Re: 2006 FA Draft Peanut Gallery
I'm not sure any are, honestly, not by the rankings anyways. The FA market in BZFL is thin.

Which surprises me. I expected a lot more cuts, honestly."'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"

I agree, the only problem being...owners jumping the gun. Then you have to jump the gun just to fill a short term need.Originally posted by Forward_LateralComment

Re: 2006 FA Draft Peanut Gallery
I suspect that as time goes on there will be more premium players available. the one league i was in for a few years always had a 10 and a couple of 9s available. 8s were common and 7s were very common...then again, i was not in that league at it's start.

Re: 2006 FA Draft Peanut Gallery
Mikey, I gotta tell ya I have mixed emotions about losing Spikes. He was the first draft pick in KC's history and was a hell of a player for us last year. The injury was just too much for us. With Colvin, Tatupu, and Merriman at LB he was expendable. The Super Deuces franchise thanks TKO for his great work here in KC and wish him nothing but the best in the future. Shawne Merriman was quoted as saying, "TKO taught me a lot here in my 1 year with him, I will miss the big guy. Now it is time for me to wreak havoc like he used to do in Arrowhead and I won't let him down."

Re: 2006 FA Draft Peanut Gallery
I'm wondering if people having this "extra" money to spend on players who aren't really "worth" that much means that the cap is really too high..."'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'.

Re: 2006 FA Draft Peanut Gallery
That's what worries me. The future salaries are going to kill some teams, like me. out of curiousity tho...i know you said I can eat some of the latter years of a contract now...if I do that, does it stop me from keeping that player when their contract expires?Originally posted by Ebenezer

Re: 2006 FA Draft Peanut Gallery
I think the real reason is everyone went into FA with at least $20 mil to spend, some people have decided to ry to wait and pay players what they think they are really worth, others have figured why not rent them for a year and go from there.
If there is one reason people are overpaying is these are all 1 year audition contracts, if people where locked into signng all FA drafted to long term contracts there nay have been no FA drafted at this point.
Since it is all make belive money its not like you are going to gain interest in the money you save or beable to invest it other ares so my belief is why not spend it, but I spent my money on guys who played all 16 games, spending FA money on guys who will miss significant time this year and then if they do perform in the NFL you have to retain at that price is more risky than gutting your current team to acquire a player of similar capabilities.
The players I have drafted are all under 28 and the 2 in the first rd where ranked as a 9 last year if they both return to form paying them $10 mil each is not a stretch by any meansComment

Re: 2006 FA Draft Peanut Gallery
you can shave years and take the salcap penalty....but if you do that then why would you sign them again later - you would just be spending that money twice??Originally posted by Mikey82
