Alright, FA Time

Week 2 -

I make offers to:

LS Ed Jackson, a 100 LS guy
P Edward Morrison


Now, there is one amazing studlike player in FA – 84/84 CB Jorge Odenbach, 6 year vet. Want to send him a crap-ton of cash? I’d rather pay him than my current #2 who sucks.

So do I need two great studs at CB? Or should my cap head elsewhere? Now I can cut CB Bishop, save 10 mill this year, and then use that 10 mill to defray the cost of Odenbach. But 12 mill this year and more is not doable with my cap in this condition. Paying megabucks for a QB changes the math of a team. I don’t have the cap agility to make this player, even though dropping from a 31 56/56 to 26 year old 84/84, would normally be worth it all, day, long. But not tonight.

I need that cash. I trim CB Bishop, and make an offer to CB Middlehurst, a 55/55 guy for 13 mill over three years.

C Darren Sheldon, 2 years, 7 mill, will be leader and make two others happy.

I make an offer to DE Benton for 2 years, 8.5 mill.

SS Irving Maloney, 2 years, 6.8 mill

Let’s advance...

Week 3 - CB Odenbach signed for 120 mill over 4 years. I bump my offer for Middlehurst.


Week 4 – We bring in DE Benton. CB Middlehurst signs with Miami for more than 1 mill less than we were offering. I make an offer to retain CB Darien Overbeck for 7.24 mill over 2 years

I cut DE Sullivan

Week 6 – We sing SS Maloney.

SS Maloney is amazing. He has a 6 Run D, and then 92, 34, 98, 83, 94, 98 in the rest of his stats. He seems like a natural FS, so I move him to FS.

Week 7 – P Morrison arrives. We trim P Copeland. C Sheldon arrives too.

Week 9 – We bring back our CB Target

Week 10 – We bring in LS Ed Jackson

I make an offer to SLB Corey Proxmire for 3 years, 11 mill, come in as a leader

Week 11 – I bring in Proxmire
