So far it's more of a meta-mod, with a collection of data that should be easily applied to the format of whatever football game can import it. FOF rosters were originally the goal with accurate rosters and college UDFAs and other league players being FAs, but after some significant scope creep here we are. The dream is now for someone to pick up the torch that the OOTP people dropped and make a game with multiple leagues and integrated history.
Leagues: NFL, CFL, UFL, WLAF/NFLE, AAF, XFL, USFL, some Arena
Years: 1981-2021
What's currently included:
Player vitals, basic player ratings, rosters, stats, awards, League/Team HOFs, league histories, XLS spreadsheet format
What's planned:
Historical contract info, detailed ratings, more Arena, Database format
The way the rosters have been set up is more or less a "snapshot" of NFL rosters in late August/early September. Basically best effort training camp rosters, so some will be 90+ players. Other leagues are basically assumed to have a similar schedule and setup, despite the fact they very much don't. Sorry CFL, the NFL is wagging this dog.
Current stats:
40 years of football
240+ franchises
28000+ players
150,000+ player seasons
90+ years of stats
Current status: Finishing linking up the stats to unique player IDs. After that I'll probably do some cleaning up of the data and find somewhere to post the data, for anyone who might be interested.

How nice to hear.
I am still working on that 2002 start rosters, but as you know it takes time. It will be ready soon enough but it's only 2002. Then I hope the draft files that has been floating around for the coming years up to today will be used by each and evryone.
I started to mess last year with DDS historical file, but sadly it's so limited. One could end up with Tom Brady as a mobile running Lamar Jackson and vice versa. They just got an overall rating in the historical version so I think FOF still got the lead run on any hitorical play.
Since I will be soon ready to post this 2002 startfile maybe it could help you a bit. It's hard work locating all those players that really never made any regular season rosters and putting them in teams or FA. As said earlier it got some 70 players for each team at the start, then the AI cuts it down to 60 directly. Filling up a bunch of FA so the fictional shouldn't pop up is my nightmare. Never like a fictional player turns in super stats for any team.
Lets hope when all is done we got some good option on not only starting in 2002 (The year NFL formed almost as it is today, with numbers of teams)
If your files cover any other starts I love to see that monsterwork.
I take it you looked at the contracts that was in the startfiles for this 2002. They are based on FOF7 formula. Makes a change important for every player in that file. That second bonus each year must be deleted.
