[Ben E Lou]

2025 SEASON

KEY RETIREMENTS

None of my players retire this year.

KEY DEPARTURES

QB Randall Barker--Ulufale looks ready to go, so I let Barker go after his best season. Hope this doesn't come back to bite me too badly.

SE Wendell Faulkenberry--I had to get a cheaper player here for cap reasons. The Lions ink him to a 5-year deal.

LDE Rickey Gooden--The Niners outbid me for him. I was aggressively pursuing him, but he takes off.

KEY FA ARRIVALS

MLB Mitch England--12th-year veteran was has starred in Indianapolis for his entire career. Former DROY and All-Pro. Needed him because Clifton Shaw's recovery from his MCL Surgery last year is not complete, and uncertain.

FS Gino Blair--8th-year man who's been an All-Pro once is better than Donny Barrett.

SE Irving Long--7th-year man is already a mentor. Pretty solid ratings, but hasn't done much impressive with either Baltimore or San Fran. He'll start for now, and help develop youngsters. He signed a three-year deal for only $2.8M a year, which is less than $1M in 2004 dollars.

LDE Gilbert Brock--8th-year man--good run-stopper, very limited pass-rush skills--former 2(3) pick from Carolina, and has bounced around since his rookie contract expired--signed to 2-year deal after Rickey Gooden decided not to sign with us.

FB Bryant Robinson--journeyman fullback mentor, as I'll be starting 3rd-year man Kerry Ogden

NEW LONG-TERM CONTRACTS

None.
