STAFF TIME!

I gave raises to my DC and AC, and make no changes in the staff draft




I have….

56 mill in cap space, 37 players under roster. I need 10mill for my draftees.

Now I planned for life without Stanton….

Here are my players currently free:

Stanton
Kempthorn
CB Gonzalez
TE Ruddy
FL Lynch


That’s it
We also have 10 RFAs from my roster as well,

Now, we have these major players coming up that I need the cash to resign:

LB Rincon – All Pro all three years. Have to resign him
RB Lorey is final year of his deal. We need to deal with reupping him
CB Gregory Canada is going to be in the discussion.
CB Schmidtke is up for a new deal
Shon Coleman
WR Dustin Wright
FS Miles Tatum

Some good, quality backups like LB Tubbs and Gibbons and RB Snyder

That’s a lot

To franchise Stanton would be 28.5 mill. Basically, I could franchise him, and then…. I’m not sure what else. II’;d still have a good 18 mill and 38 players on my roster. I could probably keep Rincon and most of my reupping FAs for that. Extend RFAs too. Anyone with a bloated contract who’s no longer worth it?

It’s hard to imagine my team without Stanton. 8 All Pros, 2 DPotYs. 127.5 sacks and growing. And I only am forced to do this because the game mechanic of players not resigning after a second tag.

I so franchise Stanton. I don’t need any of these other bums that are FAs, and I’ll likely cut him in a few minutes after I Start reupping folks. But I want to give Stanton that chance!
