Transaction Page That Isn't Fully Working Yet (http://www.younglifenorthdekalb.com/newleague/transactionsweekly.php)

[gstelmack]

Well, I got a kicker, a tackle, and a pair of mentors. Woohoo?

[gstelmack]

Heh, and I signed the kicker because Philly ran out of cap room.

No out-and-our rejections, so I'm still in the game on all of my targets. Time to see how many I can still compete on.

[Ben E Lou]

Transaction page fixed. (Withdrawn cap room offers not included yet.)

[MalcPow]

Illegal contract on RB Jimmie Shields. Signed by Tennessee to a 2 yr contract and Shields is in his 2nd year. If others spot guys like this, probably best to note them here.

Edit to add: Looks like Tennessee made the same mistake on center Mack Langdon, another guy in his 2nd year that only received a 2 yr contract.

[gstelmack]

Grrr, far and away the best offer on QB Edward Drummond, and he wants to think about it? This'll be a frustrating stage to review...

[Ben E Lou]

Next stage due tomorrow at 12:30pm EST.

I can run a script later this afternoon and void these. If there are a lot, I'll release a new file and push back tomorrow's deadline.

[gstelmack]

Too many other guys don't realise Philly is out of cap room...

[gstelmack]

Bah. There is no reason I should not have a nearly full roster and be out of cap room. Stupid guys not taking offers that are far and away the best ones they received by an order of magnitude...

[jwolf02]

Phew. That went a lot better than planned. No big losses, few nice guys at decent prices.

[Cringer]

I signed 11 guys, decent start I guess.

[Suicane75]

Scrub city here I come

[MalcPow]

Did a quick spot check and only saw one other illegal signing.

Minnesota: Rookie WLB Jason Lake signed to a 1 yr deal.

Minny and Tenn, can you guys check and change any other offers you have outstanding ahead of the next sim? Gracias.

[QuikSand]

Baltimore is shaping up as an interesting offense. Deep major talent at RB, and basically nothing much in the passing game. Hey, that's like the real Ravens most years!

[zbuckley]

yes sorry didn't mean to do that. he's the only 1 yr deal I offered to anyone with 1-3 years experience.

[Julio Riddols]

I don't think I offered these contracts. I hadn't been able to get a new file in after the original file had the issues it had, so I think all these signings I have are guys I didn't offer. Can i have all my contracts voided and just go from scratch for stage 2?

The only one I would keep would be the QB Hall, who i had made an offer to as i was redoing my export. I was about 90% done, but i had to go to work last night and couldn't finish before that. I think a lot of these deals got assigned to the wrong players after the new file was put out.

[Julio Riddols]

Also: I was offering Hall 7.5 mil a year over 7 years in my new export. So if I was to keep him, if his contract could be redone to match that, I would think that would be fair, considering I got him for 1 million per.

The deal was structured as follows:

Bonus: 31.5 million

3 million per year.

This is up to you, commish, but I don't think we should re run a stage. I wasn't able to get my file in, no biggie.

[Coffee Warlord]

Welll...I got a good punter. :)

[PackerFanatic]

Not bad, 14 guys signed and only 3 rejected offers (although 2 of them were to good WRs that I had hoped to get)

It will be interesting to see the offers I still got out there and what nuts deals other people put out for them :)

Wow, and seeing what Leaskey signed for, I am okay at getting outbid with that.

[Tasan]

Wow, and seeing what Leaskey signed for, I am okay at getting outbid with that.

You're not the only one! :eek:

[Coffee Warlord]

Well, I got a kicker, a tackle, and a pair of mentors. Woohoo?

Heh. I got a WR mentor.

Except I have no WRs for him to mentor.

[Tormaz]

I do believe I read one of our rules wrong. I thought the total salary we could offer a guy in one year was 25million including bonus.

[RipMurdock]

Nothing against PHI, but they're essentially out of cap, as has been pointed out. I'm competing against PHI for 3 players. PHI has offered contracts totaling $35.5 million for those 3 players. Am I correct in saying that those PHI offers will be voided?

BTW, PHI, I like your strategy. Bold.

[MalcPow]

Nothing too exciting for us, still some work to do. We've got our spectaculalrly mediocre DT rotation set though. :)

Well the game will reject them itself when the player makes a decision. The player will then sign the next best offer. Suicane could go in and withdraw those offers, but it doesn't really matter at this point.

[direct.entropy]

I got my QB and I think I landed a top rookie RB and young CB. That's it though... :(.

I lowballed a lot of the players I wanted but all my other offers were right in the ballpark. The next few bidding stages (maybe just the next stage) are going to be crazy and I imagine we'll have some pretty unbalanced rosters by the end of FA2.

[PackerFanatic]

I do believe I read one of our rules wrong. I thought the total salary we could offer a guy in one year was 25million including bonus.

That's what I thought when I first read it too, hence why I asked about it to be sure. Definitely changes your technique :)

[Tormaz]

It isn't a big deal really. The only guy I wanted to offer a max deal to was a QB who is still available so I was able to adjust the offer no problem.

I was shocked to see as many 1 year deals signed/offered as I did.

[johnnyshaka]

Seven signings and we're right in the middle...surprised we signed so few, but I guess we're right where I thought we'd be relative to the rest of the league.

[Coffee Warlord]

Rather pleased, by the by, that I have the beginnings of a halfway decent o-line, at a reasonable price.

[RipMurdock]

Thanks, Malcpow.

[MalcPow]

Dallas, looks like you've got an illegal offer pending on FS Cary Winslett. Try to change that to include a 3rd year in your export for this stage.

New York, you've got an illegal one year offer pending on G Donnie Martinez.

(Not picking on anybody with this stuff, I'm shocked I didn't eff up a few myself. Just trying to note things as I'm seeing them.)

[Coffee Warlord]

Tennessee had a couple bad pending offers that I saw, though I can't remember names now.

[Ben E Lou]

I have contacted Tennessee. They have several illegal pending offers.

[MalcPow]

Yeah, Tennessee looks like they totally missed the rule.

[tarcone]

I got a TE, a WLB, and a young stud at DT. Slow start for the Redskins

[Coffee Warlord]

I'm not entirely pleased with the amount of quality players already inked in my division, I might add. :)

[tarcone]

Did sui realize there is a cap in this league?

[eckman]

Dallas, looks like you've got an illegal offer pending on FS Cary Winslett. Try to change that to include a 3rd year in your export for this stage.

New York, you've got an illegal one year offer pending on G Donnie Martinez.

(Not picking on anybody with this stuff, I'm shocked I didn't eff up a few myself. Just trying to note things as I'm seeing them.)


We fixed the illegal offer to G Donnie Martinez. Thanks for catching that.

[stevew]

5 signings, including punter Dennis Dennis.

Need to ink some guys tomorrow hopefully.

[PackerFanatic]

I'm not entirely pleased with the amount of quality players already inked in my division, I might add. :)

I am! :-D

Well, at least on my team ;)

[Coffee Warlord]

I am! :-D

Well, at least on my team ;)

You do NOT fuck with the best punter in the league, though.

And to top it off, he's kicking in Mile High. Muah. :)

[PackerFanatic]

I think seeing how Philly does this year will be the story of the year :)

[PackerFanatic]

CW, I will just make sure that all your drives end before 4th down then :-D

[Coffee Warlord]

Me too, as a matter of fact. I think a TD every time down the field is a dandy plan.

[PackerFanatic]

Not as many offers for Mankad as I expected - I would imagine that there will be a few more next stage, now that people see the bar.

[johnnyshaka]

Me too, as a matter of fact. I think a TD every time down the field is a dandy plan.

That's one way to avoid the wrath of the league's best punter!!!

[Passacaglia]

Suicane is giving me HFL flashbacks.

[Passacaglia]

Anyway, I brought in 6 players at Detroit, two of them at QB. 12th year man Corwin Rubin is the starter now, and rookie Joel Herndon will hopefully be waiting in the wings when he retires.

[Uncle Chop Chop]

This sucks, made some good offers and only got 1 signing.

[FBPro]

Yeah, realized about the 1-3 rule AFTER I sent in my export, sorry....should be legal now. 1 "legal" signing D-end with some sack power.

[RedKingGold]

I have no idea what I'm going to do for tomorrow.

I hate you all.

:D

[Julio Riddols]

Just spent 7 hours on my new export. it should be good.

[Coffee Warlord]

Just spent 7 hours on my new export. it should be good.

So we should expect a good 20 signings and all your cap room gone too? :)

[MalcPow]

Yeah, realized about the 1-3 rule AFTER I sent in my export, sorry....should be legal now. 1 "legal" signing D-end with some sack power.

That DE may end up being the best value of the entire free for all. Guy looks like a total stud and you got him for peanuts.

[jwolf02]

That DE may end up being the best value of the entire free for all. Guy looks like a total stud and you got him for peanuts.

By FAR. I did a triple take when I saw that deal.

[SegRat]

I was suprised with only 2 signings in Seattle. Spent a decent amount of time tonight on the next export. Hopefully we will be rewarded for our work.

[Ben E Lou]

That DE may end up being the best value of the entire free for all. Guy looks like a total stud and you got him for peanuts.

Perhaps. But QB Joseph Money definitely caught my eye. I had him at 18/53 not on my roster. He was drafted in round 4 (meaning his bars weren't all that high), and has 53 future and only 18 current at this juncture in his career. I tend to suspect that guy is either holding his ratings, or (hopefully) going up. (He also went down a point when he showed up on my roster.)

If, as I suspect, the QB that Quik, RKG and I have identical offers in on signs with SF (Wants Winner ftw), I'm thinking that we'll just get a mentor, give the ball to Money, and see what he can do with it.

[QuikSand]

If, as I suspect, the QB that Quik, RKG and I have identical offers in on signs with SF (Wants Winner ftw)

*sigh*

Level playing fields rarely are.

*shurg*

[RedKingGold]

I wonder how much "wants winner" will really have an effect.

I figure that who Becker signs with will be decided purely by coin-flip.

[direct.entropy]

Mmmph. I think this is going pretty well. I'm really stoked that I got such a top CB prospect in FA2:1.

And I got the QB that I wanted all along at a cheap price. I see some interesting strategies but Philly really over valued players.

Anyway, can't wait for this sim. ;)

[Tasan]

While this stage was more fun, it was still a load of work. Good luck to everyone who's not bidding on my guys!

[Coffee Warlord]

Still short one with 15 minutes before the deadline.

[johnnyshaka]

Yikes...this stage could be even more important than the first...hopefully the Raiders git 'er done.

[Coffee Warlord]

There he goes. Rock.

[allpro10050]

*phew* cut it real close with that one

[Ben E Lou]

*phew* cut it real close with that oneYou can always PM or IM if you need a small delay to finish an export.

[johnnyshaka]

*phew* cut it real close with that one

Atta boy!!!
