2016 Offseason

This post will be updated throughout the playoffs and offseason. Keep up on the details here, because should you screw something up, ignorance won't be an acceptable excuse.

Re-Sign Players ENDS 11/04/15
Free Agency Wave 1 - Runs until about midnight-ish Thursday.
Free Agency Wave 2 - Runs until about midnight-ish Friday.
Free Agency Wave 3 - Runs until about midnight-ish Saturday.
Runs 24ish hours
REMEMBER: NO 7 year contracts. NO 6 year contracts (unless they ask for it). N0 1 year contracts (Franchise Tag doesn't count). Must send me screenshot proof if a player is asking for 1 or 6 year deals.
REMEMBER: Signing Bonus is paid up front, and spread out over the cap hits through the years. You must have the funds in advance.

Draft Prep- Runs until draft.
Runs from end of Free Agency up to the draft.
Draft
Sunday, November 8th. 8 pm EST.


Open Free Agency
Likely immediately after the draft if everyone is active. If more than a couple people miss, a set time will be provided.

Pre-Season
Skipping.

Coaching Carousel:
Giants HC Tom Coughlin retired.

Redskins fire Jay Gruden
Chargers fire Mike McCoy

Bengals fire Marvin Lewis
Saints fire Visor-wearing coach with alias
Patriots fire cutoff-sweatshirt coach with alias.
Packers fire Mike McCarthy
Cardinals fire Bruce Arians

I will be messaging everyone tonight. We need to figure out the draft ASAP.
If FA starts tomorrow night, it can end Saturday night, followed by drafting Sunday night.

With that in mind, Sunday is bad for one user I know, but we always have one or two that get screwed over with scheduling. So have Monday night in mind as well. It will have to be late to accommodate west coasters getting off work.

Damn you Mission & your racist Washington team stealing my McCarthy. Didn't even get to bid on him. Knew I should've fired Philbin before the AFC Champ game

Haha You snooze, you lose

Updated Offseason schedule. I texted many of you as a heads up. I'm monitoring contracts closely. 

Please follow the honor system and only offer deals within a +/- range of 1 on what the player is asking for. Pay special attention to not offering the 1 or 6 or 7 year deals.

The first thing I looked for were Steelers to retire.  Vick is no big deal and I expected Harrison to call it quits.  However, the one that jumped out at me was Eli Manning retiring.  Obviously it doesn't really effect me that much in that I don't use the Giants or play in the NFC East but it does make me think about Roethlisberger's future.  Eli and Big Ben were in the same draft class and are about the same age.

Do I need to start worrying about Big Ben retiring after next season possibly?  Do I need to re-think my draft strategy for this season or at the very least next season given that possibility?  Might be tough this draft considering I literally used 0 scouting points on QB's, haha.

Free Agency Round 1 Open and the QB class is weeeeeak. Good thing Smoking Jay Cutler is on the trade block. 


Also, you can see player ratings by looking at their player card with Square!

RG3 also on block for late round draft pick

If I were to switch teams, when would be best time to do so?

I'd assume you'd want to draft and sign FA's. But you're gonna lose all scouting points to do so. So whenever works for you I suppose. And I just gave you an AFC West team to compete with too. 

Chargers better not leave haha

I really wanted to exercise my inner demons and run with the pats. But I guess I'll stay put. Lol
