2017 Forum Mock: Discussion Thread

[Giants56Ravens52]

Looks like I cannot update my SoF until I'm home from work tonight. Firewall on my work computer doesn't allow google docs.   

 

I'll try to update the list here in the forum though.  Quick couple questions:

Do I include free agents such as Timmons on my depth chart? Or just ERFAs like Villanueva, and someone I would intend on Franchising?

Are all non RFAs and ERFAs essentially Free Agents for all at this point, or is there any way to re-sign guys?

 

Also, what about Martavis Bryant since he is likely to be reinstated? He would then be under contract with Steelers, no?

 

Sorry if anything like this has been covered already, I'm at work on lunch break so I don't have a ton of time to look through.

Only anyone you currently have under contract.

Yes, everyone else is a free agent.  We'd love to find a way to allow teams to re-sign their own guys, but that's a near impossibility in our current format.  If anyone can come up with a fair and equitable process, we're all ears.

Did Dion Jordan (DE, Miami Dolphins) sign a new contract? 
He was listed as free agent on Sportac, but also as active on the roster (included in the Total Cap).
I am not sure, if he is on the roster or free agent. 

He is also listed as free agent in the Forum Mock Free Agents Sheet

By the way, just a quick heads up, on the SoF sheet, make sure that you're calculating the total number of players by adding all of your active contracts, including the ERFAs, RFAs (After the bidding is done), any other additions and the amount of draft picks that you have coming up. The more players you have, the more you're likely to have saved. Also, make sure that this figure is constantly updated.

If we figure this out, we might as well start our own league to compete with the NFL.

So to be clear, there's no official SoF post like we've done in the past? We're just updating it in the google doc? I sent one of the commish's my email for when they have a chance to add me

You do. The CoCo has access to every page so that we can double check the numbers whenever needed, and make changes to formulas or the format if there are any errors.

[jazz1988]

I have to do my depth chart later on today or tonight but how do I put in my information concerning my sof?

Awh didn't think I could edit every page though. Just thought I'd be able to look at them. No worries

My bad.  I had so many PMs this morning that I forgot to let people know that Truth was adding and sending out the link.

ok then, I wish it weren't the Cowboys but I'll take care of the free agency stuff in a couple hours. I hate the Cowboys but I'll take them over the Pats or Steelers I suppose.

Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any questions.  You haven't missed much so far which is good, but still a few things to catch you up on.

If there's anything that I need to know already, just go ahead and PM me or even just go ahead and tell me here, I'm going to be jumping off the computer here in a couple minutes again so I'm not going to be catching myself up on everything for a couple hours when I get back home.

[RavensFanMania]

I'll be out of town through Friday night and will have limited access to the site.   If anyone is interested in any Seattle Seahawk players, please review my depth chart.

@arnie_uk FYI... Cousins is going to cost 26 stars since this will be the 2nd straight year he's tagged.  Gets that 20% increase.

If I'm actively shopping a player with a 8m cap hit and 6m dead money, how do I advertise his would-be cap hit in stars?

Just gathered that. Bloody hell. Didn't realise he was under the tag last yr. Wish I picked the jets now.

Whatever the base salary is goes to the other team.

2 stars saved and if it was 6m cap it and 8m dead money than you would lose 2 stars

no, he just didn't want the Jets at all.  The Skins atleast have the cap space and 10 draft picks
