you guys are spending some strong money on some old players

 

[LiveWire]

You don't have enough speed receivers already?

Just planning for the future

 

[daw840]

What happens to the rest of the contract if they retire?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

just as a heads up regarding trades: i'm not going to allow MLB or NBA style "hey let me get rid of this contract because this guy is going to be a free agent anyways!" type trades. well let me correct that, it's not that i won't allow them, but they are going to be looked at a lot closer than trades with low salary guys who still have years left.

 

[LiveWire]

So no Mario Williams to the Falcons. Cool.

 

[Rorschach]

Actually, what's DHB's speed?

97!!

 

[BigAT]

Is there anything in place to prevent someone from giving an older player a long term contract to scare away other bidders during free agency, but then cutting the player after just a year or so? Like whoever is giving O'Hara $6.5M and 3 years.

Not really.

the LM guy should have more guaranteed money in the early years

 

[ph33nix]

Levious, I just tried to get in...EA servers down -_-

let's hope this works tonight. Otherwise I might have to Bob the league

 

[Wellington]

No thanks. I got rid of that dude last two franchises.

My C is not half bad, I like him.

 

[The Albatross]

What time tomorrow is the league going to advance? LiveWire's on the West Coast and he's got a late night at work tonight; I feel like an old man but I'm usually in bed during the week by the time he's heading home tonight... What time do we usually move on the advancing?

 

[daw840]

Anyone up for a community game?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

guys i'm going to start the regular advancement date after week 2 ends. we're still getting everything together and i want people to get a chance to get everything in order with the bidding and cuts and trades/etc.

Sounds good. Let me quit this ranked game and I'll be there.

 

[Wellington]

Alright fuckers, I am looking to sign a top DE or DT, the only piece not available from my team is Leon Hall. I am offering players and draft picks, I don't care! I would prefer a strong DT.

Also don't care the size of the contract!

[Nightz]

EA devs playing Gears and forgot to turn their servers on.

 

[Mrbob]

I forgot the Gears 3 release will probably crash Xbox Live. Birdman we might need to wait on playing our game tonight! Especially since I'll want to play Gears 3 instead.

My copy should be at home since I had release date delivery on it. I'll be home around 9 central/7pm worst coast time.

 

[daw840]

Actually, just sit there and try over and over. It lets me in that way. I just did it like 3 times in a row and it let me into the franchise.

 

[BigAT]

For everyone busting a nut over Tommie Harris, I have Chris Canty (81 OVR DT) available for trade.

[/rorschach]

 

[goldlion054]

God. Damn. It.

This is the perfect time for me too.
