Indeed it must be a slow job. I'm still working on that start 2002, filling up and making some edits on players. Checking up players that made their debut in 2003 and 2004 but actually was undrafted from 2000 and 2001. Then if they didn't play in the regular season in 2002 they just got lost even if they in later years had good careers.
Since they not in start 2002 FDT file at start they are then not in the draftfiles after either.
So need you pin the m down too, which is going over each and every transfer teams did during all of 2002 and 2003 to controll.

Example a player like LB Jay Foreman, that was in the draftfile of 1999 but not in base 2002 startup file. Then he would never play those 5-6 years he actually did for several teams from 2003 onwards.
He for sure was not a shoe-in coming contracts.
Check this out.

Copied from one of mass sites of useless info.
"Texans | Contract Update: Foreman - 11:30 PT: Updating previous stories, the AP reports the contract that LB Jay Foreman signed with the Houston Texans was worth $12.1 million over five seasons. A signing bonus of $2.2 million was also included"

So yes Wudu it will take time, and I'm just concentrating on 2002 onwards.
