All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

I just messed with my roster for a bit and came up with a depth chart of guys I KNOW I am keeping. There maybe some additions of a a few guys I consider to be pending.
I came out at about 45.4M for 31 players.
I am not sure how contracts and FA are going to play out but is 40M enough for the offseason?
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
well i have been thinking about this myself. This cap is going to be a lot tougher then most think.
IF its under 4 years they get 1 mil raise per season, but if the contract is over 4 seasons its 1.5 million.
So if you got a guy for 100K last season and extend him 4 seasons. Next season his salary is 1.6 Mil. So best case if you have 35 players at 100K that comes out to 56 mil. Add in your franchise player and your at 66 Mil.
Some one should create a spread sheet or something. I am friggin clueless.

4 years or under = 1 Mil per season (100K, 1.1mil, 2.1 Mil, 3.1 Mil)
5 years or more = 1.5 Mil per season (100K 1.6 Mil, 3.1 Mil, 4.6Mil...etc)
Which means the primary players everyone will keep will be 500K-100K players. And that almost all players selected in rounds 1-6 will be FA. Most people will only be able to keep 1 MAYBE 2 of their 3Mil or better players.
so the first pick in the stocking draft is 10 million too?

I probably wont make an aquisition until the 10th round or so.

I may have to bow out of this league, as this was not what I intended to happen. If I have to give back 5 or 6 of my top players, then last year was for nothing. I sent a PM to Eb and once he gets back, I'll discuss it w/ him.
This is why I feel if you have to increase salaries $1 mil a year if you sign players to long term contracts that the salary cap must increase each year otherwise we have to sign a bunch of 1 year contracts or keep a few players long term which really isnt realistic I guess we really didnt understand this in the inaugraul draft or otherwise alot of us would have been wiser in that draft

rich you can expose your players to the FA draft and bring them back at lower prices, trust me Daunte Culpepper will not be paid $10 mil next year but I would consider bringin him back for a lower amt
I tend to agree with the general concensus. Increasing salaries by 1 million is a bit much. My whole point of drafting a bunch of later round guys was so they'd be cheap down the road. However, a 100K guy's salary is 1.1 million next year, which is ridiculous. I think the salary increases need to be adjusted somehow.
