Don't rush it! Long OP > half assed awards.



Dibs on newly named McFadden award! EA doesn't record 2 games: win rushing title anyway. To think there wasn't interest in him besides someone who didn't want him because of his INJ rating. smh

I'm coming off a season in which I lost Benson/Green/Gresham. How can you be mad at me for being gunshy?

You ended up getting your guy anyway.

Freshly added to the trading block:

David Diehl (LG - 82): 2 years left, $3.8M per year

Looking for LBs or draft picks.

 

[bluemax]

Its like baseball! Paying peanuts for young talent is always the way to victory.

 

[Rorschach]

lol wow

plaxico is gonna get PAID

My deal for a WR last year is looking better and better!

Trade him to me!

Maybe I'll listen, but you had ample opportunity! I even offered you a guard!

 

[Striker]

My deal for a WR last year is looking better and better!

The deal I gave Nelson (84): 6 Years @ $18,419,000
Plax's current proposal (83): 5 Years @ $23,100,000 (so far)

I'll take it!

 

[BigAT]

Surprised to see someone like Plax getting so much money considering how many fantasy receivers were in the draft.

 

[Rorschach]

...did the year advance or something? Did FMT re-sync?

 

[daw840]

Is Tamba Hali's contract right? It shows him with a 5 mil bonus every single year. He's giving me like an 11.5 mil cap hit!

 

[bluemax]

...did the year advance or something? Did FMT re-sync?

Did something change?

 

[Mrbob]

Yes. He signed a 5 year/60million dollar deal:

[Striker]

Pretty fun Wellie. Wanted to get some grabs for Tarver but he wasn't getting them like Nelson was. Wanted to try Hardesty out a little as well. He's a bit different than Hillis and I used him sparingly last season. Loving Newcomer's passing though, just hope I can maintain some of that success throughout the season.

My LB's look slow, which is expected. My Safeties are going to have to cover a lot of ground.

 

[daw840]

Yes. He signed a 5 year/60million dollar deal:

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/3626/tamba-hali

I guess I could just cut him....and the bid on him. lol

 

[Mrbob]

You could, but then so can anyone else. This is the chance you take!

I wouldn't cut anyone unless you really don't want the player or need the space to look for someone else. Once they are on the market you may not get them back.

I know....just kidding. Next year though, he will be cut. Unless he drastically increases in stats he will be approx 13 million cap hit.

 

[Birdman02]

I know....just kidding. Next year though, he will be cut. Unless he drastically increases in stats he will be approx 13 million cap hit.

Next year, you'll have to take a cap hit. At least, I think FMT is gonna hit us with cap penalties going forward.

 

[DCX]

Jesus. Dunta is a crook. Bamboozled the Falcons into giving him 10 mill a year, then he gets 13.5 from the Redskins and regresses. Now he is going to get at least 8 :/

DCX

 

[DCX]

Next year, you'll have to take a cap hit. At least, I think FMT is gonna hit us with cap penalties going forward.

When can you play friend?

DCX

 

[LukeSmith]

Surprised to see someone like Plax getting so much money considering how many fantasy receivers were in the draft.

He's big and basically can't be pressed. He's a monster

 

[Birdman02]

When can you play friend?

DCX

Should be able to tomorrow night, but I'll have to confirm with the wife.

 

[daw840]

Eh? During the offseason I thought you could cut whomever?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

people cut starting with week 1 (in other words, wednesday at 6 pm pst) will be subject to a cap hit. probably a % of their total contract

 

[goldlion054]

Anyway, Gold, when do you want to play our game?

Probably tomorrow night around 945-10ish East coast

also, ITS ULTIMATE MAHVEL BABY

 

[CB3]

i wanna start week 1

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

is FA done yet.

i wanna start week 1

season 1 begins tomorrow at 6 pm pst

 

[CB3]

season 1 begins tomorrow at 6 pm pst

so here is the part where i pressure you into starting week 1 in an hour, correct?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

so here is the part where i pressure you into starting week 1 in an hour, correct?

rors already pressured me and i moved up from thursday at 9 pm pst to wednesday at 9 pm pst to wednesday at 6 pm pst!

be patient!

 

[CB3]

rors already pressured me and i moved up from thursday at 9 pm pst to wednesday at 9 pm pst to wednesday at 6 pm pst!

be patient!

so the logical next step is today at 3PM PST. Your late 3 hours advancing, asshole.

 

[McNei1y]

so the logical next step is today at 3PM PST. Your late 3 hours advancing, asshole.

I can get behind this.

but I really don't care. I'm just looking forward to playing madden again.

 

[eznark]

so the logical next step is today at 3PM PST. Your late 3 hours advancing, asshole.

If we pretend like we aren't paying attention he'll move it up to 10 est probably. Just look away for 30 minutes.

 

[DCX]

Yeah, i think everyone who is going to bid has..i'm sure there would be no back lash of free agency ended now. Which would help people set up final pre-penalty cuts and set up their depth charts before tomorrows official start of the season.

DCX

 

[Smokey]

End FA. This has gone on longer than the preparation for the draft. Let's get the season started.

Tross I sent a trade to you for your guy through LM.

 

[Wellington]

If you're going to end it, don't be gay and say in here you're going to end it giving people time to jam bids in. I agree with doing it not at an exact time, tho.

 

[ph33nix]

I also vote for ending it tonight!!

Even though I don't think Daw will be around

 

[eznark]

Horseshit, you said you were going to end it tomorrow, end it tomorrow. Ridiculous giving people zero notice, especially when most people try to ebay the free agents.

 

[mastershake]

[Nightz]

End it tomorrow. I need more time with Skyrim.

 

[Smokey]

If it ends tomorrow FMT needs to do it like Wellie said...without announcing. Otherwise it's just going to be people waiting until the very last minute.

 

[BigAT]

I haven't even looked at free agency yet and haven't placed any bids. Why would I when it was ending tomorrow? No way you can just end it now without any warning.

 

[LukeSmith]

Horseshit, you said you were going to end it tomorrow, end it tomorrow. Ridiculous giving people zero notice, especially when most people try to ebay the free agents.

Hilarious

 

[bluemax]

Do you want to scrim at some point tonight? If not that's cool.

 

[Rorschach]

Bingo bango. Plus, FMT get on aim! I need to talk to youz!

 

[LiveWire]

Somnia I can play tomorrow night at 11 Eastern, otherwise I don't know when I'm going to be free during Thursday-Sunday.

 

[Wellington]

Congrats on getting Schaub back for way cheaper. No one wants him!

 

[BigAT]

Throwing yet another wrench into our attempts to have accurate roster management and cap numbers, it appears that the player management numbers, that LM uses for the purpose of assigning contract values and all of us have been using to determine progression, are inaccurate. Besides different numbers appearing on the depth chart, those same values are the ones that appear in-game when it comes to substituting players in and out.

Has anyone else had this problem when trying to set their depth chart? Trying to make Kenny Phillips my starting SS and I'm getting the "<player> is already starting at a different position." error and it won't allow me to start him. The problem is he isn't starting anywhere else, he doesn't even appear on the depth chart anywhere else in any capacity. I tried saving, leaving the depth chart and trying again, it didn't help.

That happened to me on the first day. I put a bunch of people in to fill the list, then put Ford back in (it was the WRs that was messed up for me). That fixed it, but then it turns out my depth chart didn't get saved... haven't checked since. I'll go check now! :|

[FrenchMovieTheme]

guys, before the season starts, please make sure to go through your roster and make sure that everyone has a contract. if they don't, you need to sign them to a contract immediately. don't make me have to do this for you!

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

wicked

I'll do my shit tomorrow morning. If TheJetWho is kicked then I'm good to go.

Chad Henne has less awareness than my rookie QB, sheesh.

Count another vote for not ending it at a specific time.

 

[Rorschach]

How is Dunta getting so payed? This was the richest corner draft I've ever seen.

 

[BigAT]

I certainly love me some bid jamming, but it's more about saving myself time and frustration with research. I'm sure there of plenty of guys that I would be interested in, but are already bid above my price range. Yesterday I would have looked over them thoroughly for ultimately no reason, whereas doing it tomorrow I can just skip past them.
