Free Agents still available on new roster update

After going through these 80+ players I found that Shayne Graham is on the Cowboys now so I moved him there. LT McKinnie as I mentioned before is a 84 overall and he is now with the Ravens, and according to what I have read they plan to move Oher back to RT and have McKinnie play LT.

Reggie Wells signed with the Eagles. So I put him there.

As far as I can tell thats the only 3 of those players 80+ on the FA list that are now with teams.

I noticed something really big in roster editing this year though. If you just change position on a RT to LT now they go WAY down in overall. Not sure why but I moved Oher from LT to RT and he went from a 82 overall to a 88 overall.

Tiki Barber who has been out of football for 5 years is an 83? Seriously? Come on man...

Nope he is not in the roster new roster, not sure if he was in the original ones, probably he was. The new ones they must have taken him out because he officially retired. But there are other players still on the FA list that are retired now as well, like Heath Evans who is on the sidelines as an analyst for the Pats is still on the FA list. Brian Westbrook who didn't even play last year is still on there.

So who knows how they decide this stuff.

Oh yes and my biggest pet peve from last year was that Calvin Johnson has the stupid JR. on his name still which totally blows the whole emersion thing for me when playing online. There is not even an excuse for it this year as the Lions cut Bryan Johnson so there are no longer 2 Johnson receivers on the team to "confuse" people online.

No Shawn Andrews? or was he just below the 80 OVR cutoff?

73 overall rated LT from Arkansas 7 years EXP? Is that him?

Though if you changed him to RT he would probably jump up to an 80 based on what I posted earlier in this thread. I tried it for fun and he goes up to a 79 if you edit him to a RT

That's him. Surprisingly low. He played really well last year when he played. The issue with him is the health of his back.

All I can say is thank God they put in a Franchise roster editor feature this year. At least now if you start a franchise early and some players that are rated really crappy have a break out year you can reflect that in the game.

I'm not sure what to do with Carson Palmer though as he is still on the Bengals roster. I wonder if I should drop him to a Free Agent then edit his attributes to make him really low so no one signs him and he retires after the first year.
