Re: To many stars on Free Agency? Unrealistic/Broken

AJ Green, Julio Jones, Dez Bryant, Demaryius (sp?) Thomas, Jimmy Graham, David Decastro, Tyron Smith, Matt Ryan, Darren McFadden, etc.

They are all on FA at 88+ overall in their early-mid 20's. In fact Tyron Smith from the Cowboys was on there at 93 overall at 24 y/o. There is no way all these guys would just walk in reality. I didnt even touch on the defensive side, that was just off the top of my head on offense.

It seems as soon as a rookie contract runs out, they show up on FA. As a result it takes no time to rebuild, and makes the FA so cluttered that some big-name vets, and solid young players go unsigned.

Players like Jonathan Baldwin at WR, Doug Martin at RB, the Dolphins Pouncey, are all on FA around 82-85 overall, from 24-26 y/o and get next to no offers. I got Baldwin at 84 overall for 1.5 million, his minimum range, because I was the only team to even offer.


This has lead to players like Brent Grimes at 90 overall (29 y/o), Corey Webster 88 overall (32 y/o), etc all going unsigned or unoffered.

Also seems like player styles/roles play too much of a part in contract prices. I'm a diehard Bucs fan, but its ridiculous that Blount is supposedly a 4.5-5 million dollar a year player at 81 overall, meanwhile I can go sign McFadden at 91 for the same price or less.

Then you have guys like James Laurinitis (sp?) who cost nothing to sign, despite being 86+ in every scheme. I signed him to the Redskins at 88 overall, for 1.78 million dollars. That is just silly.

Then I have Colt McCoy as a backup and he was 3.25 million base salary at 75 overall. So Colt McCoy gets double the contract that Laurinitis gets? I know they are different positions, but JL is a stud, and McCoy sucks. It's not remotely realistic. In fact backup QB's in general have insanely inflated salaries in the game.

Has anyone else noticed this/ encountered these problems?
in my ccm unless you put out a giant contract they would just resign wit there teams unless they were that bad of a team
