I won't lie in that I'm already second guessing my selections and possibly wishing I could have a do-over.

Well, not much is actually going to happen until the teams are set and we can actually start posting discussion "within the rules".

Yeah we can't discuss trades yet until the teams are at least selected so not much to talk about otherwise. 

One thing we can do is to make sure the salary cap info is ready to go

[52520Andrew]

Got my cap all figured out here, if anyone needs any help, this is a good template to go off of. I made mine in Google Sheets but Excel or any place like that works pretty well. All this stuff should be listed in your SOF(State Of the Franchise) post once those are available for posting.

 

Totals	Players				52
	Top 51 Salaries				$148,064,822
	Dead Money				$765,187
	Rollover	$3,000,325		Total Spent	$148,830,009
	Steelers New Cap	$157,000,325			$157,000,325
	Steelers Cap Space				$8,170,316
	Rounded Total				8.0 Stars

I might have to delay my Cap information as the new contract numbers of Celek, Lane Johnson and Vinny Curry are not public/available on spotrac.

That is fine, Spotrac still has to update I think anyways so we may be waiting around a bit on that. I just wanted to put this out there to give people an idea of what to do.

[ClintLB8]

I didn't realize just how much cap space I could create. I could end up with over 100 stars.

Which is a good idea. 

Just wanted to throw it out there to you Cocos so you guys are in the know that my numbers might take some time to arrive

You Sir have one of the Best Teams. Virtually millions of cap space and millions of draft picks and early

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Excited to grab the Bungles. Wasn't expecting them to be there. 

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Also whatever happened to signatures?

And possibly even more when your players unexpectedly retire...

This sucks. My computer doesn't load everything on this message board anymore. Every other website works fine. I can barely sift through and read stuff on here. Anyone know anything I can try to do?

 

Which internet browser are you using?

Basketball has zero to do with this. Images and all posted. Hard to determine what's relevant and not. Last year it got to the point I actually started skipping certain posters posts because 90% of their post weren't relevant.

Right, guess we can't make jokes about Westbrook in effort to summon someone and should only post in this thread when it is relevant to you.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Selections have really slowed down here at the end.

I'm not saying it does or doesn't belong, but again, we haven't even got all of our teams. There isn't going to be much relevant discussion outside of people saying so and is up. 

 

A lot of those basketball pictures were a jab at Gabe to try to get him to log on and be funny when he did. 

[ClintLB8]

@berad I've tried both Chrome and Internet Explorer. Both do the same thing.

[hawkprey]

So what happens after the 31st selection? Or do we actually have to wait for #32 to "select"?

Weird. I can direct you to the 'bug list' which the Admins and Infor (company that runs the boards) are monitoring. You can try to see if anyone else has had your issue or post what's happening.

 

 

[CalvinSmoke]

Every year... It gets so crabby in here. Pun intended.

Yeah the new update has really slowed mobile down for me. Hate how every new update needs to take up more data on everything, just weighs stuff down.

Not to mention getting like 20 email notifications a day for private messages that the administrators still won't let us disable.
