FA Time!



I actually get a trade offer for DE Rogers that I don’t automatically reject – a 59/59 RB and a 1.18 pick this year. But I can’t make that play. If it were Burton they were coming after? But not Rogers.

Players that I may need to extend:

SS Malachi McKnight
WLB Casey Joyner
LS Rex Cole
CB Cary Greene
CB Monty Glenn
DE Jordan Rogers
DE Gregory Burton
RB Steve Conley


Some of these, cough, Rogers, cough, is going to cost some serious cash to keep.

I extend Cole.

I want to bring McKnight and Rogers into my full-time contract club, but here are the players from the next year’s draft we are going to want to keep around as well:

LB Van Ellwood, 60/67 whom I’ll likely move back to SLB now that Wilkerson is retired
DT Zachery Stevenson 50/54
TE Tony Pasho 60/60
OT Sergio Keith 71/71

Here’s the McKnight/Rogers problem:

SS Malachi McKnight – 57/57:

Currently at 1.3 mill because he was a 6th rounder. Extends to 50+ mill and 5 year deal.

DE Rogers – 85/85:

Currently at 5 mill as a 1.22 overall pick by us. Wants 5 years and 160+ mill, jumping to 25 this year and then 29 next.

That is some major cap damage


At 60/60, Gasho is going to want 10+ mill a year as the 7th best TE in the league.

TEs:

94/94
83/83
67/67
66/66
64/64
63/63
60/60 – Gasho
58/58
55/55
54/54
48/58

Top ten TE by current or future includes those 11 folks. A 60/60 Gasho is worth a real contract. No question.


In FA/Draft I am looking for these starters:

FB
OLB
RB

And these backups:

QB
RBx2
WRx3
C
OG
OT
DE
DTx2
LBx2
CBx3


CB Allen Hutchings is in his 10th year and already began to fall and free agent signee Cary Greene is 9th year. Both are 31. Getting a younger CB starter wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

I advance FA a week to get to be able to make offers:
