It would be really kind of Collins and Baker to retire, but I doubt it. Baker's too exp to cut, but you may just have to cut McIntosh, Carter, Betts and Collins and suck it up with Randle El and Baker this year. Randle El has his uses, and I'm sure you'll be able to deal Portis... Hopefully you have several guys w/o bonuses you can cut too...

This is sad, considering how much I have played this game, but I have never encountered this before.

I went ahead and tried this to see what would happened, I signed Avril and 2 other players with low contract numbers (less than 500k per year) and it said my cap for next season was -610K. So I cut RB Portis and DE Carter and the cap number next year didn't change, but it did say I had 13 million in penalties. I didn't save it, I just wanted to see what it did to the cap numbers.

So why did the cap number not change for next year? Will it get out of the hole?

This is new territory for me...

Thanks for any help.

If I remember correctly, once you go past June 1(or is it July), you enter a new cap year. So nothing you do at this point will impact your cap numbers for this year, but it will impact your cap for next season.

As far as I can tell, you always have more money than it shows in your cap numbers. I think the game simply miscalculates the 2nd year of a contract, because I always have more cap room than it showed in the resigning period.

Just a few things to update what is going on:

OLB/MLB Avril: Re-signed for 6 years, 13.8 million and 2 million bonus.

Salary Cap: I now have about 350k over the cap. I would like to sign my back-up Center (1.76/3 yrs, 0 bonus) but that will put me under the cap next year so I am still not sure if I will do it. I may and if I need to cut him I can with no penalty.

Kicker Tynes: I am really starting to regret re-signing him. He missed to FGs in the Cowboys game. He has a 500k bonus, but I may eat that one and sign a better kicker. I may see if I can trade for one. I am just not pleased right now.

RB Portis: Before the game he was a 68% Health, Left leg 43%, Right leg 64%. After the game and 16 carries, he is now 64% Health, Left leg 39% and Right leg 59%. I have him #2 on the depth chart and may move him to #3 and let Betts take some of the carries.

Injury: The first major one of the season, TE Cooley, Tricep Strain, out 4-5 weeks.

QB Collins: He is "thinking about the future" so this might help ALOT on the cap next year. "keeping my fingers crossed"

Injury Update: OLB Suggs twisted his ankle on game day and is out for a week.

QB Collins: He is retiring at the end of the year! So should I use the extra money and re-sign Robinson or just get someone in the draft? With this crappy GM it is very difficult to scout anyone.

Bitter note: Seahawks LOLB Leroy Hill was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week after the clinic he put on against my offense. 17 tackles, 3 sacks, and an INT, those are the stats for all 3 linebackers, not just one!

[Aurabolt127]

Couple questions - Dallas has which Moss? I know you still have Santana, but I'm assuming Dallas has Sinorice not Randy, right? LOL!!

Crazy the two games each started with a safety, but you opened this game with THREE straight safeties? I'd ask how - but you simmed it. Still - crazy times..

Guess keep Collins buried or inactive and hope he thinks a little harder..
