I deleted it because i wanted to make sure Forsett had somehow been released, so i got the wife to check xbox........it took a while :rolleyes:, anyway he has been released, how i'm not sure, cos he was only available for trade, doesnt matter now as ive resigned Jennings.

oh and after that above comment, Titans are definitely still going down........If i can find some OLB's

.

PerrinV2 · 25-04-2013 09:40AM

OLB's you say?
DJ Williams my ROLB is rated 87

Mikeyt086 · 25-04-2013 12:57PM

Only loss from the Jags is LE Robert Geathers, 85 ovr who was being played out of position at RE as Jeremey Mincey is my starting LE. Not a big deal as I wanted to strengthen there anyway, but a nice pickup for someone.

I haven't logged on in ages to madden! I don't even know what to do in off season

You need to decide which of your players whose contracts are up you want to re-sign.

You then offer them new contracts and they either accept or reject.

Then we do Free Agency, where you offer out of contract players contracts and they choose which team they want to sign with.

Then we do the draft, where you can pick up 7 new players.

Finally we do the preseason where you can evaluate all your new players before you cut your roster down to 53 players for the new season.

Rams say an emotional goodbye to RB Steven Jackson.

Here's hoping he goes to a team with a good O-line cos the Rams didn't have a good enough one for a team based on the Power Run!!!

Also didn't resign a bunch of squad players.

Resigned QB Jason Campbell, MLB Jay Dwyer and RG John Moffitt.

Still on the lookout of a QB if anyone has one available?

Colt McCoy available for a pack of taytos

PADRAIC.M · 25-04-2013 07:32PM

Hey Ben/Heli am I still on auto?! Thought after the superbowl I'd have resigning a but "my actions" just has ready to advance ticked ?!

mikemac1 · 25-04-2013 07:42PM

A good few Browns hitting FA

Most notable name is Ryan Grant 84

May suit a team that has many backs like the Steelers or Redskins

You don't get many snaps with Trent Richardson as starter!

Rock Lesnar · 25-04-2013 07:45PM

No Colts players hitting FA, They quickly realised they would'nt get a game anywhere else, so resigned for alot less money then they were originally looking for

Ben is still on charge... This wouldn't happen on my watch! Expect the CPU has cut your guys!

davetherave · 25-04-2013 08:07PM

Pats don't appear to have any retirees, so that is all good. Gronk hasn't decided to call it a day anyway.

I do appear to have a little problem with my salary cap availability, I don't have any

I presume that if I want to resign a player whose contract has expired, I need to cut somebody to get back into positive numbers first?

helimachoptor · 25-04-2013 08:11PM

Yeah I had a lot less than I thought and let Howard go, an 88 rated OLB...

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!!! :pac:

Mikeyt086 · 25-04-2013 08:20PM

I am hoping that the Cap space is not final, and we get more for FA, because I only had £6m and now only £2.6m

davetherave · 25-04-2013 08:24PM

I screwed up in season 1. Welker wanted a new contract so I happily gave him a new contract. What I thought was 10 million over 5 years, turned out to be 10 million a year FOR five years.
Time for some good team management me thinks.

Edit: Yup, If I release Welker, I'll free up 6.78 Million in Cap Space, but it will cost me 17.50 million in a penalty. Guess I'll just have to make do and hang on to him so

Rock Lesnar · 25-04-2013 08:27PM

Colts have $24m

madalig12 · 25-04-2013 10:04PM

I had two million signed two of four and have a million left, no bidding for me in FA. manningham will be in FA

I think your ok anyway,the only players rated 80+ on the salaries thread for as having 1 year left are Dansy and your CB and they might just be heading into their final year of contract and not leaving at all.Plus you have over 30mil to spent in FA,your laughing so you are

Raoul · 26-04-2013 11:11AM

Haven't turned on the xbox in ages. Must get on to sort out my team.

Edit - and it was turned off pretty quick when I seen I am 2 mill over my cap salary.
