General Manager notes: Who the fuck is Ellis? He's our quarterback!
Yes, he's back. Quite honestly, we had a plan B, offering Neil Poling (the 7,000-yard passer) a contract, but maintaining Ellis McAlister was plan A after all.

The draft didn't deliver any quarterbacks that wowed me and my staff. in the first three rounds we've now picked wide receiver Theodore Bondy (as I mentioned earlier), safety Emmitt Miller and defensive tackle Wally Loop.

Miller is a smart, fast safety, did very well in the position specific score. He may be considered undersized at 5'9", but we think his play diagnosis, endurance, intercepting skills and experience in a zone defense make him a starting quality defensive back.

Loop will bring another tower to our defensive line, as the 6'6" rookie joins backups Cameron Erlitz (6'7") and Erik Shrader (6'6"). We have good faith Loop will bring along the speed that for years, decades perhaps, made us one of, if not the best pass rushing defense in the league.

We've also signed veteran safety Peyton Hines, outbidding our division rivals from Paris. Hines is a ballhawker and will be asked to mentor Miller, while bringing depth to the unit.

Last and probably least importantly, we've signed our restricted free agent quarterback Frank Graul, defensive end Ezekiel Wylie, punt returner Gabe Broady, cornerback Frankie Youngblood. Negotiations with tight end Gavin Stern are ongoing. He had an active role on our offense last season, has the potential to play a lot in our 2 and 3 tight end formations. It's likely we'll bring him back on a three-year deal close to what he's seeking.

More worrisome are the contract negotiations with Craig McCorkle. Playing on his final rookie contract deal, he's got every right to demand a real contract following an All IHOF first team season. But we're apparently wide apart in what he wants and we want him to get. As per usual in this situation, the moronic player agent tells him to go for a hilariously low bonus and take much less guaranteed money than we've offering him.

Will these player agents ever get their fix?
