FanSpeak's "Manage The Cap"

Recommended Posts

Not sure if any of you have played on that portion of the site or not, but it's kinda fun and addictive...

After you select your team, you go through your roster and decide who to cut and who to restructure. After that, it lists all of your potential free agents, along with those you chose to cut, and you can make offers to retain them. Next, it takes you to free agency. At the top, it will list your "needs" and your available cap room. Below that, you have two columns: on the left, you have your roster (broken down by position), and on the right, you have all of the free agents (also broken down by position). You can click on each free agent you're interested in and make offers based on yearly dollar amount, amount of years, and percentage guaranteed. Below the players list are two options: skip the rest of free agency and done submitting offers for the day. Once you click "done for the day", it takes you to a screen where it shows which free agents accepted which offers from which teams, with your offered players listed at the top. There are 10 total days of free agency, after that, it's done. 

 

I know this is fake as crap and all for fun, but the team I just made is cracking me up. Give me a few minutes to get it typed up for you guys, and you'll see why... (Hint, it has to do with contracts)

So, my main goal with my CUTS was to get cap space and to ditch the old guys taking up roster spots for no reason. 

My Re-Signed players were without a doubt unrealistic, lol. I got Decker, Marshall, Revis, and Winters to re-sign for like $2M each. All on short term contracts except for Winters, since he is actually useful going forward. I elected to keep Harris because I like him and it was a 1 year deal for dirt cheap. I chose to keep Ijalana simply as developmental depth. 

In Free Agency, I wanted to sign players who could either fill an immediate hole and stay here for years, could help depth for dirt cheap, or I thought may do well in a 1 year "prove-it" type deal. 

I originally wasn't going to sign a big-name DL as it wasn't truly a need. But, after the first 5 days of free agency, I had several guys decline my offers, and I had a ton of money left to spend...so I saw he was available still and figured I'd give it a shot. Ricky Wagner was not my preferred choice for RT, but the other guys were signing for deals higher than I was willing to spend, so I settled. 

Getting Kaepernick for 2 years at like $3M/yr was what made me laugh the most, as I find that to be the most unrealistic signing on my list. Keep in mind, the numbers above are only the guaranteed portion of their salary, not the entire yearly salary.

I don't like him either, but for $3M, I'd take him in a heart beat. All of that post and you're gonna focus on 1 freakin player, good lord...you're a freakin moron, lol. 

You could have posted anything, but once the name Kaepernick appears it's over, non starter, stopped reading the post once I saw his name on the signed list.

I disagree with @Lupz27 in that he pretty much threw the baby out with the bathwater just b/c you had Colin on the team. 

But c'mon dude. You could have made something at least i the ballpark of realistic. I mean it's not even close to anything that would ever happen.

I wasn't making it to be realistic...lol. If I was being realistic, I would've signed 5 or 6 guys that are past their prime to deals that are for double the years they should be and double the price. I.E.: Antonio Cromartie for $8M/yr, Ryan Fitzpatrick for $12M/yr...

If you'd like, I can go and do one like that... I just didn't think anyone on here would be the slightest bit interested in reading a post where we waste all of our money again on crappy players. 

It appears nobody here got the point of my thread, which was simply to point out a fun thing to do on a website where you can literally build the team you want to build...which is what 90% of us are constantly complaining about.  No big deal, just thought someone would be interested.

Ah, I c. 

But YES! Do a realistic one. 

I just did one, wasn't sure how to post it. It looked like a pretty solid squad gong forward. I wasn't sure of how much some of the players in FA would demand, so I gave contracts ranging from 8mil to 12mil per year for some of the high end FAs. 

Most of my big salary Jets were cut and I only re-structured a couple of players.  

A realistic one seems more fun to me. But thanks for clarifying your thread. ^_^

Okay, give me a few minutes and I'll do one based on what I can see this current regime doing this off-season. 

Just to warn you, it won't be pretty, as I believe our front office is about as intelligent as a paperweight. This won't be what I endorse, simply what I can see happening.

That doesn't show years or annual dollars before guaranteed money, which annoys me, but that's about what I see the Jets doing this off-season. In the "CUT" column, a couple of those guys may be traded, but that's not doable on this site, so I put them there so you could see that I expect them gone in one way or another...
