RFA Phase 2

The following posts will contain a list of all RFAs, sorted by team, that were offered tenders by their team during the first phase. Each player will have in parenthesis the draft pick compensation required to sign (not simply offer but actually sign) them as well as the default deal that they are looking for to the side.

In order to even submit an offer to a player, you must have the draft picks on hand. Early has the NFL Draft order, which includes any draft pick ownership changes based on previous trades. There have been a few trades since, so keep those in mind for those affected. You should also keep in mind that if you own multiple picks in a round, signing an RFA will have you lose the worst of how ever many picks you have. For example, let's say the Orcas try to sign Bengals DE Ezekiel Ansah. They own the 10th and 11th picks in the 2nd round. Should Ansah accept their offer and the Bengals elect not to match their offer in the third phase, the Orcas will end up giving the Bengals the 11th pick in the 2nd round (43rd overall).

Going back to the deals in question, these deals are for the other 31 teams in the league. The team who first offered the tender is stuck with the 1 year deal unless a team submits an offer during this phase. You can also offer them a long term deal later on in the offseason as well as any time during the pre, regular, and postseason, but what's important right now is that you understand that you can do nothing about your own RFAs at this moment.

If you do wish to submit an offer to an RFA from another team, the deal mentioned is not the exact deal that you have to offer them. You are free to mess with the years, total money, and/or guaranteed money. As a word of caution though, unless you are trying some bizarre psychological attack to where you offer a deal that would devastate a team financially but would be practically forced to accept, you will want to submit an offer that would ultimately net you the player you seek. Not only that, but you are in essence competing with 30 other teams for the right to simply sign an RFA. If you skimp out on any combination of years, total money, and guaranteed money, you are decreasing, sometimes substantially, the odds that you will get the player.

If you do submit a custom offer, use the base deal as a benchmark. Using Bears C Bobby Crosby, he is asking for a 3 / $8.71 mil / $1.62 mil contract. Dividing the latter two figures by the years, you find out that he is asking for an average cap hit of $2.90 mil (8.71 / 3) and annual bonus of $540k mil (1.62 / 3).

I hope that everyone understands the slash line that I explained earlier in the topic, but if not, do not hesitate to ask any questions. You can direct them to me via PM, through the topic, or Discord.

Do not feel compelled to be active in this phase if you don't want to. While most users do not, several do as well as the AI, so it isn't as if nothing happens.

I started up Dishonored 2 earlier. The game doesn't tell you the differences between Emily and Corvo, so I looked online and the latter is the more stealth-oriented of the two, so I went with Corvo to match my playstyle.

All users should have received a PM containing your RFAs. I think every team did receive one, but if you didn't, it is because you have no RFAs this season and thus have nothing to do for the first phase of RFA.

RFA Rules

1. I will privately contact every user and inform them of their RFAs and the tender levels. If you dont have any RFAs, then you wont be notified.

2. Users will have three days to inform me which players they wish to sign and at what level.

3. I will publicly reveal all RFAs from user and A.I. teams that can be signed by other teams (AKA were offered a tender) plus their tender levels and the base kind of deal they are looking for.

4. I will give users five days to decide any action, if any, they wish to take. If they do wish to take further action, they will PM me.

Now by "any action you wish to take," I mean that everyone has an opportunity to attempt to sign RFAs from other teams. You might see some sticker shock but keep in mind that some positions are more expensive (WRs, DTs, QBs) than others (OLBs, Cs, TEs) relative to their overall rating. An 80 WR will usually be more expensive than a 90 C, and that's just how things are

5. If a team attempts to sign another teams RFA, then the user who owns the RFAs rights will have three days to decide whether or not to match the offer.

The deadline for the first phase (encompassing rule #s 1 + 2) will be Friday, April 16th at Noon ET . As always, do not hesitate to ask me any questions.

Restricted Free Agency

This minor but oddly detailed offseason event is for a small subset of players who just completed their untampered rookie contract that was exactly three years in length. These players are not eligible to be originally offered multi-year contracts by the team that holds their rights but instead one-year contracts of fixed figures based on the tender level that you offer them.

Our Tender Levels for this season
No Tender = no potential draft pick compensation = $0
Low Tender = potential original round draft pick compensation = $1.10 mil
Mid Tender = potential 1st round draft pick compensation = $2.39 mil
High Tender = potential 1st + 3rd round draft pick compensation = $3.18 mil

Now, the mentioning of draft pick compensation there is only applicable if another team attempts to sign your player. It has no bearing on this first phase of RFA. It wouldn't make much sense if you had to give up draft picks to sign your own player now would it? Newcomers and people who don't have a good memory are certainly free to ask me what round a player was drafted in if that affects their tender level.

That being said, you might want to keep in mind about that draft pick compensation when you determine what tender to offer your player. If you think highly of your player, you might want to offer the highest tender to deter other teams from attempting to sign them. If you don't consider a player to be a part of your future plans, you might want to offer the low tender so that they barely count against your cap space and you could end up even getting draft pick compensation if someone else wants him.

A word of advice from me: The full monetary amount attached to the tenders is NOT GUARANTEED and in many cases is less than what they would make on the open market, so there is essentially 0 risk to offering all of your players a tender unless you personally hate them with a passion.

You can also engage trade talks with other teams so that you can prearrange a trade that if X player is not signed by another team, you will trade them to Y team for Z compensation that might be lower than what Y team would have had to give up to sign them during RFA. In this scenario, you might want to offer the highest tender level to deter the maximum amount of teams from disrupting the trade.

Another trade

Bears receive:
QB Teddy Bridgewater (90 overall, 26 years old)
Buccaneers S16 7th round pick

Buccaneers receive:
Bears 1st round pick (6th overall)
Bears S16 1st round pick

The Bucs will incur a $6.57 mil cap penalty to shed to $7.96 cap hit

The Bears will assume a $5.77 mil cap hit

The Bears have been searching for a long-term answer at QB after David Carr retired to no avail. In recent seasons, they have shown to not be shy about giving up high draft picks to get great, proven players such as SS Derek Linde and DE Everson Griffen. They don't have much cap space right now, so getting a player of Teddy's caliber at a discount to the cap is also a cost-efficient way to improve the team while pushing for their first playoff appearance.

The Bucs have gone 9-23 the past two seasons even with Teddy, so they figure it is time for a committed rebuild. Given Teddy's performance, age, and rating, he has a high trade value and this trade will give them a great jumpstart on their rebuild by giving them two of the top six picks in the draft and an additional first next season.

Both parties demonstrated that they understood what each party was giving up and receiving, the financial impact, past histories of players, and what each team hoped to achieve with the trade.

This trade is now official.

KCF has beaten Star Fox 64

I decided to knock this out in one sitting (3DS saves after each level).

795 hits, and I believe that my path was Corneria > Sector Y > Katina > Solar > Macbeth > Area 6 > Venom,

I didn't know the D-Pad was used to do U-Turns and other maneuvers, so things got a little frustrating on Venom. Also, Slippy apparently was taken out without indication on Area 6. Peppy and Falco lasted every mission though.

KCF has beaten Yoku's Island Express

I like pinball, so I of course was going to buy a game that incorporated pinball into other genres. The pinball aspect was great. Failure was impossible, and it never got too crazy to where you could always interpret what was happening on screen. I love the supplemental stuff like art direction, sound, music, and other things of that nature. Ultimately, I thought it was a great game, but a disappointing map (there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to zoom in close) and mediocre fast travel caused plenty of issues. It isn't clear where some tunnels and pinball sections lead, and if you make the wrong choice when you are trying to get somewhere in particular, it can potentially take some time before you can get back on track.

And we have our first trade of the offseason

Orcas receive:
Colts 1st round pick (11th overall)
Colts 2nd round pick (43rd overall)
Colts 3rd round pick (75th overall)
Colts S16 7th round pick
Colts S17 7th round pick

Colts receive:
Orcas 3rd round pick (74th overall)
Orcas S16 1st round pick
Orcas S16 4th round pick
Orcas S17 1st round pick

The Orcas are one of the league's most downtrodden franchises. They have one winning record and playoff appearance to their name, and that was in S2. Under new management, they wish to be super aggressive like they were in their last job with the Pioneers and make sweeping changes and set a foundation for future success at the expense of future picks. With two additional Top 45 picks, they can add more young players with great potential in the draft or use them in restricted free agency. With their ample cap space, the added cost won't hinder their ability to add talent in other offseason events. Plus, since they run the draft, being able to pick back-to-back is a welcome opportunity in a hectic event.

The Colts, even with their releases of two overpaid players, have the league's lowest cap space. With a few starters and quality contributors with expired contracts, they could use more cap relief as they look for creative ways to navigate the cap while maintaining their elite defense and look for ways to improve the league's worst offense from last season. Trading away their first and second rounder this season should help them a lot in that department as it nets them two future firsts and an additional Day 2 pick.

Both parties exhibited that they understood what both parties were giving up and receiving and what they each hoped to achieve from the trade.

This trade is now official.

KCF0107 posted...

I originally had a hardline stance of only considering players who debuted in the inaugural season or later and incumbent players whose career stat line showed no production entering the inaugural season (mostly OL). I immediately made one exception to include Tatum Bell who holds the record for most rushing yards in a season and whose stats pre-B8NFLL were clearly laid out and were in line with what I read online. There were only a few other players like Bell that I would have considered to make an exception for, but I have decided to scrap that idea, and will continue with my original thought, so unfortunately players such as Jonathan Vilma and Ian Scott will not be on the ballot.

KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy
If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu

OLB A.J. Hawk - No

Long overlooked on a Raiders stacked LB corps that included the likes of Larry Foote, Zeke Moreno, Karlos Dansby, and David Thornton, Hawk put up some great numbers in their shadows. He was never "the guy" on the Raiders, and he had zero recognition from the league, so he ultimately didn't do enough to separate himself from his peers.

MLB Anthony Schlegel - No

A great starter for one of the league's best defenses over the course of this project, the Broncos Ds were always defined by the DL and DB, so I'm afraid that I have to say no to the former 4th round pick.

FS Tom Zbikowski - Yes

FS might be the weirdest position to evaluate. DB for sure is in general, but FSs always look unimpressive in the stat sheet. Zbikowski though managed to finish near the top among all DBs in major stats, and as I just said, the Broncos have long had one of the league's best Ds, and the DBs played a major role in that. He also started all 192 games in his 12 seasons, and I am always a sucker for that.

SS Keon Jackson - No

With Kiwanuka also retiring, this marks the end of the era from when I drafted for MZero. Drafted in the third round of the same draft (S2) as Kiwanuka (QB Bruce Gradkowski was selected between the two), every member of the Patriots right now came to the team during the Jukkie era with DE Cliff Avril, selected 3rd overall in the S7 draft, now as the longest-tenured Patriot. Anyway, back to Jackson, he was a lot more distruptive than I thought. However, I think that he has a much weaker case than Thomas Davis and Michael Huff from a year ago did, and I voted no to both of them. I'm not seeing anything to make me completely change my evaluation of DB hall cases.

As always, I will publicly reveal my ballot

QB Aaron Rodgers - No

He had an underrated career, but he quickly easily falls short of enshrinement on the virtues of his issues with overall average efficiency and below-average turnover rates. His inclusion on the ballot was more for his counting stats at least making sense to being the first QB to be on the ballot and also because he was the poster child was the wild War years running the Browns. As mentioned, he led the league in passing yards four straight seasons when War decided to air the ball all the time with a WR corps that included Terrell Owens and Steve Smith. He also led the league in INTs for two of those seasons with a combined 55.

HB Darius Walker - Yes

The HBs are all a fascinating case for various reasons. Walker had a YPC between 3.9 and 4.1 for eight of his 11 seasons his peaks in terms of yardage were actually in his first two seasons. However, he amassed almost 16000 total yards in just 11 seasons and more importantly put up a whopping 109 TDs in his career. He did, undeservedly, win a RB of the Year award as well. I never considered him to be an elite HB, but his body of work suggests his career deserves to be in the hall.

HB Jamario Thomas - No

Aspects of his game are very impressive, namely his absurdly low fumble rate and how he ran for at least a 4.2 YPC for six of his 11 seasons. He once led the league in rushing and also has a Comeback Player of the Year award to his name. The constant injuries though really kind of sour things when looking at his year-by-year statlines, with just five of his 11 seasons resulting 1000+ rushing yards, and just two of those five with a 4.2 or greater YPC. He also didn't find the endzone often or carve out a role in the passing game. To his credit, he was clearly vital to the offense, but in a league where we will always have a bunch of HBs on the Hall of Fame ballot, I don't want to say yes to every HB out there he reaches a certain stat threshold, so I'm going to have to say no.

HB DeAngelo Williams - Yes

Okay yes I know that I held Jamario's injuries against him, but DeAngelo was simply a beast He had a 4.3 or greater YPC in nine of his 13 seasons. He had six seasons of 350+ receiving yards. The fumble numbers were inflated due to higher fumbling rates for returners, of which he had more than 300 returns in his career, so his total doesn't bother me much. Another factor was his impact on the team. Much like real life, the Lion's rushing game has arguably been the league's worst when he has missed time. I think Selvin Young in S11 has been the only the time a HB other than Williams has recorded a 4.0 or greater YPC in a season for the Lions, regardless of the amoung of carries. He just always seemed like a special back to me, and his body of work I think is good enough to warrant his inclusion. Plus, how can you say no to his absurdly productive work as a LB when he garnered accolades?

HB Reggie Bush - No

I admit that I didn't think his numbers were quite like that when I went to look at them. However, I do still think that he's the least deserving of the four HB candidates. Unlike DeAngelo, Bush only had a handful of returns in his career, so his fumbling rate definitely raised some eyebrows. The bulk of his work was in Carolina where there was a four-season stretch where he put up 1200+ rushing yards on 4.2+ YPC, but that was the extent of his damage. The rest of his career was defined by ineffectiveness. He just completely disappeared for long stretches of time, including multiple seasons. He had a paltry 54.6 rushing yards per game, and while him being the starter for about 60% of his games did play a role, it is below several other HBs who have started fewer than 50% of their games played, including Knowshon Moreno and Kestahn Moore. It seems weird that I am saying no to someone who had over 15000 total yards and almost 80 TDs in their career, but I don't think there was ever a time when I would rank Bush among the Top 10 HBs in the league. It's possible that I would have said yes to him in another season, but when he's matched up with three other HBs that I think were better and more impactful, it's hard to say yes.

WR Mike Williams - No

I applaud him for his ability to stay healthy until his final season and for playing well for such an up-and-down franchise like the Bengals, but his career YPC is mediocre, and his averaged less than 5 TDs a season. He had one 1000 yard season. Nothing about him screams exciting or elite. Nice career all things considered, but he's not a Hall of Famer.

G Jake Grove - Yes

He has a great ratio for an interior OL, he has high block totals, he has been decorated, and he missed just two games in his career. Everybody would kill to have an interior OL like Grove. He's an easy yes from me. If I had just two votes, he would be one of them.

DE Mathias Kiwanuka - Yes

I may be a bit biased because Kiwanuka was the first player that I selected on behalf of MZero and the Patriots after the infamous S2 mass exodus of players back before there were safety nets in the offseason. Kiwanuka, while good for the occasional FF, was really only good at one thing, and that was sacking the QB. Getting to 100 career sacks is a major accomplishment, and to me that is basically an automatic yes vote. DL age the worst out of any unit out there, so while they may retire later than other positions, it is hard for them to keep up their ratings long enough to stick around as a starter. Also factoring in how wildly sack totals can fluctuate, 100 career sacks is mighty impressive in my book. Yeah, I would have liked to see better stats across the board and more Pro Bowl recognition or an award, but I have long felt like he's had a high impact on that Pats defense and kept that unit from falling apart in those early seasons. Also, 109 sacks is the second on the all-time list.

DE Luis Castillo - No

He had an underrated career as he was sneakily named to three Pro Bowls, and I do think that he was an important factor on some good Carolina defenses, but I just don't see him as a Hall of Famer. Perhaps if his final few seasons weren't duds, he would have reached the magic number of 100 sacks.

OLB Kamerion Wimbley - Yes

Man, what a story. This dude went undrafted, somehow managed to avoid to annual purging of free agents for a few seasons, was signed by a Pioneers, then called the Texans, squad coming off of a 4-12 season, miraculously was named a starter, and he just fucking beasted from then on. He had just eight seasons of work, three of which he missed at least three games (one he missed eight), and he still managed to retire being in the Top 10 of all major categories. He averaged nearly one defensive TD a season! He was named LB of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year and four Pro Bowls. He's the best player on the ballot.
