The Franchise Moves/Advice Thread

[mjh91]

Are you going to change someone's position on your team, trade for someone, or even sign someone? Let's get our ideas started.

The only move I know for sure Im gonna do is give Brady an early retirement via a Rex Ryan Blitz!!!!! LOL

Seriously though, Im going to keep it as close to the current rosters as possible for the first season in my franchise.

Re: What moves do you plan on making in your Franchise?

Use my draft class from NCAA, draft Mike Floyd from Notre Dame to the Colts to start rebuilding the receiving corps. Likely trade for Tebow so i can develop him into a solid NFL QB after Peytons contract is up. Im also going to try to get some guys in the middle of the D-Line not sure who i want yet though. I'm defiantly going to trade Donald Brown and i might keep Addai around for a year or 2 before dealing him for a pick, long enough for Delone Carter to develop into a solid back. Also i need to make a move to solidify my secondary, specifically the corners. maybe trade for Samual idk yet.
Any other suggestions as for players i should trade for, cut, etc.?

Re: What moves do you plan on making in your Franchise?

Using the Dolphins I have a lot of work to do. I am going to focus on the offense first, mostly the QB position. I would really like to bring Tebow back to Florida. From there I will look for a running back (depending on how well Bush, Larry Johnson and the rookie turn out). And after all of that I will start on the D where they need everything.

I'm going to try and acquire NNAMDOIU ASSOUMOUGHA (I know I botched the spelling) for the browns and re-build the defense. I will probably make a custom playbook unless Shurmurs offense is close to what I like to call. I used to play my franchise teams with other teams then my browns but this year its all Brownies.I wish we were competitve for online play

Also using the Dolphins, but I'll probably play through the first season with my regular roster all the while scouting QBs like crazy, along with RBs and OL as well. Finding a franchise quarterback is my number one priority.

Try to package some of the Rams receivers for one mid 80s receiver

Re: What moves do you plan on making in your Franchise?

I'll be using Dallas first and my focus will be strictly on my young talent. The only move I might possibly make is re signing Leanord Davis to provide better protection for Romo until guys like Arkin progress more. And that's only if he is still a free agent by the first roster update.

Cardinals:

1. Trade Michael Adams and Richard Marshall for DRC, back from the Eagles. PP21 and DRC would start alongside each other. AJ Jefferson and Greg Toler will act as the backup corners.
2. Pick up a legit #2 WR in FA (not sure who at the moment).
3. Possibly make an addition at the OLB position.

Re: What moves do you plan on making in your Franchise?

Other teams:
Send Tebow somewhere he can actually play.
Make sure Kaepernick is starting for the 49ers and lower Alex Smith's rating.
Indefinitely suspend AP (without pay ),Ward,Big Ben,James Harrison and Mendenhall.
Put Peyton Manning's injury rating down a bit.

My team (Browns):
Get a RB that can catch.
Try to find a WR above 80.
Upgrade the right side of the o-line.
Upgrade d-line or make a playbook full of odd schemes to cover up lack of talent up front.

Re: What moves do you plan on making in your Franchise?

I will be running my Franchise with the Raiders this year. I usually don't do any adjustments to my team during the first season, I like to keep it as authentic to the real team as possible.

For other teams, I will be boosting Randy Moss rating and throwing him on the Colts or Steelers. (He is my fav player, sad to see him go).

Long term goals:
1.) Develop Terrell Pryor into a stud starting QB.
2.) Trade up to draft Dre Kirkpatrick and Zach Brown in the 2012 draft. (Imported 4 years from NCAA, including my created player.)
3.) Trade up to draft myself in the 2014 NFL Draft. 99 rated WR
4.) Try to sign some key OL and DT's in the off season of my first season.

Can't wait!

I don't get why people insist on being unrealistic. I'm a huge Jaguars fan but you won't see me killing Manning, Chris Johnson, Andre Johnson, and Arian Foster's ratings.

To each their own, I guess.
