Ya I get what you guys are saying, I apologize ill get a little more patient with this thing. Just super frustrating

Oh yeah...I will throw a 2yo-style epic fit when I think I've finally landed my player I really want and someone bumps me with 1 hour left and I've spent all the money I'd need to try again.

My boat is the same year, model, HP and color. Instead of the upgraded Brady stereo system, I got the older Manning type.

That's the spirit!

1 hour left on Sherman :titus:

I think I've probably screwed up with mine.

My goal was overall efficiency. I crunched the hell out of some numbers, figured out when certain players would be FAs, how long I wanted others and how to structure contracts to keep their costs as low as possible over that 4-10 year period that I wanted to keep guys. I then moved things around wherever possible to ensure I didn't have too many FAs that I wanted long term in any given year.

I gave Rodgers a 3 yr deal with the intention of giving him a 5 year deal after those 3 in order to keep his price more manageable as well; that 7 year deal to a QB was just brutal.

But unfortunately, I think I've ended up in that hellish middle; not enough FA money to really matter, but I've also not freed up shitloads of cap space for any given year.

All I've really done is make sure that I shouldn't ever really have to worry about getting my draft picks signed and could be able to make an over-market bid on a mid-tier FA every year or two.

As I've seen this unfold, I think I'd have just preferred to frontload my deals and see how things look in 3 years.

The only thing that bothers me about this free agency is when you have made a bid, then someone waits until the time is almost up and make a bid $1 higher. You have been waiting almost 3 days, then someone scoops in at the last second, and starts the time all over for $1. Ughhh, I know its their money to use how they please, but that just seems disrespectful. At least make it a nice round number. That's all I got.
On another note, once I land Chris Harris Jr, I may have the sickest group of cornerbacks in the league.

(runs off to up the Harris Jr. bid by $1)

Ok...I managed to get up over 53 players on the roster, I know rain main asked about it before when I was asking what would happen. I was at 52, and had 4 players bid on that were close together in time. The first two have gone through, and oddly one of them is on my roster even though there is an hour left on the bid.

I'll cut some players once it is time to bid some more, but wanted to mention it since we talked about it before.

Wait, what? He's on your roster and is still in the free agent bidding pool?

Oh, and thanks for the update.

From bidding:

D.J. Smith ILB Topeka Tyrannicide 10 0:00:59
David Carter NT Topeka Tyrannicide 10 0:00:59
Demorrio Williams ILB Topeka Tyrannicide 1
Steven Hauschka K Topeka Tyrannicide 1

On roster:
A.J. Hawk ILB 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
D.J. Smith ILB 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Demorrio Williams ILB 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

Just to confirm, are you sure he wasn't on your roster before and you coincidentally pursued him? We've had a couple of instances of that, but we haven't had an instance yet of a guy getting assigned early. That's weird.

Please teach me. This is the only way I'm landing any decent FA's.

Thank you. After further evaluation, my CB crew was already solid with Cortland Finnegan, Cary Williams and my 1st rounder Morris Claiborne. I bid too much for Harris Jr, a position I was already solid at, and was looking for a way out. Now not only do I have my money back, but someone else just coughed up some major dough. Hook, line, and sinker.

LOL...wasn't me.
