2015 ROSTER SHAPING



BEGINNING CAP SITUATION
SALARY CAP: $166.8M
ROOM UNDER CAP: $44.01M
MAX FOR NEW PLAYER: $37.43M

INJURY UPDATES FROM LAST SEASON
C Hernandez and LCB Carlton are out 11 and 10 weeks respectively. None of the fully-recovered players dropped any points.
FRANCHISE PLAYER
I use the franchise tag on RDE Ray Antel again.

KEY FREE AGENTS/RESTRICTED PLAYERS FROM MY TEAM
QB Hardy Tamm--I've got some young and improving QB's on the roster. It might be time to give one of them a shot.


FL Brenden Schafer--I have three other capable receivers. He's out the door in all likelihood.

C Perry Hernandez--He wants a pretty hefty salary, and he's Out for 10 weeks. Nope.

LG Harry Mayes--2-time All-Pro who has been with since 2007, and he's a mentor. I'd like to keep him if I can.

RT Maurice Lane--Former 3rd-round pick Harold Cook looks like he can step in and start.

RDE Ray Antel--ACK!!! I *typed* that I was going to franchise him, but I forgot to do it---and I've already saved the game after free agency started. Oh well. Gotta try to sign him on the open market, I guess.

MLB Josh Pierre--interesting decision. He was the DPOY last year, but his backup, O.J. Barnhill, looks to have the potential to be nearly as good, if not better. This decision will come down to finances.

MLB O.J. Barnhill--backup to Pierre. He's an RFA, and would therefore cost me less money to re-sign than Pierre.

WLB Wes Henry--Missed nearly all of last season due to injury, lost no ratings. His backup, Conrad Willis, is definitely a step down, but is decent, and a lot cheaper. Another tough call.


FREE AGENCY
POSITIONS TO FILL OR UPGRADE: C, LG, RDE, MLB, WLB (maybe), QB (maybe)




CUTS

QB Albert McDaniel: 2(4) pick from 2013 hasn't shown much at all, and has a conflict with RB leader Blake Van Lanen.

SIGNINGS


C Carlos McCormick--7.0--3yrs/$22.5M--Originally drafted by us, I let him become a FA after 2012. Spent two years in Oakland, and now he's back.

RDE Jared Stephens--4.9--2yrs/$5.13M--He's no Ray Antel, but he'll be a lot less expensive. Got 8.5 sacks for the Raiders last year.

QB Hardy Tamm--5.2--3yrs/$18M--He's a mentor, and could help develop our youngsters. His days as our starter might be over, though.

LG Harry Mayes--7.6--3yrs/$30M--Helps anchor my offensive line. Good to keep him in the fold.



WHERE OUR KEY GUYS WENT

RDE Ray Antel signed with New York.

MLB Josh Pierre is now a Green Bay Packer.

WLB Wes Henry joins Antel with the Giants.

FL Brenden Schafter signs with the Saints.




AMATEUR DRAFT

PICKS
I have the 21st pick in all seven rounds.

NEEDS
No glaring needs at starting positions, but we're definitely starting to age. With a mentor under contract for the next three seasons, I'd love a franchise QB, and might be willing to trade up to get one. With the departure of Antel as a free agent, I could stand another studly DE. Beyond that, I could use a young starter-to-be at the following positions: FB, LG, LDT, FS

1(21) RG Gabe Lemons 24 65 51 47 5.10 30 7.76 Will be moved to LG in all likelihood. 24 62 26 56
2(21) QB Will Dawson 20 49 52 33 4.86 15 7.65 His scouted bars look pretty good. 20 49 19 42
3(21) SLB Deron Mirkovich 27 51 27 30 4.52 27 7.20 A PHENOMENAL athlete at 263 pounds. Moved to DE. 27 52 34 61
4(21) LT Chester Bourgeios 11 50 95 46 5.22 30 7.70 A bit of a project, but I only have two tackles under contract. 11 47 13 44
5(21) RB Mark Womble 29 39 7 23 4.60 20 7.33 226-pound power back, but has good spd/agi. 30 39 31 41
6(21) FS Jesse Fairchild 11 30 69 41 4.56 19 7.15 Not much in his bars, but a good combine. 12 32 15 35
7(21) SE Wes Proctor 13 38 72 25 4.51 13 7.13 Has some kick returning skills, if nothing else. 13 38 18 45

Pretty decent looking draft when all is said and done.



DRAFT GRADE: B+




I trade QB Harold Rodriguez to SF for a 5th-round pick next year. He had two conflicts with leaders, and is in the last year of his contract.
