Would you want me to make decisions on your behalf in that event? The deadline will be about 72 hours from when I send out the final PM.

Sometimes, life makes it difficult or even impossible to devote time to B8NFLL during its busy portions. Instead of idling, I highly recommend that you give me temporary control of your team (for a fixed or indefinite amount of time), and I will run them like they were my own. You can also give me instructions on what you would like me to do in case you have a specific vision of the direction of your team and want to make sure that I will follow it.

However, we see our fair share of idling every season, and I want to reiterate what happens in that event:

1. If you idle in Restricted Free Agency, I will sign a random RFA of yours to a random tender level (if you don't understand what I mean by that, I will explain tomorrow).

2. If you idle in signing your remaining free agents, I will sign a random one-third of your UFAs, and I do round up (if you had 16 UFAs, I will sign six).

3. If you idle during the NFL Draft, I will draft as if I was in charge of the team. Many teams still take advantage of this to their benefit.

4. If you idle the rookie signing period, then I will sign all of your rookies to the deals that they desire. If you have cap or roster space issues (former shouldn't be a problem unless you are the Redskins), I prioritize rookies whose position is one that still needs to be filled on your team (aka roster holes).

5. If you idle during free agency, then there will be no attempt to sign any of the premier free agents. If you have any holes on your roster at the conclusion of free agency, the AI will randomly sign players to fill those holes for you. There is one team that is currently the exception to this rule.

This info is really just for you VI, so feel free to ask me any questions you may have about the slashline (or anything else).

The Almighty Slashline!

Throughout an offseason, I will be posting or PMing a thousand or so of these, so it is imperative that you understand this simple line of numbers. Here's an example slash line with descriptions on what each figure means:


3 / $7.50 mil / $1.50 mil


3 = the length in years that the contract encompasses. With few exceptions, you can offer just about everyone a contract between 1-7 years.


$7.50 mil = the total amount of money that the player will receive as long as he is not released.

The average cap hit that a player will count against the cap is this figure divided by the first figure. In this example, it is $7.50 mil / 3 = an average cap hit of $2.50 mil. However, nearly all multi-season contracts will have ascending cap hits. That not only means that every season will not have a $2.50 mil cap hit, but players will count more against the cap the further they are along in their current contract. The cap hits for the above contract might end up being $2.08 mil, $2.45 mil, $2.97 mil.

If a player plays out his entire contract with the team that signed him to the contract, only the first two figures will matter. If not...


$1.50 mil = the amount from the total that is guaranteed. This means that no matter what, the team who signed the player to the contract is on the hook for that amount whether he plays out the contract, is traded, or released. If a player retires under contract, you are no longer financially responsible for them, so that is not a factor.

This figure can essentially be seen on the Team Financial sheet as Annual Bonus. The Annual Bonus is the total guaranteed money divided by the length of the contract. In this example, it is $1.50 mil / 3 = $500k. Continuing to use this example, if you trade or release this player after the first season of the contract, you will incur cap penalty (aka dead money) of $1.00 mil for the offseason that follows the release/trade. It is not $1.50 mil because he already played out one year, so his annual bonus was $500k x 2 = $1.00 mil.

On the flip side, anyone who is traded a player not only pays a lower cap hit due to the annual bonus being erased, but that also means that they are only on the hook for non-guaranteed money and can subsequently release or trade that player in the future without any financial repercussions.

I added LT Travelle Wharton (99 overall), RT Rob Pettiti (88 overall), DT Marcus Stroud (90 overall), and DT Darwin Walker (89 overall) to the trading block. I will probably only be willing to trade one from each position, but you never know.

Pettiti is currently under contract while the other three can only be acquired via sign-and-trades. I'm not sure that I want extra picks (Wharton would have to) and would prefer to go the route of upgrading picks and possibly collecting some depth players depending on the team.

You can all agree in principle to trade, but I would prefer that you wait to put the trade up for peer review until it is able to be made in the game.

So to answer your question, a trade is legally binding once a trade has been posted for peer review and all users involved have confirmed its parameters.

I need to update the free agent sheet and team financial sheets (latter will be far less time-consuming than previous seasons).

Then, I can go into the full off-season spiel and we can officially begin.
