Off Season

Jimmy Graham retires after exactly 100 games for the Monarchs in nine seasons. He would have played more were it not for the 2019 season being ruined by injury:

Receptions - 368 (2nd)
Yards - 4650 (2nd)
Touchdowns - 27 (2nd)
Games Started - 100 (5th)

Our staff is kept around for another season - the ninth season in Monarchs history, and we've had the same head coach and defensive coordinator in all that time.

We have only $9m spare in the salary cap and therefore don't make any signings, preferring to extend the guys we already have. Our first ever draft pick, LT Brock Haley, is off to the Pats as a free agent. He leaves after starting 85 games, but just 5 in the past two seasons.

Draft Class

1.24 - RDT Tom Huntley (25/41)
2.23 - RCB Byron Whiting (26/43)
3.22 - RDE Eli Cooley (18/30)
4.21 - WLB Tristan Biegen (23/31)
4.31 - WLB Brady Conn (25/38)
5.24 - LT Roy Schmitz (16/38)
6.23 - RT Randy Steddick (22/36)
7.22 - RB Grayson Heinrich (26/35)

Cecil Shorts begins a holdout. I don't really think we can keep him any longer, given he is now rated 39/39 and is asking for $7m per year for three more seasons!

We can't find a trade partner and so it's time to say goodbye to a club legend:

Receptions - 563 (1st)
Receiving Yards - 7591 (1st)
Receiving Touchdowns - 40 (1st)
100 Yards Receiving - 20 (1st)
Points Scored - 242 (3rd)
All-Purpose Yards - 7608 (2nd)
Games Started - 129 (1st)

With Shorts leaving the club, the only two remaining Jacksonville Jaguars from 2013 are SS John Cyprien and RT Luke Joeckel.

Be not afeard. The isle is full of noises, sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight, and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears; and sometimes voices,
That, if I then had wak'd after long sleep, will make me sleep again; and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open and show riches ready to drop upon me, that, when I wak'd, I cried to dream again.
