Make sure you are rounding everything to the nearest half star. 

 

Net savings from cuts should be to the nearest half star, for each player you give up in a trade the savings should be rounded to the nearest half star, for each player you acquire the cost should be rounded to the nearest half star. Your values should always be on a .5 star interval.

Nobodys gonna take Fitzgerald. Not with that contract

 

The 9 stars you take on isn't terrible.

His base salary is actually 8 stars.

Who won the SuperBowl I wonder. Some of these new sigs are looking a bit on the tall side so this is a 'heads up' to bring them in compliance with the board standard of :10. Avatars should be no larger than 100x100px and 15KB. Signatures should be no larger than 550x200px and 200KB. That also includes lines of text, thanks and happy drafting!

[Mt. Crushmore]

WR Marques Colston is available via trade.  Has 6 straight seasons over 900 yards receiving with 5+ TDs and 59+ receptions.  It would be 9 straight seasons if not for an injury in the 2008 season that limited him to 11 games.  Very good veteran WR.

REMINDER:

 

According to the rules thread, you must have your SoF's and depth charts posted or your moves will not be made on Monday!

[52520Andrew]

If anyone is struggling with the cap, I am available to help so shoot me a PM if you have any questions.

State of the Franchise Post

There is a separate thread for your state of the franchise.  Please follow the format of the original poster (likely Mt. Crushmore).

 

Make sure and Update this after every transaction.

 

Depth Chart

Simple.  Post your standard depth chart in the thread when it is created.

 

*NOTE:  ALL TEAMS MUST HAVE THEIR CORRECT SoF AND DEPTH CHART POSTED TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY PART OF THE GAME.

 

Right here in fact so Make Sure it is posted before Monday when the threads open

[52520Andrew]

Another thing, some players were added in the last spotrac update it appears so make sure to double check your depth charts in case you are missing someone.

[rmw10]

Here's the Big Board, by the way.  I'll get it up in a thread here when I get approval.  Please make sure these picks are in your SoF's by round, and pick number within the round (i.e. Round 4, Pick 18).

 

The only questionable picks at this point are the Seahawks and Jets situation with Percy Harvin, and obviously those pending the outcome of the SB.

 

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

Great work, as always

Quoting for emphasis. Your moves are not valid unless this is taken care of.

I will also be around to assist with cap stuff this evening, in case Andrew gets too busy. Your starting cap number needs to be sorted as you are not allowed to go over while making a trade.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Only thing is that I have my planned trades and cuts already in my SOF page. I'll get it on time but do I have to do it now to make it official?

Trades don't become official till Monday so you have until then to get it up. I would try to get it out of the way sooner though in case any questions or concerns pop up.

[ClintLB8]

Panthers have officially switched to a 3-4. Once trades have gone through, I will update depth chart. Guys off the market include Charles Johnson, Thomas Davis, DeAngelo Williams, David Foucault, and Wes Horton. Guys still available on the trade block are as follows:

 

Roman Harper SS

Thomas DeCoud FS

Jerricho Cotchery WR

Frank Alexander DE

Mario Addison DE

Nate Chandler OT

Amini Silatolu OG

[CalvinSmoke]

Did my stuff though excel, the update didn't actually affect me luckily. 

[rmw10]

The Big Board thread has been posted as well.  Please update your picks in your SoF's according to the spreadsheet link that I have attached.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

There. Posted my SOF(with the aftermath of some of the trades but none of the official trades yet).

 

Also have my probable cuts. If anyone is interested in any of those players hmu

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Also, Packers offensive philosophy has changed. They will be a run first team now.. Crazy with Aaron Rodgers, but with some of the moves I'm making I want to make the running game more important than it already is. 

[Mt. Crushmore]

Looks like top-tier G Jahri Evans is back on the market.  Send in the offers.

[GrimCoconut]

I've changed my mind on a few of these guys, so here's the updated list in case anyone is wondering:

I'm not trading, under any circumstances regardless of how good the offer is, any of these players: Flacco, Monroe, KO, Zuttah, Yanda, Wagner, Gillmore, Taliaferro, Juszczyk, Urban, Williams, Jernigan, Suggs, Dumervil, Brooks, Jimmy Smith, Mosley

Players I'm very unlikely to trade unless I really like the offer are: Pitta, Marlon Brown, Campanaro, Urschel, Lewis-Moore, Tyson, Arthur Brown, Melvin, Jackson, Upshaw, Elam.

 

It shouldn't be a secret what positions are desired on the team. I am clearly looking at CBs. I don't think that's much of a surprise. I also updated this in my Depth Chart as well, to make it an easier post to reference. 
 

Also, just because I'm unlikely to trade them doesn't mean I wouldn't inquire. I might be open if the deal is good enough. I'm just not actively listening or considering them at this time.

Since when have the Ravens needed a CB?  That was clearly the best position on the team last season.  I mean, just look at the number of people that played there!

We're so good at it, we had safeties playing there. That's how effective we were.

Just to make it fair on opposing teams

Yeah at least give our guys a challenge back there lol

I'm thinking Grim should get rid of Jimmy Smith.  He seems to be the weak link

Not going to happen, although I heard TB has some swamp land to sell you. 

[52520Andrew]

Yeah that Elam guy could easily replace him

[Mt. Crushmore]

I could replace Jimmy.
