    Re-signings can be done anyway you want.

    But be warned if you give a shedload of bonus to a player and he gets injured in the first week.. you make it impossible to cut him!

    ****************************************************

    For Free Agency and i'll remind you all again before it starts

    Remember gents, max of 20% of total contract value can be salary.

    If you want to offer a total of 1 million, this mean 800,000 is salary, 200,000 is bonus.

    Handy spreadsheet here, SPREADSHEET

    There will be no excuses taken, if you fcuk up on bonus % or years (or both) you will be forced to release the player and take the cap hit.

    Please thank the post.

    Locker turned me down, 10 million a year which is more than he wanted! Fcuk that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,886 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Colts release Cam Newton and few others due to i could'nt bloody afford them and Anthony Castanzo is leaving to for the same reason


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Had a look over retirements (didn't want to start a new thread)

    Nines have lost Phil Dawson, Anquan Boldin & Frank Gore

    Bears may need to draft a new D, lost Julius Peppers, Lance Briggs, Charles Tillmann, Richard Seymour and Scott Shanle

    Falcons had 5 players retire but nobody really notable

    Only other big names for human teams Mike Vick for the Chiefs and Reggie Wayne for the Colts

    Edit: I'm only seeing the retirements thread now

    Players Leaving
    A.Sherman FB 94-Good Fullback
    A.Smith QB 94-Cracking QB,short,medium and deep accuracy all 90+,has a bitta speed to get out of trouble,throw power only 85 but I've never had a problem with it
    A.Bailey LE 82-Block Shed,power moves and strenght all 90+,7 sacks for the season,could be a good pickup for someone
    rest are rated less than 80 so just depth guys


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Some very good players hitting free agency this year it seems. This is where the teams with significant cap space can really separate themselves.

    It's a pity we only have the time to play three seasons as I think if we had a five season league that we'd obviously see teams completely transformed and later round draft picks take on more even more relevance as they could be developed into very good starters.

    From the Saints, hitting free agency that will be able to start elsewhere are:

    Roman Harper SS - 86
    Derrick Coleman FB - 81
    Antonio Garay RE - 79
    Sione Pouha DT - 79 (plays better than his OVR)
    Mark Ingram HB - 78 (plays better than his OVR)

    The rest are scrubs really.

    Franchise tagged Signed Muhammed Wilkerson, cost 3mill less per year that what he wanted as part of a 4 year salary.

    Loads of WR leaving NYC. Clyde Gates (87) Ted Ginn (83) Jeremy Kerley (77) plus another WR who was on a one year deal.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,351 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    All my free agents left with the exception of one Guard who stayed put.

    Not a huge an of all the free agency happening over the long weekend, won't be able to log on at all I'd say. Should be back for the draft but will have no scouting done.

    Are you serious?? I bought retirement packages for them aswell. :mad::mad: Tillman missed all of last season through injury (or maybe Jennings but still :mad::mad:)

    Yep it only slightly reduces the chances of the player retiring.

    I had the HB retirement package cos I thought Greene might, he stayed and Jackie battle who's you get went and retired!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Heli, when is re-signings being advanced? This evening is it? I think it was said that it lasts for 24 hours but can't remember. Cheers :)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,738 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    Yep it will be this evening, I'm out for a few beers but will likely be back just after 10 so will advance then.

    If anyone bigs on locker... you're dead :pac:

    Cheers. I have plenty of cap space (I think) so roll on free agency :D

    There's always Alex Smith and Cam Newton to bid on........and Matt Schaub


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,738 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    yeah theres a few QBs and to be honest Locker is probably worst


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,351 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    Josh Johnson is headed for Free agency too, gave him a generous offer, more than he was asking for and for more years, yet he still rejected it :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,886 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Can somebody explain why after releasing players that i couldnt Re-sign, my cap space has not increased, there was no release penalty with any of them.

    because the season is over and we havent advanced to the next season. You have already paid these guys their salary for the year so releasing them even when there's no penalty doesnt make a difference to your costs

    Taught that but when i released them 1st my cap space increased but now its gone back down so just taught i'd ask, one thing for sure is........im screwed now for FA


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,351 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    In order to free up cap space you need to release players who are signed beyond this year. Releasing players whose contract is already finished won't help.

    Yep i sort of knew that but like i said my cap space went up when i released them so taught i'd ask.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,351 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    You have a rookie reserve as well so if you were to trade away a first round pick for example your cap space would increase as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,501 ✭✭✭davetherave


    I think I made a booboo. :o I was doing my resignings there and went out of the resigning screen to check my depth chart to see if some players were needed or not. Anyways I was dismissing all of the notifications of x player has agreed to the contract and I dismissed the "resign your players" link.

    I can't seem to get to any resigning or renew contracts through the depth chart or roster view or team needs. :/

    Ah well. The only ones of note are Tebow who wanted 35 million over 4 years and Jerrigan a receiver.

    Try going to manage roster and salaries you can resign there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,189 ✭✭✭PADRAIC.M

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,501 ✭✭✭davetherave
