So does everyone else. Why should I keep guys who have are career inactives?

I need to fill about 20 roster spots, but between FA and draft it shouldnt be an issue.

Your gonna have a lot of roster spots to fill...

He can always re-sign them. I'm sure they will come at the same price.

What was the Franchise Tag number for him? I'll make a run at him but I won't over pay for him. I have my limits on the players I want.

I had to pay him like 15M because of his ridiculous rookie contract.

That's how it'll go IRL, so at least the mock will be realistic in that respect. From what I've been seeing, his injury issues may be more severe than we know. He's been nursing a lot of minor stuff the last few seasons before the torn triceps and down year this season.

A lot of you are freeing up insane amounts of cap space in order to get into bidding wars with each other which will lead to overpaying for players by default. I assume most of your empty roster spots will be filled via FA so you're essentially building your team out of FA which is basically what the Eagles did with their defense.

Not the mighty redskins ha..
My only goal is to make the team better "realistically"

Probably need to do one more trade and then I'm set for a few small FA moves and the draft

Well, it was kind of the hand I was dealt. I have made some extra cap room, but only by cutting players that deserved to be cut. I didnt cut anyone that was worth what they were being paid just to make room. I only made a couple trades, and they all make perfect sense for what I am trying to do. I also have a good number of draft picks to work with so I am not simply focusing on Free Agency.
