[MIJB#19]

General Manager Notes: 50 signed
3 more to have a full roster.

LB Stephen Rhodes and S Craig Clancy signed 3-year deals with us today. With that, we've brought back all our 2014 defensive players, aside from LB Micah Halvorson (we'll look into that in a day or two) and the retirement of LB Luke Thompson.

My attempts to have WR Vinny Buysse and DT Ben Courcy to sign a new long-term deal that would also free up some cap space, both failed. As per usual, their player agents were unavailable for feedback, they just said "no" and hung up the phone. So rude. But that's life in the IHOF, that's how player agents work. We'll make a second attempt, because we could use some of that cap space to have one more look at the free agents pool.

We could also use some space later on for the renegotiations with upcoming free agents after 2105, but it makes no sense to renegotiate for that reason before mid-pre-season. The only time during the season it makes sense to extend contracts is between pre-season week 3 and opening day.
