INITIAL SETUP

Universe in Year 14, starting in 2021. I controlled the team myself 2008-2019. I let the AI control everything starting in 2020. My first QB was about to retire at that point, so I thought it would be kind of fun to start from scratch with a team that already has records and whatnot in place.
Empty Cupboard. Released everyone. Starting from scratch. Only players who come into the league in 2021 or later will be on my roster.
IHOF Structure. My team is Tucker
Injuries: 250
Cap Increase Range: 99 to 99
MAIN STREET LEVEL--I know this sounds weird, but I'm seeing some things that indicate that at Main Street level, it's easier for the AI teams to manage themselves financially. I suspect that with stringent financial rules on myself, this will actually make the game more challenging, not less.

HOUSE RULES

Salary Cap

I will begin by operating at all times under the constraint of using 50% or less of the salary cap. If this turns out to be too easy or too hard, I can change it as we go along.

Staff Hiring

All staff must be hired to 5-year deals.
No replacing staff under contract.
If a staff position in open in the third week, a requested offer may be given.

Franchise/Summer/FA1:1

Franchise tag may be used, but it must be on a player with loyalty >0, not on an angry or worse player, and never for consecutive years.
Summer league player must be from fourth round or later.
Renegotiations can be done in these circumstances:
- Final year of contract, and must be requested offer only (If he's requesting one year, then he's gonna be a FA and get that type of contract from me on the open market.)
- Cap outs
- Holdouts

Early Free Agency

All contracts offered to unrestricted free agents must contain at least 50% bonus, with one exception: one-year minsal deals are allowed if the player will take them--but no longer than one year.

Trading

AI-offered trades may be accepted.
Draft pick trades are allowed, but all picks received from the AI must be current year only.

Training Camp

No more than 53 players carried to camp.

In-Season

AI will control all depth charts.
Injury rate is 250
My offensive game plan will only use the sets with at least two tight ends.
