How do we spend remainder of stars after FFA is over?

I suspect we only get the satisfaction of knowing there's a rollover for future years.

[ludy51]

But he would have looked good as my #6 RB!

Or my #10!

[ludy51]

Who do I mail for the cary williams final bids?

[Mt. Crushmore]

Other than a trade, there is no other way for cap.  Think of it as rollover for next year and teams like going into the year with some cap flexibility.

Me.  I already have the Bengals bid.

Well, may as well give all that to my better half for a shopping spree of her life!

"Here darling, have five stars to go pamper yourself".

 

I can see that going down well.

Also, are we doing the Draft a Franchise this year? When does registration open?

Transfer them to your bank account

[Ozzsome]

I wonder if Ozzsome bid on enough guys or not

 

I may need some more guys... At least I still got UDFA

I overspent on Williams at 6.5 buy then again I don't have anything else to use my remaining cap on.

[rmw10]

And an unconditional surrender from the Bengals when I play them.

Great. Now since it's an unconditional surrender, I decree you send me AJ Green and next year's first rounder for my 7th round pick. And that you cut Drew Brees from your roster

 

You're up in UDFA.

[allblackraven]

I can't wait round 10 of the UDFA to make some serious damage with a No1 pick.

You're gonna knock em dead

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

That's a good note for me to end on.

Draft started after the real draft last year, still time left.

Really?

[allblackraven]

Really?

 

Yes, couple days after the draft weekend. Draft happened 2 weeks later than it would this year, too.

After the NFL Draft

[Mt. Crushmore]

I signed 21 players in FFA.  Only one over 0.5 stars is FB Mike Tolbert (2 stars).  I didn't have a FB on my roster, so I'm very happy to add him to the Saints.  Makes Sean Payton love my ground attack even more, as he has at least 5 options to run with.

I think you need to sign some more players.

[rmw10]

My top 4 WRs are now Anquan Boldin, Mike Wallace, Amari Cooper, and Harry Douglas.  Not bad.

[rmw10]

11.5 to be exactly

 

You're up in UDFA.

And now you're up.

Still have 4 roster spots I believe.  Working on updating my SoF and depth chart now to confirm.

I'm down to 6, which means 2 more rounds of UDFA for me and I'm done.

Just finished an I officially have 4.  So, 2 rounds left for me.  Unfortunately, this means I miss out on being #1 in Round 8.

[Mt. Crushmore]

I signed the NFL's highest paid player at a position to a contract worth just 0.5 stars!  Yes the player is Beau Brinkley and he is a long snapper, but he is the highest paid in real life ($1.15 million per year)!

Defense

  I believe, defense wins championships. While this defense isn't elite. I did improve my front seven. Which was much needed. Losing Mike Daniels stings, but acquiring Ngata, and Demarcus Ware helps ease the pain. Plus, Datone Jones is a good pass rusher in his own right. I got older at NT, but Bunkley does solidify the run defense. Brinkley is also a very good run defender in his own right. I'm not saying you cannot run on me. But it's certainly a lot more difficult than before thanks to the acquisitions via free agency and trade.  And pass rushing wise, I have Clay Matthews and Demarcus freaking Ware. I can get to the QB.  The secondary, outside of losing Tramon Williams, didn't change too much and that is fine. I still have a good starting three at corner. Which was a top ten ranked pass defense anyway. Overall, my defense while not elite in any category is rock solid throughout, and will be a difficult one to score on.  Perryman should be a day one starter. He''s very instinctual and is a good tackler. Small? Sure, but big heart. And a leader I could use. McCarthy is a developmental NT. Won't play much this year, but will in a few years. 

 

 

Offense... 
Offensive line mostly the same. Downgrade at RT, but not one that'll kill me. Combine that with the best QB in the NFL, a top 5 running back with a Giovani Bernard , and that's a good offense within itself.... Oh, and Brandon Marshall, Randal Cobb, and Jordy Nelson is probably the best WR corps in this game.. Add in Jesse James who I think can be a good TE, and if he fails I think Wes Saxton is a poor man's Pitta. I can run up the score if I need too.

 

I like my team. Wish I could've done more with my defense, but otherwise it's very good.
