EXPANSION TEAM

[R-L-M-G]

so since there's no way in franchise mode to do this, however it would be a cool feature .


i guess my question 2 you is how many players or what players do you think would be up for grabs from each team ?

is it
2 qb, 4 wr, 2 dt etc .. or is it each team is allowed to protect x number of [players

this would be much appreciated thanks

also if theres anything im missing on this subject lie me know.

Don't really understand the question..But you can create a team, and put it into the franchise. Fill it with FA's or do a fantasy draft. You can't start a game unless you have the correct number of starters or back ups I believe.

What happens to the players of the team you replace? For example, if you replace your created team for the Lions, do Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson go to the free agent bin?

I may be wrong but I think you were looking for rules to go by for picking players for an expansion team. Here's the rules the NFL used for the 2002 Texans Expansion Draft.

Each NFL team listed five players that the Texans could select and the Texans were required to claim either 30 players or $27.2 million in contracts.

Existing teams were not allowed to put punters or kickers on the list, nor any player from their 2001 roster who would have become an unrestricted free agent in 2002. They could not list players who went on injured reserve during the 2001 summer's training camp nor any player who would become a restricted free agent after the 2001 season. Their list could include only one player with more than 10 years' experience.

If I remember right, haven't made a team sense madden 08, the team you drop, those players become FA's. Don't quote me.

The team you replace i.e. Detroit Lions will have all of their players dissapear. Therefore, Calvin Johnson Jr., Matthew Stafford, etc. will not be in your franchise.

thanks woods that what i was looking for
but really only 5 players from each thats going to be hard to figure what teams would let certan "key " positions go...of the top of my head im guessing the browns would let anderson go with his big contract and quinnn being there man, dont think ill take him big price to pay...


and yes the team i replace there players will go to fa..im thinking the bills or ..sehawks ," (lots of old players )maybe the rams, im also thinking of allowing myself 1 or 2 players from the team that i will replace

this is were it gets complicated i have to release the players i want to fa then take say the bills release and sign the fa that will be on my created team so that the bills and my created team mirror each other

I don't like that.

I wish it had a real expansion mode, but 33 teams is lame so I don't know of a good possible solution.
