Started my Jets franchise today. Going to play as the OC, so playing only offense and letting CPU handle a portion of the team management (resigns, fa bidding, partial scouting). Started with 32 teams to prevent FA's from being signed and to let current rostered players have chance at final 53. Will probably retire the coaches (sans created Bill Belichick and my HC Todd Bowles).
Currently at Week 4 of the Preseason, played Week 3 vs Giants and Week 4 vs Eagles (force won weeks 1/2 to match current standings). McCown 'won' the QB battle, or in other words didn't play as bad as Petty or Hack against the Giants. Tiny bit of drama against the Eagles though, McCown went down on an incompletion after getting destroyed by Graham and left the game with a high ankle sprain. Petty and Hack actually put decent efforts in but afterwards happy to see McCown will be ready for week 1.
Have cuts to make, figured I'd sim and see who the CPU cuts, reload and make one or two overriding decisions in case it's a young O player I want to develop. With four players on IR and 17 cuts to make, probably looking at 7-8 cuts after PS signings.
Some big injuries after week 3; Dak will be out of 6 weeks, Gronk for 4, David Johnson 7, and L. Bell will miss the season opener for Pitt. Giants and Dolphins have been hit hard with injuries, maybe need to drop slider a touch.

Finally, Week 1 is here! Spent about 2 hours this morning doing cuts/PS for all 32 teams. Won't continue with 32-team control, but wanted to make sure teams didn't dabble in with the FA pool.
Set year goals for all the coaches, not sure if it will stay or even effect firings at the end of the season, but thought maybe it can help guard new coaches (low goal) and put others on hot seat (high wins or playoff birth goals).
The most intriguing storyline going into Week 1 has to be Cooper Rush being named the starter in Dallas. With Dak injured and Zeke suspended, Cooper Rush and D. McFadden have to step up and prevent Dallas from starting off slow.
Another developing story is the QB situation in Miami. Cutler went down with a foot fracture in game 4 of the Preseason. He will be out 8 weeks, Matt Moore has taken over, but I think it's safe to say any playoff dreams for the Dolphins have surely died down significantly.
In New York, the Jets are gearing up for their Week 1 matchup against the Bills . The coaches know that every win this year will require a lot of hard work... and luck. The goal this season is to find out if any QB on the roster (Petty or Hack... sorry McCown) is worth invest our future in. McCown will be our #1.. for now, but I'm fully expecting our young players will be getting plenty of reps once our playoff 'hopes' are dashed.
Back to Cooper Rush, looks like he's started hitting the gym pretty hard once he found out he'd be the Week 1 starter.
