    Remember when resigning your own players.

    Resigning current players:
    Maximum contract length of 6 years
    Regardless of the length of contract, bonus to be capped at 50% of the total deal.

    For example, if you give 10m salary you can give maximum 10m bonus

    Also be reasonable with the length of a deal for older guys.
    (By older someone who could potientally retire this season or next)

    FA Rules
    Maximum contract length of 6 years
    Regardless of the length of contract, bonus to be capped at 50% of the total deal.

    So the exact same as the resigning rule

    Link to Draft Day Poll

    Multiple options there so just fill in your name and what times best suit you.

    Draft set for
    Will set up a draft chat room on the day,could be handy for those wanting to make deals.
    No trading with CPU during draft.(as future draft picks might be involved)

    Post Draft FA will be Snake Draft.
    Will run as the same order as the draft for round 1 then reversed.
    A thread will be made to post picks.

    Saints open for trades to get cap back inline even bids on big Jimmy Graham will be listened to if cap penalty is not to much, mainly looking for picks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,885 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Eagles start off with -2.5m so we released Brent Celek to resign Pryor and Roach, on to the Draft for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,028 ✭✭✭tripperman


    Saints cut Colston, bunkley, Evans and Thomas to go from -13mill cap to +12mill cap and resign hicks, Griffin and Bennett


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,028 ✭✭✭tripperman


    Is the rookie money taken out of the cap space I have or do I have to take that into account? and are we only allowed to carry below a certain cap penalty like 5mill at the end of next season?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,725 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    Taken out already
    , if you go into the salaries screen you'll see how much you have allocated (will depend on how many picks/where they are)

    Cheers heli, I have seven picks 29th each round 1-7 and 19th in rounds 2 and 4, so i must check for the rookie money, drew brees is for trade if any takers,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,197 ✭✭✭giffney1991


    I have like 37 million cap...and that's after having to franchise tag for 7 million on my fav LOLB.

    Getting rid of Larry Fitzgerald Clearl was a good choice

    :D:D:D

    Or I'm reading it completely wrong :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 772 ✭✭✭guns4all


    Ive a funny feeling i have a few players that i cant offer new contracts to.

    On the salaries page it says they have 1yr left on their contracts like the impending FAs have.

    But they dont appear on the resigning page, is there some nfl contract law that applies which means i cant offer them contracts?

    I have same with brees I could be wrong but think that the coming season is the last on the current contract

    In the contracts page their salaries appear as zeroes for next season tho, the same as players that are going to become free agents.

    Would it have anything to do with unrestricted free agents? Has madden got that evolved?

    Is that 2017 salary you're looking at? cause thats the season after this.

    It is annoying in this that they couple together players the are out contract this season and players who are out next season,as in both appear as 1 year left on the salary screen.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,885 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    I think i may have to do a chip and let Shady go :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,028 ✭✭✭tripperman


    I tryed to stretch my 9 mill as far as I could on back ups, was thinking of trading brees for tannehill but he's on open market


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,477 ✭✭✭✭Knex*

    Also make sure to have a look at players stats(those in the 30+ bracket) before throwing in a bid(if they're available to see on the connected franchise website as not all are),as they may be have regressed quite badly.

    Checked Jimmy Graham today can't trade him, penalty is more then the saving on him

    i like the location of the draft :pac:

    The wifes away, so all welcome :D

    Any actual signings happen?

    Sorry misread the schedule, thought it was 24 hrs per stage!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,028 ✭✭✭tripperman


    I'm happy with the three signings I got so far all fill needs for me at cheapish prices and have a kicker now so that's a draft pick saved, have my eye on two more players to fill up gaps on the rooster before the draft, just wondering when draft will be set for finishing scouting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,343 ✭✭✭Nelbert


    Got 3 so far. The Packers get Gay as a nickelback, Raji returns for the Cheese and Flynn comes back to play pre season and look like being trade worthy and then ultimately fail for whoever gets him.


    Hey Browns, I might be willing to trade Matt Flynn?

    What on earth did you offer Gay? I put a hefty package in, and found you were still the highest bidder. Upped it even more to see if it changed to me, out of interest, and nah. Still you.

    Pulled out then :pac:

    I'm not sure how reliable that highest bidder tab is.

    Ahh, right. Saw Heli had overtaken me in the bid for Timmons, so I upped my own bid massively, and yet he's still showing as the highest bidder as well.

    May lower it again if that's the case.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,197 ✭✭✭giffney1991


    Pretty sure it only changes when it's advanced each week?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,477 ✭✭✭✭Knex*

    That would make sense. Cheers giffney!


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,725 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    signed a few decent guys.

    Ive a big enough bid on timmons but tbh.. i may withdraw it and and go all in on a WR...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 772 ✭✭✭guns4all


    How reliable is the madden site for FA bids?
    Away from xbox for the weekend so will have to use the site

  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,725 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    i wouldnt use it tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,028 ✭✭✭tripperman


    I wouldn't either I find it awkward for offering contracts I use it to look at a players stats before I offer him a contract in fa on Xbox

    I was considering it but I assumed I wouldn't outbid with your cap space so focused elsewhere.
