Trade:
* K/P Kaare Vedvik [Ravens] was traded to the Minnesota Vikings for a draft pick. Vedvik has been placed as the #2 K and punter due to his ability to do both. He also received ratings adjustments due to his performance in pre-season as well as last year.
Retirements:
* K Chandler Catanzaro officially announced his retirement from the NFL [Jets]. He's been added to the retired list and removed from the roster.
UDFAs:
* The following players were created and added to the roster today:
OLB/EDGE Malik Reed [Broncos] and
WR Keelan Doss [Raiders].
A few UDFAs including RB Christian Wade [Bills] still remain on my list to be added to the roster, however I would like to see production from Week 2 first. I'd hate to create the players only for them to get cut by week 3 and never re-surface. Prior to Week 1 all pertinent UDFAs will be added to the game.
Misc. Edits:
* Several pre-season week 1 standouts received ratings adjustments.
As mentioned before I'm trying to stay with Madden's current rating system and not going overboard but players such as Nathan Peterman, Preston Williams, Jalen Hurd and about 10 others received ratings boosts. When I begin really updating ratings, then I will have a full list with details but until then, they're minimal this early in pre-season.
* Equipment updates continue. All of @Helmet_Stalker's updates are included along with several players from social media highlights as well as user requests. ANYTIME a player receives any sort of creation/addition or rating adjustment, their equipment is automatically updated by me to the last game(s) they've played. So players like Peterman, Preston Williams and others mentioned above all received proper equipment corrections as well.
