –

Indy hosts Denver
LA heads to Chicago
New England at Baltimore
San Fran at Phily

Indy wins 31, 12
Chicago wins 34-20
New England wins 21-17
San Fran wins 10-9

And that brings up:

Week 3, Conference Championships

Pats at Colts
49er at Beats

In both cases, away teams are favored a bit.

But it doesn’t matter. The home teams both win, Colts 21-7, Bears 28-20

And that sets up your Colts vs Bears Super Bowl

Colts 19
Bears 3

Colts win. Good jorb!

[Abe Sargent]

DT Sterne, 6.5 sacks, 2, 7
DE Benton, 6.5 sacks, 2, 31 hurries and 23 QBKD – Benton led all players in hurries by Nine, and was 2nd in QBKd, I was hoping for a bigger nod, but people care more about sacks than anything else , 4 FF, 3 FumRec,

I need a good QB to make this team really work. My defense is getting to a good place quickly. I just need a little more from my QB. I’m not even getting early Arledge numbers from these two former #1 picks at QB.

Team Awards:

Off. Play of the Year: OG Bodell – Until he went down with injury, he was 5th in the league in KRB and on pace to have a great season, and with just 9 starts, he still finished 3rd on my team with KRB . Good job Bodell!

Def. Player of the Year: LB Flemming – I hate to give it to a rookie, but dude gets Defensive Player of the Year for the league, Dude gets the same award for my team.

Sp. Teams. Play of the Year: P Michi -Everybody had a good year, but Michi was the most improved from previous seasons, with a much higher % of punts inside the 20 and better average as well.

Rookie of the Year: SS Clayton – Had a very good year. Only 3 safeties had more picks in the league.

Heart Award: CB Browning – He was deactivated for the first 12 games, came in due to injury, was just a dimeback on one of my many formations, and still notched a pick on just 18 pass plays for the season. He made himself felt!

[Abe Sargent]

End of the Year:

Perform – 63
Value – 61
Profit – 62
Roster – 50
Score – 61

New Hall fo Famer – Luke Kuechly, Joey Horner, and C Travis Frederick. Horner was one of the major pieces of my Cleveland juggernaut, and an undrafted house:


Horner – 3 rings, 120 sacks, All Pro 5 times, Defensive Rookie of the year, Defensive Player of the Year in 2017. He was an undrafted guy who was always in the low 60s or so but played very well. He was 40/62 when I grabbed him, and then grew into 65/65 entering year 2. Was ever one of these 70s or 80s studs. But he played like it!

Welcome to the HOF Horner!

Only 20 players are in the HOF right now. And, Horner came in the first year of this dynasty so...I hope we’ll see others soon! Horner is the first of that lot to make it to the HOF. Unless you count OT Joe Thomas

Frederick was made by the PC, and was All Pro 7 times, and finished with 414 KRB.


Retirements of note:

CB Browning and OT Torres are heading out there.

From others?

DE Julio Stanton, another in that era of my dynasty, and the best DE in the league during his era.
QB Derek Carr, retires as legend of the game
FL Bernard ODonnell, 10113 yards, 2 All Pros,
LG Jeffrey Erickson, 355 KRB, 3 time All Pro
DE Darryl Thomason – 98 sacks, 3 All Pros, 1 Super Bowl MVP, 1 Ring
SS Charles Winter, 46 picks, 93 pasdef, 2 All Pros, 1 Def Play of the Year in 2025.


LT Shon Coleman, spent his entire career with my Browns, 384 KRB, 21 pansacks, 91 sacks allowed, 5 Rings, 4 All Pros.

Will Coleman make my HOF? Stanton certainly will with 2 DPotY and 7 All Pros

Longtime LS Bo Newsome for my Browns team

Value:

We are 12th worst stadium, the worst roster, 8th worst support, 14th best economy, 5th lowest value

We made 26 mill and improved to 87.6% attendance

Staff Draft:

We pick 22nd.

I make no changes to my staff

[Abe Sargent]

We have 42 players under contract. Anyone I want to franchise now? Only 4 UFAs – QB Guymon, LB Rivera, RT Divirgilio, and FB Nixon

We have the 21st and 22nd picks in the 1st round, no 2nd rounders, and then picks from there. Now, if I can get some quality to drop like they did last year with my FS and LB and even that DE who was close, I’ll be happy.

Here’s who I need to start:

Qb
Maybe Rb, but only if the right one comes down my path
OT
OT
Great Cb

And I’d take a stud stud at OG, LB, or FS

The draft seems to include a ton of different players. I make some interviews for top flash guys like WR, D Line, and more. It’s a top heavy WR draft, two strong CBs at the top, and others. But not the deep OTs that I would hope for this year.

I sign RFAs – MLB Lujan, C Lowe, LG Wilkes, RT Finch and RB Willis. I am 60 mill under the cap and rom for 48 mill.

Anyone is the last year of their contract I need to reup? Yes:

I extend P Michi, LS Zirn, OG Bodell, OG Laird, SE King, OG Drake, FL Frederick

I hand a 3 year, 39 mill deal to DE Amos Benton and that’s his first pro deal for us

I leave C Manning, TE Gretsky, and RBs Johnstone and Branch in their final year. QB Swift too.

Alright, FA Time:

Who do I like as a good target?

LT Darryl Raymond, best OT in FA, 50s guy, 3 years, 11 mill

RB Ernest Barrett, 3 years, 10 mill

FB Michael Bradford, 3 years, 7.25 mill

WILB Ken Rivera, 2 years, 5 mill


Week 2 – We sign RB Barrett and LB Rivera

Week 3 – Raymond is next

Week 6 – Guymon heads to Carolina

Week 9 – FB Bradford signs

Ready for the draft?

[Abe Sargent]

The 2030 NFL Amateur Draft!!!

Now, who do I like?

A couple of cool things. The 20th and 21st picks are worth 1650 points, and the 6th pick is 1600, so technically, I could swap up if I needed to.

The best player goes at 1.1 CB Brady Runnels to Dallas.

Then the rest of the top five is the stud QB I loved at 1.2, then CB, WR, and DT round it up. Now there is a lot of talent left. Top Ot, solid WRs, and such. This stud WLB ho looks a bit of a copy of my guy from last year, and more.

I’m fine at WR right now, no need to trade up for a good one. Let’s slow roll.

1.6 DT
1.7 WR – best one
1.8 – WR
1.9 – TE
1.10 – CB

Now I’m not sure who would fall. But I love the untaken LT BJ Fisk. We interviewed him as underrated, good combines, bars, and low volatility. What’s the 1.11 worth?

1250. And the person who holds it is San Diego. They need O Line help so they’d potentially go. I was offering my two firsts for their 1st and 2nd, and they won’t go, even if I offer a 4th this year. So no thanks. Will Fisk keep falling? Nope. They take him 1.11.

1.12 – WR
1.13 – CB
1.14 – T
1.15 – DE
1.16 – WR
1.17 – TE
1.18 – WR
1.19 – C
1.20 – S

Alright, that leaves me my 21 and 22 picks. I want to go BAP to insure the quality of these picks. Who is that?

OG Liam Guzy
WLB DeAndre Jacobs

Those are the two best players. But I have players on my roster with talent. I don’t need LBs and OGs right now. I need OTs and QBs. What’s the goal? Top flight talent? Or best player of need? Talent. I take them both. I’ll likely move Jacobs inside and Guzy could replace one of my old OGs or perhaps even move to OT.

See you in the 3rd


3rd maybe Shaquille Justice, OLB? Could I have too many? I scouted him, he came back As Scouted, but red flag. But frankly, I don’t need another quality LB right now. Even a red flagged one. Hmmm.. how about CB Darren Moschetti? He’s one of the highest players still on the board.

4th time! I like DT Alonzo Stuart here. Seems to have enough to matter. I stick with helping my lines with 5th rounder QB Conrad Rhodes and 6th LT Darryl Skae

7th round – FL Zane Rood and WLB Sam Danieles


Alright, and we are done!

[Abe Sargent]

Training Camp!

I cut QB Harvey, FB Buckner, RB Burks, TE Thomason, FL Collins, C Rasby, OG Shepard, RB Vance, OG Wilkes, DT Lincoln, DE Murphy,

We go 3-0-1 with a 20-20 tie in the 3rd game in the pre-season

C Manning dropped a bunch, so I cut him and LB Rivera too.

Let’s look at my QB situation.

Preseason I started my new Rhodes. He grew when I drafted him from 48 to 51 in camp and 52 potential now, although a lot of players only grow once in their first year and then are locked in

Our victories were 36-10, 30-17, 27-14, and then 20-20 tied. Actually, nm, my coaches stupidly played backup Brock Snyder despite me listing Rhodes as my starter. I have nothing to go on now. Dumb coaches.

I should have moved up and grabbed the 2n d pick and taken that great Qb. He’s 79 potential heading into the season and looks solid. Ah well. I’ma start Rhodes, because we got nothing from Swift earlier. RB Branch busted, Barrett will start. I left Crawford inside and keeping my rookie at his natural spot to see if I can develop him there.

You can see some fun players about to hit this thang

[Abe Sargent]

Here we are:

Week 1 – We open with a OT loss to the Broncos 16-13. Rhodes was 18 of 29, 214, and 1:0 and hit King for that score. Barrett was 20 for 71 on the ground. 2 FF by Crawford. 3 sacks by Flemming. 4 KRB by new signee LT Raymond and 3 by rookie Guzy, starting at RT.

No major injury news.

Week 2 – We lose 29-33 to the Rams. Pick by CB Henderson, returned for a score. FF by Henderson. Rhodes was 19 of 28, 192 and 2:0, hitting both WR Frederick and Hatcher for scores. RB Johnstone added a score on the ground. We were held sockless, but OG Bodell had 6 KRB abd 3 each for Guzy and OG Laird.

One minor injury of note.

With a concussion, Hatcher is out for a few weeks. I bench him


Week 3 – Get ready. Rhodes just had my first, “Brandan Arledge” game. We beat the Jags 30-12. Rhodes was MVP of the game with 21 of 26, 304 yards, 3:0 and hit TE Perrone, RB Johnstone, and WR King for scores. Picks by Flemming and FS Kaplan. You know how Arledge would look in the 40s, but often play better. Rhodes just played better.

Post game, CB Henderson is doubtful for a month, CB Felker questionable with a hammy, and so forth.

Week 4 – We barely edge the Ravens 24-23 on the road. Mom is Rhodes, with 18 of 23 for 178 and 1:0, and hit TE Greysky for a score. Johnstone added another on the ground and then S Kaplan got a pick returned for a score and S Clayton another pick.

No major injury news. We are 2-2.

Week 5 – BYE

Thatcher healed over BYE

[Abe Sargent]

Week 6 – We lose 20-31 to the Bengals. Rhodes tossed his first picks on the season, and had a 19 of 35, 287 and 2:2 game, hitting both RB Barret and Hatcher for scores. FF by Cobb. 3 KRB by Carlisle.

No major injury news again.

Week 7 – We win 13-10 vs the Raiders. MOM was Flemmign with 2.5 sacks. Picks by Kaplan and Clayton, Kaplan returned for score. Rhodes wasn’t great – 16 of 27, 227, and 0:1. 5 KRB by OG Laird

CB Henderson is back


Week 8 – We win 30-24 over the Browns. Rhodes is MOM with 17 of 29, 239, 2:0 and rushed for another score. King had 126 yards and a score, and TE Perrone the other TD. All of my starting O Line had 3 KRB. Creepy I know.

Week 9 – We win 16=13 over the Steelers. MOM is SS Clayton, with 2 picks, and ILB Sanderson with the other. 5 KRb by Bodell, 3 by LT Raymond. Rhodes was ineffective, with 14 of 21, 120, and 0:0. Barrett rushed for our lone score.

At the midway point, only Felker is injured, and I have a 5-3 record despite some lower stats by a lot of my stars. DE Cobb has been nowhere. Just 3 sacks on the first half. Rhodes tends to spread the ball out a lot, so none of my receivers have a lot of yards. I just have 1 100 yard game with 1 players.

2nd half, here we come

[Abe Sargent]

Week 10 – We lose 19-24 to the Broncos. Rhodes was just 19 of 32, 195, and 0:0, but he rushed for a score and TE Perrone had 119 yards. It’s like Cobb heard me and got 2 sacks.

Week 11 – We edge the two win Chargers 31-24 in their place on a last minute TD drive by Rhodes, MOM with 21 of 30, 2:1, 282 yards, and hit both RBs Barrett and Johnstone for scores, and Barrett added 2 on the ground. FF and 3 sacks by Cobb. He clearly hear me. Clearly. I gotta write more badly about others. Where are you CB Felker? Get me more picks! FF by Flemming and Tubbs too. 4 KRb by Carlisle and Raymond, 3 by Bodell

We are 6-4

Week 12 – Good news? We beat Arizona 21-9, 3 scores each , but we got TDs. Kaplan with a 74 yard return off a pick for a score. MOM is DE Amos Benton, with 3.5 sacks. 3 KRB for Raymond. Rhodes was 17 of 29, 122, and 1:0 and hit Perrone for a score. Barrett rushes for the last score. Pick bt DT Sterne too. FF by Clayton. Okay, here’s the bad...

Out = FS Sanford
Out – LB Dexter Tubbs
Questionable – Felker still
Questionable – Carlisle
Questionable – OG Laird

I make changes tp my roster to accommodate

Week 13 – We have a chance to go to 8-4 and then.....miss is and wind up 7-5 after losing 17-24 to the 9-3 Jets. Rhodes explodes with 16 of 30, 106 and 0:2. Looking like a rookie. Barrett rushes for a score. Fleming recovers a Fumble for a score. 4 KRB by Bodell and 3 by Carlisle.

[Abe Sargent]

Week 14 – Next we host the 10 win Seahawks. We actually win 27-24. WR Hatcher with a Kickoff return for a score. RB Barrett rushes for a score, but OG Bodell is MOM with 6 KRB and a 2 pancakes. Rhodes? 18 of 27, 177, 1:1. RB Johnstone with the score. Picks by Kaplan, Dalton, and Flemming.

No injury news

Week 15 – The Raiders beat us 22-17, and knock Rhodes out with a concussion. Swift finished the game with 14 of 19, 268 and 2:0. Hatcher and Frederick with scores, and Frederick has 111 yards. 2 picks by CB Dalton. Kaplan and Clayton with FF,

Week 16 – We with and Swift has his best day ever for us, and is MOM with 20 of 36, 259, and 3:1 and hit Perrone for 100 yards and a score, and King and Johnstone for scores. SF falls 24-10. FF bu Sterne, on his 2 sacks day, recovered by Kaplan.

We have two major injuries with O Line starters – Carlisle and Laird. I place Carlisle on IR. I sign back LG Gerald Wilkes.

We’ll be starting C Lowe and OG Drake until they come back. I keep Swift tossing

Week 17 – We are 9-6, Oakland and Denver are too. So this week’s game really matters. There are 3 other 9-6 teams in the AFC, so if we wind up 9-7, I doubt were’ making it in. Even if we win, it’s possible we may not make it in if we have a lot of competition. Today we play 4-11 San Diego, so all we have to do is hold serve.

We do. We win 30-13. Pick by SS Clayton. 3 KRB by Guzy. Swift was 17 of 34 for 318 abd 2:2 and nailed Hatcher and Barrett for scores, and Hatcher was 105 yards and had a kick return for a score, Hatcher game MVP.

No major injuries...

Awards:

Defensive Player of the Year – OLB Flemming

All Pro-1st Team – DT Lenny Sterne – long overdue. Flemming. SS Randall Clayton

All Pro-2nd Team – OG Bodell,

Did a certain S Kaplan, mine get robbed? We’ll see. If Clayton had had another pick or two, especially for returned, he may have pushed out Flemming.

Flemming and Cobb each had 9.5 sacks, and Sterne was right there with 9. Denton looked good too. Once again, Flemmign led my team in tackles, and this time, not picks, but sacks.

5 picks each by Clayton and Kaplan. 5 was the most any player had this year in the league, I thought Kaplan’s league-leading 5 picks and 3 ret TDs was All Pro worthy. But I was clearly wrong. But the 16 pasdef for Flemming, again, a team leading number. CB Dalton good with 3 and 12,and don’t forget that Felker was limited by injury the whole season.

Bodell had 36 KRB, 2 pancakes, and 6 sacks allowed
OT Raymond, 32, 0, and 9 allow
OG Guzy, 28, 0 and 7
Carlisle, 14 games, 27, 0 and 4 allow
Laird, 14 games, 21, 0 and 5

Team Awards:


Off Player of the Year: TE Perrone – really put together a great year for us. Only 4 TEs had more receiving yards, and such. Good job Perrone!

Def. Player – LB Flemming. Duh.

Special Teams Player – WR Hatcher, with 2 KR RET RDs on the year. Nicely done sir! It’s harder in this era to get KR RET TD after they were hosed, so Hatcher really outperformed

Rookie of the Year: OG Guzy, started, and never was kept back

Heart Award – DE Lane – Our runs specialist had a good, solid year spelling our team, getting some pressure on the QB, and doing some damage. Good job Lane!


Flemming is clearly a monster...

The Flemming Watch –

In two years, this SLB has:

Two Defensive Player of the year awards

14.5 sacks
5 blockes
10 Hurries
219 solo tackles
44 Assists
27 QBKD
8 Ints,
25 PasDef
3 FF, 1 Fum Rec, 1 FR TD


In real life, only Watt, Lawrence Taylor, Singletary, Bruce Smith, Reggie White, Ray Lewis, and Joe Greene have more than 1 Defensive Player of the year, so that is elite company already. Only two – Watt and LT have 3. No one has more. So we have a guy who has his entire career to beat those record. Just 1 other rookie, LT, won the award their rookie season.

How many teams in the league have 3-4 defenses right now? 22 of 32. Crazy trend. So, given that, I;m even more surprised that Flemming fell. I usually have issues getting my Lbs in my 4-3 formats All Pros and more, because you are competing against teams with 3-4 configurations and more players to complete against as well, so I found All Pros just harder to crack. I know how to get All Pro in the secondary or D Line, what to emphasize and more. But still, I’m impressed that Flemming was this good this fast.

Staff –

I give a raise to OC Steve Smith, and then....

Staff Draft. We grab 18th. I make no staff changes

We have 44 under roster. Anyone I want to tag?

My UFAs:

Swift, Willing, Dalton, Sanford, Gretsky, Branch, and Johnstone.

Nah, we’re good. I raise my prices

[Abe Sargent]

Free Agency, 2031

I move to FA and we draft 24th



This is the first time we have real potential targets for signing – CB Dana Cortez, from Cleveland is 72 and 5 years old and DE Kody Benson is 70, 6 years, and even SE Dan Mercado is 63 and 8, and so forth. We even have top flight kickers available.

I have a ton of money under the cap – 80 mill and 70 for new players. So I can chase pretty much anyone. I make offers to all three of my RFAs then, even a more than are pricier.


Anyone I want to keep?

P Michi by two more years
LS Zirn by a year
FL Hatcher – 4 year deal
C Lowe by another year

I hold onto players like C Carlisle, Crawford, Sanderson, SE King and such until after the draft, and perhaps even at the end of the pre-season games when I’ll know my roster better

Any major moves or changes with my roster? Jacobs didn’t do much, but he’s 64/80 now. WLB did not work out for him. I got to find somewhere for him to blow up.

Week 2 –

Do I want to fight for Cortez? Right now he’s at 115 mill for 5 years. Very, very, expensive. He;s entering the prime of his career, but he only has 16 picks and 24 pasdef, so he would underplay his abilities. He’d replace Henderson as my longterm starter at CB, and Henderson, at 52 skill, and 30 years of age in his 78th year, is in a very different place.

Cortez?

Will Cortez help shut folks down? Do I have too many good quality DBacks to make him work?

Other options for talent acquisition:

I need:

Starting QB only, backup otherwise

Starting RB

TE for depth
Top flight WR
Star CB

That’s it

I offer RB Dana Abrams, 3 years, 11.5 mill

I have a few players out there I need to bring in for big contracts coming up = namely Flemming, SS Clayton, and even K Bridges. But I have so much money right now, no reason not to chase Cortex, my old guy.

I make an offer for Dana Cortez – 5 years, 118 mill

He is tied with two other CBs at 72 as the best CB in the league. You gotta pay to play.

[Abe Sargent]

Week 3 – They both have signed


Alright, that’s serious fun. Our cap after we played that game is a simple 50 mill left, 42 after the draft. But again, I don’t want to blow that cash too easily. My cap for CB Cortez was simple – 21 mill for the first four years, and then 29 mill his final year. I wanted to keep it flat, as I had spent so much cash on him.

Here let me show you...

Here are the Cbs in this league, listed by potential ratings. I also put RB Adams up so you could see him too.


https://s3.postimg.org/919mxylub/Cortez_and_Abrams.png


You can see Dana’s current high is better than everybody but 1 3rd year vet. Only 7 players in the league are at 70 or more potential, and Dana’s is pretty saucy.

Now, is there anyone else I want? Any other targets that make sense?

Now that his price dropped, I make an offer to bring back Ben, as my main or backup, for 2 years, 7 mill.

I am going to make a cool change, by the by for y’all. No more trading for picks. I can trade picks for players, or vice versa, but no more draft manipulations. I don’t want to get accused too much, right? Even if the trades are, technically, in the favor of those I made them with by points.

A lot of my solid backups are heading off. Do I want to fight to keep a CB Dalton? A RB Johnstone? A TE Gretsky?

I make a 6 mill, 2 year deal offer for Gretsky, and then I wont chase my good backup CBs, now that I overlaid Cortez over Henderson. I can drop Henderson to their role as nickel or sub for injury.

For depth:

1 S
1 CB
1 RB

And then starters at QB, maybe a over-the-top WR given the age and reduction of my core three, ditto OT, and then maybe one for FS much later. Kaplan is good, but 30.

Alright, anyone in FA that rubs my belly?

Nah

Week 5 – Johnstone heads to the Jets

Week 7 – Swift signs, Branch heads to Denver

Week 8 – Gretsky signs

Let me looksee the draftsee

I interview OTs, WRs, and QBs but find nothing. Nothing.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2031 NFL Amateur Draft


DT Giles Washington heads at 1.1 to Washington. Think it’s because of the name?


1.24 arrives, who do I like?

Two solid Lbs I can’t touch

A DE who looks just top class

A bunch of solid D Backs? SS Burks and move to FS?

RB Jerome Osterhaus?



Or a grower WR that has horrible bars and great just great combines, but without knowing where he’ll end up? Fastest player in the draft with 4.26 dash, reds in two other places, and two blues. But do I take him knowing he’s likely a long term project grower?

You know what? Why not? I currently have good WRs on my roster, so I’m not losing anything by growing him now, right? I know a lot of folks who play FOF who would take the gamble. It’s not my style, but that doesn’t mean he won’t work out either.

I take WR Curtis Holbert.


2.23?

C Carlton Sellers? LB Malachi Shea? RT Bozeman? CB Brooks? I like them all. But none of those are positions of need. Shea is the best by far, and I could keep Shea, my two 1st rounders, and Crawford and Tubbs here, and let Sanderson and others go. Shea is an inside LB. Looks great. I would never normally go C this high, you can always get quality later, and I have a starter who’s 59/59, but Sellers looks sexy, but not stud-level sexy that would lead to me pulling the trigger, just really, really good. Brooks is great as a backup, but is the weakest of these three, and could be a solid dime or nickel back later. He may only be a good, high or mid 50s, but with o weaknesses. RT Bozeman appears the best of the OT lot that is left.

So who and where?

I think when you get past the 50th pick in the draft, including here at 55, you have to take high talent that is this good when you see it. Shea is quality quality nice. I have to go with him. 1 red (speed) and 5 blue stats in the combine too.

3.22?

Bozeman is still on the board, oddly. Three other OTs went. I take Bozeman, and I don’t look back.

The 4th arrives and with it a few players I like such as DE Walter and FS Allen. But I need Safety help and FS too, so I can grab Allen as a backup, with some large potential bars

5th? C McCarthy is a solid pickup this late. Very few Centers went. 6th? OG Tim Banks. 7th? CB Louie Perry. Many of these later picks are showers, not growers. We’ll see if they fall or rise later on.

[Abe Sargent]

Holbert comes in 39/46. Just got to have faith in growing ness

That DE I liked in the 1st went the pick after me and is 36/76. Shea? 30/75 went three picks later.


Chicago has voted to move to...... Colorado Springs. That....makes no sense to me at all.

Now I had interviewed 6 QBs in this draft, all came back overrated or very overrated, and none had good bars to begin with. No QB came out with a potential higher than 54.

Late FA!

I have 58 players under contract. I don’t need to chase much:

I make offers to UFA RB Norbert Mabe, RB Gregory Wolfe,

I have holdouts by Perrone and Crawford.

Perrone is the 5th best TE in the league and wants to be paid like it. I signed him, long term, to a now below market salary, and he’s making 3 mill this year and 3.5 mill next. He wants 5 years 65 mill. I do it. That’s fair.

I’m not touching Crawford right now.

We’re good with my offers.

Week 2 – They all sign.

Pre Camp, here is where my rookies are:

39/46 Holbert
30/76 Shea
20/62 Bozeman
31/52 McCarthy
20/52 Allen
21/50 Parry
28/56 Banks

Draft Review B, no one on the Green page


In Holbert I trust....

[Abe Sargent]

Camping!


Crawford ended his hold out.

SE Holbert rises to 43/54

Other rookie related moves?

RT Bozeman fell to 25/54
C McCarthy to 36/60

No other major changes yet.

I cut LB Jack Kaplan; WR Rood,

We finish the preseason 3-1 and then I cut OT Divirglio, RG David Drake, CB Parrey dropped so I cut him

Major changes of rookies post camp –

Holbert now 47/63
OG Banks ebbed to 26/55
C McCarthy now 37/60
FS Allen rose to 28/60
Shea fell to 37/71


Bozeman is out for a few weeks

I am going to reverse this script. Swift continues to look better on paper than Rhodes. And last year, other than the playoff egg, Swift was playing better. So, will Swift be the better QB this year? Let’s find out.

Anyone I want to extend? Only Crawford and Carlisle start for me. Carlisle can be replaced by people on the roster . Tubbs and Sanderson are buried in the middle. But Crawford is solid. But he is now banished to the WILB spot, the least likely to do anything spot on a 3-4, because of the additions of Shea, Flemming, and Jacobs. We’ll see if he does well this year there, but Sanderson didn’t last year.

We’re good!

[Abe Sargent]

Week 1 – We beat Oakland 27-20, and MOM is LB Crawford. It’s like he heard me. Sack, pick, FF by DT Stearne, picks by LB Shea in his first game, CB Felker, and SLB Flemming, returned for a score. 3 KRB each by Carlisle and Bodell. Swift was anemic with 18 of 24, 1:1 and hit Perrone for that score.

Duzy is questionable for a bit.
OT Raymond out or 7 weeks with a torn elbow tendon

OT Darryl Skae will start for him until his return

Week 2 – We lose to the Pack 24-13. Swift, 15 of 33, 167 and 1:2. WR King with the score. Picks by Flemming and Kaplan. 4 KRB by Bodell

Week 11 – We beat San Diego 23-13. MOM is OG Laird, with 6 KRB, and Bodell had 5. Adams had 112 yards, and Barrett had 2 rushing scores. (Barrett is my short yardage RB). Swift was not with 14 of 19, 129 and 0:0. Picks by LB Crawford and Henderson. 2 FF by DT Sterne, 1 by Flemming, and 1 FumRec by Cobb


Week 12 – We win strongly, 30-7 over the Lions. We have some odd statlines, here – look:

Despite the length of the game, no picks, no sacks, and no fumbles. Abrams was 21 for 102 and 1 score, and Swift was MOM with 38 of 52, 429 and 2:1, and hit Hatcher and Holbert for scores and Hatcher rushed for another. 7 KRB by Laird, 3 by Guzy and Raymond

At 11-3, we are tied with the Jags for lead in the AFC. We won the AFC West this week. Denver, at 7-7, is the next closest team. We do not have a bye yet, there are competitors in other places too.

1. Kansas City, 13-3
2. Bengals, 12-4
3. Jags, 11-5
4. Jets, 10-6
5. Steelers, 10-6
6. Ravens, 9-7

We have a blisteringly good defense, and Flemming continues to play just lights out top flight football.


WC Round –

Giants at Chicago
49ers at Seahawks
Ravens at Jags
Steelers at Jets


Baltimore with 27-17
Jets win 16-10
Seahawks 20-3
Bears 30-23


Setting up...


Week 2 –

We host the Ravens
Cincinnati hosts the Jets

Reskins host Seahawks
Falcons host Bears

Can my defense continue to smother folks?

Yes we can. We win 32-24. Appropriately, Flemming is MOM. 3 sacks and a FF. Picks by LB Tubbs and CB Henderson. Swift was 21 of 30, 252, and 2:1. He hit Hatcher for 130 yards and a score, ad RB Abrams for the other TD. Abrams rushed 19 for 79 and a score. 2.5 sacks by Cobb, and 1.5 by De Lane. 4 KRB by Guzy


Atlanta over Chicago, 27-13
Bengals over Jets 27-21
Seattle over Washington 20-14

We do have an injury. Dana Cortez is out for a few weeks, and Henderson will be stepping into the lineup.


Week 3 – Conference Champs

We host Cincinnati

Atlanta hosts Seattle

Is this going to be my first Super Bowl appearance with this generation of the Chiefs? Am I about to make it?

Nope

We lose 16-13.

Had to be Swift right? Well....21 of 39, 0:0, 215 yards ain;t amazing. Barrett rushed for a score, and Abrams had 18 for 101. 2 sacks by Cobb, no picks, no FF, no turnovers at all. Laird and Carlisle with 3 KRB each.

Weak game.

13-3 at the beginning of the fourth, but it was tied at regulation after Cincy scored 10 in the 4th to bring them to 13-13, and then a FG to win it. They willed it.

Atlanta 23, Seattle 7



Super Bowl

Atlanta vs Cincy

Atlanta wins 27-6

Swift was an adequate starter. 3800 yards, 93.8 QB Rating, 27:12 TD:Int ratio. He was fine. I started Rhodes last year hoping he’d grow, but he didn’t but Swift had the QB spot from here until I can secure a real QB or a ufa that I was to try out as Otto Graham

Rushes –

Abrams – 203 for 878, 4.33 ypc, 4 scores
Barrett – 191 for 620, 3.25 ypc, 6 scores
Swift, 67 for 358, 5.34 ypc, 3 scores
WR Hatcher, 9 for 92 2 scores

We had a lot of yards with my Adams and Barrett committee, and Adams was injured too, if you’ll recall. Abrams is better, and I want to give him more of the ball moving forward though

Frederick really caught on as the receiver of choice for Swift this year. We had a lot of noise in the WR corp. With Rhodes, TE Perrone was the key receiver, but he’s not Swift’s. You can see the considerable drop in targets and catches, thus in yards and TDs. We use Hatcher like an athlete, with him as a returner, running reverses, and stretching the field. So he’s always a strong guy, and I like him for it. King was my 4th WR and got nothing. Swift had other targets and never cared. Holbert is the future of this receiving group.

K Fields was 33 of 43, long of 55, 45/45 PAT

Flemming had 20.5 sacks. The next highest in the NFL was 13.5, so he led the league by SEVEN sacks. DE Benton;s 10 sacks, and DE Jacobs finally had a good season. I was afraid he might have busted after he had a poor rookie year, but he came back hard. DE Cobb with a down year, and Sterne looked good. Lane is ironic. He is a run stopping DE with a 26 pass rush tech, and 66 strength. But he got 4 sacks spelling others.

5 picks by CB Felkner and 4 each bu Kaplan, Cortez, Flemming, and Jacobs was a solid year picking the ball. Genderson with 3? Crawford with 2? Clayton with 1? Shea with one? Good stuff. But I was surprised to see Clayton with an All Pro. Why? 1 pick? He led my team with 16 pasdef. And tied two others for most in the league. Just 2 FFs. I don’t know if that was enough, but I’ll take it. Cortez certainly fit in, with 4 picks and 1 returned for a score.


Blocking:

OG Laird – 40 KRB, 0 pancakes, 4 sacks allowed
OG Bodell – 28, 5, and 6 sacks
OG Guzy – 28, 0 and 2 sacks
C Carlisle – 24, 0 and 2
OT Raymond, 9 starts, 13, 0, and 7


Laird was 2nd in the league in KRB, and other than Raymond, reduced sack numbers too, which is nice to see

[Abe Sargent]

The Flemming Watch

Year 3, 3 Defensive Player of the Years:

338 solo tacks, 82 assists
35 sacks
8 locks, 23 hurries, 52 QBKD
12 picks, 35 pas def, 1 INT RT TD
10 FF, 2 FumRec, 1 FR RT TD





Alright, hello 2032 –

Team Perform – 83
Value – 69
Profit – 66
Roster - 68

Score – 71

Hall of Fame – Andrew Luck and OG Ali Marpet are it. Not sure why or how Marpet made it. Low KR numbers, no rings, just 3 All Pros


Value:

19th highest value
5th best roster
9th worst support
12th worst stadium
12th best economy

We made 63 mill
95.3% occupancy


Retirements

We have two. One I think we all saw coming, WR King. The other is OG Bodell, just 31, having a late career renaissance with me, not sure why he retired.

Here, let me show you what I mean with Bodell. Started in 2023. Did not start. In 2024 started 8 games, had 8 KRB. 2025, 16 starts, 21 KRB. Then just 12 the next year. In 2027, 19. Then I arrive in 2028. We have him with 32, 21, 36, and 28, and the 21 was an injury aborted season with just games. He was an All Pro with me in 2030, and never lost a step statistically. Not sure why he would retire at 31.

We’ll have to replace Bodell

Other retirements of note:

QB Dak Prescott, retured as Legend of the Game

RB Floyd Conley, 10836 yards, 75 TDs, 2 All Pros,

SE Blake King – 10417 yards, 3 All Pros, faded by the time I arrived, and just never had a good QB chucking at him. Was always a top 5 or 6 or 7 WR, sort of like a certain Larry Fitzgerald in Arizona.

SE Dustin Wright, 4 rings, former one of my Browns, 3 All Pros, 12874 yards, 86 scores – Hall of Fame? Probably

C Malachi Cortez, 4 All Pros, 414 KRb, 68 pancakes, 35 sacks allowed

DE Michael Carlisle, 135 sacks, 7 All Pros, Def Player of Year in 2024. Definitely Canton bound

SS Devon Reynolds, 6 time All Pro, Def Player of the Year 2022, 38 picks, 147 pasdef,

SS Brandon Carlisle, 5 time AL Pro, 41 picks, 85 pasdef

SS Scottie Kempthorn, one of mine for a while with Cleveland, got a few rings, retired

[Abe Sargent]

Coaches:

I send missives to raise and retain four of my staff

Coach Draft-

We pick 16. I skip HC, I do hire a new OC, Cameron Fleming an O Line specialist with better play calling and some other expertise. I hire AJ Smith as a better AC.


Alright, I have 40 players under contract with these UFas:

QB Snyder
TE Crawford, TE Browse
DE Lane
LT Anderson
C Carlise
ILB Sanderson
ILB Crawford
ILB Tubbs
ILB Lujan
DT Steussie

None of those are taggable.

[CraigSca]

It's a privilege to watch Randall Flemming play the game of football. He will go down as one of the all-time greats.

[Abe Sargent]

2032 Free Agency!

I open FA with 64 mill under the cap, room for 54. That is about to change....

Flemming – 5 years, 143 mill
Clayton – 4 years, 40 mill
DE Benton 3 years, 40 mill
DT Sterne, 3 years, 32 mill
CB Felkner, 4 years, 45 mill


I extend TE Gretsky by two more years, FB Bradford by one, LS Zirn, RB Barrett by 1 year, OG Laird by 1 year,

I am going to keep Kaplan, Henderson, Raymond, in their final year, in case we get better, or they drop in camp or something later

Swift wants real QB money. Nope!

Alright, let’s advance to week 2 and review FA and see what’s too see:

I need:

Starting QB or backup Qb
Backup RB
TEx2 backup
WR backup
Backup OG
OT Starter

I can start OG Duzy in Bodell’s spot. Now I just need an RT again.

Stud younger P only

Backup DE
Backup DT or DE

1 starter LB (Unless I want to move over 57/57 Danieles)
2-3 backup LBs
Backup CB

We have another apair pf studs on defense, CB Enrique Newton, 77/77 guy, and 74/74 DT Noah Downs, 6th year vet. Both in their primes

And we have a few players in their 60s – C, SLB, and MLB and such. Tons of 50s too.

And one feasible QB on the market, QB Arnold Nichols, 32, 56/56, from St Louis, Missouri, drafted by Jags, played there who career, only has 54 starts, and just stared 1 full season in 2029 when he had 3900, 22:11, and such. Never had a career year better than Swift. Sort of like Swift. 1st rounder, neve developed, but backup here and there for later talent to get drafted. Jax drafted a stud, but held onto Nichols as insurance and mentor for years,

He wants real, starter level cash, like 16 mill/year cash

No thanks

There are no good OTs. The best is 51/51 12th year, and then 49/49. I was hoping Bozeman would grow into a starter but he dropped post-draft. Similarly, OG Banks fell a bit again to 27/52. Otherwise I could have slid Guzy back to OT and started him.

I make an offer for 11 mill, 3 years, to RT Damian Valle

There are some better LBs, but they are trouble causers with my leaders, So I make an offer for Crawford to return – 2 years, 7.25 mill


I offer 3 years, 11.5 mill for DE Lane to return

I make an offer for 3 mill, 2 years, for OG Harvey Gibbons

By week 10 they have signed. C Cornelius went to San Francisco, Sanderson to Tampa, Tubbs to San Diego, Lujan to Tampa,

[Abe Sargent]

It's a privilege to watch Randall Flemming play the game of football. He will go down as one of the all-time greats.

I know. I was seriously blessed by the Football Gods with him!

[CraigSca]

Wow, wow, wow, wow! Almost $30m a year for a linebacker?!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2032 NFL Amateur Draft

Now the big question is.....am I getting a QB in this draft? We have five I copped out that are solid. One hit, and four okays. At 30, are they making it to me?

Qbs go picks 1, 3, 6 and....?

That’s it. QB hungry teams don’t tend to draft down the chart. Now here are those I scouted still on the board:

QB Emmett Elliott – Hard to Read, 16 volatility, red core in screen, blue in smarts and agility. The 2nd smartest Qb in the draft, and 3rd fastest left. Bars? Ain;t great

QB Al Fields – As scouted, high 76 volatility, 0 listed accuracy, blue speed and agility, black everywhere else. Other than accuracy, and a low sense rush and read d, very well rounded bars.

Neither are amazing really. This is a very weak draft, so I may just want to take talent rather than a QB that sucks.

LT Axel Kelley? TE Whalen? RT Marquardt? DT Hixon?

I go with Kelley. He’s at need. Not quality, but he’ll work.

2nd round – C Carlos Germain? DT Donnie Newhart? TE Brooks?

A few folks are here I like. I’m going best available, DT Newhart, who looks good, with 4 blues, and a specialist for 3-4 NT stuff. So I take him as a useful backup or trade bait and such. Run stopping specialist.


3rd – CB Howard Mayes
4th – DE Desmond Roberson
5th - C Sandemeyer
6th Round P Derek Grandon – looks like a rock solid stud
7th Round – MLB Owens Miles? WLB Jaffe? I go ILB Orlando Newhart

[Abe Sargent]

Wow, wow, wow, wow! Almost $30m a year for a linebacker?!

When he's that good? Hell's yeah!

How much would you pay for JJ Watt in his prime? To be fair, the cap is 267 mill this year too.

[Abe Sargent]

B+ draft results

Alright, here are my early players:

OT Kelley, 23/67
C Sandmeyer – 26/69
DT Newhart – 33/71
P Grandon 60/69
DE Roberson 27/66
ILB Newhart – 20/48
CB Mayes – 22/39

So some good and some off

The later round ones that look good, like Sandmeyer, are showers not growers, and could be busts later. That’s true of a lot of people here.

This is a weak draft.

Here I will show you –

We gave 2 O Line with 80s – including C Carlos Germain. Should have grabbed him. And 5 more in the 60s. 7 total 60+, across 5 positions. We have two with Kelley and Sandmeyer. We gave 1 D Line in the 80s, 1 in the 70s, 3 in the 60s. We have two with Roberson and Newhart, but again, they may be showers that drop. We have just 1 LB with a 66 potential, no other 60 or higher LBs. We have 4 D Backs with a potential 60 or higher. No QB, other than the top pick, with a potential higher than 53. 1 Rb in the 60s at 62. No FBs. 3 TEs in the 60s. 1 WR at 62 and that’s it. Not what you might normally expect. But that’s what it is.

Two of these players are in my trick to find good talent. Review players who have no combine scores as they were not invited. There are always three or four that have great bars much higher than their rating would suggest. I like to interview them and see what we can see. Both C Sandmeyer and DE Roberson were without combine invites.

Next up:

[Abe Sargent]

2032 Late Free Agency:

Targets:

TE Roosevelt Hammers, 3 years, 5 mills

UFas:

Great P Zack Preston for competition

There’s nothing wrong with P Michi, but he is an expensive, 58/58 old Punter entering his 15th year as a pro. So if I can come across a replacement, especially in weak draft like this one, I;m all in.

RB Theodore Blackburn
MLB Miles Owens – I may have missed on not drafting him, with a 27/59 start
DT Trey Schmidtz
QB Nicholas Delgado
WLB Bryce Jaffe
FS Ben Campbell
RCB Reggie Stevenson
TE Randall Burden
WR Alexander Gardener
RB Dylan Rose


Week 2 – I bring in 7.

Week 3 – 3 more as well

Week 4 – Everybody else joins us

[Abe Sargent]

CAMPING!


We sell 42500 season tix

I cut RB Rose,



Much like Bodell, Laird has had a late career renaissance. He had two All Pros during my time here with the Chiefs. Now he is 32, 10th year in the league, and dropped to 50/50. He’s not even one of my top two guards, even with the retirement of Bodell. I can have Duzy, my best O Line guy, and signee OG Harvey Gibbons as my starters,a nd both are better. Laird is pricey, old, and just 50/50 these days, nothing special.

I cut Laird. It’s time. Thanks for your service!

One of the things I love about Mayes is that he can be my KR and PR specialist for both. Hatcher is getting older, so pulling him off that duty makes a lot of sense.

We finish the preseason 2-2, and we have a few injuries. RB Barrett, S Campbell, and C Tavin Lowe are out.

I cut P Luther Michi, P grandon won the Punter wars with 70/80 ability post-camp and playing. Good stuff from him

I cut disappointment OT Bozeman

Rookie Sandmeyer grew to 37/75 in preseason and I will start him moving forward.

Rookie DT Newhart is saucy with 36/67 left. Ah well. Sometimes showers boomed, like Sandmeyer, and others faded. And we have 35/63 DE Roberson who looks hot to trot too. I may have movement on my D Line later.

Undrafted FA LB Jaffe has risen twice to 34/60. Newhart fell to 23/40. Owens dropped to 28/47. I cut 7th round pick Newhart

I cut DT Schmidtz and FS Ben Campbell. In camp, FS Kaplan, a 10th year vet, dropped to 47.47, and I started FS Allen from last year’s draft, and he rose to 39/60. I’m going to start Allen this year.

I cut CB Stevenson and my QB and I head into the season with just 2 QBs on my roster, Swift and Rhodes. I also have one more D Line than normal with my 3-4 team, due to the recent talent invasion there.

Here’s Flemming in year 4, as with all players by current value. Flemming is the highest at 92. He is the best player in the league, period.

https://s11.postimg.org/4jbx1q7xv/Flemm_year_4.png

[Abe Sargent]

I extend:

K Elijah Fields by 3 years, 15 mill

Won’t be extending starters Raymond, Henderson, Kaplan, Swift or backups CB Tubbs, SE Whalen, or RB Willis

My prediction for this year?

12-4, #2 seed, make it to the Super Bowl and lose.

Note some talent has dropped, like TE Perrone or WR Frederick, as well as the new youth of FS Allen and C Sandmeyer and LT Axel Kelley.

Kelley may not have been the sexiest pick, and there may have been better players on the board, but getting a solid 60s Lt in the 1.30 spot is good value. We had some booming in camp with rookies, here let me show you, we were not the only ones:

https://s7.postimg.org/ldyfow3ej/Rookies_by_Potentials.png

Here are my rookies by potential. See the TE booms? Think I had a good draft? Check out Tennessee’s! They freaking broke this draft. Players on the board when I took Kelley included FS Henshaw, C Germain, TE Brooks, and such. Kelley is fine though. Other than QB Pancake, the stud in the draft taken 11, all fo the QBs in the draft fell and only one is at 50+ potential. Glad I went safe with Kelley there.

I can see Kelley being a potential long term starter for me at LT, as well as Duzy and Sandmeyer.

[Abe Sargent]

Week 1- Just like last year when we barely edged out our 1st week foe by a point, we do the same today, 24-23 over the Chargers. MOM is Swift with 23 of 31, 230 and 3:1. He his RB Abrams 2x and Frederick once for TDs. Hatcher catch 108 yards on the day. Pick by Cortez, FF by DE Cobb, and 4 KRB by Duzy.

C Devin Lowe returns from injury

Week 2 – We have a bad win. We’ll talk about this alter and the injuries that came with it. MOM is Flemming – 2 picks, 1 returned for as core, and 3 sacks. We won16-10 over the Bucs. Swift was 19 of 38, 188 and 1:2, and hit rookie FL Gardener for a TD> Pick by CB Felker too.

And injuries. These plaeyrs are out:

FS Allen
DE Lane
OT Raymond

Starting for them is Kaplan, no one he was a sub,and Lowe

Week 3 – We lose 23-20 in OT to the Bengals. Pick by Cortez, 4 KRB by Duzy, Swift was 25 of 34 for 234 and 1:2 and rushed for a score. He hit WR Holbert for the other.

Another injury. FB Bradford is out for 12 weeks. I deactivate him. I start TEs and RB Willis in his spots

Week 4 – We beat the Jets 28-17. MOM is Swif with 21 of 32, 215 and 4:0. He hits WR Curtis Holbert for 3 TDs and HB Abrams for 1. Abrams adds 19 for 109 on the ground, 2 picks by backup S Franz, and 1 by Flemming. FF by Shea, recovered by Sterne. 3 KRB by Sandmeyer, Gibbons and 4 by Duzy

No injury updates

[Abe Sargent]

Week 5 – We barely lose to Oakland 34-31 . MOM is DE Cobb with 4 sacks. Picks by Henderson and Cortez. 1 FF by S Kaplan, and another by LB Jacobs. Felker recovered one. Swift was 32 of 46, 310, and 3:2, hitting TE Perrone, RB Abrams, and WE Hatcher for scores. Abrams added a score on the ground. 4 KRB by Gibbons, 3 by Duzy

Week 6 – BYE FOLKS

RB Barrett is back from his injury. As is FS Allen.

Week 7 -We host and crush the previously undefeated pats 34-13. Swif, MOM, is 23 of 33, 246, 4:0, and hit Abrams, Barrett, Holbert and Hatcher for scores. Abrams had 24 for 110 on the ground. Picks by Felker, Jacks and S Allen. Just 1 sack on the day. 5 KRB by Sandmeyer and 3 by Duzy


Week 8 – We surprisingly manage to not lose vs 1 win Miami 26-21. MOM is Flemming with 2 sacks, 2 FF. Another FF by Jacobs, and a pick by Cortez. Swift? 21 of 31, 178, 2:1. Frederick and Holbert with the scores. Dana Abrams is 25 for 132 and 1 on the ground. 5 KRb by Lowe, 4 by Gibbons.


Week 9 – We have a big challenge coming up – the 6-1 Broncos. We win 20-17 in a very important game. Swift is MOM with 26 of 33, 237 and 2:1 and hit WR Fredericka ndn TE Hammers for TDs. CB Henderson and LB Crawford with picks. FF by LB Sam Danieles. 4 KRB by Kelley, 3 by Gibbins and Sandmeyer

Now we have a sad injury. Going into this game. DE Cobb was leading my team in sacks, but he was injured, and will be out for a few weeks. Rookie Roberson will start for him until his return.

[Abe Sargent]

Week 10 – We are a 7-2 team heading into 0-9 Buffalo. Obvious who wins? Well, we do, but barely, 13-9. MOM is Flemming with a pick and 3 sacks. But to my mind, the MOM is DT Lenny Sterne, who recovers a fumble, returns it for a score, and that’s our lone TD. 5 FF from my LBs – 2 each by Shea, Flemming and 1 by Danieles. This was not Swift’s day. 16 of 23, 0:2.

Week 11 – We beat the 6-3 Chargers 24-6. MOM is DE Benton with 4.5 sacks. That’s a lot of sacks. 3 KRB each by Guzy, Kelley, and Sandmeyer. INT by CB Felker. Swift was 22 of 35, 230 and 2:0 and hit Holbert and TE hammers for scores.

OT Raymond is back from injury and starts again. DE Lane returns too.

Week 12 – Another major contest arrives. The 8-2 Panthers are the next challenge. Challenge failed. We lose 27-17. We had Jacobs and Benton each with 2 sacks, 4 FF and 2 recoveries by my defense, and even Swift was pick-less with an uneven 25 of 36, 167, and 1:0. Barrett caught the score. Abrams rushed for a TD too. But we were +2 on TOs on the day and lost. That’s not a formula for success.

DE Cobb retruns from his injury


Week 13 – We beat the hapless Jags 31-13. Swift is your MOM with 22 of 35, 232 and 3:0, and rushed 8 for 66 and another score. Frederick, Hammers and Hatcher with the TD Catches. Shea has a pick.2 sacs by Benton and Cobb. Guzy and Raymond with 3 KRb each.

No injury news

We are 9-3 heading into the final stretch.

[Abe Sargent]

Week 14 - We have the 7-5 Falcons next on our schedule. We lose 20-27. Abrams did a good job in a losing match, 23 for 122, 1 score, and he caught our score. Swift was 22 of 26, 306, and 1:1. Perrone was 99 yards. No turnovers, just 1 sacks, (Flemming of course) and 5 KRB by Gibbons and 3 by Duzy

A few of our players got knocked questionable – Hatcher, Sterne, and Lane.

Week 15 – Another big game arrives, the 8-5 Broncos. We lose 14-13. Nicky Cobb oddly had a pick. Swift was 29 of 45 for 270 and 1:0. TE hammers with the catch, CB Tubbs got a FF and Recovered it too. 2 sacks by Benton and Jacobs.

No major injury news. But those two losses are bad. We had a two game lead on the AFC that now melted. These are the teams at 9-5 in the AFC right now with two weeks to go:

Kansas City
Denver
Cleveland
Pittsburgh
Houston
San Diego

And three more teams are 8-6. So it’s very, very tight. We could win our last two games, finish 11-5, and be handed a wild card at best. I have two teams in the AFC West I have to face down.


Week 16 – We host the 4-9 Saints. It’s almost like a bye with our 30-10 victory. Abrams is MOM with 28 for 145 and 2 scores on the ground. Swift was 19 of 35, 169, and 1:1 and hit Hammers. Picks by Flemming and Henderson. FF by Cobb. LB Danieles with 2 sacks. 5 KRB by Duzy, and 3 by Raymond and Gibbons.

No major injury updates. We are 10-5...

Cleveland and Pittsburgh face each other in week 17, that should knock one down. We finish with the Raiders while the Broncos and Chargers should knock out another. Houston lost. So I have a shot here. Hold my serve against the Raiders.

Week 17 – We win 32-17. MOM is Swift with 18 of 26, 196 and 0:0 and Abrams, 24 for 87, 2 scores. Pick returned for a score by.. DE Nicky Cobb. FF by Sterne that he recovered, another by Crawford. 4 KRB by Guzy, 3 by Gibbons

The Championships

We host the #4 seed 8-8 Jets

Carolina hosts the Vikings




Carolina 34-28 over the Vikes...

And....


13 by us.....

9 by the Browns.

We are in...but we have two major injuries, so get ready.


MOM is Flemming. 17 tackles and 2 sacks. Cobb with 2 too, and Guzy with 3 KRB. Abrams was 17 for 82. But our QB was 17 of 25, 120 and 1:0, hitting TE Hammers of a score.

But that QB? Not Ben Swift...

Swift was injured on the 2 drive of the game, and Rhodes replaced him.

Our other injury is dimeback CB Tubbs. I replace Tubbs. And Swift. I put Tubbs on IR and sign...

QB Jordan Endzell, 35/46 3rd year guy. Kelley is still doubtful, so I deactivate him.


The 2032 NFL Super Bowl


Your AFC Champion, #1 seed 11-5 Kansas City Chiefs

Vs

Your NFC Champion #1 seed 13-3 Carolina Panthers

We met earlier this year and if you’ll recall, we lost 17-27... will that happen here?

This is my first Super Bowl in 5 years with the Chiefs. And we’ve been hot a lot. But I’m down a QB and a LT. What are the panthers down? One starting quality 60s level LB.

Alright...


Will this be the Comeback of Rhodes?

No, it won’t be Rhodes’ day.

17 for 25, 126 yards, 0:0. And they hold Abrams down too – 13 for 50. Rhodes adds 30 yards rushing and we had 80 yards rushing total.

Was this a dominant day by my LB Force? Flemming? Jacobs? Nope. Did my D Line force them down and keep them from doing anything. No. We had a single sack on the day.

They score four times. All field goals, but 12 points in a game like this is enough to win. We only managed 2 FGs for six points.................

See, you know that big name signee I made last year? CB Dana Cortez? He got a pick, returned it for a score! He just got Super Bowl MVP and won us the game

Again, not bad stats from Swift. Sure, I’d like a real Qb. We all would, but not bad. I

Compare Swift to Arledge. Arledge was 48/48 at best, had great numbers. Better yards, better rating, better TD:rating and awards, like All Pros. Swift is 55/5 and can’t catch a break. Both had the same level of receivers. Guys in high 50s or low 60s. Lat year, Swift was sacked 25 times, this year 44. Not a good sign.


Rushing?

Abrams was 313 for 1293 yards, 8 rushing scores, 4.13 ypc Pretty solid

As you can see, Abrams led my team in catches with 83 and 556 yards and 5 scores. Swift checked that ball down. 113 targets? Crazy. No one else looks good here. I feel like Perrone started the season as the primary TE target and then Hammers moved in later.

CB Mayes was 46 for 488 and 10.6 PR and 26 for 656 abd 25,2 KR. 5th best KR Avg.

Whoa. 15 sacks by Benton, then 13.5 and 12.5. I thought Jacobs was rope for All Pro. He was 3rd in sacks among LBs. Benton was 3rd in league in sacks, Flemming 4th, and then Jacobs tied for 8th. SS Clayton led the team in tackles for the first time in Flemming’s tenure.

Hmmm. 5 picks by Flemming. He led all LBs in picks. We have 7, two 6s, and 4 5s in the league in INTS this year. I felt Cortez was so close to his first All Pro, just couldn’t get another pick. Flemming had 6 FF and led the league with 17 pasdef.

[Abe Sargent]

The Flemming Watch –

4 time Defensive Player of the Year:

445 solo tack, 109 assists
48.5 sacks, 8 blocked passes, 34 hurries, 69 QBKD
16 FF, 2 Rec, 1 FR TD
17 picks, 2 INT RET TD, 52 pasdef


Team Awards

Off. Player of the Year: RB Dana Abrams. My first, solid RB year here for the Chiefs, had the best receiving year of any back in the NFL, plus a 1200+ rushing year, and an All Pro to show for it. Good job Abrams!

Defensive Player of the year: DE Amos Burton. Sorry Flemming, gotta eventually go with someone else! Burton led my team in sacks and notched his first All Pro doing so. Thanks Amos!

Special Teams Player of the Year: P Derek Grandon – I took a bit of a risk by drafting him when I had a solid 58/58 guy on my squad, but I think we’re all happy now!

Rookie of the Year: C Randall Sandmeyer -A 1st round highly touted OT gets drafted and starts year 1, no surprise. A 5th year OC does and it’s something. And Sandmeyer made it rain KRBs without being a sack-sieve.

Heart Award: CB Henderson – He lost a step. He was demoted to Nickelback two years ago. And yet this aging wonder had 1.5 sacks, 3 picks, and 7 pasdef. He gets results. Thanks Damon!

[Abe Sargent]

Free Agency 2033

What to do with my two stars – Guzy and Jacob?

I’m about 50 mill under the cap, with space for players at 40.

Jacobs wants 150 mill and 5 years

Guzy wants 5 years, 82.5 mill

Both want a lot of cash

It’d be about 30ish mill to extend both more on my cap this year. I don’t have a lot of cap space left if I do.

I extend Rhodes by two more years while I think about it.

I extend Cobb by three years, drop his hit this by 5 mill to help

Okay, who else is out there that I need to extend? I did like OG Harvey Gibbons. This was his first year starting for anyone, he’s a solid 61/61 guy, young, he wants 3 years and 20 million. And I feel like I can always find solid guards. There are multiple OGs in the mid 50s in FA, as well as folks I can draft or groom for a starting role. And I can finish out his contract this year, and then move next, or even make a play later. For now, I’m not moving on Gibbons.

RB Barrett and Abrams are in their final year. I extend Barret by one year, but Abrams, as you may expect, wants serious cash.

I extend backup SS Franz for another year. He’s my secondary leader. WR Frederick has dropped to 48/48. I can extend his deal to 3 years, 16 mill, and drop his cap hit to 6.4 this year, and then 5.5 next two. But if I cut the 31 year old dropping WR< I save 7 mill this year. That’s a lot of cash I’m freeing up.

I extend LB Sam Danieles to 4 years, 14 mill. He grew to 57/57, and is my defensive front leader. I am going to try him in the middle starting with Shea/Jacobs/Flemming to help out. I want to keep DT Stuart and LT Skae, but one is too expensive and the other doesn’t like me right now due to a lack of playing time. Ah well.

I extend CB Moschetti by 1 year.

I sign Guzy to 5 mill, 80 years, flat cap of 13 mill for each year after this one until the last. He is the 2nd best OG in football. The 3rd and 5th best are with the Browns, and I drafted them. Remember Lucas Lucas and Wayne Croom? He had the best year for my club, and had a career equal to some players I’ve had when they had All Pros from the O Line.

I sign these RFAs:

QB Endzell, RB Blackburn, SE Gardener, LB Jaffe, Miles

What do I need:

Starting QB
OG
OT
WR
TE
RB
FB?
LB?
CBx2
S

I could use a very, very good WR, or CB, or OG/OT.

Alright, let’s head to week 2

[Abe Sargent]

Anyone I like and wanna make an offer to in UFA?

The best FB in the league, 5th year vet, 70/70 Chad Eckard is there, wants 5 mill/year. Wanna spend 84 mill for 4 years for Swift? I don’t! There are a few players I like. But I want to see how close the Jacobs deal gets us...

5 years, 150.5 mill, with cap hits of 26, 23, 24, 34, and 44.

Without releasing WR Frederick, that puts us at 16 mill under the cap and room for 7 mill, with 45 players on our team right now under contract.

I have a bit of an issue with my O Line Valle has become my leader and there’s some conflicts. I may have to look at that later.

Chase LB Clinton? Another leader helper?

I don’t have the cash, and I don’t have the need to cut Frederick yet, right?

Well, why not chase a WR in FA that’s better than Frederick and can be that immediate swap? That’s Trenton Logan, 51/51, 27 years old, wants 3 years, and 15 mill. I’d only save 2.5 mill this year, and then be tied to his deal for two more Any WRs in the draft or anything I think could be here at 1.32? Nope, this is a pretty weak WR draft. So I could basically sign Logan and cut Frederick, cut Frederick and sign other players, or punt and worry about WR next year. Nah. We need to bring in another body.

I make Logan the offer.

I go ahead and cut Frederick, so I can chase the leaders at other spots. I make offers to LB Rickey Clinton, 2 years, 4 mill and LT KC Fletcher, 1 year, 3.5 mill that Banks and Guzy just love.

Week 2 – OT Raymond signs with the Bucs. Swift signs a mega-del for 150 mill over 5 years with the Saints.

Week 7 – We sign OT Fletcher and WR Logan, the best WR in FA. FS Kaplan heads ot the Saints

Week 9 – We sign our LB Clinton too.

We have 47 players under contract, 12 mill in cap space, just 3 mill after the draft.

Draft time!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2033 NFL Draft

We have a lot of QBs in the 5 or 6 ratings in the draft, and I scouted 8 of them with interviews. A few come back underrated, like QB Elias Tamm that I like with good combines, low bars, but good interview. We’ll see what happens, but drafting 1.32 is always rough.

I still need 2 DBacks, 1 WR, 1 backup TE, 1 RB, 1 starting QB, and 1 OG to develop as a starter is okay too.

Alright here we go!

Buffalo gets us started off with CB from San Jose State Donovan Daniels at the 1.1 spot.

An absolute stud WR falls to 1.23, but I don’t trade up, because I want to keep my ammo for Tamm if he’s there.

He is. But he’s 3 Qbs down the list. Wil he fall to me at 2.32?

I gamble. I love CB Cooks here, he seems like a major player. Grabbing him gives me a future force at the CB spot while also securing my future there. I could also take the unsexy but feasible OG Turner

Cook is the better talent, and it’s hard to draft quality Cbs due to their demand, I can get Guards all day long. I take Cook.

Not another QB goes until pick 59 to the Texans. Tamm is close. But yes, he makes it. Now, next question – Can I get him at 3.32? By now, most of the teams that want a QB will have taken one, right? And Tamm is still one down.

This is a draft deep with RBs. There is a solid RB here too still on the board, even after 5 were taken in the 1st and another 4 in the 2nd.

Hmmmm...

I can’t, in good conscience, pass up Tamm again.

I take Tamm. Sorry Riley Konrad!

Washington goes QB at 3.2, and could have Tammed it up, who knows.

Well shit. Konrad is still on the board at 3.32. Just 2 RBs went in the 3rd until now. Alright, well join us!

I’ll see you in the 4th.

Alright I’m going to gamble on another grower. WR Caiden Martin. Red speed, red agility, blue PSpec and smarts. Black and fine strength. Not good bars. But hey, it’s the end of the 4th, so whatever.


5.32 TE Jason lluellyn – Total BPA
6.32 LT Thurman McDaniel – Depth
7.32 ILB Tyler Hopkins - Depth

[Abe Sargent]

Here we go:

CB Cook – 33/69, TE Lluellyn 28/56, QB Tamm 19/55, RB Konrad – 43/53, LB Hopkins 25/52, OT McDaniel – 16/50, SE Martin 22/35,

I have 6 mill left post-draft

B- Grade

Late Free Agency


Who do I still need?

Dana Abrams is holding out. Dana Abrams may not be long for this team. He;s a 7th year vet, with a 54/54 rating, already like 4 worse than we I signed him, who, to be fair, had a nice year last year leading my team in both receptions and rushing, and that’s why I liked Konrad, he’s a good receiving back.

I don’t have the cap space, or the inclination, to give him the jump and long term security he wants. He’s getting 4.5 mill this year in the cap, so that’s not chump change.

The Colts have cut some players they drafted and didn’t sign and I make an offer to one, as well as my normal litany of quality UFAs. I’ll tell you later if any stick.

Week 1 – We sign three. CB Henderson heads to Cleveland and CB Tubbs to Chicago.

Week 3 – We are good to go!

Time for a little camp action....

[Abe Sargent]

I cut TE Gretsky. He’s dropped to 47, 10th year vet, would be 3rd or 4th on my chart, and my rookie grew and looks to move to my top 3 easily, which would bump Gretsky down. Might as well cut him

I trade C Tevin Lowe to the Titans for their 5th rounder next year. He’s good, developed, but I can’t resign him, and I have a logjam and I need to clear him out. Good luck Lowe!

I trade DT Stuart to the Cowboys for their 4th and 6th in 2035. Again, too many D Line, he’s expensive to retain, I start just one DT, and I just signed a solid rookie from the Colts draft they didn’t retain.

We win the preseason dominatingly. 4-0, with wins in there like 33-0 and 27-3.

Abrams is still holding out.

I have a few rookies that grew:

QB Tamm is now 27/60
TE Lluellyn is now 34/64
WR Martin didn’t move at all. Stupid grower not-growing and a shower in Lluellyn actually growing. McDaniel the same too. Same with LB Hopkins
CB Cook dropped to 35/60. Not great. I was hoping we’d finish in the 65/65 area or some such.

Cook is still the the 3rd best CB in the draft with a future of 60 and was the best on the board. The 1.1 is 53/71, and another is 51/67 from the mid 1st. So with those off, Cook is still better than these others.

TE Hammers busted to 41/41.

So the loss of Gretsky and Hammers at the same time I finally got lucky with a TE booming is intriguing to me.

I wish I had moved up. I could have converted that 1.32 from the adequate Cook to a WR that’s just on fire who went 1.23. But ah well. Around 1.20 I felt he had fallen too far and thought about a trade, due to my need at the position. But I stayed pat because I thought QB Tamm might fall, and getting a real QB, hopefully, for the first time ever would be authentically nice.

Tamm or Rhodes? I was intending Rhodes. He’s 44/52, and Tamm 27/60. But Tamm grew, needs the dev time, and I doubt the difference in their play would be that noticeable. Remember this is studly defense. I have All Pro Des at both spots and an All Pro DT. I have the best player in the league with Flemming, and then the 3rd best LB in Jacobs, and 9th in Shea. SS Clayton is a 2x All Pro, CB Cortez is great, and you’ve seen that CB Felker can hold his own all day long. Allen has risen to 54/61 so we are good to go, Idaho, with Tamm unleashed.

Barrett busted a little, so we are leaning on him and Konrad until Abrams returns.

Week 1 – We take on the powerful Broncos, and barely manage to beat them 28-27. Who is the MOM Get ready....

QB Elias Tamm, 26 of 38, 291 yards, 4:1. He his WR Logan our new signee and 3rd WR on the roster, Holbert, WR Hatcher and WR Gardener each for a score. So all of our active QBs got in on the scoring. Konrad was 23 for 96.

No picks. 1 FF by Sterne, recovered by S Franz. Just 3 sacks on the day, 3 KRB by Sandmeyer.

But this game was about Tamm. We clearly have a better class of player there at the QB spot than before.

We win 16-10 over the Browns. MOM is DE Nicky Cobb with 2.5 sacks and a FF. 4 KRb by Sandmeyer. Pick by FS Allen. Konrad was 19 for 67, and no scores. Tamm was really thrown with a 22 of 36 for 201 and 1:3. One of those picks was returned for a score, their only TD. But we managed to overcome it. Holbert with the TD catch. We have the defense that can overcome that sort of a performance.

Panthers won 47-14.


The 2033 NFL Super Bowl

Your #1 Seed AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs, 14-2

Vs


Your #1 Seed NFC Champion Carolina Panthers, 12-4

Ready?

I had no major injuries...



They open with a TD and a FG in the first quarter, to go up 10-0.

Then early in the 2nd they get a PR TD and it’s 17-0.

Then Konrad rushes for a score with 10 minutes left in the half. Flemming picks them off, and we get a FG, then another with a minute left and it’s 13-17 at the half

To open the 2nd half we drive and get another FG to bring us to 1.

We force them 3 and out and then drive for a while, and WR Gardener grabs a score from Tamm at the 7:07 mark in the 3rd quarter to put us up 23-17

They may have opened with 17 straight, but we answered with 23 straight.

They manage a FG in the early stanza of the 4th and its’23-20 us

We are stymied, but then as they drive, we get another pick – this time by FS Allen, who returns it 34 yards to put us in a good position, with 9 minutes left

But Tamm throws a pick to TO it back over just a few plays later. They drive and score a TD with 5 minutes left.

27-23 them

Tamm moves slowly, and they stop us from doing anything down field, and eventually, he takes a risky throw with 30 second left and it’s his 3rd Pick and game

We lose 27-23

Tamm – 22 for 48, 267 and 1:3
Kaplan, 22 for 88, 1 TD
Flemming, 1 Pick
Allen – 1 Pick

No miracle win for the rookie Tamm


Ah well.

You can see Tamm here. 20 sacks and 3 fumbles too. He started well, and then slowed down at the end while Konrad was doing the opposing. He had 1900 yards in the first 7 games, but just 1900 in the next 9. Still, a 26:9 ratio, a 96.0 rating, and great stats everywhere shows that we finally have someone who tossing the rock who is at least good.


Rushing:

Konrad – 367 for 1559, 4.25 ypc, 10 rush scores, 56 catches, 415 yards, 2 rec scores

He almost had 2000 yards from scrimmage, and a strong season. He had the must rushing yards by 150 and tied for 2nd most rush scores. Tamm was like, 10th most pass yards and 6th best QB rating and such. But Konrad led the league in a major stat at his position. So I think the wrong offensive player won that award.


Did we just add Dak Prescott and Zeke in one draft?

Unfortunately, still no 1000 yard seasons. Holbert and Parrone both had a lot of catches. We are running a West Coast style, but I feel like we need a little more push. Anyways you can see the results there. Notice the very even TPct of players on the roster. After Perrone and Holbert,, and to a lesser degree Logan, everyone gets the same number of targets. Perrone is targeted a lot more than he is catching, so hopefully Lluellyn will grow into a better catcher.

Blocking:

Gibbons – 53 KRB, 4 pancakes, 6 sacks allowed -2nd most KRB in league.
Sandmeyer – 45 KRB, 3 and 1. The most KRB by a C in the league, 7th most overall
Guzy – 32, 2 and 1.
Kelley – 31, 3 and 6
Valle – 29, 3 and 6

Those are, frankly, some of the best blocking numbers one of my teams has ever done. We also had lowered sacks. Just 20 sacks on the season for young QB. And that helped with the numbers here. Totally deserved All Pros for Sandy and Gibbons. And Gibbons had the sort of season I don’t see outside of true studs like Marquis Satre (a stud OG from another dynasty)


CB Mayes – 2 PR RET TD, 60, 9.8 avg; 23 KR, 25.2 avg
K Fields – 33 of 42, 41 of 44 PAT.
P Grandon – 78 punts, 48.8 avg, 25 in 20


I am very upset at Fields. That’s way too may PATs and short range Ks to miss, including missing a 39 yarder to win the game.

Cobb almost led the league in sacks. He was leading until the final week, when someone got to 15. But hey, 14 sacks and another All Pro for the guy. Flemming with another 12, and Jacobs got another 10 as well. DT Sterne, despite only playing in 13 games, had some quality results. ILB Shea led my team in tackles this year, and Clayton and Flemming eased back.

You can see that Flemming again led my team in picks, as well as all LBs, and only 3 people had more in the league. 11 PasDef also leads my team, and 3rd most among LBs in the league. Meanwhile, Clayton and Jacobs each notched a trio, although Jacobs didn’t get any pasdef, while Shea did. You can see the results of a 3-4 here. All of my LBs have at least 2 picks, but just one CB and S do. Although Allen’s string of picks in the postseason is pretty sexy.

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards:

Offensive Player of the Year: OG Gibbons. Dude had an All Pro year, and with two 7 KRB games was clearly the class of the line. Good job Gibbons!

Defensive Player of the Year: DE Cobb. Back leading my team in sacks, and getting another All Pro selection. Good job Nicky!

Special Teams Player ot Year: CB Mayes – 2 separate PR TDs is a pretty special year. Good job Mayes!

Rookie of the Year: RB Riley Konrad – I’ve already expounded on why. Dude deserved it.

Heart Award: TE Hammers – Until the injury to my rookie, Hammers was 3rd on my depth chart, and then wound up 2nd, and dropped in skill to a 40 guy, and yet had 4 scores and a solid catching game this year. Thanks buddy!


The Flemming Watch:

5 Year Defensive Player of the Year:

536 solo tackles, 134 assists
60.5 sacks, 11 blocks, 49 hurries, 88 QBKD
22 Ints, 3 INT TD, 63 pasdef
18 FF, 5 Fum Rec, 1 FR TD


There are CBs who start for 10 years, and are considering pretty sold who don’t retire with those coverage numbers. There are DEs who rush and do well and are considered solid who never get 60 sacks in a career. That’s just crazy. The Flemming Continues.

Staff

I make no changes prior to the draft. We pick 15th.

Do I want to move off West Coast? Chad Henne is available as a top flight OC that has spread. Am I a spread team? I don’t think yet. Anyways, I skip selecting anyone and keep my old staff

Ticket prices up

I have just one player on UFA I’d like to keep, OG Gibbons, but tagging him is silly. I’ll just try and sign him later. I missed out. Had I extended him last year, I could have gotten him for around 6-7 mill a year, but now, my guess is he’d be a lot pricier.

[Abe Sargent]

Let’s take a look at FA!

Roster Needs:

Backup – RBx2, TE, OT/G, S
Starter – Maybe WR, OG, maybe OT for Valle, Maybe CB if Cook can’t rise to the occasion now that Felker dropped
LS


Let’s look at the draft first. Anyone there for my needs? OG? WR? OT? CB? This is a S and CB heavy draft. I find a few OTs I like too. I’d be happy to take a Axel Kelley here at 1.31. They won’t all be mega-hits who fall, like a Cook or a Kelley, but you can still uncover talent. Actually, about 4 OGs I like too. And the 4th WR on the board is sexy too after I interview him. We should have options. Back to FA

I have 30 mill in cap space, 18 mill to sign stuff.


Now I am lucky. How? Great question! Well, the year after my Duzy/Jacobs selections of awesomeness, I didn’t have any major players I drafted. Here are the ones entering their final year:

SE Holbert
C McCarthy
OG Banks
LB Shea
FS Allen

None of those are must-signs. All of those have disappointed to one degree Banks and McCarthy, or another, Holbert not growing enough. Here is what they would each want

SE Holbert – 4 years, 43 mill
C McCarthy - years, 9 mill
OG Banks – 2 yeas, 3 mill
LB Shea – 82 mill, 5 years - nope
FS Allen – 2 years, 6 mill


Now, Shea wants a ton of cash for just being good, but he really didn’t play like it. He’s a 73/73 ILB I got in the 2.23 spot because he fell, and I play him a lot, but he’s more of a tackling run-stopper with some value elsewhere. Now, if he wanted 5-6 mill a year, I’d sign him. But there is no way that I can pay him that money. I could trade him while he’s hot. A 4th year LB that good? I should, ideally, have people feasting from the generosity of my hands. I shop him

In 2036, a few years down the road, I trade my 3rd rounder and Shea for the Vikings 1st rounder. Shea is young, he’s the 8th best LB in the league, you can lock him down for a while. That’s pretty saucy for Minnesota,, and they drop back two rounds to get him.

Right now I have Crawford free, and I could make a play for him in FA, and then keep my options open in the draft

I resign a few of my RFA. I’d like to resign Gardener, but dude wants real money, like 6 mill over 3 years.

I make an offer to Brad Stepanovic, a great 98 snapping LS.


Week 4 – Crawford heads to {Pittsburgh. He wanted too much cash.

Week 8 – Gibbons heads to Texans for 3 years, 36 mill

Week 10 – Our LS Target signs

Time for drafting!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2034 NFL Amateur Draft

Denver starts us off with S Dillon Buchans of U Minnesota.

The target I like that I think might fall are WR Hunter Gorham, OG Jim Robinette, and OT Roderick Lane. But the one player I likes a lot is Hunter Gorham. I want him badly. He was the 4th on the board, and after I used my 4th interview on him, I was sold.

WR Hunter Gorham – blue in dash at 4.39, SOLE with 31, strength with 15 reps, red agil, and blue spec drills. Blue or red in every assessed combine stat. Came back underrated. Already has great looking bars and stats, with low volatility. I really think Gorham can be something

Let’s head to 1.31 and take a look and see who went where:

Robinette on the board, Lane went 9th the 49ers. Hunter? Still on the board.

He has good stats, underrated, and has everything you’d want. In fact, I think he’d go very high in a multiplayer league, especially one of the earlier games where having a WR was the most important position out there, and this guy would go 1.1 in some of them.

Here, let me show you a quick snippet of Hunter Gorham, on the board at 1.31

https://s2.postimg.org/cykv0ui2x/Gorham_and_the_Draft.png

I pulled up both Gorham’s card and the draft so you can see where we are. Actually, hold on, let me pull up Robinette so you can see who I liked here too. There I resaved it for you. Robinette is a nice pick up here. Robinette had 1 red, three blues, and 1 normal in smarts. He;d be ikely fine, and great bars. But as I’ve said before, you can get internal O Line talent later, you can’t get a high quality WR like Gorham this often. With my young Qb that looks pretty solid, I can’t not take Gorham.

So I snag him

[Abe Sargent]

2nd arrives – RT Gabriel Benton? LG Stuart Lane? TE Downs?

All three are solid. Set aside Downs. Lane or Benton? I’m going Lane because he’s from WVU!

3rd – SS Wally van Pelt
4th CB Calvin Stephenson
5th – TE Glen Perry
5th - DE Banks – How is Enrique Banks still in the draft? He’s on the opening screen of talent in that shot I took of the draft. This is silly, I’ma take him.
6th – LB Barry Stine
7th LB Marco Ballard – I actually interviewed him. He has sole super high, and good bars, low rating, and no combine numbers. So he wasn’t on other radars. Will he be a diamond in the rough for me like Crawford or Danieles?



Alrighty!

Early looks –

SE Gorham – 38/73
DE Banks – 21/61
LB Ballard – 20/57
LB Stine – 16/56
TE Perry – 24/51
G Lane – 25/49 – Yuck.
CB Stephenson – 26/48 – Yuck
S Wally van Pelt – 21/43 – Yuck

Ah well. My draft had a good 1st and later rounds, but maybe the 2-4 drafts weren’t hot. Ah well.

[Abe Sargent]

I have 20 mill in cap space post draft, and 55 players on muh roster

A measure to move Tampa to Portland failed.

We have a B grade

Late FA –

I’m a little surprised that a certain WR isn’t holding out. But thanks Colbert!

Who do I want post-draft?

I offer a 4 year, 10 mill contract to young OT Aaron Byrne, from Cleveland, who has an affinity for my leader, Guzy.

QB Chuck Roberts, grizzled veteran, 3 time All Pro, 38 years old, Mentor, dropped a lot, want him for mentoring the QB spot

2.5 mill, 2 years, LB Alexander Roberts

4 UFAs too

Week 1 – I sign Roberts

Week 2 - 3more arrive

Week 3 – Everybody arrives. We have 62 players heading into camp

[Abe Sargent]

CAMP

We sell 48,400 season tickets.


I cut QB Endzell,

Now I had, for the first time ever with the Chiefs, an undrafted QB actually get better in camp – Corey Callaway. He went from 43 pot to 49. Is he a grower? We’ll see after camp. I was just going to blow up the league with wins since I wasn’t getting a good undrafted QB, but we clearly have a juggernaut here. If Callaway winds up growing more, then I might be interested in having a conversation about swapping Tamm for Callaway in a year or too. Right now Tamm is 45/60 and my best QB option ever for the Chiefs. I have had a rotisserie of QBs starting for me – Rhodes, Guymon, Tamm, and Swift. And I’d be willing to commit to Callaway early enough to trade Tamm in a year or two when he’s mostly developed and ready to reap big trade potential.

Since I couldn’t find a good OT in the draft, OT Byrne will start for Valle and is my new RT starter.

I extend OG Banks by a year, and then hand the OG spot to my rookie OG for preseason to see if he can grow.

QB Rhodes is demanding a trade. Even if I trade him now, I have my starter, my backup vet, and a potential Callaway. I upgrade my 3rd in ’37 to the Cleveland 1st to send them Rhodes. Rhodes ain;t no joke. He’s the 18th best QB in the league by current ability and 21st by potential. If you were a Qb starved team, would deal a future 1st, years down the road, for the 3rd that year and that cheap, 1.5 mill guy signed for two years? Especially if you think you can build him or get more from him.

I cut TE Hammers. Good luck finding another home! Dude caught 10 Tds in 2 years with me, but I signed him to go above Perrone and Gretsky, and he did neither. And fell quickly. I have Perrone and the young two. So we’re fine. Hammers might have been my 4th TE, no sense banishing him to that

CB Felker has dropped from my expected spot at nickel to potentially dime, with Moschetti now at 51/51. I extend FS Allen by a year.

Now that LB Jaffe is developed, he wanted more playing time. He’s a red card demanding trade. So I move him to the Raiders for their 3rd in 2036, a year we moved a 3rd. Goodbye Jaffe

I cut DE Cesar Lane

[Abe Sargent]

Preseason we go 3-1. No major injures, only a few probbales here and there.

So good news. Tamm rose to 46/63. Callaway dropped to 16/45, so that doesn’t look like that’s happened. We had multiple people drop in ability – RB Barrett, Cortez is down to 61/61, DEE Benton is down to 58/58. He’s 31.

Here were my rookies before, and now:

SE Gorham – 38/73 – 49/79 – Yeah baby!
DE Banks – 21/61 – 25/57
LB Ballard – 20/57 – 27/51
LB Stine – 16/56 – 20/52
TE Perry – 24/51 – 31/60 – Yeah!
G Lane – 25/49 – Yuck. – 32/51
CB Stephenson – 26/48 – Yuck 31/56 – Okay!
S Wally van Pelt – 21/43 – Yuck – 23/38

So some rose and others fell like Banks and Ballard and Van Pelt vs the risers of Stephenson and Gorham and Perry

I cut LB owens and its ROSTER TIME!!

Yay Chiefs!

Who do I want to extend now?

Older players - Hatcher? Benton? K Fields? Sterne? Franz?

Younger WR Holbert?

I extend LB Clinton by a year

Next year I have C Sandy and OT Axel that are on the deck for real contracts.

I extend Moschetti by 3 years, 8 mill

A lot of these players are older and will clearly fall. Sterne for example is 31, but the guy is in his 70s. Even if he falls, wed have coverage. But I have Newhart I can swap in any time. I extend Newhart by 2 more years instead, so I can have him as my next-in-line DT. And if Sterne looks good, I can chase or franchise him.

I’m let Benton play out this year and see where we wind up. Again, I can sign, or franchise later. But I don’t want to hurt my cap too much in future years keeping them. I do want to resign Holbert. He wants 4 years and 40 mill and I agree. I’ll let Hatcher play out his deal. Fields has not been playing to his deal, or his talent for that matter so I’m letting him play out.



As he is my leader, I extend Franz by 4 years and 12 mill. He has a great system – Cortez just adores him,and others get along, so I want to keep that happy.

I let my coaches play a bit, just to see what happens. If I let them run everything, the game thinks we’ll finish 11-5, but a WC due to a 12-4 team in our division, and we’ll lose in the WC round. Flemming had 19.5 sacks, 3 picks, and 4 FF. He was DPotY again and had a concussion and missed one game too. His first missed game. Oh and we had three players tossed on IR, including one starter of quality – WR Holbert, and then one adequate starter – Danieles, and another LB with Stine. None were the bad, “Lose a permanent step” level of injury, luckily.

Anyways, that’s not what would really happen. But it’s fun to see the what ifs. Ready?

[Abe Sargent]

Week 1 – We defeat the Raiders 20-7. Tamm is Mom with 23 of 28, 231, and 1:1. He hits Lluellyn for 98 yards and that TD. Konrad has 29 for 125 no scores, Jorg rushes for 1 TD> Pick by Moschetti, 4 KRb by Axel Kelly, 3 each by RT Byrne and C sandy.


No major injuries

Week 2 – We beat the Rams 27-9. Tamm, MOM, 26 of 39, 372, 3:0. Hits Holbert, Konrad and Hatcher for scores. 3 KRB by Byrne

Week 3 – MVP is Benton ith 3 sacks, and LB Jacobs has 2 in our defeat 27-22 over the Browns. Konrad was 12 for 82, 1 score, and Tamm 21 of 36, 243 and 2:1. Jason LLue and Hatcher with scores. Picks by Moshetti and Cook.

S clayton is concussed and is out for a couple of week.

Week 4 – BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Week 5 – We thump the Titans 41-10. Cortez with 2 picks, and Allen 1. Tamm is the MoM with 23 of 31, 268, 1”0 and his Gorham for the score. Konrad was 22 for 92 and 2 Ts. Jorg and Tamm rushed for cores. 7 KRb and 1 pancake by Sandy/ 4 by Byrne.

The Giants trounce 41-24, the Titans emerge victorious 18-6, Miami is 28-21 and Seattle 24-20.

And that sets up.............


Week 2, Divisional Round

We host the Dolphins, who pushed us all the way earlier this year when we played. Jacobs is probable and I keep him on the bench for now. But Guzy is back.

Once again, Miami pushes us hard, but we win 33-30 in OT.

MOM is...QB Chuck Roberts. The old cagey veteran. Tamm was knocked out early and is doubtful for a while. Roberts was 31 of 49, 355, and 3:2 after Tamm was 6 of 7, 76 and 0:0. Holbert had 159 yards, Gorham 128, and 2 scores to WR Brian Gerken and another to TE Perone. Konrad added 33 for 146. And FF by S Franz recovered by DT Byrne, no picks. 2.5 sacks by DE Roberson (I moved him into many of LB Jacobs’ formations). 6 KRB by Guzy, 3 by Lane

Danieles is out with a herniated disk, and I IR him. Jacobs is back. Tamm is doubtful and I deactivate him I sign RB Theodore Blackburn back to my squad. I hand Blackburn the FB role Jorg was doing, as he’s better at it. Clinton starts for Danieles

New York defeated San Fran 20-16
Seattle lost in Green Bay 24-16
Tennessee won in Pittsburgh 22-19


Week 3 – Conference Championship

No new injuries.....


The 2034 NFL Super Bowl

Your #1 Seed 15-1 AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs

Vs

Your #1 Seed 12-4 NFC Champion Green Bay Packers

QB Milas Tamm is still doubtful. I dress him, I case we need him. I also dress Barrett over Jorg. Experience over youth on this stage.

Their QB just has a banner day. He is so good. Our defense can’t contain him. 22 of 30 for 316, 3:0. Nasty. Just nasty. Where is Flemming? He got 1 single sack? Any FF? Picks? Nope! Just 6 tackles. Come on Flemming. Anyone else? 1.5 sacks by Cobb, and 1 by Benton, but still nothing major. We had no picks collected on the day. Now, we did get a FF by Cobb that DE Enrique Banks recovered. But that’s it for turnovers.

Sigh

Well, Konrad wasn’t bad. 34 for 130 and 2 scores. That’s a very, solid, strong Super Bowl performance. And Guzy gave you 4 KRB and Kelley 3. So yay for teamwork....

But still. No miracles from special teams. Well not like you’d expect. On special teams, we forced a fumble, and LB Tyler Hopkins recovered it and returned it 12 yards for a score So we wound up with 21 points from those. But the Pack were chasing us early, and went for 2 twice on TDs to got up to 23-21 vs us in the early 2nd half.

But....

Then the MVP of the Game struck. QB Roberts wound up up with 24 of 31, 285, and 3:1. He hit Holbert for 102 yards and 2 scores, and then Perrone for 1 TD and Gorham for 7 for 94 yards.

Konrad. Special Teams. Roberts.

We get our 2nd Super Bowl win. Oddly. But I’ll take it.


Despite all of the other things Roberts did in his career, that was his first Ring, and his first Super Bowl MVP. At the age of 39. Congrats QB Chuck Roberts!


I would not be surprised if Roberts retires on that note. That was a fun story for him. And a win is a win. Would I preferred a Tamm win? Sure! But I’ll take any win over a Tamm maybe. Especially a 44-23 win.

Nice!

This was long overdue for Jacobs! You are going to excrete a seriously large brick when you see Sandmeyer’s statline. And signing both Kelley and Sandmeyer is about to get rough. Flem, Jacobs, Clayton. Konrad. Tamm. Man I feel good here!

Again, let me show you the league rushing stats. Konrad’s 1686 rush yards and 15 rush scores both lead the league by a lot over 11 TDs by one and 250 yards over another. His ypc was better than last year and you can see just how many times we rushed with him. But you cannot deny the results of the Konrad.

Hello Gorham! Looks sexy, right? That’s the first 1000+ yard season I’ve had. Only 5 players in the league hit 1000. I thought Gorham might have been robbed of Offensive Rookie of the Year, and then I saw a Rb who did very well, so I agreed that Gorham’s lack of an award was justified. Still, you got to love this guy. 97 targets, 70% grabs, and just 2 drops. Gorham is here to stay. Hacther’s injury may have prevented him from getting 1000+ yards too, which would have been uber-cool. Now, I am surprised tt the lack of balls thrown Lluellyn’s way. He has the lowest target % this year by far. I jammed him out there on as many pass plays as I could and you can see he had the 2nd largest # of pass plays on my team after Gorham. Perhaps the quality of the other WRs and options gave Tamm more choices? But that saddens me, because his catch % is so much better than Perrone’s was last year. Oh, and Konrad had more than 2000 yards from scrimmage.


KR/PR Mayes was 57 PR, 7.8 avg; 25 KR, 22.6 avg
P Derek Grandon 79 punts, 47.7 avg, 31 in 20.
K Fields – 32 of 39, long of 51, 53 fo 53 PAT

What does it say about Fields that he improves with his neck on the line?

Boom, Flemming! He, again, led the league in sacks, albeit by just 0.5 sacks over two players, a DE and DT. Jacobs’s 12 sacks remained 2nd best among LBs this year. I’m surprised by the down year Nicky Cobb had though. 2.5 sacks? Huh. Has the era of the Cobb ended? He entered this season with much better skills than Benton, but Benton still had 11 sacks. It may be time to call up Roberson permanently from the minors, but not for Benton...

Pass coverage!

Hello Randall Clayton! Just one pick, sure, but a full 23 passes defensed. That’s on fire. For perspective, the next highest is 18 with 1 Cb, then 16 with another CB, then 14 with 1 S, and then Flemming at 13, with another LB and 1 CB. Moschetti was strong from my nickel.

Blocking:

C Sandmeyer, 49 KRB, 6 pancakes, 8 sacks allowed
Kelley, 37 KRB, 6 pan, 3 sacks allowed
OT Byrne, 30, 1, and 4
OG Duzy, 12 starts, 26, 2 and 0
OG Lane, 16, 0, 6
Banks, 4 starts, 14, 0 and 1 sack

Sandmeyer proved himself, and led all players in KRB by 8.

[Abe Sargent]

The Flemming Watch:

6 time Defensive Player of the Year

663 solo tack, 157 assists
76.5 sacks, 14 blocks, 59 hurries, 109 QBKD
24 Ints, 3 INT RET TD, 76 pasdef
21 FF, 1 FR TD, 5 FumRec,

It’s like every single statline of Randall Flemming is a mic drop.


Team Awards:

Off Player of the Year: C Randall Sandmeyer – Yup! He’s here to stay, if we can afford him......

Def Play of the Y: Jacobs – Finally. Dude it was time. Seriously past his time. Good jorb Jacobs.


Spec Teams Player of the Year: Sigh Fields. And saying so annoys me so much kicker!

Rookie of the Year: WR Hunter Gorham. Clearly. No questions asked. He’s sexy as you want him to be.

Heart Award: QB Chuck Roberts. Dude. You deserve it. Imagine if a long-lasting Qb who was good and won Pro Bowls and All Pros here and there, like, say, Phillip Rivers, is cut from his team near the end of his career, and he becomes a journeyman for a few years, before he lands on a team with a 2nd year QB who’s good and needs some mentoring from you. And then that QB goes down in the playoffs, and you take over for three games, and get Super Bowl MVp. Think about that story. That is the story that makes movies. Sports movies. Roberts, thanks for all of the fish

[Abe Sargent]

End of Season:

Performance – 90
Value – 53
Profit – 74
Roster = 11
Score – 71


12th worst stadium
10th highest value
13th highest support
11th best Roster
9th worst economy

We made 143 mill in cool hard cash, and 99.4% capacity full

6 players make the HOF. QBs Mariota, Winston, Wentz, and then LB Josiah Glover, 3 time All Pro, and then WR Clayton Bradley with 11692 yards, 4 All Pros, 1 ring, league’s fastest man 1.

And... then...

RB Diego Lorey, from my Browns dynasty. This may be my last inductee from the Browns era.

Lorey – 12167 rush yards, 84 rush scores; 4206 rec yards, 28 rec scores, Off Rookie of the year, 2021, 4 time All Pro, Super Bowl MVP< 3 Rings

Good job Lorey!

That gives my Cleveland era the following HOFers:

RB Diego Lorey
QB Brendan Arledge
OT Shon Coleman
DE Julio Stanton
DE Joey Horner
OT Joe Thomas


I’m surprised at the lack of WRs there.

But’s FOF8 is very, very hard to make the HOF as a WR. Only one player is in the WR HOF. But Dustin Wright should be here. 1064 catches, 12874 yards, 86 TDs, 4 Rings, 3 All Pros. And I would expect a certain NT and SLB to make it too.

Well, it happened...

QB Roberts retired on a high note, and, as the Legend of the Game. Good job Roberts!

And that gives me a LotG as well.

Other retirements of note:

WR Rodney Riley, from my Browns dynasty, just retired – 10837 yards, 888 snags, 58 TDs, 4 KR RET TDS, 3 Rings, 2 All Pros

OG Ralph Haroldson, 398 KRB, 50 pancakes, 87 sacks allowed, 2 All Pros

OG Rickey McEachern, 344, 42 and 53 sacks allowed, 3 All Pros

OG Jim Carpenter, 347, 47 and 43, 3 All Pros

DE Corwin Willis, 98. Sacks, 4 time All Pro, I suspect HOF Bound

DE Grayson Floyd, from my Browns, also just retired

WLB Jackson Clark, 1 Ring, Def Rookie of Year, 2 All Pros, 80.5 sacks, 141 QBKD, 108 hurries, etc.

Well, he just retired:

SLB Karl Rincon, 2 Rings for my Browns, 82.5 sacks, 14 blocks, 79 hurries, 59 QBKD, 827 solos, 231 assit tack, 11 picks, 74 pasdef, 21 FF, 8 Rec, 4 various RET TDS. Rincon was my Flemming. Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2023, and All Pro too. All Pro the next three years, and Def Player of the Year in 2027. I suspect Rincon makes the HOF too.

SS Lamont Mitchell, 6 time All Pro, 1 Ring, 37 ints, 156 pasdef, 1331 tack, 424 assists, another HOF?

[Abe Sargent]

Staff – I hand out raises to everyone!

We draft 10th

I hire a new Strength Coord. That’s it.

I won a Super Bowl! Time to jack up those ticket prices aye?

Here are my UFAs:

Hatcher
Valle
Benton
Sterne
Barrett
Fields
McCarthy

Anyone I want to tag and keep?

So here is what I have coming up.

I have the following players I need to extend, from their rookie deals:

C Sandmeyer
T Kelley
P Grandon

And maybe DE Roberson

That’s a lot of cash leaving my front door. Meanwhile I have 52 mill in cap space this year, 40 post-rookies for keeping my peoples

Now if I want, I can let Benton and Sterne head home, and just bump up Roberson and Newhart. I have no desire for Valle, Barrett, and McCarthy, and marginal, at best, for Fields. It’s just Benton, Hatcher, and Sterne. Who are between 31 and 33. I don’t want to tag the wrong one, and then mess up my cap for the next three signees, and then QB Miles and RB Konrad.

I franchise Benton

[Abe Sargent]

FA Time

I resign a few RFAs. Alright, sticker price time...

LT Axel Kelley signs for 4 years, 50 mill

C Sandmeyer, 5 years, 74 mill. Mostly flat cap hit at 13 mill each of the first three years

P Grandon – 3 years 10 mill

I am now left with just 1.6 mill in cap space

I can cut Perrone and Felker and save about 15 mill, and 25 mill to cut Cortez

So I keep it up.

I give SS Clayton 4 years, 42 mill

I added a year to LB Roberts’s deal and Clintons

I add two years to DE Roberson

FS Allen wants serious 34 mill over 4 years cash to sign

Let’s head to week 2 and see what I can do to shape my roster

Hatcher wants 3 years, 33 mill. Nope. Even if I cut Logan, nope. Not considering his age. Sterne wants 42 mill in 2 years, K Fields 4 years and 25 mill.

What do I need?

Backup QB
Many backup Rbs,
Backup TE
If I keep Logan, Gerkon, Holbert and Gorham, I think I have a sexy WR corps. I don’t need Hatcher that much. Logan is making 6 mill, so I can save 5 by cutting him.
Backup C
Starter OG only
Backup OT
K
Maybe Backup DL
Maybe fix Cbs. I have aging or disappointing Cbs, so a star rookie or a cheap and solid vet, something like that. Cook has not been what I expected or needed.

Actually....hmmm....

I think it would be fiscally wise to extend Cook now, not next year. 4 years, 14.75 mill. Perfect. That’s only 800k more than the cap already was this year and 1.2 mill next, for two years of 4ish mill the following two years. Love it.

Alright, I love Sterne, but I’m comfortable letting him go. I have Newhart who’s strong.

I extend Cortez to 3 years, 40 mill, and slash his cap this by 13 mill. Yay money!

I make an offer for K Fields.

I start interviewing folks

I make a 2 eyar, 4.2 mill offer to QB Mentor Sam Gardner, who is also the best QB in FA.

Week 2 - Hatcher signs with Dallas for 37 mill, 3 years. I was hoping a lack of offers would drop the price. But Hatcher was the 4th best WR in FA. Good luck in Dallas! OG Harvey Gibbons was in FA and signs with New Orleans

Week 5 – QB Gardener signs with me.

Week 6 – Sterne heads to Indy for 43 mill, 2 years

Week 9 – Fields signs.

Are y’all ready for the draft?

[Abe Sargent]

The 2035 NFL Amateur Draft

The 0-16 Broncos take the stud QB, Grant Assenov from Liberty at 1.1 We have a lot fo CB talent I scoped out, as well as some OGs and such too.


1.32 arrives and all 6 of the top CBs are off the board. None fell. Instead I have some seriously strong looking Rbs like Mickey Donovan, Tevin Hutson, Amari Gargaro and a nice OLB named Buddy Mulinaro whom I scouted and came back underrated. But I can take Mulinaro and slide him in in the middle of my LB corps easily enough. Let’s Buddy this thing.



2.32 – DT Shaun McKillop? FB Abraham? McKillop is BAP. Which is often how I draft back here at 1.32 and 2.32 and such. Just take what’s there of quality. That’s McKillop. No needs, just quality. Or I could go with a strong looking FB, which may help to open some paths for my RB. Neither is a major need. Perhaps, if he plays as he looks, McKillop could be my NT instead of Raymond down the road. Maybe. Or I can move him. Or I can grab FB Abraham Heinlein and be fine with a new FB. Neither is a need. But both have value. Basically, I would be playing a FB as a FB. But there have been times when I’d run a Rb or a TE instead. So do I want the roster spot for a FB to help better be a FB? Talent at a non-need space, or the best FB in the draft.

Man, I’m not sure.

This is where I got Newhart, at the 2.30 spot. D Line 3-4 Nts sometimes fall, because they aren’t needed as much. Feh. I go McKillop. FB Abraham goes 7 picks later



3.32 – RB Mason Garrison? I go Garrison.

4.8 - LG Bernie Cooper? RG Moore? I go Cooper
4.32 C Makenzie Baker
5.32 – RB Caden Marsh
6.8 – MLB Norman Horn – Has a few signs of being a grower
6.32 – OT Alexander Luther
7.32 RB Hunter Robertson

[Abe Sargent]

They failed to move the Giants to Bakersfield.

We have an A draft. Here let me show you why:

Early Rookie Lookie:

NT McKillop – 45/75
LB Mulinaro – 56/75
LG Cooper – 25/60
C Baker – 27/57
RB Garrison – 40/52
RB Robertson – 30/51
LT Alexander – 7/49
LB Horn – 27/49
CB March 25/48

Clearly the class was my first two picks. And I am hoping to move Mulinaro to the middle and I have DT McKillop to have fun with. McKillop is the 6th player on the Green Page, but Mulinaro isn’t on there at all. Our scouts loved Mulinaro because he was a genuine 3-4 LB. Now I scouted a bunch of CBs, hoping they would fall, but you know me, I lay plans in case I need them. I scouted Mulinaro, who appeared to have good solid bars, because he wasn’t at the combine. He was at the top of the LB list when I drafted by score, so he fit where we took him.

We think he’s the best LB by potential in the class, and the others are 78 and 77 and then his at 75. But due to his ability and fit in a 3-4 vs a 4-3, he’s the top choice of my coaches and scouts when you search the league for rookie LBs. There are 9 RBs on the Green Page – this was a very dense, thick crop of RBs. 3 in the 70s, and 7 more in the 60s. The best RB on the board was Gargaro when I picked, and he is 52/65, and the 4th best RB in the class. The FB I liked, Heinlein, is 33/68. I was the first to take a C off the board, as it was a weak C class, but I have the best by potential at 28/57. The others are 54, 53, 47, 45 and 38 potential.

When I took Cooper, there were two better OGs still on the board – Wells and Gordon. Both went late 4ths. I could have taken them in the 4.8 spot easily. McKillop appears to be the best D Lineman in the draft. Unless we get a big bunch of roses helping out, CB Marsh was a big miss. We have like 5 CBs and 2 Ss that had better potential when I grabbed Marsh. Ah well



Late FA

No holdouts


Week 2 – RT Valle heads to Oakland

Week 3 – I signed all 7 UFAs I targeted.

[Abe Sargent]

Camp Time!!!

We sold 50,800 season tix

I get a trade offer I like. A 2nd rounder in the future for WILB Alexander Roberts, a 56/56 guy. I take it.


I move SILB Danieles to WILB and my rookie to SILB. This guy looks pretty sexy

Whoa! I just had a major UFA boom:

UFA WR Ted Frederick, 34/54 – He was 28/49 when he arrived pre-cap

Campy Rookie Lookie:

NT McKillop – 45/75 - 52/74
LB Mulinaro – 56/75 – 66/78
LG Cooper – 25/60 – 31/61
C Baker – 27/57 – 34/59
RB Garrison – 40/52 – 44/55
RB Robertson – 30/51 – 32/47
LT Alexander – 7/49 - 13/47
LB Horn – 27/49 – 33/51
CB March 25/48 – 29/49

WR Frederick – 28/49 - 34/54

I cut my 3d round draft pick mistake from last year, SS Wally Van Pelt

I trade DT Louie Nabors to the eagles for their 4th and 6th in 2038

I cut RG Bernie Sch

I cut WR Caiden Martin, another draft bust

As he is no longer my backfield leader, I trim LB Ricky Clinton.

We go a surprising 1-3 in preseason

Do I want to lock in FS Chandler Allen as my starter for something like 4 years, and 36 mill? Let’s take a look

At 59/59, Allen is the 6th best free safety in the league, and the 18th if you include all safeties. Sounds good to me. But I hate to lock down future Cap stud when I have a few rookies about to hit their final year that could be really pricey –

QB Tamm, RB Konrad, TE Lluellyn

All of those are key players at key positions. Now I can certainly play Konrad out for two more years and then let him go. Right now he wants 5 years and 76 mill. Nope. I’m clearly not touching, we all know he’s a product of the system and the great O Line play we’ve had. But Tamm and Lluellyn are something I need to retain.

We sign him. It’s not easy to get high quality safeties where we draft.

These past couple of years have been changing of the guard for the Chiefs, an it’ll continue. I inherited a team with a great set of skill positions at WR and TE – Perrone and Gretzky at TE, and King and Co at WRs. I got a studly D Line with folks like DT Sterne, DE Cobb, and DE Benton. Plus, I had a solid, 61/61 CB in Derek Felker.

Today, post-camp and preseason:

Felker has dropped to 36/36 and I deactivate him, in his final year with us
Cobb is down to 65/65
TE Perrone is down to 49/49 in his final year, and will be my #3 TE on my roster
DE Benton is 52/52 after franchisement

[Abe Sargent]

Alright,

Late Rookie Lookie:

NT McKillop – 45/75 - 52/74 – 55/81 – BOOM!
LB Mulinaro – 56/75 – 66/78 – 71/79
LG Cooper – 25/60 – 31/61 – 32/63
C Baker – 27/57 – 34/59 – 34/60
RB Garrison – 40/52 – 44/55 – 47/63 – Interesting...
RB Robertson – 30/51 – 32/47 – 30/41 – BUST - Cut
LT Alexander – 7/49 - 13/47 – 13/44
LB Horn – 27/49 – 33/51 – 34/59 BOOM
CB March 25/48 – 29/49 - 31/52

WR Frederick – 28/49 - 34/54 – 36/54

We’re going to keep the 4th round rookie Cooper out there and grow him.

I’m moving Garrison to my primary backup

Frederick now my 3rd WR, Logan is 4th

I fast sim the season, just to check in, but obviously, we won;t play it fast speed. I like the slow and steady and give me a chance to make changes to depth charts, IRs, and such.

We go 12-4, win the AFC West, #2 seed, make it to the Super Bowl, and lose to the Lions. Awards include League MVP Elias Tamm, Offensive Player OTY – Tamm, All Pro – Tamm, Guzy, and Kelley.

Let’s play this thang

Close call on the title! But progress!

Close call on the title! But progress!

Yup!

Starting to get a little bored with the Chiefs, they are getting a little too dominant. But let's see what we can see this year:

Week 1 – We thump the Chargers 38-13. MOM is Tamm with 25 of 33, 205 yards, and 2:0 hitting RB Konrad for two scores. He added 17 for 11 and RB Jorg and rookie RB Garriosn rushed for TDs.

Tenn heads to Pitt and wins 24-21
Denver can’t manage in Miami, 13-30
Dallas breaks up the band in San Francisco, 34-27

Are you ready for the Super Bowl?

[Abe Sargent]

The 2035 NFL Super Bowl

Your #1 Seed AFC Champion 15-1 Kansas City Chiefs

Vs

Your #5 Seed NFC Champion 10-6 Dallas Cowboys

Now the boys are no joke. They dominated their games. 43-6? 37-14? On the road? They did well to get here, don’t ignore them.

We are only favored by 4.


We win 34-31 in OT>

MOM is Tamm who would not be denied. 28 of 50, 387, 3:1, and he got a ground TD too. Konrad was 18 for 100. WR Holbert? 8 for 129 yards. Gorham? 6 for 100 and 1 TD. WR Frederick and TE Perry with scores. Picks by DT Newhart and CB Moshetti. FF by Benton and Jacobs. K Rusieczky was 2/2 and 4/4 PAT and scored a game winning kick in OT. Not a bad day for a street FA starting in his first game for us in the biggest game of his life. Mulinaro led the team in tackles and had 1 sacks too. 5 KRB by Guzy, 3 by Cooper and Sandmeyer.

That’s my 3rd Super Bowl with the Chiefs!

[Abe Sargent]

I'm not actually a Browns fan, but my favorite Brown, who hadn;t played in a while, called it quits today, Joshua Cribbs. Here's to you Cribbs!

Former Cleveland Browns return specialist Josh Cribbs officially retires (http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18978693/former-cleveland-browns-return-specialist-josh-cribbs-officially-retires)

Season Awards:

NFL MVP – QB Elias Tamm
Super Bowl MVP – QB Elias Tamm
Offensive Player of the Year – QB Elias Tamm
Defensive Player of the Year – SLB Randall Flemming
Defensive Rookie of the Year – SiLB Buddy Mulinaro

All Pro 1st Team: QB Tamm, RB Riley Konrad, C Randall Sandmeyer, OG Liam Guzy, LB Flemming,
All Pro 2nd Team: WR Hunter Gorham

What...the...?

Where was Allen?

Well, everyone up there deserved to be, unquestionably, save for, maybe, Tamm. He led the league in one good stat you’ll see (QB Rating by a bunch) and just barely another (TD).

Konrad, Gorham, Guzy, Fleming, Konrad, Mulinaro, Sandy – all unquestionable. But Allen? Where is the guy who led all safeties, every single one, with 6 picks. The next were 2 safeties with 5, and the rest had 4 or fewer picks. How does a 6-pick guy who leads the league in picks at his position all by himself not make the All Pro list?

Gorham was 2nd in the league in both rec yards and rec TDs. When I think that Lluellyn had a good season, here are the real stats. He was 17th among TEs for REC Yards. Just 17th. Now he is the 7th best TE by current ability and 8th by future. So I’d like to see more from him too. Is it the busy WR Corps keeping him down? Part of it may be the low # of targets. He had fewer target target # than most other, despite boring on the field a lot.

One of the good things I like about Buddy Mulinaro is that he;s good already. Faster than Shea or Jacobs in embracing his role. I can, later, slide him to Flemming’s spot if Flemming has to retire. Flemming is 29, but for now, is still on top of the league and his game after his 7th year. He led my team in sacks with 11, and we had a down sack year. Jacobs’ 8 was fine, and Benton did nothing, I’m glad I didn’t retain him longer. I feel like my older Benton and Cobb need to head on out of here.

Sandy led the league in KRB, and Guzy was 2nd heading into the final week but had a weak blocking day and finished 4th in KRB. Both had very strong seasons. Kelley was good too, Coop was fine, with just 2 sacks allowed and 21 KRB, and then Byrne was okay in 11 games, but not special or anything.

Team Awards

Offensive Player of the Year: QB Tamm. Duh, Dude gets NFL Off Player of the Year, Dude gets my own team award too. Unless he;s been like DPOTY For 7 years in a row.

Def. Player of the Year: FS Chandler Allen. Come on now. Dude was better than my All Pros on Defense

Special Teams Player of the Year: P Grandon – He was 2nd in the league in punt average, but his low punt #, vs the others, probably kept him from All Pros. But he was still strong.

Rookie of the Year: LB Buddy Mulinaro – Defensive Rookie of the Year? That’s studly awesome! Good job Buddy. Good jorb.

Heart Award: S Franz – I was initially leaning towards Franz for special teams play this year with fumbles recoveries and that score, but Grandon earned his spot, and that’s good heart anyway, right? Franz is not my dime or nickel back, so he only plays occasionally, and yet, 2 picks, both returned for scores. So tht’s three INT and FUM TDs this year, one on special teams, and 2 on D. Good stuff Franz!



We used to have a powerful slate of Defense, and weaker Offense, and you could tell come Awards season. But you can tell we swapped over this year. We had just 1 Defense All Pro with Flemming, but 5 All Pros for my Offense, including three major skills positions and two O Line.

[Abe Sargent]

So I am starting to get a little bored of the Chiefs. I got them to a strong place quickly. We just had NFL MVP, and both Off and Def Players of the year, and Def Rookie of the Year. I have studs lined up and down the draft, and quality players at multiple places, not just the 1st round. 2.32 with Tamm to 7.31 with Danieles and more. One good example of this is Enrique Banks, who I picked up late 5th. If you’ll recall, that year I showed you the top players on the board of the draft at 1.31. And you could see Banks was one of the best players on the chart. Now he’s nothing major. He’s not Roberson or Cobb, he’s just a solid player. He never grew like I hoped, but he was there.

Anyways, I feel like I got to the point where the Chiefs are on autopilot. So let’s do something else.

I want to make this tougher. Should I switch to another team?

Do I want to move to San Diego? The losingest team of the last 20 years, and in the same division as these Chiefs? Right now, I doubt I move my team to a Otto Graham candidate, because we keep missing on the UFA Graham options. Plus, before we had a stud D. But now it’s in transition.

This year, the Chiefs, despite not having a whole lot of needs, is picking 1.7. And 1.32 as well. Hit on those both and we are just nasty. Make that 1.7 a top flight player at a major position and we are just nasty.

Good news about the Chargers? They were the worst team last year and have the 1.1 pick. But, otherwise, they are sucking.

Where is Tamm right now?

He is the 13th best QB in the league by current rating. We grabbed him at the 2.32 spot, outside of the top 50. How many other of the top QBs in the league are from lower?

All of the QBs better than Tamm were 1st rounders in the top 5 picks, save for 1 taken at 1.21. Then 2 at 1.2, and then a 2nd.18 next, and then 5.21 (Conrad Rhodes, taken by us), and then all 1. And first five for the rest. So of the top twenty five Qbs in the league, only 4 were taken outside of the top 6. (I found a pair of 1.6s later) at 1.21, 2.18, 2.32 and 5.21.

Now San Diego has a solid 63/63 QB right now it’s the rest of the team that is stuck in suck. They have a good, young CB, OG, LT, and QB. And a not-bad RB. No one else young and not a K in the 60+ range for current or potential.

So, Chargers? I could see it. What about helping out the Bears as they reboot in Colorado Springs?

The only major question is one of loyalty to Flemming. I would like to see him finish out his career with me. He is the best player I’ve ever had. That’s the only reason I’d stay. But I had him for 7 seasons. Time to move on.


I’ve built the Chiefs up into a major force. Up and coming powerhouse offensively, and still defensive talent in a variety of places.


Chargers?

Or how about a team with the 8th pick instead, who needs a QB badly, and has a depleted roster and the 5th worst record in the Bills. Actually, they aren’t that depleted. Nevermind. 5 70+ players into DE NT, and 3sx LB.6 more in the 60s, including 68 RB, 2x Cbs, and more.

The Chargers:

We finished last season 2-14. We have a 124-196 record, the worst in the last 20ish years, and as you can see, we don’t have a lot of cap space either. Now, for a time, we’ve actually done well with the last few top picks. 1.12 was OG Chad Bening, 1.4 the year before we had CB Carton Pigg, and then at 1.5 th year before LT McHugh. Before that at 1.11 was the more disappointing RT Fisk, and then 1.3 QB Lofton. All great(ish) players. And then the less valuable OG Cary McWilliams begins the age of draft suckage again.

But you can’t just build a team with a few hits in the 1st round. You need to get in there for later picks, especially at the top of the 2nd.

We also have serious cap issues. Now QB Lofton is 37 mill this year. That’s a lot of cap, our cap total is 294 this year.

DE Wells is out for 37 weeks with a torn patellar tendon.

My quick assessment by position:

QB good for now
RB – fine for now
TE – Okay for now
WR - Meh. Need one star
C – Are you kidding me? Knowing just how many quality Cs you can get in UFA or later in the draft, how do you have this bad of a C?
OG Need one starter bad
OT Fine
P – Yeah
K – Good
DE – 1 of quality needed badly
Dt? We run a 3-4, so we’re okay with the 54/54 guy there.
LBs – Are you kidding me? Total renovation needed, much like I did in Cleveland and KC. We have to totally rebuild the LB Corps.
CBs – 83 is fine, 56 guy is older.
S – We need a star here, anywhere

LS too

[Abe Sargent]

Staff draft

We pick 26th

I hire a new HC who is 11 higher suitability than our current guy
Ditto OC

My DC is a stud and I don’t touch him

I hire Khalif Barnes formerly of the Jags, as my Assistant Coach.

There’s no junky person here I want to keep with my franchise tag.


One of the reasons I like these Chargers is that they have a solid QB already and someone I can build a major team around as he nears the end of his career, and then hopefully transition to my next Otto Graham, so that’s my goal.

I am also going to make this challenge a little harder and I am also adding a layer of faster in-season play. From here on out, I will not set the depth charts of my players. I am just a GM, and will let my coaches do everything they want with depth charts and plays and all of that other stuff.

Ready?

[Abe Sargent]

The 2036 San Diego Chargers FA Begins

We have a lot of work to do

But the first thing I am doing is scoping out the draft

Now let me ask you a hypothetical question. Assuming that there was a stud QB on the board at the 1.1 spot...should I take him? Someone who came back great from multiple angles. Should I grab him? What would you do if you had the 14th best QB in the league, but just having hit the 1.1 spot for a 2-14 season? Would you make a play for that QB? Trade down with a QB hungry team? Draft and then trade your veteran in a year or two? What do you do?

I don’t think you draft the stud QB. I think you go elsewhere.

Here is the best player in the draft, at any position, regardless of need: Interviewed at Underrated, 5 combine scores, all red, DE Zachary Toth. You have to take that sort of talent, right?

Now my best DE is injured and my 2nd best is UFA> I can use this guy. Alright, so I’m coming out of this thing with a stud DE. Good.

What else?

Anyone on my roster I need to re-up?

Nope, I have to trim a lot of cap. Where is my money going?

QB Lofton – 37 mill
CB Pigg – 30 mill
LT McHugh – 20 mill
CB Bishop – 20 mill
FL Scott – 16 mill
LB Spencer – 12 mill
DE Weber 10 mill
LT Brink 9 mill
SS Westerfield 7.9 mill
RT Fisk, 7.8 mill
DT Godfrey, 7.8mill
OG Bening, 7.6 mill
TE Gaylor, 7 mill
QB Kranchick – 6 mill

I’m okay with everyone on that list (although several at the top are pretty pricey) save for...CB Bishop (too much for the result) , 31 year old CB starter who last year, started all of our games, had 1 pick and 8 Pasdef, and in his entire career for us, including starting every game of his career save for 3 due to injury, just 2 INTs and 45 PD. Why Bishop? And FL Scott is find in the 50s, but has had just one 1000+ year in his career despite a solid QB throwing to him for us. And Spencer is way too expensive as well for a mid 50s 28 year old LB.

I cut DE Weber, too expensive and aging, and LT Brink, my 3rd best OT. SS Westerfield played well last year with 3 INts and 6 picks. Solid. 8 mill for him is fine. Fisk, Godfrey, Bening, they are all fine. I cut QB Kranchick, and TE Gaylor is a bit much as well. In FA I’ll look for cheaper options for some of these folks. I trim Gaylor now, with Sullivan at 51/51 on board already

I now have 8 mill in cash under my rookie needs. I sign RFAs – TE Amir Graham, CB Dixon,

I cut RB Leroy, who was 4 mill an backup WR Nicky Robbins with 3.5 mill. Oh and C Guthrie as well.

Alright, now I have some cap space. I extend:


QB Autenrieth by a year
RG Chad Bening, 45 mill, 4 years
WR George by a year

[Abe Sargent]

Alright, FA Time

Week 2 -

I make offers to:

LS Ed Jackson, a 100 LS guy
P Edward Morrison


Now, there is one amazing studlike player in FA – 84/84 CB Jorge Odenbach, 6 year vet. Want to send him a crap-ton of cash? I’d rather pay him than my current #2 who sucks.

So do I need two great studs at CB? Or should my cap head elsewhere? Now I can cut CB Bishop, save 10 mill this year, and then use that 10 mill to defray the cost of Odenbach. But 12 mill this year and more is not doable with my cap in this condition. Paying megabucks for a QB changes the math of a team. I don’t have the cap agility to make this player, even though dropping from a 31 56/56 to 26 year old 84/84, would normally be worth it all, day, long. But not tonight.

I need that cash. I trim CB Bishop, and make an offer to CB Middlehurst, a 55/55 guy for 13 mill over three years.

C Darren Sheldon, 2 years, 7 mill, will be leader and make two others happy.

I make an offer to DE Benton for 2 years, 8.5 mill.

SS Irving Maloney, 2 years, 6.8 mill

Let’s advance...

Week 3 - CB Odenbach signed for 120 mill over 4 years. I bump my offer for Middlehurst.


Week 4 – We bring in DE Benton. CB Middlehurst signs with Miami for more than 1 mill less than we were offering. I make an offer to retain CB Darien Overbeck for 7.24 mill over 2 years

I cut DE Sullivan

Week 6 – We sing SS Maloney.

SS Maloney is amazing. He has a 6 Run D, and then 92, 34, 98, 83, 94, 98 in the rest of his stats. He seems like a natural FS, so I move him to FS.

Week 7 – P Morrison arrives. We trim P Copeland. C Sheldon arrives too.

Week 9 – We bring back our CB Target

Week 10 – We bring in LS Ed Jackson

I make an offer to SLB Corey Proxmire for 3 years, 11 mill, come in as a leader

Week 11 – I bring in Proxmire

[Abe Sargent]

DRAFT TIME

Let me show you the mammoth of a man I am amount to take...

4.54 dash
36 Sole
35 STR
7.10 AGI
10-06 BJump

All reds. Compared to all other Des in the draft he is the fastest, 3rd smartest, strongest, most agile (by far, btw) and best BJump. That’s a horse of a stud.

He is ready for a close encounter of the sack kind.

https://s15.postimg.org/cmsdkycjf/DE_Toth.png

Dude is on fire

I don’t even care that he’s a 4-3 DE and not a 3-4 one. Dudes that good are very much on their own, you know?

Now, if you’ll recall, I dropped my ability to trade picks for picks. So no trading this pick for a bevy of more picks. We’re taking Toth at the top of the draft and moving on.

I want to make Toth my Stanton, Horner, Cobb style stud DE who brings in the numbers, the QB drops, and the All Pros. Two of those three made the HOF from my career, while both Cobb and Benton from the Chiefs are still active.

[Abe Sargent]

At the 2.1 spot, tjere are a few LBs I like that I scouted. And there is talent elsewhere, but I need LBs so badly, I’m juts taking the best, irregardless of spot, and moving on. I take WILB Cameron Cook.

3.1? MLB Berns is very underrated, and has good combine score,s but lower bars. I suspect a grower. I Draft him too,

4.1? At this point, my roster is so weak, it’s just BAP

4.1 DE Parker Maumalaga (I think I could slide him to DT) Shower?

We have no 5th rounder after trades.
6.1 CB Patrick Neavitt – Good bars
7.1 LB Corbin Thaubitauck

Early Rookie Lookie –

DE Toth, 67/91
DE Maumalaga, 34/73
LB Cook – 41/72
LB Berns – 34/52
LB Thaphituck – 28/52
CB Nevitt – 13/50

And there we are. C+ draft grade.

On the Green Page, Toth is 1st and Mau 5th.

[Abe Sargent]

Late FA:

FS Harrison is a holdout

Time to bring in a ton, of UFAs:

TE Kerry Peters
RB Carlton Hamilton
CB Camden Junkin
CB Blake Gamegys
C Damon Leung
C Shaquille Bell
TE Darrin McCaskill
MLB Trevor Cortez
DE Santiago Meadows
QB Joshua Garcia
QB Omar Weaver
RB Jeremy Grier
WR Herman Allen
WR Lorenzo Dansby
OG Jamie Arnold
OT Santiago Meier

RG Sammie Mayes, 2 years, 2.7 mill
LB Brendan Gomez, 2 years, 2.17 mill

Here we go:

Week 2 -I sign 7.

Week 3 – I sign another 6

Week 4 – All of our remaining targets sign.

UFAs we brought in to watch:

TE Kerry Peters – 34/61
C Leung – 17/59
LB Cortez, 25/59
C Bell, 11/58
DE Meadows 30/56
DE Horton 27/55

We have 62 under contract if you count injured and hold outs....

[Abe Sargent]

CAMP TIME


FS Gurley is back from holding out

We sell 31,400 tix (of 62,700)


Camp Rookie Lookie –

DE Toth, 67/91 73/91 – So Filthy!
DE Maumalaga, 34/73 – 41/76
LB Cook – 41/72 – 48/70
LB Berns – 34/52 – 39/53 Ummm....where’s my grower?
LB Thaphituck – 28/52 - 34/55
CB Nevitt – 13/50 – 19/48
TE Kerry Peters – 34/61 – 38/64
C Leung – 17/59 – 22/58
LB Cortez, 25/59 – 29/58
C Bell, 11/58 – 16/59
DE Meadows 30/56 – 33/55
DE Horton 27/55 – 32/54

I hope we all agree that Toth is a good example of the sort of player who can be a stud level of impact on my team.

I cut Harrison Gurley

[Abe Sargent]

We go 2-2 in the preseason and finish with three questionables and three more probable. I have IRd Wells.

Cut time:

I slice QB Omar Weaver, WR Herman Allen, LT Meier, CB Dixon, LB Levesque, DE Knightly, QB Garcia, K John Hines.

K Elijah Fields was cut by the Chiefs. I sign him.

Final Rookie Lookie –

DE Toth, 67/91 73/91 – So Filthy! – 77/90
DE Maumalaga, 34/73 – 41/76 – 42/75
LB Cook – 41/72 – 48/70 - 42/60 – Feh!
LB Berns – 34/52 – 39/53 Ummm....where’s my grower? 40/52....Ummmm?
LB Thaphituck – 28/52 - 34/55 - 34/53
CB Nevitt – 13/50 – 19/48 – 18/45
TE Kerry Peters – 34/61 – 38/64 – 42/71 DAMN
C Leung – 17/59 – 22/58 – 22/58
LB Cortez, 25/59 – 29/58 – 29/60
C Bell, 11/58 – 16/59 – 16/55
DE Meadows 30/56 – 33/55 – 33/54
DE Horton 27/55 – 32/54 – 29/50

[Abe Sargent]

Hers we ares

Now, as I mentioned above, I wanted to let my coaches change depth charts and such. I am just running the GM side of the house, in case of IRs or anything. But we’ll fast sim, ish, the season in a moment.

Before I do, lets look at what happened with the Chiefs this year:

They signed Tamm to a big deal for 150 over 4 years; they handed Riley Konrad 53 over 4 years. Lluellyn 50 over 4 years.

Ready for year 1 of the Chargers?

[Abe Sargent]

Let's speed through this season...



We get out to a nice 5-2 lead before dropping back to 5-5. Then we win again. Then 6-6, then 7-6, then we rally hard and finish 10-6

We are a wild card

The 2036 NFL Playoffs:

AFC:

1. 13-3 Jets
2. 12-4 Chiefs
3. 9-7 Colts
4. 8-8 Ravens
5. 10-6 Chargers
6. 9-6-1 Pats

Ready?

We head to Baltimore to take on the Ravens. We barely edge them 17-16

Atlanta won in Seattle 30-13
Miami was smashed in Baltimore 12-31
San Francisco was smashed too in Washington 13-38


Week 2 –

We head to the 13-3 Jets....

And get smashed. Hard.

27-3

KC wins 33-0 over the Ravens. Washington wins at Tampa strongly 29-3,and Atlanta can’t find their rhythm in MoTown and lose 6-21.

Conf Champs:


KC at NY Jets
Wash at Det

Washington wins 27-17; the Jets win 34-19


Super Bowl –

Jets vs ‘Skins.

Jets dominate 45-15.

Congrats New York City

[Abe Sargent]

Season Awards

Offensive Rookie of the Year: RB Carlton Hamilton

That’s it. Hamilton was pretty crappy actually, just no other rookies mattered, and he started for a bunch of games when our starter was down twice with injury.

Many Chiefs won awards including RB Mason Garrison, DeAndre Jacobs, FB Sedrick Willis, a rookie with an All Pro award and more.


The Flemming Watch

Had a down year with just 1.5 sacks, 2 picks, and 5 pasdef

[Abe Sargent]

Stats:

QB Lofton – 364 of 537, 67.8%, 4081 yards, 32:21 ratio, 93.7 rating, 35 sacks, 8 fumbles,

This was Lofton’s 2nd best year of his career.

RB Hamilton – 187 for 742, 6 scores
RB Imme, 111 or 436, 1 score

Imme is supposed to be our best RB starter, but only had 6 starts.

S Maloney’s 4 picks was solid. We have 3 each by Pigg and Bohme as well, nicely. Good stuff, but I want to start getting ints and coverage from the LB defense.

Blocking –

C Sheldon – 30 KRB, 1 pancake, 8 sacks allowed
OT McHugh, 29 KRB, 7 pancks, 14 sacks allowed
OG Bening, 27 KRB, 1 pan, 6 sacks
OT Fisk, 23 KRB, 1 pan, 4 sacks
OG McWilliams, 21 KRB, 0 and 3 sacks

Not great. Not great at all...

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards:


Off. Player of the Year: WR Scott = led league in rec yard, didn’t get All Pro because they are dummies, and had a great season for us.

Def. Player of the Year: FS Malney. Led team with 4 picks, and had a lot of good, solid pressure from various places

Special Teams Player of the Year: K Fields. Yup, he’s good alright.

Rookie of the Year: DE Tuft. Led my team in sacks, almost led the league in Hurries. In Tuft we Trust.

Heart Award: RB Hamilton – Won a great award mostly starting for my club, despite his undrafted nature. Hamilton had a solid year, and did it from nowhere, so good job!


I’m very surprised by the 10-6 record, an 8 game improvement from last year!

[Abe Sargent]

End of the Season:

Perform – 60
Value – 45
Profit – 48
Roster 31

Score – 49


Value-

61% attend, We made 310k,

3rd lowest franchise value
12th worst stadium
2nd worst support
4th worst roster
7th best economy



Hall of Fame:

Two inductees, a solid TE and a Good QB. None connected to us in any ways

Retirements:

DE Everett Parmely – One of the last players I drafted on my Browns Dynasty, Everett Parmely, just retired. 1 Ring. 96 sacks. Def Player of the Year, 2026, 3 All Pros, Def Rookie fo the Year. We took him at the back, 1.32 pick back in 2025. He was with the Browns his entire career. Canton bound?

There may be some pressure:

QB Bobby Brigges, 51720 yards, League MVP 1x, 2x Off Player of League, 3 tiem All Pro

QB Chandler Cote – Was the best QB during his run, 55688 yards, 340:155 rating, 95/2 career rating.

QB Randall Salley – League MVp, Off Player of the Year, Super Bowl MVP, All Prox2, 52309 yards, 295:173 ratio

SE Byron Gaines, 4 time All Pro, 10353 yards, 60 scores

SE Gus Tuggle, 12989 yards, 67 scores, 5 time All Pro

RT Trenton Henry – Another Brown, 2 Rings, 216 KRB, 1 pan, 78 sacks allowed

LT Camden Calara, 451 KRB, 70 pancakes, 72 sacks allowed, 1 Ring, 7 All Pros

DT Lee Burnett, 63 sacks, 3 All Pros

[Abe Sargent]

We just hit our 15th year for the stadium here in San Diego. Do I want to renovate? Build a new one?

Our current stadium:

Opened in 2022

Retractable Roof. Grass

62700 capacity
14700 Club Seats
184 Luxury Boxes
Very Good condition
Good Turf and Parking
No support for projects locally.
We only filled about 60% of the total from last


We did have a lack of cash from the last season. Now I could submit a new stadium plan, and then when it gets rejected, we’d be able to move elsewhere. Just like potentially in real life. But I like the Chargers in San Diego and not someplace like Las Vegas or Chicago or San Antonio or something.

San Diego in 2037:

3.620 mill
6.0 % Growth
58k average income
19.2% poverty level
Very High Entertainment Competition – 92nd percentile
High Trend Setting = 72nd
1 team without 250 and 4 within 500 miles.

We have the region to ourselves, with the Rams down by LA, and the other two teams as well up north.

Now, what are the biggest cities without a franchise?

Chicago
Riverside
Anaheim
St. Louis
New Brunswick
Newark
San Jose
New Haven
Sacramento
San Antonio

All have at least 2 mill folks.

I offer a plan for a huge, expensive stadium that would really put our own one to shame, knowing we’d likely lose, just in case I want to open up that window later

Staff Draft – We pick 26th:

I make no changes to my staff.

Anyone I wanna franchise?

Yup. I tag K Elijah Fields

[Abe Sargent]

2037 FA


We pick 26th in each round

We have 36 players under contract and 60 mill under the cap, 48 mill post-draft

I make offers to these RFAs:

TE Kerry Peters
RB Carlton Hamilton
TE McCaskill
C Leung
C Bell
OG Arnold
CB Junkin
CB Comegys
DE Meadows
DE Horton
LB Cortez


And now 47 under contract

We are missing starters at:

WR
Maybe FB
OG
DT
CB
LB in places

I cut DE Matthew Wells

I extend K Fields by 3 years, 18 mill

I don’t extend anyone else. They either have lower quality, older, or have question marks over them.

Week 2 –

The Chiefs cut TE Lluelyn. If I didn’t have TE Perry, I might make a play. Also let go were WR Holbert, RB Riley Konrad, DT Newhart, CB Cook and FS Allen. Cook is the 2nd best FA at CB, a solid, young 61/61 body. My best corner not named Pigg is a 41/41 CB. This is a major upgrade. I make an offer for the Cook for 4 years, 50 mill.

By far, Holbert is the best WR in FA< and cheap too. I make an offer for 3 years, 18 mill.

I can’t make a play for Allen, but it would be funny if I did. He had 7 picks last year and still, no All Pro for the guy. Now, he’s a pure FS, and I’d be willing to bring in a top flight S all day long, but I like what FS Maloney brought last year. Although Maloney is old. I can’t see him moving to SS ever given his lack of Run Stopping. So Allen is miscast on my team.

The 2nd best OG out there is Lucas Lucas, from my old Cleveland dynasty, but he’s 58/58, and 33 years old and just ones a one year deal at this point. I make an offer for memory and ability, for4 mill.

7th year vet WLB Lukas Hanson is a pass rush specialist, and the best LB in FA, and I make hima 4 year 20 mill offer.

Huh. I make another offer to a long-time player, DT Damien Alcott, 36 years old, from my Cleveland Dynasty, with 6 All Pros. He’ll be a rotational guy, and not a full time starter, but why not?

Ready?

Week 3 – Cook signs. I have to up Holbert’s offer to pass other competitors.

Week 4 – Holbert signs. DT Newhart heads to LA, Konrad to LA as well.

Week 5 – FS Allen heads to Carolina.

Week 6 – Our DT Campana moves out to Colorado Springs to join the Bears. TE Lluellyn heads to Atlanta.

Week 7 – Lucas Lucas signs with us. Our CB Bohme headst o Green Bay.

Week 8 – LB Hanson joins us.

Week 9 – All quiet

Week 10 – DT Alcott signs with us

I look at some rookies. Who do I like? Who may fall to 1.26?

Not a whole lot of talent

Week 11 – FB Meadows signs with Green Bay

I double check, no one major I want to bring in pre-draft. We have 51 players under contract, but I signed all of the decent RFAs, many of which may get cut laters

[Abe Sargent]

The 2037 NFL Amateur Draft

Carolina kicks off the night with a RB, Vince Wooly of Boston College.

This appears to be a weak draft. I tried to set myself up to just BAP, and I interviewed players at SS, LB, DT, OG, TE, WR and more that I think might fall, 3rd best, 5th best with cool bars, uncombined players and more. But, again, it feels weak to me.

See you at the 26 spot

The only stud LB in the draft wound up heading 1.4. Typically, that’s way too early for this level of quality, but not this year. Who do I like still on the board? Anybody fall?

C Darius Tate – this guy us not a position of need. But 4 reds, 1 blue, and an absolute stunner of a grade. He looks high, high quality stud. Much like a Sandmeyer style C. Is it worth the upgrade to a Sandy C? Even though C isn’t close to my needs?

OGs Cary Wagner or Zach Posey – Both look good here. Either has potential starter quality lovin. Or maybe OT Bucky Lehan.

That’s it. Who is the bigger upgrade? Mid-50s OG to Wager/Posey? Or Mid-5os OC to Tate?

Here’s a pic. Who do you like best?


https://s12.postimg.org/k8mwwte99/My_43_O_Line_choices.png
I like Wagner blind with the higher endurance, obviously. Wag or Tate?

When in doubt, take the better player. Tate it is. Both OGs head off in the early 2nd round.

[Abe Sargent]

I was watching for talent, and DE Delgadillo was intriguing to me before Baltimore took him at the 57 spot right before our 58th pick. Ah well. Easy come...

There isn’t that much talent left on the board to be frank. I grab an OG with good looking bars, see if he lasts. Then the 3rd gest there, and there’s a solid NT Stone available. Stone si slow and stupid, with greens in both, but nice bars. Shower or Bust? I take him

Now in the 4th, I hew an odd direction, P Richard Lynn, the best P on the board, and looks like a stud. This is how weak the draft is. Taking a P in the 4th. 5th – 7th, all BAP.

2nd – OG Wade Conley
3rd? NT Stone
4th – Punter Richard Lynn
5th - CB Devin Springer
6th – DE Timothy Eiguren
7th – LB Jamal Glave, CB Dave Vaughn

I interviewed Glave, he’s the best LB oin the board, has 2 reds, 2 blues, but he came back very overrated. Here in the 7th? I’ll take him

Early Rookie Lookie:

C Tate – 35/88
P Lynn – 74/87
NT Stone – 33/71
LB Glave – 17/60
RG Conley – 18/59
DE Eiguren – 32/55
CB Springer – 24/42
CB Vaughn – 29/40


This was a weak draft. We had a B draft grade

We had one (non-kicker) player in the 80+ potential range, C Tate, who I walked out with. 7 in the 70s,

A measure to move the Giants to Honolulu failed. Our stadium vote did as well.

[Abe Sargent]

Late Free Agency

SS Julio Westerfield is oddly holding out, despite the serious amount of cash he is getting paid I thought about cutting him due to a cost benefit analysis.

I make offers to these RFAs”

RB Evan Farmer
RB Heath Vautour
LB Sean Oland
LT Samuel Wells
QB Jerry Kramer

And to bring back OG Arnold for 2 more years.

Week 3 – 1 signs

Week 4 – Everyone else is in

[Abe Sargent]

CAMP

SS Westerfield ends his holdout. We sold 32,900 season tix


I cut P Morrison. C Bell. SS Rogers, DT Godfrey, LT Wells, DE Keegan, LB Gomez, C Leung, LB Oland, QB Kramer,

Campy Rookie Lookie

C Tate – 35/88 – 43/87
P Lynn – 74/87 – 74/86
NT Stone – 33/71 – 39/71
LB Glave – 17/60 – 24/58
RG Conley – 18/59 – 24/60
DE Eiguren – 32/55 – 37/58
CB Springer – 24/42 – 28/41
CB Vaughn – 29/40 – 33/42

We finish the pre-season 1-3, and with a few injuries – OG Bening starts out and will return in a few weeks. SE Scott and FS Maloney are both questionable for a few weeks but’ll start.

ROSTER!

So you can see some rookies moving and others falling. CB Vaugh grew 10 pot from draft to start of the season. NT Stone dropped 4, and Glave 5. DE Eiguren rose 11, and CB Spring appears on a minor slide or just a readjustment.

After everything, here are all of the non-kickers with pots of 70+ from the draft:

C Tate - 87
DE Tatum - 83
TE Sarnow – 75
RB Gillman – 74

That’s it. Another 17 with a pot in the 60s. Again, not a great draft, so we got the best player at 1.26. Sure, not a position of need, but I’ll take it.

Anyone I want to resign now?

I extend CB Overbeck by a year; QB Autenreith as well

That’s it.

[Abe Sargent]

Season time!

At the halfway mark we are 4-4. WR George is questionable for a week, and various other probables like TE Amir Graham and such.

After our win in week 14 puts us up 7-6, DE Amos Benton breaks his leg, a compound leg fracture, out for 50 weeks. I IR him. Will this be the end of his career?

We finish 8-8

The 2037 NFL Playoffs –

Weekend 1 –

Houston hosts and drops Buffao 20-17
Cleveland hosts and envelops Oakland 47-7
Minnesota on the road edges the Eagles 17-16

Week 2 –

Cleveland loses in KC 44-19
Houston can’t win in Miami 14-10
Vikings cant stop the Falcons hopes 12-37
Saints head to Detroit and emerge victorious 35-25

Conf Champ –

KC beats Miami 30-20
Atlanta beats New Orleans 38-31

Super Bowl –

Battle of 14-2 #1 seeds, Atlanta favored by 2.

KC wins 30-10

Not even close. Good job Chiefs!

Imme was 2nd in the league in both rush yards and rush scores with 1460 and 12. Which are both good, solid statistics to point too and the 4.5 ypc is okay as well. But this was Imme’s season, and we only had a handful of carries by others backs, like Hamilton.

Scott had another 1000+ season, although barely. This year, we had 13 1000+ season in the league. But what’s cool here is Imme’s catching season with 736 rec yards and 8 scores. He was the best in the league for RBs for both receiving yards and scores. 20 tds from scrimmage? More than 2300+ yards? Hell of a season!

Maumalanga had 12 sacks and a solid year leading my team in the trenches with QB drops, and again you can see the havoc Toth is unfurling even without large sack numbers. SLB Thaphituck, my Karl Rincon/ Flemming SLB in the 3-4 has been fine, but I still need an upgrade there.

Maloney again proves his worth back there and again leads my team with 4 picks. He was miscast his entire career as a SS and these show it. Great numbers for LB Hanson, and other. SS Westerfield, Cook was a fine signing and so forth. We have room to grow defensively, but we are moving in the right direction, I hope

[Abe Sargent]

We finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs.

Team Awards:

Off. Play of the Year: RB Imme. Was great in the league and notched an All Pro to boot. Looks good little man, looks good!

Def. Play of the Year: DE Maumalaga He led my team with 12 sacks, collected an All Pro award, and was solid all year long. Good stuff from the Mau Man.

Spec. Teams. Play of the year: P Richard Lynn – 3rd highest net average in league, more than 50% of his punts inside the 20. Guy was amazing.

Rookie of the Year: C Tate – I actually think P Lynn had a better year, but I already gave him a better award above. So Tate it is!

Heart Award: Lucas Lucas – When other older additions, like Benton or Alcott were, at best, okay, Lucas Lucas led my team in KRB. Dude still has that professional attitude. And he is the weakest of my 5 starters too! Yet he had arguably the best year on my O Line statistically. Thanks buddy!

Staff Draft:

We draft 18th.

Do I want to slide to a 4-3 defense with this great play calling DC Roman Harper? A majority of of my line starters and LBs are 4-3 not 3-4. I have a logjam at LB moving from 4 starters to three, but it feels like that’s where my team is right now. 21 teams have a 3-4 defense right now, so it feels like the right time to switch as well.

Welcome DC Roman Harper

I hire a new Str Coord as well who’s much more improved.

I have 5 starters heading out – FS Maloney, Lucas, McWilliams, Sheldon and solid depth. But I am not making a franchise tag on any of them either. That’s just bad juju

We draft 16th in the 1st round

[Abe Sargent]

Free Agency!

The best player in FA is Sandmeyer. Others let go by the Chiefs include WR Frederick, backups like DE Enrique Banks and CB Stevenson and more. Not sure why you’d left Sandy go. In his first six years he’s
S been All Pro 4 times and has 245 KRB. Last year? 46 KRB and another All Pro season

I extend QB Loften by 100 mill, 3 years.

We have 43 players under contract.

I extend CB Pigg by 97 mill, 4 years

I have a few players, like RB Imme up this year, but I do not extend them yet.

Week 2 –

I need:

Starting DT
Starting SS or FS
Starting OG
Starting RB for later?
Hmmm...

I have an idea. Now Sandy has dropped to low 60s in current ability. But I could make him an offer of 80 mill, 5 years, but that’s a long time and a lot of cash to commit. But I could move Tate to RG, he’d still likely be a low 70s RG, and sign a C. Not yet. Soon, perhaps. But not yet.

I offer:

2 years, 7 mill to FS Maloney
1 year, 4 mill to OG Lucas Lucas

If he wasn’t 30 mill over 3 years, I’d make an offer to WR Frederick.

TE Charlie Buning, 12 mill, 3 years, best TE in FA.
13 year vet DT Lenny Sterne is a FA. Let’s sign him over.

That’s it:

Week 2 – Sterne signs.

Week 5 – FS Maloney signs back with us. Again, man, I wish I had that guy in the draft, I would have used him right. WR Frederick went to Green Bay

Week 7 – Our TE Buning target signs. C Sandmeyer heads to Seattle

Week 9 – Lucas Lucas joins us. DE Banks heads to Minnesota.


Time to preview the draft. Anybody I need out there?

We have 4 stud-ish, RBs on the board, and I interview them, as well as the top 2 DTs, Ss, 2 CBs, 2 OG.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2038 NFL Amateur Draft


Seattle takes a stud QB at 1.1 to kick us off


A run on RBs happens just before we pick, and all of the players I scooped are gone, save for thee 2nd best S, Percy Lazuka...

Take a look....


https://s2.postimg.org/xqevrl30p/Lazuka_Draft.png

My major concern is the low interception bar, and I ‘ll move him to SS for now to be across from Maloney. Super High volatility. I would have preferred more of a major player, but he’s the best we have at any spots here.

2nd – G Ritchie Hancock – Solid stats, good combine numbers too – 3 blues.
3rd – DT Rex Newton – Good bars and such. Solid potential.
4th – RB Walt Sherman – Looks good for a backup role
5th - LB Marcus Reese – Classic Shower
6th – WR Hancock – Will he be a grower?

Now we almost had something I’ve never had this dynasty, a 1000 yard TE season. Peters was 3rd in the league among TEs in receiving, with 988 yards. He led my team as well, and you can see Scott and Holbert in here as well as Imme. Those core four are the ones that Lofton has a real affinity for. Note just how often Imme was catching the ball. Good stuff from the RB.

Check out our stats here too. Note that Lucas Lucas again had a solid season with 27 KRB, 1 pac, and just 4 sacks allowed. The guy knows how to block, he’s been doing it for me for a long time. If he had 1 or 2 more years of blocking at this level he’d get close to 400 KRB for a career. He has great longevity in this league. Flat out, I’m happy to see Bening do well finally, and had a higher block percentage than the other starters. But I need to see a lot more from Tate considering his skill set, as well as it may be time to move away from the idea that my OTs are set moving forward. Fisk and McHugh both were not what I need moving forward.

Here’s the surprise. You might have thought Toth led my team in sacks given his All Pro and Maumalanga’s absence. Nope. Mad Mau was absolutely on queue with 15.5 sacks. And Mau’s amazingly high 36 hurries led the league by 4. Mad Mau had the better season statistically, other than pure tackles, but he’s not in the All Pro award roster when Toth is.

Oh, and check out DT Sterne’s 4.5 sacks, 3 blocks and 6 hurries. I thought you might like that. WLB Hanson dropped the QB hard.

This was Pigg’s first All Pro, and his 5 picks, 2 TDs, and 15 pasdef shows why. He led the team in each of those stats. You can see some nice pasdef for Cook and Maloney, and Mal with 3 more picks, and Nickelback rookie Horner had 3 picks and 1 TD, so solid days there. Note we had 8 Picks returned for scores, a big number. Pigg also had 1 FF, 3 FumRecs, and 1 FR returned for a score

[Abe Sargent]

Team Awards:

Off Player of the year: - TE Peters – Best season from a TE I’ve had in this dynasty, led my team in a relevant stat, and was just this shy of an All Pro. Thanks Peters!

Def Player of the Year: CB Pigg. He led my team in so many stats. FumRec, he was the only one with a FR TD, picks, pasdef, etc. Dude had a superlative season, and dude gets my team award. I;m curious as to how many more picks or action from him might have led to DPotY?

Spec Teams Player of Year: P Lynn, 4th best in league punting average and other stats. I’ll take it! That’s My Lynn!

Rookie of the Year: CB Horner – As a 7th round shower, he’s grown into a 49/65 guy, had 3 picks and pasdef, and was arguably one of the best non-Pigg players on my roster in fighting against the pass. All from the Nickel.


Heart Award: DT Sterne. Nicely done Lenny.


Remind me next year to get a good kick returner.

I have people I drafted on my roster to grow up and replace both Lucas Lucas and Lenny Sterne. So, are you ready to....

Rincon is in baby!

Retirements of note:

OG Lucas Lucas...Sad. I get it, but sad. If he hadn’t started slowly, he may have eclipsed 400 KRB for his career:

Lucas Lucas – 346 KRB, 29 pancakes, 105 sacks allowed, 1 All Pro

We also saw OG Wayne Croom, played his whole career in Cleveland, 2 All Pros, 325 KRB, 30 pancakes an 61 sacks allowed, played 1 fewer year than Lucas Lucas.

Sterne didn’t retire

Others from my various dynasties:

SS Randall clayton, played his whole career in KC, finished with 5 Rings, 3 time All Pro. Surprised he is hanging it up this early. Same draft as Flemming. Finished with 19 picks and 126 pasdef. Another couple of years and Clayton might have pushed others for the most PD in a career (current record is 15< Clayton has 6th most)

I’m giving you the other retirees I think have HOF Credentials in this list:


SILB Frank Newtown, 3 All Pros
SS Paul McMichael, 4 All Pros, 26 int and 101 pasdef

FL Dixon Bernardino, 4 All Pros
DE Farmer, good sats, just one All Pro though

I was hoping Clayton would make it, but retiring after 10 seems off.

[Abe Sargent]

Back to Chargers

So after a 10-6, 8-8, and 10-5-1 seasons, and after holding my season ticket prices constant with no real uptick in attendance, I’m very upset by our revenue streams. It’s time to make a move from San Diego. Despite the great local economy and growth, we aren’t seeing that. We are the 4th lowest value franchise in the NFL. Time to move up.

I like Vegas, Salt Lake City, Portland as potential landing destinations, here is the late 2030s after booming has happened. Take Salt Lake as a good example – No team within 422 miles, 58k avg income, wants a team 100%, 5.1% growth, 1.77 pop, just 12.3 poverty, 100 trend-setting and that’s solid. Vegas? 239 miles to LA, 1.96 mill, 43k salary, 14.9% poverty, 72nd desire, 30 trend, 4.3% growth. Portland? Currently in -0.6% growth, but still 1.84 mill, 30.8, 12.5 pov, etc. I also lke Honolulu as well. 1,32 mill, 58.700 sal, 10.7% pov, 95th wants us, 6.2% growth.

SLC or Hawaii?

I submit a plan for a pimped out stadium in SLC for 1.4 bill, and us on the hook for the full 50%.

Staff Fun Times

I give raises to my coaches in their last year, and head into the draft

We pick 22nd. I replace AC Khalif Barnes with a new AC.

No need for a franchise tag...

Unless I want to force Imme to the table. He wanted a ton of money, but I have multiple big name contracts coming down the pike this year, namely my DEs. He’s just the 21st best RB by current ability, I don’t see a need to tether my cap overly much to him.

[Abe Sargent]

2039 FA!

I extend OG Bening by 4 years, 55 mill. I also ad a year to K Fields and FL Holbert.

Do I want to pay 400 to keep both Mad Mau and Big Toth?

I sign back 6 RFAs.

I need talent in a lot of areas:

Key for me is starters at WR, RB, RT this year, (Maybe LT in the future), and that’s a lot of cash to tie up into players that often cost a lot of money. Do I want to commit about 100 mil of my 315 mill cap to my D Line? Do I want to see 40 mill for Mau and 45 mill for Toth moving forward? Rough. Both are All Pros, and both feed off of each other’s presence, and I’m unsure that keeping one and not the other would really help the team.

Of course I can just try and lean on the draft for OT, RB, and WR. I pick 1.24 this year, but I would really love to sign some later.

And I only have 94 mill in cap space. I sign the one that I know will work later, Mad Mau, and then I can let Toth head into a tag next year, and then sign him from there to a longer term deal.

Parker Maumalanga

4 years, 149 mill: Flat cap hit of 31 mill the first three years and then a dummy cap of 56 mill the last.

OT McHugh is in his final year, but I’m not extending his 16 mill.eyar cap hit beyond this one to help be cap friendly next year.

Any good Fas I want to chase around the block? 76/76 OT Roderick Lane? He wants 85 mill over 4 years. Totally worth it. I could sign him and cut McHugh. He’s just one year younger, but three years of experience less, may help to keep him limber for a while. Do I want to lock that down?

Let’s scout the draft, which may inform my FA, because if I see chance of a great OT or Rb dropping, I don’t want to push my cap out of whack. I interview the top three WR, 4 Rb, and 5 Ots. I think I can get a good OT in the 3 or 4 spot, both look good and came back underrated.

Retaining my own players would be:

Imme, 66 mill, 4 years
Sterne -4.1 mill, 1 year
WR Scott – 18 mill, 3 years

Vs

FA RB Wilson, best in FA by a little over Imme, 60 mill, 4 years

I make an offer to:

RB Derek Coffey, 59/59, 3rd best RB in after Wilson and Imme, 13 mill, 3 years

DT Sterne

Alright, I make that offer to Lane

He is the 3rd best OT in the league. So Ima about to pay him some serious cash

Ready for hitting that End Stage button?

[Abe Sargent]

Week 2 – Imme signs with Denver for 75 mill over 4 years

Week 3 – I bring in both my cheap Rb and expensive OT

I cut McHugh. He’s 22 mill, and the cap saved from cutting him will pay for Lane this year

Huh, I manage to get a solid deal with Toth:

DE Toth, 5 years, 155 mill, 5 years, 37 mill cap hit this year, dummy year with 40 mill in salary at the end, and the middle three years are 27 mill. Not bad, really. I’ll take it

I am not re-signing Scott. This appears to be a deep WR class, and more important, dude just three years as the starter for SD every year since he’s been here has eclipsed 1000+ yards. Good luck finding a new home Scott!

Anyone else I do want to look at in FA?

I extend LB Cameron Cook by 3 years, 13 mill

I make an offer to UFA RT Mickey Bailey, for 6.7 mill 2 years

Week 5 – Colorado Springs Scotts signs fo r18 mill, 3 years

Week 6 – Sterne heads back to us

Week 9 – Our OT Bailey signs

That gives me 42 players under contract for us heading into the draft. Anybody fall I want to make a FA offer to?

Want to bring in a 61/61 FB? Not really.

Nah!

[Abe Sargent]

The 2039 NFL Amateur Draft!

We pick 1.24

La gets us started with WR Colby Bronson from Texas A&M heading off to help out the Rams.

A run on RBs in the 1.3, and then 1.11-1.13 took them all off. Most pf the OTs have gone as well. The last one I really, really like is now the best player, not just at his position, but in the Draft, at 6.5 adjusted grade, LT Darren Vang.

But I made a pledge to not trade up to target players I like to make this harder. So Vang heads off at 1.15. And then at 1.17 the last of the good OTs is gone. So...

I take the best WR on the board, WR Connor Hobson, here, take a look...

https://s17.postimg.org/z0vegh2kf/Hobson_for_teh_Win.png

And there’s my Scott replacement.

Now in the 2nd, what’s next in my queue?

The best player by talent is SLB Jonathan Collier. And if I needed another LB I’d grab him. But my emphasis on getting good ones early in the dynasty has paid off decently enough with my current backers. And you can always find good LBs later. Now, if Collier is a future star?

Any good OTs left? Someone I can massage into a starter? Mah, I go Collier. O can’t see anyone else here worth the pick.


Draft Players:


1st round – FL Connor Hobson
2nd Round – SLB Collier by talent
3rd round, WR Colton Shumway
4th – Maybe FS Bucky Sotelo? Sure, let’s do it.
5th – OT Kent Leibwitz
6th – DE Gus Blakely
7th – CB Jimmy Swinford – Chosen as a potential returner


The vote to SLC passes 55 to 45% and we are heading to Utah!

[Abe Sargent]

We have an A- draft review

Early Rookie Lookie:

FL Colton Shumway – 33/66
SLB Jonathan Collier – 32/66
SE Conner Hobson – 35/59
DE Gus Blakely – 30/59
FS Bucky Sotelo – 22/56
LT Kent Leibowitz – 24/56
CB Jimmy Swinford – 23/32

Once again, we have no players on the Green Page

Late FA

No holdouts or nothing

I make offers to these 11 Undrafted FAs

QB Gavin Connell
QB Howie
RB Edgar Parker
RB Herb Strait
TE Reuben Branch
SE Wayne Wiggins
OT Desmond Schultz
C Ivan Gottlieb
WLB Chandler Hendricks
CB George Jacobs
CB Marvin Franklin


Week 2 – We sign 2

Week 3 – 2 more join the San Diego Train

Week 4 – The rest arrive

[Abe Sargent]

2039 Camp Time!


We sold 22,200 season tickets

I cut:

TE Branch, RB Strait, C Gottlieb, CB Patrick Nevitt, CB Jacobs

I trade DE Santiago Meadows to the Cowboys for their upcoming 4th rounder

We go 3-1 in the preseason have great wins such as 31-0 over Atlanta.

I cut QB Wilbanks

Late Rookie Lookie:

FL Colton Shumway – 33/66 – 41/58
SLB Jonathan Collier – 32/66 – 28/62
SE Conner Hobson – 35/59 - 42/60
DE Gus Blakely – 30/59 – 25/45
FS Bucky Sotelo – 22/56 – 32/65
LT Kent Leibowitz – 24/56 – 27/54
CB Jimmy Swinford – 23/32 – 25/32

Wow that was bad. Only one hit was Sotelo, who was a classic didn’t go to the combine grower. The others were ones I hoped to stick, like Collier, Shumway, and Blakely. That is not a good draft. And Leibowitz can’t be anything other than a sub. He’s 2/24 in run blocking, but 9/60 pass, and 90 str, 52/69 endurance. So not good in stats that I care about.

Here, let me show you how bad I was this draft.

At 1.24 I could have taken, at the same position,

51/65 WR Kus

At 2.24 I could have grabbed OT Stephenson, at 39/59 with better stats. Pr PG Bennett Holmes was still on the board, a 43/69 OG

Wanted a good LB? How about Dominic Davidson at 46/69.

You get the point I’m sure. Sucky sucky sucky draft. Ah well, happens sometimes.

But forget all of that, because I have the best news of all time. One of my 7th rounders, from last year, just boomed all over Christmas:

CB Caiden Horner, now 58/70, BOOM! BOOM!

And I feel twice as good about Horner just blowing up than ai do about my sucky draft class. Crazy, huh? It’ll drop Cook to a very expensive nickel, but that’s fine. I think he’ll be fine there, my nickels tend to.

Let’s GO!!!!!!!!


Again I expect to quick sim this more than anything else. I care a lot more about the offseason than the current one.

[Abe Sargent]

We open with a loss, then two wins before we head to a difficult matchup in Pittsburgh and leave barely losing to go to 2-2 to open the season. We then lose again to push us to 2-3. And that’s a bit of a rallying cry and we begin to win again. We edge the powerful Browns on the road 33-31 to start us off. Then we edge the Broncos 24-23. And then a 19-7 win against the Raiders and we finish 5-3 at the half. With virtually no injures either, which is nice. The next week we barely beat the Bengals, another 6 win team, 27-24, and we begin to pick up injuries. We then lose to the Chiefs just barreling down, and both of my Safeties are injured for the rest of the regular season. I have to massage my roster. We’ll start Cook at SS. We then smash the Bears 40-14 to bring us back from these close games. We win 13-9 against a surprisingly chippy Miami squad, and DT Newhart is out and Sterne is heading back in to close the final quarter as we enter 8-4. We lose to the Lions to open up the final stretch. A rough loss to the Broncos follows. We follow with a win vs the Pack and then we win 16-13 and finish 10-6.

At 10-6, we beat the 9-7 Chiefs to win the division.

[Abe Sargent]

The 2039 NFL Playoffs

Afc:

1. Baltimore, 11-5
2. Tennessee, 115
3. San Diego, 10-6
4. Buffalo, 9-7
5. Pitt, 10-6
6. KC, 9-7

So we are one game back from the leaders, and had yet another 10-win season.

Week 1 – WC

We host and own KC 38-14. Picks by Horner and Pigg, MOM is Coffey with 3 scores on the ground, Lofton injured in the late 1st and does not return. Both Stone and Toth with 1.5 sacks. 3 KRb by LT Lane.

Pittsburgh takes out Buffalo 17-15
SF can’t win in Arizona, 30-24
Seattle can’t win in Minnesota, 20-13

[Abe Sargent]

Week 2 – Division Champs

We head to Baltimore, and Pittsburgh to Tennessee

Arizona at Washington
Minnesota at Atlanta

We are favored by 4.

QB Lofton is questionable with a strained hammy,, but he’ll clearly play. In Lofton we trust.

Pittsburgh wins 43-36
Atlanta wins 33-25
Washington wins 30-24

And..........


We win 42-35

Lofton is banged up early, and backup QB Autenrieth is MOM with 21 of 31, 270 and 3:1, hitting Hoblert for 131 and 1 scores, and TE Peters for the other two TDs. Coffeey adds a rush TD. Pick by SS Lazuka, returned 91 yards for a score. 2.5 sacks by Mad Mau.

[Abe Sargent]

Week 3 – Conference Championship


Wash at Atl

But,

We host the Steelers.

The only way a #3 seed hosts is if the first two seeds were dropped on the road, which is very unusual,. And that happened. Because both us and the Steelers were 10-6 in the season, and we are hosting, we are favored by 2, but the Steelers beat us 27-34 week 4.

So it’s anyone’s game really. This is my first Championship appearance with the Chargers. Can we get to the big game? I move in QB Autenrieth instead of Lofton due to his injury. I want to give my backup a full week of practice.

Do it for Lenny Sterne!

We win 16-13.

QB Autenriethm 22 of 40 1:0, 235 yards, TE Peters the score. Coffey held to nothing on the ground. Picks by SS Lazuka and FS Maloney. MOM is Toth with 3.5 sacks 1 FF and 1 Fum Rec.

Washington 17 over Atlanta’s 10

[Abe Sargent]

The 2039 NFL Super Bowl

Your AFC Champion #3 Seed 10-6 San Diego Chargers

Vs

Your NFC Champion #2 seed 11-5 Washington Redskins


Lofton is still injured. Can we make it all the way with my backup? We have a potent defense to stagnate my foes, but beating Washington won’t be easy.

We are favored by 2

We win. We beat the spread

MOM is QB Dusty Autenrieth

Autenrieth:

24 of 32, 248, 2:0 – hit Holbert and Peters for scores

RB Coffey - 18 for 133, 1 TD

2 picks by CB Pigg, who would not be denied

We allowed no sacks on the day. 3 KRb each by RT Bailey and Hitchcock.


Enjoy It!!!

Derek’s 1399 yards was 2nd most in yards, but his 5 scores was very, very low, and I was surprised he made All Pro. But I’ll take it. Need to get that ypc up. You can play rotisserie with the RB spot as long as you dedicate to one feature back and rock a good line. A better line would have gotten him to 1600 or 1700 easy. But we’re still a solid line with three feature players.

Peter’s 1168 is, I think, the most receiving yards I’ve ever gotten for a TE ever. I’m nto sure, I’ve have to check my best ever like Ed Gardener or . Hold on, let me do a quick search here on the forums.

Ed was in my FOF2k1 dynasty, where it was harder to get your TEs involved in the catching game. Never got more than a mid 800s. Finished with 7 All Pros. Never ever had a 1000 yard season , let alone this good. Here...let me show you how good Peters was.

This is the receiving stats for this year for all players, listed by yards catching. As you can see, we only have 8 players with 1000+ yard seasons. 2 are mine! Go Peters and Holbert! But...Peters is 2nd in catching behind just one player, a WR. As you can see, Peters just had an abusively good year.

Bening again led my team in KRB. 2 pancakes and 2 sacks allowed, so a solid year by the Bening. Tate’s not that...bad. But I fell I can do better. Lane was an absolute surprise. He didn’t shut down sacks or lock down runs or grade down folks with pancakes, despite his sheer ability here.

Toth led our team in sacks, and was 2nd in the league. The DPlay of Year had 21.5. Mau’s 13 was also very respectable, and both did some serious damage in bringing down the QB hard and fast. While subbing, DE Eiguren had a fantastic year with 8.5 sacks. There were a few packages I ran him out there. He got 8.5 sacks in 196 pass plays vs Mad Maus 13 in 622. Serious action.

Not a great year for us. We had a lot more picks last year. Pigg’s 2 was okay I suppose, along with a solid 13 pasdef. We had injuries all over my safeties, at one point, all three were questionable or worse.

Team Awards:

Off Player of the Year: TE Peters . Yeah, he earned it. All Pro, solid, led all TEs in stats and led all but one WR in the same. Can’t deny that. Peters for the win.

Def Player of the Year: DE Toth. His first award. Hopefully his first of many, because he was rocking all over the block

Special Teams PotY: CB RET Swinford – He did what I needed him to. Return the ball all over.

Rookie of the Year: WR Connor Hobson is looking solid with his 753 yards, 6 scores, and solid contributions to the team moving forward

Heart Award: DE Timothy Eiguren – Eight and a half sacks. As a rotational guy. 8.5 sacks!

That’s a lot of sacks

Staff Draft – I have to hire a new OC when my old one was selected as a HC. My new guy runs more of an attacking passing game.

Anyone I want to tag? Surprisingly, with Big Toth and Mad Mau both under long term deals, nope.


All three of my DEs rock. And both Big Toth and Mad Mau came from the same draft, in the 1st and 3rd rounds. We got mad value for both and a total refit of my line. You can also see 6th rounder Eiguren in there as well. I’m surprised that in this game, DEs have been solid later.

Anyways, I have 40 people under contract, and of the others, just TE McCaskill, LB Thaphituck, LB Berns, and FS Irving Maloney are UFAs . I expect to move into FS Sotelo next year, so Maloney, at 34, won’t be my guy anymore.

2040 Free Agency

43 mill under cap, 30 for non-rookies.

What do I need?

Backup: TEx2,

I extend QB Autenrieth by a year

Ditto Fields by 3 years, LS Jackson by 1 year, I sign 2 RFAs,

With the retirement of a lot of high profile Qbs recently, Lofton is now the 7th best QB in te league by current ability, and 9th by future. He wants to get paid like it too. Ben Swift? 11th best. Rhodes? 14th best. Tamm dropped heavily in ability to 33/33 and was just cut by the Chiefs. You are going to love, love, love this....


Current QB for the Chiefs: QB Corey Callaway, 47/47 undrafted QB who won 2 Rings with the Chiefs. A little Otto Graham... :)



[Abe Sargent]

I got a lot of talent in their last year I need to make decisions on: QB Lofton, TE Peters, P Lynn, C Tate, RT Bailey, RG Conley, LB Hanson, WR Holbert, DE Eiguren, DT Time Stone, CB Dave Vaughn. All of them were good, solid players. All of have question marks. Underplaying their talent level (Tate), expensive (Lynn, Peters), aging, (Holbert) or backups that want serious cash to stay (Eiguren, Conley, Vaughn)

Now I’ma start with CB Cook, not on this list. As a pricey nickel last year, and then giving him starts at S when we had too many injuries, he had.... 0 picks and a mighty 4 pasdef. Time to cut bait. He’s clearly dropped in quality to 50/50 and in stats. I cut Louis Cook.

That; saves me 14 mill in cap space this year. Now, let’s make an offer to extend...

TE Peters. This is going to have a major sticker shock, but I think for the first time he’s arguably worth it, as opposed to others like TE Perry or Lluellyn who never really played up to their talent level.

Here’s the deal:

5 years, 80 mill. I make it flatish

Cap hits each year – 14.5, 14.2, 14.5, 14.6, 23.7

That will keep him in line. His cap hit was 6.5 mill before I jumped to 14.5. So I still have 35 mill in cap room after that.

Next...

Do I want to pay 31.2 mill to a Punter for 4 years? Lynn, man, sorry. I’m not there.

I extend Lofton by a year. 80 mill, 2 years. Guy is getting paid.

To extend Holbert I’d need to go from 7 mill this year to 45 mill over 3 years, and jump to 15 mill this year. Lots fo cash for a 10th year vet at WR.

Because he didn’t get a lot fo play, Conley is angry. So I trade him. I ship him to Green Bay for their 4th next year and 6th two years later.

DT Stone – 42 mill, 4 yeas
DE Eiguren, 2 years, 9 mill

Tate wants an epic amount of cash. Like 100 mill over 5 years epic. Now if he was playing at a All Pro level of play, sure, I’d consider it. But now? In three years a my starter he has just 69 KRB, 7 pancakes and 14 sacks allowed. He’s never sniffed the panties of an All Pro. Now, his block % has increased each year, from 18 to 32 to to 34.. But his sacks increased last year to 7. He is the 3rd highest rated current O Line in the league. Why is he not playing more like Sandmeyer? Or many other Cs?

So, I’ma hold off. I can’t commit my future cap that hard to a guy who can’t produce on the field. If he does this year, I can tag him. If not, I can tag P Lynn.

Should I trade Eiguren? Or just sign him for another year. He’s good. I can either get the 2.6 this year from the Jags and trade them my 3.32 to upgrade, or I can get a future 2nd. He’s young, cheap, and on the rise. I trade Eiguren to the Jags for their 2nd rounder next year.

I extend DT Stone.

I’ll hold off on the others until I’m sure.

End Stage

[Abe Sargent]

After I resigned and traded folks, here’s my current need list:

RB back, TEx2 back, Maybe WR back, OG Back, maybe future RT starter, backup DE, 2xDT backups, 3xbackup LBs, 3backup rotational CBs and S.

So nothing overly pricey.

FS Burt Sellers, perhaps another return specialist
2 years, 7.5 mill, RT Glen Coffee,

I take a gander at the draft. This draft appears to be CB and FS heavy in talent, but very, very weak most other places. I just scout out random players that might be there, just so I won’t be forced to take a 25/55 CB or something at 1.32 but a player of value.

There’s a solid, aging 55/55 QB out there who is great. I make him an offer for 5 mill to come in and be my backup and QB mentor. I can’t relay on my junky backup guy to get me that win normally, I need to have the Roberts like I did with Tamm. I lost multiple Super Bowls (potentially) with injuries in the post-season to players like Arledge. I don’t want to get to the 2nd weekend and not have any options if Lofton goes down again, and this guy, Mitchell McGee, is good at 17th years in the league. He’s also a mentor if I find a good QB to groom.

I make on offer for 6.8 mill, 2 yeas to TE Robert Long. If he signs, I’ll move my aging backup TE in his last year, who wants way too much money to stay.

Alright, let’s rock these four:

Week 2 - We sign QB Mitchell McGee

Week 7 – FS Zellers signs

Compare my return skills to see about this potential upgrade:

KR – Swinford is 41/41. Zellers is 76/88
PR – Swinford is 75/80. Zellers is 49/63

I think Zellers is the better returner. So if I just one one key returneer, it’s like Zellers. Now, in other regards, who is better?

Swinford is 46/47 in INT vs Zellers 12/16; Swinford is 16/25 in run D vs Zellers 38/68, Swinford and Ze;ers are about the same in Man 2 Man, Zomen, and Zellers is 42/50 in Bump N Run vs Swinfords 28/30. Zellers is also 32 punish vs Swinford’s 54. So I like Swinford;’s higher INT, hitting, to Zellers better run D and B N R. That’s not unimportant for a roster spot commitment.

Week 8 – LB Thaphituck signs with Miami for 11 mill and 3 years

Week 9 – TE Long joins us. LB Berns heads to SF for 6.5 mill, 2 years

Week 11 – Coffee signs with us

We brought in:

RT Coffee – 40/59 RT
FS Zellers, 27/42 KR/PR
QB McGee, 55/55
TE Long, 55/55

I cut TE Buning.

Goodbye Free Agency

[Abe Sargent]

Hello Draft!!!

The 2040 NFL Amateur Draft

Phily starts us off today by grabbing WR Walter Lind, from Texas.

The 1st round drips by, and we are hit at 1.32...

Where is there talent?

I have a solid looking OT who came back overrated. A lesser looking CB who came back very underrated, a stud C who is overrated,


Now, to inform this decision:

Combines:

OT Anderson – red dash, blue sole and strength
CB Flynn – blue dash, strength, agility and pspec drills
C Armstrong – red dash, red str, blue sole, agi, and even bjump

So, a few things:

1). None of these players are positions of need. I have three solid OTs on my roster, and two starters beyond this year. I have two OGs on my roster of solid quality. I have a stud (supposedly) at C. So I don’t need Anderson or Armstrong. I as was just scouting to find quality here.
2). Meanwhile, with the boom of CB talent last year, I don’t need to invest a 1st here on Flynn either.
3). Now, Pigg is not getting younger. He’s 31 year’s old. So I could feasibly grab Flynn, start him at nickel this year, and then if Pigg drops and Flynn rises, flip them next.
4). I could also move C Tate from OC to OG, drop him to the low 70s likely, probably extend him for a lot less cash, and then run Armstrong in the middle.
5). I have not committed to any of my RTs beyond next year, and none have any major cash invested in them, so I could draft Anderson, and then move him to start when he’s ready with no pressure.

So, what do I do?

First, I feel like removing Anderson from the equation, given his lower bars and overrated result. Underrated? Better bars? Sure. But too much of a risk as is. Anderson nope...

Given his huge bars, Armstrong’s overrated is not the biggest deal in the world too me. Very overrated? Maybe. But if he winds up in the 70s, then I’ll be fine. And that would likely be overrated from where he currently is right now. (My best guess is that he’s in the 80s pot right now)

But Flynn has a plan for coming onto my roster and not sucking. If he’s great, and CB Horner wants too much to reup, I have flexibility there too, and that’s why I was scouting out CBs for here at 1.32, in case talent met need met this spot...

So I’ll take Flynn and hope this wasn;t a mistake.

Anderson goes the next pick at 2.1 Armstrong to the Jets at 2.4. At the back of the 2nd I have a great options. No middle LB has gone, yet, and there’s one I like here, Alec Stowers. He may be good enough to be my SLB moving forward, as Cook has not flourished in that role. BAP again Is a nice opportunity when DE Johnnie Daugherty is still on the board at the 3.32 spot. He is the top player, by far, on the board by adjusted rank, and I like his bars too. I also like OT Dole and CB Tucker Morton here as well, but Daugherty is clearly the talent. So I grab him, and then Dole at the 4.6 and CB Morton at the 4.32 spot. Morton may be a shower who drops, but has good bars right now. And Morton is also insurance against a Flynn bust.

At 5 6 and 7 I reach to take players well about their grade. Both WR Roberson, DE Harada and RB Kramer were uncombined people that had good bars and intervewed. Actually, forgot about Harada when I drafted DE Daugherty was someone I was targeting laters. Ah wells, it happens.


Draft:

1.32 CB Flynn
2.32 LB Alec Stowers
3.32 DE Daughterty
4.6 OT Daryl Doyle
4.32 CB Tucker Morton
5.32 – WR Ryan Roberson
6.32 DE Johnny Harada
7.32 – RB Arturo Kramer

[Abe Sargent]

We have just a C+ grade. Sad.

On the Green Page are both Harada and Daugherty. Flynn too.

Early Rookie Lookie:

LB Alec Stowers, 37/74
DE Daugherty, 30/67
DE Harada - 34/66
CB Flynn – 46/65
CB Morton – 31/64
OT Dole – 11/62
RB Kramer – 37/56
SE Roberson – 29/44 – Was very underrated when I interviewed

That is exactly how you keep your momentum when you draft in the back of each round. Just BAP the draft. I had no starter needs in any position, so really just took the best players at each spot, barring something like a FB at 1.32. I didn’t need another LB at 2.32. I had four potential starters for three spots. I don’t have a 3-4 anymore. Do I regret it? No! I forgot I was targeted Harada later and took Daugherty, the best player on the board at any-non-kicker, and do I regret either one right now? Nope. I already have two starting CBS. Do I regret Flynn or Morton? You get the idea.

Now I would not be surprised if a few of these don’t turn out perfectly well post-camp, there could be some showers not growers who will diminish, but I like what I did here. Especially if Roberson grows and the others hold their collective serve.


We get an offer for a 4th rounder by Phily for QB Autenrieth. I swap it to two years down the road and they accept.

[Abe Sargent]

2040 Late Free Agency

No holdouts. I kind of thought Holbert might have held out. Nice to see he didn’t.

Who do I like enough to chase?

I was probably going to try bringing in Maloney as a backup, but the value of these Cbs leads me to, um...not. Uh...you know...what if my CBs bust? Or I get injuries. Yeahh, I hv eht cash, let’s do it.

Uhhh...actually, let’s not. Zellers will be not disabled. That means I’d always have three of my Ss active, would Maloney be anything other than a deactivated player? Let’s see.

Yeah, okay, let’s do it.

I make an offer to Maloney.

SE Roberson – 29/44 – 33/46

UFas of Note – C Maloney is 42/62 and C Fleming is 23/63

That’s not too bad yet.

The Giants give me a future 4th for LT Leibowitz

I get a 5th this year from the ’Boys for CB Junkin

I move some people’s positions around, like Harada to DT for example.

We go 4-0 and finish with no injuries at all in preseason. I keep QB Andy Summers and trim the others.


Final Rookie Lookie:

LB Alec Stowers, 37/74 – 44/74 – 47/71
DE Daugherty, 30/67 – 35/66 – 34/62
DE Harada - 34/66 – 40/67 – 47/78 – WHOA!

RB Kramer – 37/56 – 41/56 – 41/53
SE Roberson – 29/44 – 33/46 – 34/51

A few of these (Dole, Kramer, Roberson) are disappointments, but I bet you see see how like the others all. Pigg drooped to 59/59, so I swap Flynn over as my starter right now. Ready?

[Abe Sargent]

Season

We start 1-0 and then go 3-0 before repeating the exact same pattern to finish 6-2 at the half. We have wins against major players, like 6-2 Broncos. 5-3 Falcons, 5-3 Ravens, 5-4 Colts and that’s a good start. We have a real offensive coordinator with the spread, and we are airing the crap out of the ball. Here is Lofton at the halfway mark:

196 of 279, for 2296, 25:5, 117.3 rating. I have three players with at least 500 yards receiving in Peters, Holbert, and Hobson. We’re a little slower on the defensive side of the ball, save for Caiden Horner and his 4 picks. We win twice more with a 59-0 annihilation against Tampa before we fall beneath the Kansas City onslaught. MOM was LB DeAndre Jacobs. We lose then to 23-20 to Buffalo to finish 8-4 heading into the final quarter of the season. We defeat the Saints, and then travel to KC to take on the 9-4 Chiefs. We lose 28-25...but...Lofton set a record you’ll see in a moment (for this dynasty, not for the NFL in general). We win, and then lose, and finish 10-6.

But...no playoffs...we finished FOURTH in the AFC West :(

[Abe Sargent]

Here:

AFC West:

Oakland – 11-5 Won, #2 seed in AFC
Denver – 11-5, Top Seeded Wild Card
KC – 10-6, Wild Card
SD – 10-6

That is sucky.

Ah well. We lost our chance to repeat as champs.

As you can see, with 470 points, we had the league’s highest scoring offense. At 292, we allowed the 2nd fewest points in the league after Cincinnati’s 289. So we had a good year in terms of both points scored and allowed. And yet....no playoffs!

Coffey had enough attempts to do well, but a low ypc is sucky and hurt. It was a down year for RBs. At least we crossed 1000, that was cool....

A few goods and bads here. II was hoping Peters at least would duplicate his 1000+ season from last year, and was slowed late with a few lesser games. But Hobson is here getting a solid year too. Coffey? Man. If he had been better at YPC? He could easily have had 2000 yards from scrimmage. Everyone looks good. Oh, and we had just 7 players with 1000 or more yards catching this season.

Well Tate finally made it I suppose. Took a while but 42/4 and just 2 sacks allowed definitely counts. Lane and Bening both with solid years as well, but again, I want 30+ KRB from people with that talent level, but we just didn’t much behind Lane.

Big Toth was out for a quarter of the year with an injury, so Mad Mau led my team in sacks with 10. Newton, Cook, Stone, you can see value here in a lot of places rushing the passer and dropping him madly. Good stuff!

WOW Horner! He led the league in Picks, and in fact had 8 through 13 games and I was wondering if he get to 10, but nope, 8 it is. Dude picked the ball. There was one game (the 59-0) where the dude had 3 picks and 2 returned for scores which was nicer than nice. Flynn was fine in his rookie outing as well. I found Sotelo...disturbing. ZERO passes defensed? For a starting FS? How is that...feasible?


Team Awards:

Off. Player of the Year: QB Lofton – Nicely done! Ribbed for their pleasure.

Def. Player of the Year: CB Horner. Duh. Led my team in two stats and led the league in picks? Duh. He even had 3 sacks!

Sp. Teams. Player of the Year: P Lynn. Still a hoss, still leading in a lot of stuff out there.

Rookie of the Year: CB Flynn. He started, was 2nd in picks, had one returned for a score, and looked pretty sexy out there, right?

Heart Award: CB Swinford. Not only did Swinford do well running, but as a gunner, led my team with 17 special teams tackles and 2 FFs, 1 Fum Rec. Man. Dude does everything on special teams.

Hall of Fame – How did Everett Parmely not make it to the HOF with 3 All Pros and a Def Player of the Year? So sad. 6 inductees, none of them mine

Retirements of Note:


From us:

QB McGee retires: 55151 pass yards, 324:157 ratio, 88.5 rating, 1 Ring, Off Rookie of the Year once. Never any other major awards. Will his stats and longevity get him into the HOF?

SS Irving Mahoney – 35 int, 94 pasdef, had a late career renaissance with us, and 2 Rings.


SLB Randall Flemming...So sad...

LB Sam Danieles retires

C Sherman Carlilse another of my KC players, never stood with me for long though.



Those with a potential HOF parabola?

SS Darrell Liao, 38 and 120 and 6 All Pros

NT Bob Richard, 62 sacks, 3 All Pros, Def Rookie of the Year

LT Dwight Bryant – 377 KRB, 51 pans, 58 sacks allowed 3 All Pro

QB Kent Crane – 41520 pass yards, 213:129 ratio, 83.9 rating, 1 Ring 1 All Pro

[Abe Sargent]

Okay, with Flemming out of the league, I’m feeling a little nostalgic. Let’s look at Hall of Fame players from this dynasty:

There are four major types of Hall of Famers that you can get in FOFC. I am dividing these into those groups:

Players you inherited when you took over a team that were already good:

Cleveland - OT Joe Thomas


Players you signed as Free Agents who made the HOF after being contributors to your team:

NA

Players you drafted but left and had their HOF career elsewhere, or who you signed late in their career and spend a year or two with you before retirement.

NA

Players you drafted and who spent the majority of the HOF career on your roster: (For this purpose, I do consider those I brought in as undrafted free agent rookies)

Cleveland – DE Joey Horner, Undrafted FA
Cleveland – QB Brandon Arledge, Undrafted FA
Cleveland – DE Julio Stanton, 2.27
Cleveland – OT Shon Coleman, 3.13
Cleveland – RB Diego Lorey, 1.3
Cleveland – WR Dustin Wright, 1.32
Cleveland – SLB Karl Rincon, 1.31


It’s still too early for my KC players who retired to start making the HOF. We all know Flemming will be in. I would expect WLB DeAndre Jacobs as well, with his 96 sacks, 4 All Pros, and continuing to play. 5 Rings. I would have thought Tamm was going to make it, but he suffered a mid-career collapse to his skills as a QB. With a couple more good high quality seasons, or three or four not-good ones, OT Axel Kelley would have the chops. Sandy? Back to being a FA after another tenure in Settle was lost. His numbers dropped in the last three years with injuries. But with longevity, I could see it (Centers need a lot more KRB, so the 400ish threshold for OTs and OGs for KRBs is more for Cs). Will Cleveland have DT Damien Alcott make it? KC’s De Nicky Cobb? DT Lenny Sterne? You get the idea, I’m sure.

On my current team, Big Toth and Mad Mau have the ability, but not the ongoing stats yet. Toth needs to have one or two big seasons to get there, he’s 54.5 in 5 seasons. Mad Mau is 53 in the same. CB Horner already has 12 picks in 3 years.

So this is my dynasty, and I can do it. I cheat. I decide to put my dynasty on autopilot for a few years. Move everything it having my staff draft, my staff sign, my staff run everything. Total AI autopilot.

We go 9-7, miss the playoffs, and then, the new Hall of Fame includes DT Damien Alcott, so he made it in. DeAndre Jacobs retires. Then we go 8-8. And no one is added to the HOF from my zone of control. Then 5-11. Then 8-8 and a win in our AFC West and loss. Flemming makes it. Then 5-11 and Jacobs makes it.

So no to Cobb and Sterne and many others of quality. Just Jacobs and Alcott, Flemming from the KC years. So sad. So sad.

[Abe Sargent]

Staff Draft – After my AC gets hired as an OC for another team, I hire Quinton Spain s my new AC.

Okay, who do I want to franchise? Tate? Lynn? Tate.

2041 NFL FA

Despite his All Pro last year, Tate now wants a more reasonable cap hit. So, I sign him too:

5 years 100 mill, with a bloated year 5:

Year 1 – 3 16.5 mill hit, year 4 18, and then 31 year 5.

I sign RFAs C Jalen Mahoney, LB Fairbarin, QB Summers

I sign SS Percy Lazuka to a 4 year 42 mill deal.

We have a lot of talented UFas:

50/50 CB Dave Vaughn, who was supposed to be my nickel for a while is now up.

WLB Lukas Hanson, very old, still is 83 in pass run tech, and 91 in prstrength, 86 in pass diag, and 70 pun hitter.

RT Mickey Bailey
WR Curtis Holbert, 52/52 old WR
