Is it fair to his opponent to have to play a team over the cap? Just sayin'!

Seems like Smokey's deal with DCX - the first trade they've conducted, put him over the cap.

 

[Smokey]

Look you snakes..the deal was fine and then they adjusted salary. I have lots of people that I was and am going to drop. I haven't played my game yet so suck it.

All right, Johnny, but what about my money?

Any1 up for a game?

Anyone want to tussle?

FMT, when you go back to straighten out contracts, give Daw his:

Chiefs signed LCB Brandon Flowers to a five-year, $50 million extension with $22 million guaranteed.

 

[LukeSmith]

anyone want a free win

I'm half asleep, but let's roll! I want to see if we're still incompatible.

Sucks. I wouldn't want to play a playoff game like this. Not that I'll make the playoffs, but still!

Direct connect?

Also sorry if old, but I didn't notice until now. Re-signing is available. I wonder if it's contractually set for a standard salary or you negotiate.

Resigned Lofton and Douglas, I hope I can resign those left in the off season.

[Striker]

I was just messing with it. Re-signed LE Biermann to a 2-year deal. It offered me 1 yr, 2 yr, and 5 yr.

FA bidding will be pretty fun.

This is the commissioner's guide (read it FMT!), but I think everyone should read it to understand how things work.

 

[DCX]

Drafting has become extremely important.

DCX

 

[Mrbob]

Damn! Forte is going to cost me a lot to resign him but I knew this was going to happen as this is the last year of his rookie contract. Good thing I have cap space.

Edit: Holy crap at Chris Harris! Dude is getting paid 1.6 million right now, and he wants 9 million per year lol!

 

[Nightz]

When are we 'vancin?

Also, I may be open to trading Vincent Jackson. I'd like to keep him but I got other people I need to re-sign so I could use the cap space.

 

[mik]

Maybe Sunday.

Any particular time looking likely?




It looks like I sorted out my issues with connecting to EA's servers--by moving all the game files/saves/etc, to a USB stick. (wtf)

Blount agrees to a 5 year, $11.4M deal with a $250K bonus.

Edit: When you resign a player, it replaces the current deal and the first year of your new deal is this season? wtf

I thought these were contract extensions, not completely new deals.

 

[BigAT]

Shouldn't people that are picking up free agents be doing so through the site instead of in game? Doing it in game means no contract is signed and the player has no effect on the team's cap.

You are resigning them to a new contract. Effectively ripping up the old one. You can wait out the year and see if you want to get player for cheaper, but then you are in a bidding war for him.

Forte cost me 4.3 million on my cap (up from 1 million to 5.3 million per year), but I had to do it since he was playing on his rookie contract.

I'm now seeking trades for Chris Harris if anyone is interested.

 

[Striker]

With that contract he's seeking, Chris Harris might have Daunte Culpepper'd his way out of the league.

 

[goldlion054]

Cliff Avril on the block fellas

looking for a G, C, or CB.

 

[CB3]

WR DeSean Jackson agrees to a 3 Year 20 Million contract with the Eagles

 

[LukeSmith]

there are going to be so many overrated overpaid players just sitting out in the coming seasons

 

[ph33nix]

I need to lock up Finnegan cause the rest of my corners are turrrrrible

Yes. Everything should be done through LM.

Draft, trades, signings, everything.

Why are people picking up FAs anyway? Seahawks never released one they picked up.


I think you guys borked the ea franchise site with the videos.

Yeah, site is completely fucked for me in both Chrome and Firefox.

[Ferny]

Burress wants 5M for a one year deal pshhhhhh

 

[Mrbob]

Before people go crazy resigning, make sure to look at existing contracts too. Some player contracts escalate in their final year.

do we have power to restructure a contract?

Doesn't look like it.

 

[LukeSmith]

DCX

Nope! So a bunch of the bad back ended deals that were signed in the last 3-4 years will result in players getting cut!

 

[LukeSmith]

The Indianapolis Colts and guard Ryan Diem reached a two-year deal that freed up an additional $2M in cap space for the 2011 season.

 

[DCX]

Fmt has the power to edit contracts. I do as admin of the dummy league, so maybe under approval we could submit a select few bad contract for approval of restructuring.

[Rorschach]

Dang, Daw, how's your boy Cassel doing?

I vote no on this! Be a man, make the hard choices!

Lol manhood is being decided on a videogame? Gg Luke.

I bring it up as an option because teams restructure deals all the time. It's fine by me. I'll all ready dead set on cutting two of my key players and more expensive free agents to be.

DCX

 

[TheCrow]

fyi, Brandon Lloyd is on the block.

 

[LukeSmith]

It's ok, I'll lose when we play! I'm on my own suck for luck campaign
