Franchise worth 1.797 bill, 2nd most in league

3rd best Stadium
11th best Roster
14th best support
11th worst economy


I retain our OC and DC

We draft 12th. I make no changes to our staff.


We have 41 players under contract and no cap space – 8.78 mill which needs to be spent on rookies.

I can’t afford to even think of franchising.

Let’s hit FA and then stare at my ugly roster:




We have lost – starting WLB Joyner, DT Clinton, FB Blades

So we need: RB, FB, WR, OG, OT, DE, DT, LBx3, CB

Now, we have RFA at a lot of those spots. I can retain the best and keep our roster up to par.

Players in the Last Year of Their Deal That I Care about:

LS Kent Ikuma
CB Allen Hutchings
CB Colton Hanks
SLB Ezra Wilkerson
RT Myron Starks
WR Maxwell Poffenroth
WR Joshua Wild
QB Damien Hoffman

And backups or weak starters – TE Beyer, QB Stanton, WR Menzies, DE Alston, DT Nick Greer


Now, who do I really want to keep that’ll save some cap space?

I get two trade offers, hold on:

The Raiders are offering me their 6.21 this year for QB Eduardo Pearl. The Titans want DT Grayson Clark.

I try to change up the pick for a future 6th. That I’d do. They aren’t interested. We do it for two future 7ths instead.

I’m not going to be able to free up QB Hoffman’s needed 25 mill in cap space for his deal this year unless I go kamikaze on my roster. Instead, I can keep space free next year by not making any major FA singings or extending a few players past 3031.
