Week 10 – We are a 7-2 team heading into 0-9 Buffalo. Obvious who wins? Well, we do, but barely, 13-9. MOM is Flemming with a pick and 3 sacks. But to my mind, the MOM is DT Lenny Sterne, who recovers a fumble, returns it for a score, and that’s our lone TD. 5 FF from my LBs – 2 each by Shea, Flemming and 1 by Danieles. This was not Swift’s day. 16 of 23, 0:2.
Week 11 – We beat the 6-3 Chargers 24-6. MOM is DE Benton with 4.5 sacks. That’s a lot of sacks. 3 KRB each by Guzy, Kelley, and Sandmeyer. INT by CB Felker. Swift was 22 of 35, 230 and 2:0 and hit Holbert and TE hammers for scores. OT Raymond is back from injury and starts again. DE Lane returns too. Week 12 – Another major contest arrives. The 8-2 Panthers are the next challenge. Challenge failed. We lose 27-17. We had Jacobs and Benton each with 2 sacks, 4 FF and 2 recoveries by my defense, and even Swift was pick-less with an uneven 25 of 36, 167, and 1:0. Barrett caught the score. Abrams rushed for a TD too. But we were +2 on TOs on the day and lost. That’s not a formula for success. DE Cobb retruns from his injury Week 13 – We beat the hapless Jags 31-13. Swift is your MOM with 22 of 35, 232 and 3:0, and rushed 8 for 66 and another score. Frederick, Hammers and Hatcher with the TD Catches. Shea has a pick.2 sacs by Benton and Cobb. Guzy and Raymond with 3 KRb each. No injury news We are 9-3 heading into the final stretch.

Week 14 - We have the 7-5 Falcons next on our schedule. We lose 20-27. Abrams did a good job in a losing match, 23 for 122, 1 score, and he caught our score. Swift was 22 of 26, 306, and 1:1. Perrone was 99 yards. No turnovers, just 1 sacks, (Flemming of course) and 5 KRB by Gibbons and 3 by Duzy
A few of our players got knocked questionable – Hatcher, Sterne, and Lane. Week 15 – Another big game arrives, the 8-5 Broncos. We lose 14-13. Nicky Cobb oddly had a pick. Swift was 29 of 45 for 270 and 1:0. TE hammers with the catch, CB Tubbs got a FF and Recovered it too. 2 sacks by Benton and Jacobs. No major injury news. But those two losses are bad. We had a two game lead on the AFC that now melted. These are the teams at 9-5 in the AFC right now with two weeks to go: Kansas City Denver Cleveland Pittsburgh Houston San Diego And three more teams are 8-6. So it’s very, very tight. We could win our last two games, finish 11-5, and be handed a wild card at best. I have two teams in the AFC West I have to face down. Week 16 – We host the 4-9 Saints. It’s almost like a bye with our 30-10 victory. Abrams is MOM with 28 for 145 and 2 scores on the ground. Swift was 19 of 35, 169, and 1:1 and hit Hammers. Picks by Flemming and Henderson. FF by Cobb. LB Danieles with 2 sacks. 5 KRB by Duzy, and 3 by Raymond and Gibbons. No major injury updates. We are 10-5... Cleveland and Pittsburgh face each other in week 17, that should knock one down. We finish with the Raiders while the Broncos and Chargers should knock out another. Houston lost. So I have a shot here. Hold my serve against the Raiders. Week 17 – We win 32-17. MOM is Swift with 18 of 26, 196 and 0:0 and Abrams, 24 for 87, 2 scores. Pick returned for a score by.. DE Nicky Cobb. FF by Sterne that he recovered, another by Crawford. 4 KRB by Guzy, 3 by Gibbons

AFC: 1. KC 11-5 2. Cleveland 10-6 3. Houston 10-6 4. NY Jets 8-8 5. Pittsburgh – 10-6 6. Baltimore – 9-7 Can we do it? Wild Card Weekend: Atlanta 10, at NY Giants 27 Baltimore 35 at Cleveland 7 Pittsburgh 23 at New York Jets 37 Seattle 31 at San Fran 21 And that brings us to... Week 2: We host Baltimore Houston hosts the Jets Minnesota hots the Giants Carolina the Seahawks We smash them 37-6 MOM is Swift – 20 of 22, 256, 3:0, and rushed 2 for 10 and another score. He hit Abrams, Hatcher, and Holbert for scores, speaking of which, RB Abrams was 23 for 120. Picks by Franz and Shea. OT Kelley is knocked to doubtful. I’ll start Valle. Jets over Texans 34-10 Vikes over Gmen 31-28 Panthers of Seahawks 36-14 .............. The Championships We host the #4 seed 8-8 Jets Carolina hosts the Vikings Carolina 34-28 over the Vikes... And.... 13 by us..... 9 by the Browns. We are in...but we have two major injuries, so get ready. MOM is Flemming. 17 tackles and 2 sacks. Cobb with 2 too, and Guzy with 3 KRB. Abrams was 17 for 82. But our QB was 17 of 25, 120 and 1:0, hitting TE Hammers of a score. But that QB? Not Ben Swift... Swift was injured on the 2 drive of the game, and Rhodes replaced him. Our other injury is dimeback CB Tubbs. I replace Tubbs. And Swift. I put Tubbs on IR and sign... QB Jordan Endzell, 35/46 3rd year guy. Kelley is still doubtful, so I deactivate him. The 2032 NFL Super Bowl Your AFC Champion, #1 seed 11-5 Kansas City Chiefs Vs Your NFC Champion #1 seed 13-3 Carolina Panthers We met earlier this year and if you’ll recall, we lost 17-27... will that happen here? This is my first Super Bowl in 5 years with the Chiefs. And we’ve been hot a lot. But I’m down a QB and a LT. What are the panthers down? One starting quality 60s level LB. Alright... Will this be the Comeback of Rhodes? No, it won’t be Rhodes’ day. 17 for 25, 126 yards, 0:0. And they hold Abrams down too – 13 for 50. Rhodes adds 30 yards rushing and we had 80 yards rushing total. Was this a dominant day by my LB Force? Flemming? Jacobs? Nope. Did my D Line force them down and keep them from doing anything. No. We had a single sack on the day. They score four times. All field goals, but 12 points in a game like this is enough to win. We only managed 2 FGs for six points................. ............... .............. .............. Offensively... See, you know that big name signee I made last year? CB Dana Cortez? He got a pick, returned it for a score! He just got Super Bowl MVP and won us the game Celebrate y’all!

Season Awards –
Def. Player of the Year: OLB Flemming Super Bowl MVP – CB Dana Cortez All-Pro 1st Team – Flemming All-Pro 2nd Team – RB Dana Abrams, P Derek Grandon, DE Amos Benton That’s right, Benton and Abrams with All Pros, and this is Grandon’s debut season and award! STATS! QB Code:
Again, not bad stats from Swift. Sure, I’d like a real Qb. We all would, but not bad. I Compare Swift to Arledge. Arledge was 48/48 at best, had great numbers. Better yards, better rating, better TD:rating and awards, like All Pros. Swift is 55/5 and can’t catch a break. Both had the same level of receivers. Guys in high 50s or low 60s. Lat year, Swift was sacked 25 times, this year 44. Not a good sign. Rushing? Abrams was 313 for 1293 yards, 8 rushing scores, 4.13 ypc Pretty solid Catching? Code:
As you can see, Abrams led my team in catches with 83 and 556 yards and 5 scores. Swift checked that ball down. 113 targets? Crazy. No one else looks good here. I feel like Perrone started the season as the primary TE target and then Hammers moved in later. CB Mayes was 46 for 488 and 10.6 PR and 26 for 656 abd 25,2 KR. 5th best KR Avg. K Fields, 27 of 41, long of 50, 39 of 42 P Grandon – 94 pints, 41 in 20, av of 48.0 . Fields had a horrible year and I expect better results next year by far... Blocking: Guzy 40 KRb, 6 pancakes 8 sacks allowed – I thought he might make All Pro, was 5th in KRB among OGs and had more pancakes than a few above him. Gibbons, 31 KRB, 5 and 4 sacks allowed Sandmeyer, 22, 0 and 5 Kelley, 20, 0 and 12 T Raymond, in 8 starts, 13, 0 and 5 Defense Code:
Whoa. 15 sacks by Benton, then 13.5 and 12.5. I thought Jacobs was rope for All Pro. He was 3rd in sacks among LBs. Benton was 3rd in league in sacks, Flemming 4th, and then Jacobs tied for 8th. SS Clayton led the team in tackles for the first time in Flemming’s tenure. Pass coverage: Code:
Hmmm. 5 picks by Flemming. He led all LBs in picks. We have 7, two 6s, and 4 5s in the league in INTS this year. I felt Cortez was so close to his first All Pro, just couldn’t get another pick. Flemming had 6 FF and led the league with 17 pasdef.

The Flemming Watch –
4 time Defensive Player of the Year: 445 solo tack, 109 assists 48.5 sacks, 8 blocked passes, 34 hurries, 69 QBKD 16 FF, 2 Rec, 1 FR TD 17 picks, 2 INT RET TD, 52 pasdef Team Awards Off. Player of the Year: RB Dana Abrams. My first, solid RB year here for the Chiefs, had the best receiving year of any back in the NFL, plus a 1200+ rushing year, and an All Pro to show for it. Good job Abrams! Defensive Player of the year: DE Amos Burton. Sorry Flemming, gotta eventually go with someone else! Burton led my team in sacks and notched his first All Pro doing so. Thanks Amos! Special Teams Player of the Year: P Derek Grandon – I took a bit of a risk by drafting him when I had a solid 58/58 guy on my squad, but I think we’re all happy now! Rookie of the Year: C Randall Sandmeyer -A 1st round highly touted OT gets drafted and starts year 1, no surprise. A 5th year OC does and it’s something. And Sandmeyer made it rain KRBs without being a sack-sieve. Heart Award: CB Henderson – He lost a step. He was demoted to Nickelback two years ago. And yet this aging wonder had 1.5 sacks, 3 picks, and 7 pasdef. He gets results. Thanks Damon!

Value – Stadium unchanged, 8th worst roster, 14th worst support, 13th best economy, 13th lowest overall value
98.2% attendance 45 mill in profit made Staff Draft: We pick 17, and I take a new Sc but that’s it We have 40 players under contract, and that does not include Ben Swift, but I don’t see a franchise tag as my way out.

Free Agency 2033
What to do with my two stars – Guzy and Jacob? I’m about 50 mill under the cap, with space for players at 40. Jacobs wants 150 mill and 5 years Guzy wants 5 years, 82.5 mill Both want a lot of cash It’d be about 30ish mill to extend both more on my cap this year. I don’t have a lot of cap space left if I do. I extend Rhodes by two more years while I think about it. I extend Cobb by three years, drop his hit this by 5 mill to help Okay, who else is out there that I need to extend? I did like OG Harvey Gibbons. This was his first year starting for anyone, he’s a solid 61/61 guy, young, he wants 3 years and 20 million. And I feel like I can always find solid guards. There are multiple OGs in the mid 50s in FA, as well as folks I can draft or groom for a starting role. And I can finish out his contract this year, and then move next, or even make a play later. For now, I’m not moving on Gibbons. RB Barrett and Abrams are in their final year. I extend Barret by one year, but Abrams, as you may expect, wants serious cash. I extend backup SS Franz for another year. He’s my secondary leader. WR Frederick has dropped to 48/48. I can extend his deal to 3 years, 16 mill, and drop his cap hit to 6.4 this year, and then 5.5 next two. But if I cut the 31 year old dropping WR< I save 7 mill this year. That’s a lot of cash I’m freeing up. I extend LB Sam Danieles to 4 years, 14 mill. He grew to 57/57, and is my defensive front leader. I am going to try him in the middle starting with Shea/Jacobs/Flemming to help out. I want to keep DT Stuart and LT Skae, but one is too expensive and the other doesn’t like me right now due to a lack of playing time. Ah well. I extend CB Moschetti by 1 year. I sign Guzy to 5 mill, 80 years, flat cap of 13 mill for each year after this one until the last. He is the 2nd best OG in football. The 3rd and 5th best are with the Browns, and I drafted them. Remember Lucas Lucas and Wayne Croom? He had the best year for my club, and had a career equal to some players I’ve had when they had All Pros from the O Line. I sign these RFAs: QB Endzell, RB Blackburn, SE Gardener, LB Jaffe, Miles What do I need: Starting QB OG OT WR TE RB FB? LB? CBx2 S I could use a very, very good WR, or CB, or OG/OT. Alright, let’s head to week 2

Anyone I like and wanna make an offer to in UFA?
The best FB in the league, 5th year vet, 70/70 Chad Eckard is there, wants 5 mill/year. Wanna spend 84 mill for 4 years for Swift? I don’t! There are a few players I like. But I want to see how close the Jacobs deal gets us... 5 years, 150.5 mill, with cap hits of 26, 23, 24, 34, and 44. Without releasing WR Frederick, that puts us at 16 mill under the cap and room for 7 mill, with 45 players on our team right now under contract. I have a bit of an issue with my O Line Valle has become my leader and there’s some conflicts. I may have to look at that later. Chase LB Clinton? Another leader helper? I don’t have the cash, and I don’t have the need to cut Frederick yet, right? Well, why not chase a WR in FA that’s better than Frederick and can be that immediate swap? That’s Trenton Logan, 51/51, 27 years old, wants 3 years, and 15 mill. I’d only save 2.5 mill this year, and then be tied to his deal for two more Any WRs in the draft or anything I think could be here at 1.32? Nope, this is a pretty weak WR draft. So I could basically sign Logan and cut Frederick, cut Frederick and sign other players, or punt and worry about WR next year. Nah. We need to bring in another body. I make Logan the offer. I go ahead and cut Frederick, so I can chase the leaders at other spots. I make offers to LB Rickey Clinton, 2 years, 4 mill and LT KC Fletcher, 1 year, 3.5 mill that Banks and Guzy just love. Week 2 – OT Raymond signs with the Bucs. Swift signs a mega-del for 150 mill over 5 years with the Saints. Week 7 – We sign OT Fletcher and WR Logan, the best WR in FA. FS Kaplan heads ot the Saints Week 9 – We sign our LB Clinton too. We have 47 players under contract, 12 mill in cap space, just 3 mill after the draft. Draft time!

The 2033 NFL Draft
We have a lot of QBs in the 5 or 6 ratings in the draft, and I scouted 8 of them with interviews. A few come back underrated, like QB Elias Tamm that I like with good combines, low bars, but good interview. We’ll see what happens, but drafting 1.32 is always rough. I still need 2 DBacks, 1 WR, 1 backup TE, 1 RB, 1 starting QB, and 1 OG to develop as a starter is okay too. Alright here we go! Buffalo gets us started off with CB from San Jose State Donovan Daniels at the 1.1 spot. An absolute stud WR falls to 1.23, but I don’t trade up, because I want to keep my ammo for Tamm if he’s there. He is. But he’s 3 Qbs down the list. Wil he fall to me at 2.32? I gamble. I love CB Cooks here, he seems like a major player. Grabbing him gives me a future force at the CB spot while also securing my future there. I could also take the unsexy but feasible OG Turner Cook is the better talent, and it’s hard to draft quality Cbs due to their demand, I can get Guards all day long. I take Cook. Not another QB goes until pick 59 to the Texans. Tamm is close. But yes, he makes it. Now, next question – Can I get him at 3.32? By now, most of the teams that want a QB will have taken one, right? And Tamm is still one down. This is a draft deep with RBs. There is a solid RB here too still on the board, even after 5 were taken in the 1st and another 4 in the 2nd. Hmmmm... I can’t, in good conscience, pass up Tamm again. I take Tamm. Sorry Riley Konrad! Washington goes QB at 3.2, and could have Tammed it up, who knows. Well shit. Konrad is still on the board at 3.32. Just 2 RBs went in the 3rd until now. Alright, well join us! I’ll see you in the 4th. Alright I’m going to gamble on another grower. WR Caiden Martin. Red speed, red agility, blue PSpec and smarts. Black and fine strength. Not good bars. But hey, it’s the end of the 4th, so whatever. 5.32 TE Jason lluellyn – Total BPA 6.32 LT Thurman McDaniel – Depth 7.32 ILB Tyler Hopkins - Depth

Here we go:
CB Cook – 33/69, TE Lluellyn 28/56, QB Tamm 19/55, RB Konrad – 43/53, LB Hopkins 25/52, OT McDaniel – 16/50, SE Martin 22/35, I have 6 mill left post-draft B- Grade Late Free Agency Who do I still need? Dana Abrams is holding out. Dana Abrams may not be long for this team. He;s a 7th year vet, with a 54/54 rating, already like 4 worse than we I signed him, who, to be fair, had a nice year last year leading my team in both receptions and rushing, and that’s why I liked Konrad, he’s a good receiving back. I don’t have the cap space, or the inclination, to give him the jump and long term security he wants. He’s getting 4.5 mill this year in the cap, so that’s not chump change. The Colts have cut some players they drafted and didn’t sign and I make an offer to one, as well as my normal litany of quality UFAs. I’ll tell you later if any stick. Week 1 – We sign three. CB Henderson heads to Cleveland and CB Tubbs to Chicago. Week 3 – We are good to go! Time for a little camp action....

I cut TE Gretsky. He’s dropped to 47, 10th year vet, would be 3rd or 4th on my chart, and my rookie grew and looks to move to my top 3 easily, which would bump Gretsky down. Might as well cut him
I trade C Tevin Lowe to the Titans for their 5th rounder next year. He’s good, developed, but I can’t resign him, and I have a logjam and I need to clear him out. Good luck Lowe! I trade DT Stuart to the Cowboys for their 4th and 6th in 2035. Again, too many D Line, he’s expensive to retain, I start just one DT, and I just signed a solid rookie from the Colts draft they didn’t retain. We win the preseason dominatingly. 4-0, with wins in there like 33-0 and 27-3. Abrams is still holding out. I have a few rookies that grew: QB Tamm is now 27/60 TE Lluellyn is now 34/64 WR Martin didn’t move at all. Stupid grower not-growing and a shower in Lluellyn actually growing. McDaniel the same too. Same with LB Hopkins CB Cook dropped to 35/60. Not great. I was hoping we’d finish in the 65/65 area or some such. Cook is still the the 3rd best CB in the draft with a future of 60 and was the best on the board. The 1.1 is 53/71, and another is 51/67 from the mid 1st. So with those off, Cook is still better than these others. TE Hammers busted to 41/41. So the loss of Gretsky and Hammers at the same time I finally got lucky with a TE booming is intriguing to me. I wish I had moved up. I could have converted that 1.32 from the adequate Cook to a WR that’s just on fire who went 1.23. But ah well. Around 1.20 I felt he had fallen too far and thought about a trade, due to my need at the position. But I stayed pat because I thought QB Tamm might fall, and getting a real QB, hopefully, for the first time ever would be authentically nice. Tamm or Rhodes? I was intending Rhodes. He’s 44/52, and Tamm 27/60. But Tamm grew, needs the dev time, and I doubt the difference in their play would be that noticeable. Remember this is studly defense. I have All Pro Des at both spots and an All Pro DT. I have the best player in the league with Flemming, and then the 3rd best LB in Jacobs, and 9th in Shea. SS Clayton is a 2x All Pro, CB Cortez is great, and you’ve seen that CB Felker can hold his own all day long. Allen has risen to 54/61 so we are good to go, Idaho, with Tamm unleashed. Barrett busted a little, so we are leaning on him and Konrad until Abrams returns.

Enjoy
Week 1 – We take on the powerful Broncos, and barely manage to beat them 28-27. Who is the MOM Get ready.... QB Elias Tamm, 26 of 38, 291 yards, 4:1. He his WR Logan our new signee and 3rd WR on the roster, Holbert, WR Hatcher and WR Gardener each for a score. So all of our active QBs got in on the scoring. Konrad was 23 for 96. No picks. 1 FF by Sterne, recovered by S Franz. Just 3 sacks on the day, 3 KRB by Sandmeyer. But this game was about Tamm. We clearly have a better class of player there at the QB spot than before. Week 2 – Next we have the playoff team the Giantss, with their stud QB, and a team that’s been to the playoffs a bunch. But we smash them, 23-3. K Fields is MOM with 3 FGs. Tamm was less – 22 of 35, 193, and 1:1. Still okay for a rookie. TE Perrone with the TD catch. Konrad added the other score. Picks by Flemming an Danieles. 2 FF by Shea, 1 by DE Cobb and Cook, and recover by FS Allen. DE Benton knocked doubtful for two weeks. Week 3 – Now we host another regular playoff team, the Jets. We lose 23-24, but we shouldn’t have. K Fields misses a 39 yard FG with 1 minute left after Tamm drove down. Tamm was MOM in a losing effort with 33 of 42, 322, and 2:0. We had a pick by Shea. No fumbles, and no tos. Just one sacks, 3 KRB by Gibbons and Sandmeyer. Week 4 – Tamm has a crazy up and down game, almost a Kurt Warner like performance. He; MOM as we smash the Raven 41-25. He was 26 for 36, 382, and 3:3. He hit Hatcher for 101 yards and 2 scores, and Logan for 87 and 1 score. And even Holbert had 92 yards. Konrad added 2 scores on the ground. Pick by Cortez, FF by Cobb, recovered by LB Jaffe. 4 KRb by Guzy, 3 each by Gibbons and Sandmeyer Benton is fully healed Week 5 – Buhbye

2033 NFL Playoffs:
AFC: 1. KC, 14-2 2. Titans, 13-3 3. Browns, 11-5 4. Dolphins, 9-7 5. Chargers, 10-6 6. Ravens, 9-7 Wild Card Week: Games – Atlanta at Seattle Dallas at Washington Baltimore at Cleveland San Diego at Miami Atlanta, 26 to 20 Cleveland 44 to 13 Washington 34-23 San Diego 25-11 Week 2 – We host the Chargers Atlanta at Detroit Cleveland at Tennessee Washington at Carolina I massage my roster with injuries and such We win 17-6. MOM is Flemming. 2 sacks. FS Allen with a pick, and Tamm is 19 of 37, 203, and 1:0 hitting Hammers for the Hammer. Konrad is 26 for 120 and 1 TD. 3 KRB by Axel Kelley Browns 19-12 over Titans Falcons 20-16 over Lions Panthers 24-17 over Redskins Conference Champs Well, the good news is that the 13-3 Titans were knocked out. And we had no major injuries either We win 16-10 over the Browns. MOM is DE Nicky Cobb with 2.5 sacks and a FF. 4 KRb by Sandmeyer. Pick by FS Allen. Konrad was 19 for 67, and no scores. Tamm was really thrown with a 22 of 36 for 201 and 1:3. One of those picks was returned for a score, their only TD. But we managed to overcome it. Holbert with the TD catch. We have the defense that can overcome that sort of a performance. Panthers won 47-14. The 2033 NFL Super Bowl Your #1 Seed AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs, 14-2 Vs Your #1 Seed NFC Champion Carolina Panthers, 12-4 Ready? I had no major injuries... They open with a TD and a FG in the first quarter, to go up 10-0. Then early in the 2nd they get a PR TD and it’s 17-0. Then Konrad rushes for a score with 10 minutes left in the half. Flemming picks them off, and we get a FG, then another with a minute left and it’s 13-17 at the half To open the 2nd half we drive and get another FG to bring us to 1. We force them 3 and out and then drive for a while, and WR Gardener grabs a score from Tamm at the 7:07 mark in the 3rd quarter to put us up 23-17 They may have opened with 17 straight, but we answered with 23 straight. They manage a FG in the early stanza of the 4th and its’23-20 us We are stymied, but then as they drive, we get another pick – this time by FS Allen, who returns it 34 yards to put us in a good position, with 9 minutes left But Tamm throws a pick to TO it back over just a few plays later. They drive and score a TD with 5 minutes left. 27-23 them Tamm moves slowly, and they stop us from doing anything down field, and eventually, he takes a risky throw with 30 second left and it’s his 3rd Pick and game We lose 27-23 Tamm – 22 for 48, 267 and 1:3 Kaplan, 22 for 88, 1 TD Flemming, 1 Pick Allen – 1 Pick No miracle win for the rookie Tamm Ah well.

Defensive Player of the Year: OLB Flemming (Get Ready for a long list): All-Pro 1st Team: RB Riley Konrad OC Randall Sandmeyer OG Harvey Gibbons DE Nicky Cobb LB Randal Flemming All-Pro 2nd Team: DT Lenny Sterne I’m surprised Tamm won over Konrad. Konrad led all RBs in yards and was close in Rush Tds

STATS!!!
Passing: Code:
You can see Tamm here. 20 sacks and 3 fumbles too. He started well, and then slowed down at the end while Konrad was doing the opposing. He had 1900 yards in the first 7 games, but just 1900 in the next 9. Still, a 26:9 ratio, a 96.0 rating, and great stats everywhere shows that we finally have someone who tossing the rock who is at least good. Rushing: Konrad – 367 for 1559, 4.25 ypc, 10 rush scores, 56 catches, 415 yards, 2 rec scores He almost had 2000 yards from scrimmage, and a strong season. He had the must rushing yards by 150 and tied for 2nd most rush scores. Tamm was like, 10th most pass yards and 6th best QB rating and such. But Konrad led the league in a major stat at his position. So I think the wrong offensive player won that award. Did we just add Dak Prescott and Zeke in one draft? Receiving: Code:
Unfortunately, still no 1000 yard seasons. Holbert and Parrone both had a lot of catches. We are running a West Coast style, but I feel like we need a little more push. Anyways you can see the results there. Notice the very even TPct of players on the roster. After Perrone and Holbert,, and to a lesser degree Logan, everyone gets the same number of targets. Perrone is targeted a lot more than he is catching, so hopefully Lluellyn will grow into a better catcher. Blocking: Gibbons – 53 KRB, 4 pancakes, 6 sacks allowed -2nd most KRB in league. Sandmeyer – 45 KRB, 3 and 1. The most KRB by a C in the league, 7th most overall Guzy – 32, 2 and 1. Kelley – 31, 3 and 6 Valle – 29, 3 and 6 Those are, frankly, some of the best blocking numbers one of my teams has ever done. We also had lowered sacks. Just 20 sacks on the season for young QB. And that helped with the numbers here. Totally deserved All Pros for Sandy and Gibbons. And Gibbons had the sort of season I don’t see outside of true studs like Marquis Satre (a stud OG from another dynasty) CB Mayes – 2 PR RET TD, 60, 9.8 avg; 23 KR, 25.2 avg K Fields – 33 of 42, 41 of 44 PAT. P Grandon – 78 punts, 48.8 avg, 25 in 20 I am very upset at Fields. That’s way too may PATs and short range Ks to miss, including missing a 39 yarder to win the game. DEFENSE Code:
Cobb almost led the league in sacks. He was leading until the final week, when someone got to 15. But hey, 14 sacks and another All Pro for the guy. Flemming with another 12, and Jacobs got another 10 as well. DT Sterne, despite only playing in 13 games, had some quality results. ILB Shea led my team in tackles this year, and Clayton and Flemming eased back. Pass D Code:
You can see that Flemming again led my team in picks, as well as all LBs, and only 3 people had more in the league. 11 PasDef also leads my team, and 3rd most among LBs in the league. Meanwhile, Clayton and Jacobs each notched a trio, although Jacobs didn’t get any pasdef, while Shea did. You can see the results of a 3-4 here. All of my LBs have at least 2 picks, but just one CB and S do. Although Allen’s string of picks in the postseason is pretty sexy.

Team Awards:
Offensive Player of the Year: OG Gibbons. Dude had an All Pro year, and with two 7 KRB games was clearly the class of the line. Good job Gibbons! Defensive Player of the Year: DE Cobb. Back leading my team in sacks, and getting another All Pro selection. Good job Nicky! Special Teams Player ot Year: CB Mayes – 2 separate PR TDs is a pretty special year. Good job Mayes! Rookie of the Year: RB Riley Konrad – I’ve already expounded on why. Dude deserved it. Heart Award: TE Hammers – Until the injury to my rookie, Hammers was 3rd on my depth chart, and then wound up 2nd, and dropped in skill to a 40 guy, and yet had 4 scores and a solid catching game this year. Thanks buddy! The Flemming Watch: 5 Year Defensive Player of the Year: 536 solo tackles, 134 assists 60.5 sacks, 11 blocks, 49 hurries, 88 QBKD 22 Ints, 3 INT TD, 63 pasdef 18 FF, 5 Fum Rec, 1 FR TD There are CBs who start for 10 years, and are considering pretty sold who don’t retire with those coverage numbers. There are DEs who rush and do well and are considered solid who never get 60 sacks in a career. That’s just crazy. The Flemming Continues.

Perform – 90 Value – 51 Profit – 63 Roster 6 Score – 64 Value: Stadium – 12th worst Roster – 11th worst Support – 13th worst Economy – 18th best Value – The middle – 16th best We made 63 mill and had 99.2% Attendance WHOA! We just had two more from my Brown Dynasty make the HOF: OT Shon Coleman – 384 KRB, 5 Rings, 4 All Pros, 21 pancakces, 91 sacks allowed DE Julio Stanton – 136.5 sacks, 7 time All Pro, Defensive Player of the Year 2x, in 2018 and 2020. 5 Rings. Welcome folks! Also in the HOF are Derek Carr and DE Darrl Thomason from Jags,with 1 ring, 98.0 sacks, and Super Bowl MVP and 2-time All Pro Retirements: Ours – LS Zirn, RB Dana Abrams, (Shouldn’t have held out an entire season...) and OT KC Fletcher. Others of note: RB Alan Champion, 10435 yards, 72 scores, Off Rookie of the Year, All Prox1 RB Bill Rickets – Retired as Legend of the Game, 9934 yards, 44 TDs, (I would have given Champion the Legend award...) C Lonnie Robustelli, 484 KRB, 66 pancakes, 69 sacks allowed, 2 All Pros, I would expect HOF DE Seth Hastings, 119 sacks, Defensive Player of the year in 2023, 3x All Pro. I would expect HOF DT Orlando Mitkov, 2 time All Pro, 65 sacks, 1 Ring. Slb Arnold McWilliams – 4 time All Pro, 46.5 sacks, more than 1000 tackles, etc FS Kaplan retired from a stint with my Chiefs Staff I make no changes prior to the draft. We pick 15th. Do I want to move off West Coast? Chad Henne is available as a top flight OC that has spread. Am I a spread team? I don’t think yet. Anyways, I skip selecting anyone and keep my old staff Ticket prices up I have just one player on UFA I’d like to keep, OG Gibbons, but tagging him is silly. I’ll just try and sign him later. I missed out. Had I extended him last year, I could have gotten him for around 6-7 mill a year, but now, my guess is he’d be a lot pricier.

Let’s take a look at FA!
Roster Needs: Backup – RBx2, TE, OT/G, S Starter – Maybe WR, OG, maybe OT for Valle, Maybe CB if Cook can’t rise to the occasion now that Felker dropped LS Let’s look at the draft first. Anyone there for my needs? OG? WR? OT? CB? This is a S and CB heavy draft. I find a few OTs I like too. I’d be happy to take a Axel Kelley here at 1.31. They won’t all be mega-hits who fall, like a Cook or a Kelley, but you can still uncover talent. Actually, about 4 OGs I like too. And the 4th WR on the board is sexy too after I interview him. We should have options. Back to FA I have 30 mill in cap space, 18 mill to sign stuff. Now I am lucky. How? Great question! Well, the year after my Duzy/Jacobs selections of awesomeness, I didn’t have any major players I drafted. Here are the ones entering their final year: SE Holbert C McCarthy OG Banks LB Shea FS Allen None of those are must-signs. All of those have disappointed to one degree Banks and McCarthy, or another, Holbert not growing enough. Here is what they would each want SE Holbert – 4 years, 43 mill C McCarthy - years, 9 mill OG Banks – 2 yeas, 3 mill LB Shea – 82 mill, 5 years - nope FS Allen – 2 years, 6 mill Now, Shea wants a ton of cash for just being good, but he really didn’t play like it. He’s a 73/73 ILB I got in the 2.23 spot because he fell, and I play him a lot, but he’s more of a tackling run-stopper with some value elsewhere. Now, if he wanted 5-6 mill a year, I’d sign him. But there is no way that I can pay him that money. I could trade him while he’s hot. A 4th year LB that good? I should, ideally, have people feasting from the generosity of my hands. I shop him In 2036, a few years down the road, I trade my 3rd rounder and Shea for the Vikings 1st rounder. Shea is young, he’s the 8th best LB in the league, you can lock him down for a while. That’s pretty saucy for Minnesota,, and they drop back two rounds to get him. Right now I have Crawford free, and I could make a play for him in FA, and then keep my options open in the draft I resign a few of my RFA. I’d like to resign Gardener, but dude wants real money, like 6 mill over 3 years. I make an offer to Brad Stepanovic, a great 98 snapping LS. Week 4 – Crawford heads to {Pittsburgh. He wanted too much cash. Week 8 – Gibbons heads to Texans for 3 years, 36 mill Week 10 – Our LS Target signs Time for drafting!

The 2034 NFL Amateur Draft
Denver starts us off with S Dillon Buchans of U Minnesota. The target I like that I think might fall are WR Hunter Gorham, OG Jim Robinette, and OT Roderick Lane. But the one player I likes a lot is Hunter Gorham. I want him badly. He was the 4th on the board, and after I used my 4th interview on him, I was sold. WR Hunter Gorham – blue in dash at 4.39, SOLE with 31, strength with 15 reps, red agil, and blue spec drills. Blue or red in every assessed combine stat. Came back underrated. Already has great looking bars and stats, with low volatility. I really think Gorham can be something Let’s head to 1.31 and take a look and see who went where: Robinette on the board, Lane went 9th the 49ers. Hunter? Still on the board. He has good stats, underrated, and has everything you’d want. In fact, I think he’d go very high in a multiplayer league, especially one of the earlier games where having a WR was the most important position out there, and this guy would go 1.1 in some of them. Here, let me show you a quick snippet of Hunter Gorham, on the board at 1.31  I pulled up both Gorham’s card and the draft so you can see where we are. Actually, hold on, let me pull up Robinette so you can see who I liked here too. There I resaved it for you. Robinette is a nice pick up here. Robinette had 1 red, three blues, and 1 normal in smarts. He;d be ikely fine, and great bars. But as I’ve said before, you can get internal O Line talent later, you can’t get a high quality WR like Gorham this often. With my young Qb that looks pretty solid, I can’t not take Gorham. So I snag him

2nd arrives – RT Gabriel Benton? LG Stuart Lane? TE Downs?
All three are solid. Set aside Downs. Lane or Benton? I’m going Lane because he’s from WVU! 3rd – SS Wally van Pelt 4th CB Calvin Stephenson 5th – TE Glen Perry 5th - DE Banks – How is Enrique Banks still in the draft? He’s on the opening screen of talent in that shot I took of the draft. This is silly, I’ma take him. 6th – LB Barry Stine 7th LB Marco Ballard – I actually interviewed him. He has sole super high, and good bars, low rating, and no combine numbers. So he wasn’t on other radars. Will he be a diamond in the rough for me like Crawford or Danieles? Alrighty! Early looks – SE Gorham – 38/73 DE Banks – 21/61 LB Ballard – 20/57 LB Stine – 16/56 TE Perry – 24/51 G Lane – 25/49 – Yuck. CB Stephenson – 26/48 – Yuck S Wally van Pelt – 21/43 – Yuck Ah well. My draft had a good 1st and later rounds, but maybe the 2-4 drafts weren’t hot. Ah well.

I have 20 mill in cap space post draft, and 55 players on muh roster
A measure to move Tampa to Portland failed. We have a B grade Late FA – I’m a little surprised that a certain WR isn’t holding out. But thanks Colbert! Who do I want post-draft? I offer a 4 year, 10 mill contract to young OT Aaron Byrne, from Cleveland, who has an affinity for my leader, Guzy. QB Chuck Roberts, grizzled veteran, 3 time All Pro, 38 years old, Mentor, dropped a lot, want him for mentoring the QB spot 2.5 mill, 2 years, LB Alexander Roberts 4 UFAs too Week 1 – I sign Roberts Week 2 - 3more arrive Week 3 – Everybody arrives.

CAMP
We sell 48,400 season tickets. I cut QB Endzell, Now I had, for the first time ever with the Chiefs, an undrafted QB actually get better in camp – Corey Callaway. He went from 43 pot to 49. Is he a grower? We’ll see after camp. I was just going to blow up the league with wins since I wasn’t getting a good undrafted QB, but we clearly have a juggernaut here. If Callaway winds up growing more, then I might be interested in having a conversation about swapping Tamm for Callaway in a year or too. Right now Tamm is 45/60 and my best QB option ever for the Chiefs. I have had a rotisserie of QBs starting for me – Rhodes, Guymon, Tamm, and Swift. And I’d be willing to commit to Callaway early enough to trade Tamm in a year or two when he’s mostly developed and ready to reap big trade potential. Since I couldn’t find a good OT in the draft, OT Byrne will start for Valle and is my new RT starter. I extend OG Banks by a year, and then hand the OG spot to my rookie OG for preseason to see if he can grow. QB Rhodes is demanding a trade. Even if I trade him now, I have my starter, my backup vet, and a potential Callaway. I upgrade my 3rd in ’37 to the Cleveland 1st to send them Rhodes. Rhodes ain;t no joke. He’s the 18th best QB in the league by current ability and 21st by potential. If you were a Qb starved team, would deal a future 1st, years down the road, for the 3rd that year and that cheap, 1.5 mill guy signed for two years? Especially if you think you can build him or get more from him. I cut TE Hammers. Good luck finding another home! Dude caught 10 Tds in 2 years with me, but I signed him to go above Perrone and Gretsky, and he did neither. And fell quickly. I have Perrone and the young two. So we’re fine. Hammers might have been my 4th TE, no sense banishing him to that CB Felker has dropped from my expected spot at nickel to potentially dime, with Moschetti now at 51/51. I extend FS Allen by a year. Now that LB Jaffe is developed, he wanted more playing time. He’s a red card demanding trade. So I move him to the Raiders for their 3rd in 2036, a year we moved a 3rd. Goodbye Jaffe I cut DE Cesar Lane

Preseason we go 3-1. No major injures, only a few probbales here and there.
So good news. Tamm rose to 46/63. Callaway dropped to 16/45, so that doesn’t look like that’s happened. We had multiple people drop in ability – RB Barrett, Cortez is down to 61/61, DEE Benton is down to 58/58. He’s 31. Here were my rookies before, and now: SE Gorham – 38/73 – 49/79 – Yeah baby! DE Banks – 21/61 – 25/57 LB Ballard – 20/57 – 27/51 LB Stine – 16/56 – 20/52 TE Perry – 24/51 – 31/60 – Yeah! G Lane – 25/49 – Yuck. – 32/51 CB Stephenson – 26/48 – Yuck 31/56 – Okay! S Wally van Pelt – 21/43 – Yuck – 23/38 So some rose and others fell like Banks and Ballard and Van Pelt vs the risers of Stephenson and Gorham and Perry I cut LB owens and its ROSTER TIME!! ROSTER Code:

Yay Chiefs!
Who do I want to extend now? Older players - Hatcher? Benton? K Fields? Sterne? Franz? Younger WR Holbert? I extend LB Clinton by a year Next year I have C Sandy and OT Axel that are on the deck for real contracts. I extend Moschetti by 3 years, 8 mill A lot of these players are older and will clearly fall. Sterne for example is 31, but the guy is in his 70s. Even if he falls, wed have coverage. But I have Newhart I can swap in any time. I extend Newhart by 2 more years instead, so I can have him as my next-in-line DT. And if Sterne looks good, I can chase or franchise him. I’m let Benton play out this year and see where we wind up. Again, I can sign, or franchise later. But I don’t want to hurt my cap too much in future years keeping them. I do want to resign Holbert. He wants 4 years and 40 mill and I agree. I’ll let Hatcher play out his deal. Fields has not been playing to his deal, or his talent for that matter so I’m letting him play out. As he is my leader, I extend Franz by 4 years and 12 mill. He has a great system – Cortez just adores him,and others get along, so I want to keep that happy. I let my coaches play a bit, just to see what happens. If I let them run everything, the game thinks we’ll finish 11-5, but a WC due to a 12-4 team in our division, and we’ll lose in the WC round. Flemming had 19.5 sacks, 3 picks, and 4 FF. He was DPotY again and had a concussion and missed one game too. His first missed game. Oh and we had three players tossed on IR, including one starter of quality – WR Holbert, and then one adequate starter – Danieles, and another LB with Stine. None were the bad, “Lose a permanent step” level of injury, luckily. Anyways, that’s not what would really happen. But it’s fun to see the what ifs. Ready?

The 2034 NFL Playoffs:
AFC – 1. KC, 15-1 2. Pitts, 12-4 3. Tenn, 11-5 4. Miami, 9-6-1 5. SD, 10-6 6. NY Jets, 9-7 Alright, are you ready for the KC Sternwheeler? Wild Card Weekend Vikes at GMen Jets at Titans Chargers at Dolphins Seahawks at Saints The Giants trounce 41-24, the Titans emerge victorious 18-6, Miami is 28-21 and Seattle 24-20. And that sets up............. Week 2, Divisional Round We host the Dolphins, who pushed us all the way earlier this year when we played. Jacobs is probable and I keep him on the bench for now. But Guzy is back. Once again, Miami pushes us hard, but we win 33-30 in OT. MOM is...QB Chuck Roberts. The old cagey veteran. Tamm was knocked out early and is doubtful for a while. Roberts was 31 of 49, 355, and 3:2 after Tamm was 6 of 7, 76 and 0:0. Holbert had 159 yards, Gorham 128, and 2 scores to WR Brian Gerken and another to TE Perone. Konrad added 33 for 146. And FF by S Franz recovered by DT Byrne, no picks. 2.5 sacks by DE Roberson (I moved him into many of LB Jacobs’ formations). 6 KRB by Guzy, 3 by Lane Danieles is out with a herniated disk, and I IR him. Jacobs is back. Tamm is doubtful and I deactivate him I sign RB Theodore Blackburn back to my squad. I hand Blackburn the FB role Jorg was doing, as he’s better at it. Clinton starts for Danieles New York defeated San Fran 20-16 Seattle lost in Green Bay 24-16 Tennessee won in Pittsburgh 22-19 Week 3 – Conference Championship We host the Titans Green bay hosts the Giants Ready? Green Bay wins 23-20 And we win 26-13 Konrad, MOM, with 32 for 144. Roberts is 14 for 27, 129, and 1:1 and hit Holbert for a score. Dana Cortez with a INT RET TD for a score, and Clayton rocked 2 picks. FF by Newhart, recovered by Benton. Sandeyer with 5 KRb No new injuries..... The 2034 NFL Super Bowl Your #1 Seed 15-1 AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs Vs Your #1 Seed 12-4 NFC Champion Green Bay Packers QB Milas Tamm is still doubtful. I dress him, I case we need him. I also dress Barrett over Jorg. Experience over youth on this stage. Their QB just has a banner day. He is so good. Our defense can’t contain him. 22 of 30 for 316, 3:0. Nasty. Just nasty. Where is Flemming? He got 1 single sack? Any FF? Picks? Nope! Just 6 tackles. Come on Flemming. Anyone else? 1.5 sacks by Cobb, and 1 by Benton, but still nothing major. We had no picks collected on the day. Now, we did get a FF by Cobb that DE Enrique Banks recovered. But that’s it for turnovers. Sigh Well, Konrad wasn’t bad. 34 for 130 and 2 scores. That’s a very, solid, strong Super Bowl performance. And Guzy gave you 4 KRB and Kelley 3. So yay for teamwork.... But still. No miracles from special teams. Well not like you’d expect. On special teams, we forced a fumble, and LB Tyler Hopkins recovered it and returned it 12 yards for a score So we wound up with 21 points from those. But the Pack were chasing us early, and went for 2 twice on TDs to got up to 23-21 vs us in the early 2nd half. But.... Then the MVP of the Game struck. QB Roberts wound up up with 24 of 31, 285, and 3:1. He hit Holbert for 102 yards and 2 scores, and then Perrone for 1 TD and Gorham for 7 for 94 yards. Konrad. Special Teams. Roberts. We get our 2nd Super Bowl win. Oddly. But I’ll take it. Despite all of the other things Roberts did in his career, that was his first Ring, and his first Super Bowl MVP. At the age of 39. Congrats QB Chuck Roberts! I would not be surprised if Roberts retires on that note. That was a fun story for him. And a win is a win. Would I preferred a Tamm win? Sure! But I’ll take any win over a Tamm maybe. Especially a 44-23 win.

Ready for Stats!
Passing – Let me show you the whole league: Code:
Tamm led the league with 4401 pass yards, and had a great 32/10ration, 66.0% completion, 101.3 rating, and 25 sacks, 4 fumbles, 2 fumrec. You can’t deny he was tied with Acosta, who won 1st team All Pro, and had a better rating, 400 fewer yards, but better %. Tamm was on target though. Rush! STATS Code:
Again, let me show you the league rushing stats. Konrad’s 1686 rush yards and 15 rush scores both lead the league by a lot over 11 TDs by one and 250 yards over another. His ypc was better than last year and you can see just how many times we rushed with him. But you cannot deny the results of the Konrad. Receiving! Back to just my team Code:
Hello Gorham! Looks sexy, right? That’s the first 1000+ yard season I’ve had. Only 5 players in the league hit 1000. I thought Gorham might have been robbed of Offensive Rookie of the Year, and then I saw a Rb who did very well, so I agreed that Gorham’s lack of an award was justified. Still, you got to love this guy. 97 targets, 70% grabs, and just 2 drops. Gorham is here to stay. Hacther’s injury may have prevented him from getting 1000+ yards too, which would have been uber-cool. Now, I am surprised tt the lack of balls thrown Lluellyn’s way. He has the lowest target % this year by far. I jammed him out there on as many pass plays as I could and you can see he had the 2nd largest # of pass plays on my team after Gorham. Perhaps the quality of the other WRs and options gave Tamm more choices? But that saddens me, because his catch % is so much better than Perrone’s was last year. Oh, and Konrad had more than 2000 yards from scrimmage. KR/PR Mayes was 57 PR, 7.8 avg; 25 KR, 22.6 avg P Derek Grandon 79 punts, 47.7 avg, 31 in 20. K Fields – 32 of 39, long of 51, 53 fo 53 PAT What does it say about Fields that he improves with his neck on the line? Def Code:
Boom, Flemming! He, again, led the league in sacks, albeit by just 0.5 sacks over two players, a DE and DT. Jacobs’s 12 sacks remained 2nd best among LBs this year. I’m surprised by the down year Nicky Cobb had though. 2.5 sacks? Huh. Has the era of the Cobb ended? He entered this season with much better skills than Benton, but Benton still had 11 sacks. It may be time to call up Roberson permanently from the minors, but not for Benton... Pass coverage! Code:
Hello Randall Clayton! Just one pick, sure, but a full 23 passes defensed. That’s on fire. For perspective, the next highest is 18 with 1 Cb, then 16 with another CB, then 14 with 1 S, and then Flemming at 13, with another LB and 1 CB. Moschetti was strong from my nickel. Blocking: C Sandmeyer, 49 KRB, 6 pancakes, 8 sacks allowed Kelley, 37 KRB, 6 pan, 3 sacks allowed OT Byrne, 30, 1, and 4 OG Duzy, 12 starts, 26, 2 and 0 OG Lane, 16, 0, 6 Banks, 4 starts, 14, 0 and 1 sack Sandmeyer proved himself, and led all players in KRB by 8.

The Flemming Watch:
6 time Defensive Player of the Year 663 solo tack, 157 assists 76.5 sacks, 14 blocks, 59 hurries, 109 QBKD 24 Ints, 3 INT RET TD, 76 pasdef 21 FF, 1 FR TD, 5 FumRec, It’s like every single statline of Randall Flemming is a mic drop. Team Awards: Off Player of the Year: C Randall Sandmeyer – Yup! He’s here to stay, if we can afford him...... Def Play of the Y: Jacobs – Finally. Dude it was time. Seriously past his time. Good jorb Jacobs. Spec Teams Player of the Year: Sigh Fields. And saying so annoys me so much kicker! Rookie of the Year: WR Hunter Gorham. Clearly. No questions asked. He’s sexy as you want him to be. Heart Award: QB Chuck Roberts. Dude. You deserve it. Imagine if a long-lasting Qb who was good and won Pro Bowls and All Pros here and there, like, say, Phillip Rivers, is cut from his team near the end of his career, and he becomes a journeyman for a few years, before he lands on a team with a 2nd year QB who’s good and needs some mentoring from you. And then that QB goes down in the playoffs, and you take over for three games, and get Super Bowl MVp. Think about that story. That is the story that makes movies. Sports movies. Roberts, thanks for all of the fish

End of Season:
Performance – 90 Value – 53 Profit – 74 Roster = 11 Score – 71 12th worst stadium 10th highest value 13th highest support 11th best Roster 9th worst economy We made 143 mill in cool hard cash, and 99.4% capacity full 6 players make the HOF. QBs Mariota, Winston, Wentz, and then LB Josiah Glover, 3 time All Pro, and then WR Clayton Bradley with 11692 yards, 4 All Pros, 1 ring, league’s fastest man 1. And... then... RB Diego Lorey, from my Browns dynasty. This may be my last inductee from the Browns era. Lorey – 12167 rush yards, 84 rush scores; 4206 rec yards, 28 rec scores, Off Rookie of the year, 2021, 4 time All Pro, Super Bowl MVP< 3 Rings Good job Lorey! That gives my Cleveland era the following HOFers: RB Diego Lorey QB Brendan Arledge OT Shon Coleman DE Julio Stanton DE Joey Horner OT Joe Thomas I’m surprised at the lack of WRs there. But’s FOF8 is very, very hard to make the HOF as a WR. Only one player is in the WR HOF. But Dustin Wright should be here. 1064 catches, 12874 yards, 86 TDs, 4 Rings, 3 All Pros. And I would expect a certain NT and SLB to make it too. Well, it happened... QB Roberts retired on a high note, and, as the Legend of the Game. Good job Roberts! And that gives me a LotG as well. Other retirements of note: WR Rodney Riley, from my Browns dynasty, just retired – 10837 yards, 888 snags, 58 TDs, 4 KR RET TDS, 3 Rings, 2 All Pros OG Ralph Haroldson, 398 KRB, 50 pancakes, 87 sacks allowed, 2 All Pros OG Rickey McEachern, 344, 42 and 53 sacks allowed, 3 All Pros OG Jim Carpenter, 347, 47 and 43, 3 All Pros DE Corwin Willis, 98. Sacks, 4 time All Pro, I suspect HOF Bound DE Grayson Floyd, from my Browns, also just retired WLB Jackson Clark, 1 Ring, Def Rookie of Year, 2 All Pros, 80.5 sacks, 141 QBKD, 108 hurries, etc. Well, he just retired: SLB Karl Rincon, 2 Rings for my Browns, 82.5 sacks, 14 blocks, 79 hurries, 59 QBKD, 827 solos, 231 assit tack, 11 picks, 74 pasdef, 21 FF, 8 Rec, 4 various RET TDS. Rincon was my Flemming. Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2023, and All Pro too. All Pro the next three years, and Def Player of the Year in 2027. I suspect Rincon makes the HOF too. SS Lamont Mitchell, 6 time All Pro, 1 Ring, 37 ints, 156 pasdef, 1331 tack, 424 assists, another HOF?

Staff – I hand out raises to everyone!
We draft 10th I hire a new Strength Coord. That’s it. I won a Super Bowl! Time to jack up those ticket prices aye? Here are my UFAs: Hatcher Valle Benton Sterne Barrett Fields McCarthy Anyone I want to tag and keep? So here is what I have coming up. I have the following players I need to extend, from their rookie deals: C Sandmeyer T Kelley P Grandon And maybe DE Roberson That’s a lot of cash leaving my front door. Meanwhile I have 52 mill in cap space this year, 40 post-rookies for keeping my peoples Now if I want, I can let Benton and Sterne head home, and just bump up Roberson and Newhart. I have no desire for Valle, Barrett, and McCarthy, and marginal, at best, for Fields. It’s just Benton, Hatcher, and Sterne. Who are between 31 and 33. I don’t want to tag the wrong one, and then mess up my cap for the next three signees, and then QB Miles and RB Konrad. I franchise Benton

FA Time
I resign a few RFAs. Alright, sticker price time... LT Axel Kelley signs for 4 years, 50 mill C Sandmeyer, 5 years, 74 mill. Mostly flat cap hit at 13 mill each of the first three years P Grandon – 3 years 10 mill I am now left with just 1.6 mill in cap space I can cut Perrone and Felker and save about 15 mill, and 25 mill to cut Cortez So I keep it up. I give SS Clayton 4 years, 42 mill I added a year to LB Roberts’s deal and Clintons I add two years to DE Roberson FS Allen wants serious 34 mill over 4 years cash to sign Let’s head to week 2 and see what I can do to shape my roster Hatcher wants 3 years, 33 mill. Nope. Even if I cut Logan, nope. Not considering his age. Sterne wants 42 mill in 2 years, K Fields 4 years and 25 mill. What do I need? Backup QB Many backup Rbs, Backup TE If I keep Logan, Gerkon, Holbert and Gorham, I think I have a sexy WR corps. I don’t need Hatcher that much. Logan is making 6 mill, so I can save 5 by cutting him. Backup C Starter OG only Backup OT K Maybe Backup DL Maybe fix Cbs. I have aging or disappointing Cbs, so a star rookie or a cheap and solid vet, something like that. Cook has not been what I expected or needed. Actually....hmmm.... I think it would be fiscally wise to extend Cook now, not next year. 4 years, 14.75 mill. Perfect. That’s only 800k more than the cap already was this year and 1.2 mill next, for two years of 4ish mill the following two years. Love it. Alright, I love Sterne, but I’m comfortable letting him go. I have Newhart who’s strong. I extend Cortez to 3 years, 40 mill, and slash his cap this by 13 mill. Yay money! I make an offer for K Fields. I start interviewing folks I make a 2 eyar, 4.2 mill offer to QB Mentor Sam Gardner, who is also the best QB in FA. Week 2 - Hatcher signs with Dallas for 37 mill, 3 years. I was hoping a lack of offers would drop the price. But Hatcher was the 4th best WR in FA. Good luck in Dallas! OG Harvey Gibbons was in FA and signs with New Orleans Week 5 – QB Gardener signs with me. Week 6 – Sterne heads to Indy for 43 mill, 2 years Week 9 – Fields signs. Are y’all ready for the draft?

The 2035 NFL Amateur Draft
The 0-16 Broncos take the stud QB, Grant Assenov from Liberty at 1.1 We have a lot fo CB talent I scoped out, as well as some OGs and such too. 1.32 arrives and all 6 of the top CBs are off the board. None fell. Instead I have some seriously strong looking Rbs like Mickey Donovan, Tevin Hutson, Amari Gargaro and a nice OLB named Buddy Mulinaro whom I scouted and came back underrated. But I can take Mulinaro and slide him in in the middle of my LB corps easily enough. Let’s Buddy this thing. 2.32 – DT Shaun McKillop? FB Abraham? McKillop is BAP. Which is often how I draft back here at 1.32 and 2.32 and such. Just take what’s there of quality. That’s McKillop. No needs, just quality. Or I could go with a strong looking FB, which may help to open some paths for my RB. Neither is a major need. Perhaps, if he plays as he looks, McKillop could be my NT instead of Raymond down the road. Maybe. Or I can move him. Or I can grab FB Abraham Heinlein and be fine with a new FB. Neither is a need. But both have value. Basically, I would be playing a FB as a FB. But there have been times when I’d run a Rb or a TE instead. So do I want the roster spot for a FB to help better be a FB? Talent at a non-need space, or the best FB in the draft. Man, I’m not sure. This is where I got Newhart, at the 2.30 spot. D Line 3-4 Nts sometimes fall, because they aren’t needed as much. Feh. I go McKillop. FB Abraham goes 7 picks later 3.32 – RB Mason Garrison? I go Garrison. 4.8 - LG Bernie Cooper? RG Moore? I go Cooper 4.32 C Makenzie Baker 5.32 – RB Caden Marsh 6.8 – MLB Norman Horn – Has a few signs of being a grower 6.32 – OT Alexander Luther 7.32 RB Hunter Robertson

They failed to move the Giants to Bakersfield.
We have an A draft. Here let me show you why: Early Rookie Lookie: NT McKillop – 45/75 LB Mulinaro – 56/75 LG Cooper – 25/60 C Baker – 27/57 RB Garrison – 40/52 RB Robertson – 30/51 LT Alexander – 7/49 LB Horn – 27/49 CB March 25/48 Clearly the class was my first two picks. And I am hoping to move Mulinaro to the middle and I have DT McKillop to have fun with. McKillop is the 6th player on the Green Page, but Mulinaro isn’t on there at all. Our scouts loved Mulinaro because he was a genuine 3-4 LB. Now I scouted a bunch of CBs, hoping they would fall, but you know me, I lay plans in case I need them. I scouted Mulinaro, who appeared to have good solid bars, because he wasn’t at the combine. He was at the top of the LB list when I drafted by score, so he fit where we took him. We think he’s the best LB by potential in the class, and the others are 78 and 77 and then his at 75. But due to his ability and fit in a 3-4 vs a 4-3, he’s the top choice of my coaches and scouts when you search the league for rookie LBs. There are 9 RBs on the Green Page – this was a very dense, thick crop of RBs. 3 in the 70s, and 7 more in the 60s. The best RB on the board was Gargaro when I picked, and he is 52/65, and the 4th best RB in the class. The FB I liked, Heinlein, is 33/68. I was the first to take a C off the board, as it was a weak C class, but I have the best by potential at 28/57. The others are 54, 53, 47, 45 and 38 potential. When I took Cooper, there were two better OGs still on the board – Wells and Gordon. Both went late 4ths. I could have taken them in the 4.8 spot easily. McKillop appears to be the best D Lineman in the draft. Unless we get a big bunch of roses helping out, CB Marsh was a big miss. We have like 5 CBs and 2 Ss that had better potential when I grabbed Marsh. Ah well Late FA No holdouts Week 2 – RT Valle heads to Oakland Week 3 – I signed all 7 UFAs I targeted.

Camp Time!!!
We sold 50,800 season tix I get a trade offer I like. A 2nd rounder in the future for WILB Alexander Roberts, a 56/56 guy. I take it. I move SILB Danieles to WILB and my rookie to SILB. This guy looks pretty sexy Whoa! I just had a major UFA boom: UFA WR Ted Frederick, 34/54 – He was 28/49 when he arrived pre-cap Campy Rookie Lookie: NT McKillop – 45/75 - 52/74 LB Mulinaro – 56/75 – 66/78 LG Cooper – 25/60 – 31/61 C Baker – 27/57 – 34/59 RB Garrison – 40/52 – 44/55 RB Robertson – 30/51 – 32/47 LT Alexander – 7/49 - 13/47 LB Horn – 27/49 – 33/51 CB March 25/48 – 29/49 WR Frederick – 28/49 - 34/54 I cut my 3d round draft pick mistake from last year, SS Wally Van Pelt I trade DT Louie Nabors to the eagles for their 4th and 6th in 2038 I cut RG Bernie Sch I cut WR Caiden Martin, another draft bust As he is no longer my backfield leader, I trim LB Ricky Clinton. We go a surprising 1-3 in preseason Do I want to lock in FS Chandler Allen as my starter for something like 4 years, and 36 mill? Let’s take a look At 59/59, Allen is the 6th best free safety in the league, and the 18th if you include all safeties. Sounds good to me. But I hate to lock down future Cap stud when I have a few rookies about to hit their final year that could be really pricey – QB Tamm, RB Konrad, TE Lluellyn All of those are key players at key positions. Now I can certainly play Konrad out for two more years and then let him go. Right now he wants 5 years and 76 mill. Nope. I’m clearly not touching, we all know he’s a product of the system and the great O Line play we’ve had. But Tamm and Lluellyn are something I need to retain. We sign him. It’s not easy to get high quality safeties where we draft. These past couple of years have been changing of the guard for the Chiefs, an it’ll continue. I inherited a team with a great set of skill positions at WR and TE – Perrone and Gretzky at TE, and King and Co at WRs. I got a studly D Line with folks like DT Sterne, DE Cobb, and DE Benton. Plus, I had a solid, 61/61 CB in Derek Felker. Today, post-camp and preseason: Felker has dropped to 36/36 and I deactivate him, in his final year with us Cobb is down to 65/65 TE Perrone is down to 49/49 in his final year, and will be my #3 TE on my roster DE Benton is 52/52 after franchisement

Alright,
Late Rookie Lookie: NT McKillop – 45/75 - 52/74 – 55/81 – BOOM! LB Mulinaro – 56/75 – 66/78 – 71/79 LG Cooper – 25/60 – 31/61 – 32/63 C Baker – 27/57 – 34/59 – 34/60 RB Garrison – 40/52 – 44/55 – 47/63 – Interesting... RB Robertson – 30/51 – 32/47 – 30/41 – BUST - Cut LT Alexander – 7/49 - 13/47 – 13/44 LB Horn – 27/49 – 33/51 – 34/59 BOOM CB March 25/48 – 29/49 - 31/52 WR Frederick – 28/49 - 34/54 – 36/54 We’re going to keep the 4th round rookie Cooper out there and grow him. I’m moving Garrison to my primary backup Frederick now my 3rd WR, Logan is 4th Here’s muh roster: Code:
I fast sim the season, just to check in, but obviously, we won;t play it fast speed. I like the slow and steady and give me a chance to make changes to depth charts, IRs, and such. We go 12-4, win the AFC West, #2 seed, make it to the Super Bowl, and lose to the Lions. Awards include League MVP Elias Tamm, Offensive Player OTY – Tamm, All Pro – Tamm, Guzy, and Kelley. Let’s play this thang
