2015 Forum Mock: Announcement/Discussion Thread

[ravensnick]

Chris Myers is also available. Looking for possible trades for CBs and WRs. 

[GrimCoconut]

I wish I could afford Andre Johnson, but not at 10 Stars.   Correction: 10.5 Stars

[52520Andrew]

Yeah no way I can pay that much for him, there are teams out there though with room I am sure

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Yeah, I got the room. I just don't want to haha

[JO_75]

I got the room too but I have to pay Russell Wilson still and see if my free agency plans work.

Is Wilson a FA? I don't think you have to pay him at all

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Don't think so.

All I can say is thank god Rodgers is on the cheap part of his deal

[JO_75]

Nope, he's not. Just trying to keep it real haha. 

[52520Andrew]

Because you're under 51 players, those guys will end up adding salary once the figures get updated.  When will that be?  No idea.  I wouldn't stress is too much though.  They are all probably 0.5 star players and if you cut them before updates, it would just be presented as 0 cap savings for you since they aren't included in the first place.

 

The figures for the blank names have now been updated on spotrac so now may be a good time to take a look at what your cap looks like and updating it. 

 

And I have now lost 4 stars in cap space and am now 3 stars over

[Mt. Crushmore]

Why thank you spotrac for taking away another 3.5 stars from me.  Only negative 27 stars to start 

[52520Andrew]

Yeah I am not happy either, I don't think this helps anyone but we can always cut those players anyways. Grim won't be happy either...

[52520Andrew]

Watching cap space disappear for a lot of teams right now.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Still have 9.5 Stars after the trades.. So I'm ok haha

[CalvinSmoke]

Is it not top 51 anymore. We counting everyone?

[52520Andrew]

Top 51 still in effect but almost all of the names have salaries attached to them now which can have a very large impact depending on the cap situation.

[ludy51]

does anyone have a way of speeding up finding the active contract totals. Don't want to add up 51 different contracts.

[rmw10]

Count your number of players total.  Take the total active contracts number given to you by Spotrac and subtract salaries 52+ from that number.

Bottom of the sportrac page for me

[rmw10]

I actually managed to gain 0.5 stars after this update.  Phew!

[Mt. Crushmore]

I actually managed to gain 0.5 stars after this update. Phew!

I hate you

Dead Cap: $73,451,876

 

I would hope you don't have that much dead money...

 

Bills dead money is $5,468,743 which can be found at the very bottom of this page under 2015 cap totals

lol yeah. i checked everyone else's and went back to look. fixed it now though

[rmw10]

For those that have updated your SoF's after the update today, did your 2014 carryover change at all?  I remember having an update to that last year that gave me an additional 11-12 stars or something like that.  I'm curious to see if that happened.

I just did mine so i dont know if there was any difference

Reserved for bills

 

Can you delete this extra post in the SoF thread?  It is no longer needed as you just posted you SoF at the end.  It would help streamline that thread.  Thanks.

 

NFL Draft:  5.5 Stars Allocated  

 

Round 2,

Round 3, 

Round 4, 

Round 5, 

Round 6,

Round 7,

 

Your draft allocation is 3.5 stars.  5.5 stars is for a full draft.  You are minus a 1st round pick which is worth 2 stars.

Nope.  Still a measly 0.5 stars

Don't worry, it is some tough stuff, more just using you as an example here since you are working on it right now and I am sure others will have similar questions.

[Elmo]

Looks like a 100 k change for me, that equals no stars of change...

By the way...

Does anybody know if Ricky Heimuli and Ricky Havili-Heimuli is the same player or 2 different players.

They are listed with equal Measurements and from Oregon, where I can find reference, but have no idea
