evo shift, yeah, never takes me that many tries.
Clearly I don't have my 360 with me or I wouldn't be worried about missing the draft.
I forget when did I get rid of Woodson?
Holy shit I was able to resign every player I wanted. That ARod deal was the best ever!
I just meant I didn't know if the online franchise is the spot I should be looking because I don't have any idea if that info is correct or not

I'm really glad Dhani Jones didn't retire, guy's been solid and I have to let Dansby go. Wonder what he goes for in FA, I feel like he is better than his old man ratings. His stats definitely are.

Remember, you need about 10 mil to sign rookies.
So what do I do? Drop some players? Is there a penalty for dropping players?

Yup, I want to say 20% of his salary. I forget exactly how it works and no1 will answer me.

I'm still paying for missing the first draft with Rolle.
Im not seeing it in the app store.

Today the Washington Redskins announced a number of changes to their roster, continuing their efforts to build a core of young talent.
HB Steve Slaton, LG Maurice Hurt, K Graham Gano, MLB Stephen Cooper, QB Peter Tanico, FB Darrel Young, C Eric Cook, CB Leigh Bodden and WR Terrence Austin were released. Longtime Redskin and fan favorite Santana Moss was also let go.
The team could not come to terms on a new long-term deal with CB Josh Wilson and declined to use the franchise tag, instead allowing him to test free agency.
Key re-signings:
ROLB Brian Orakpo 5y $5.3 mil/year ($200k bonus), $5.5 mil guaranteed
MLB Rocky McIntosh 2y $3.7 mil/year ($250k bonus), $3.9 mil guaranteed
TE Chris Cooley 2y $4.1 mil/year ($300k bonus), $4.4 mil guaranteed
K Dave Rayner 1 yr $460k guaranteed
SS DeJon Gomes 5 yr $2.2 mil/year ($250k bonus), $2.5 mil guaranteed

Ike Swagg Taylor is on the block!
So, AT it's showing Eli as having no contract, how can you trade him to me if he's a FA?
85+
So how many players do we need on our rosters?
Also in the Myleaguemanager contract year players thing it says a lot of these players have 1 year left and the rest say 0, so do I only have to re-sign the ones with 0?
Sorry for all the dumb questions but I don't want to screw this up

I have LT Trent Williams (84).
I'm on a mission to add another terrapin to my team.
I hate how progression works.
50-55
In the real NFL it's 53, with 45 active on gameday, and of the remaining 8 one guy is designated as the emergency QB. Each NFL team also has a practice squad of 8 guys. For our league I think the minimum was set at 50 players, maximum at 55? FMT/Luke correct me if I'm wrong.
Please do, I'd rather see him go to a Skins fan. Just couldn't fit him in thanks to not being able to restructure Trent Williams/Stephen Bowen/Barry Cofield's ridiculous contracts.
BTW it's hilarious how we let a team with 38 players worth $130 million win 2 SuperBowls (and appear in 3 straight), when the rest of us are struggling to put together 50+ players with the same amount of money. Lessons learned for next season I guess. smh
Due to terrible team management, the Steelers have had to let go of two superstars today.
The Steelers have traded Ben Roethlisberger to the Giants for Eli Manning, saving them about 9 mil in cap space this season. The Steelers have also traded Lamarr Woodley to the Falcons for Sean Weatherspoon and the Falcons 2nd round draft pick, saving about another 9 mil in cap space.
The Steelers are not done with their rebuilding process, as they are still trying to find a team for Ike Taylor, and are considering offers on Head & Shoulders pitch man Troy P.
Livewire, you mention not being able to restructure your contracts, ever think that hinders anyone else? How about having to pay Antonio Brown the same amount as Mike Wallace, despite their being a 10 point OVR difference in their ratings? Should I have just cut my entire team because they were all asking for unrealistic numbers?
I'm gutting my team this season, and I guarantee I'll still have a better record than you. You got Peyton Manning and still sucked, I could give you my exact team of 38 players and you'd probably still struggle to crack .500.

You want AP? Give me Troy P. and Mendenhall lololol
Everyone! No, actually I completely forgot about it. They were pretty basic trades though, not like I was offering my backup LBs for Fitz.
Does anyone have a problem with those trades? If I can't trade them, then I just have to cut them I guess. I'm trying to do this in a legit manner instead of just cutting everyone with no penalty like you suggested.
I would do this.
I don't talk to teams who don't make the playoffs, so you must have me mistaken with someone else.
Makes it almost impossible to build a great team by playing well. And it's not like they are C potential but I guess I'm asking for too much. :/

Anyone want TE Anthony Fasano 2 years @ 4M (83)?
The Miami Dolphins are open to all types of trades, trying to free up some cap space.
Highest pick offered gets him

I totally agree. They haven't touched it in three years (who am I kidding, they havent touched anything OF). I remember in Madden 10, I had a 65 rated MLB with B potential absolutely TEAR it up. He had around 11 ints and 6 sacks or something. He didn't go up at all and he was 22 years old. It should factor in stats, dammit.
None of my players have ever been nor ever will be as overrated/powerful as players on the Steelers D (except maybe LaRon Landry).
Apparently restructuring didn't hinder everyone else: BigAT signing Eli to a ridiculously cheap deal is one example. You could have cut certain players and taken cap penalties that may have hurt in one season but over 3 would've freed up a ton of money for you to keep the real core talent that you needed. Or you could have traded talent for cap relief (like others did), or simply let them walk in free agency (like others did). As far as I can tell from having 38 players taking up 99% of the league mandated salary cap, you didn't make any effort at all.

hard to put manual effort into something when you've been so used to tiburon helping you out
But he was forced to take on all those contracts by the real Steelers. It's not like he had 3 offseasons to adjust.
Yea it seems so hit or miss sometimes. Anthony Armstrong went from mid 70s in Season 1 to 87 this season, through a long process of taking over as #1 from Santana Moss and having great stats. Yet Cobie Ross had average/below-average stats for a RB and after 2 seasons is now 96. Both guys are A POT.
or to realize he only had 30 players on his team
i give credit to twinhead sure knows how to game the system
This is why I pointed out Trent Williams, Stephen Bowen and Barry Cofield. Three real-life Bruce Allen/Mike Shanahan signings that I had to deal with... I bitch about them, but I dealt with it, and lost a solid #2 CB (maybe even #1 on some teams). I also can't restructure Peyton's contract of $19 million this season, though in the real NFL it could easily be restructured. Again, I'm dealing with it. Ramirez hasn't. But I guess that's OK cause he's elite on the sticks and I suck! :jnc
This is probably the biggest bummer since it was a blatant move to cheat
