Looks like everyone has done this so far, but please list the player's position. That way we know exactly who you are bidding on with all all positions at once. Thanks.

Buffalo Bills

Nate Robinson (CB?)

.5 Stars

Forgot about that. When I heard the news about him doing that I figured may as well sign him in FFA

You lucked out. I remembered I can place Martavis Bryant on the suspended list and keep him off my 90 man roster, at least I am pretty sure I can do that

Yes 

[-Truth-]

I forgot about the start and missed out on Dan Carpenter. Shame. Just as bad, I missed out on James Hurst as well. I wanted to sign him just so I could cut him.

I think everyone here has been a bit too hard on hurst. He's still a young kid and expectations were a bit high. Let's let him sit and develop as a reserve.

Out of his league as a starter, but decent OL 8 or 9 probably. I had him on my list of OT targets, though as a backup option. You did take one of my main targets at OT in Bell.

That's the issue though. He's arguably been given too much playing time thus far, which doesn't speak well for his development. To be blunt, Hurst has some of the worst footwork I've seen thus far on any lineman I've scouted. He routinely turns and runs with edge rushers on outside moves. I may have somewhat of a firmer opinion since I wasn't a fan of him as a prospect, but I doubt many would argue that he hasn't at times at least looked way over his head. I wouldn't want him near my roster.

Unless it was to cut him.

@-Truth-, A.J. Tarpley just retired, so you have an extra roster spot

You may even end up with more FAs than total trades in this game

Fair call. I mean, @Howard you like it if you came back to the forum for the first time in 6 years and found you'd been tagged?

Google brings up a couple of official trailers, so I'm not sure when it'll be released.

It was a decent enough show, but I'm not sure it's worth paying for this time.

Can't delete tags on mobile for some reason(another one for the bug list).

But yeah the e-mail notifications were annoying, you make a fair @pointer
