Emeraldegg 11/22/18 11:25:51 AM #255:	RE: Cap space Something that I personally struggle with in managing my cap space is wanting to do a lot at once, then being set for a while. I like uniformity and the league just does not work that way. I like having all my QBs expire at once, but it's not good. I like having all my best players expire at once, but it's not good. I like spending lots in FA to make a splash, to be the talk of the league, then not need to do anything for a while, but it's just not good. You need to have them spread out. The biggest year in UFA I had was signing OT Whitworth and HB Bush to big deals, and I am just now starting to get out of the hole that those signings put me in. I had to restructure last year because I was in such a bind. Bush is making 10 mil this year. Bush has been great when he's been healthy, but much to I'm sure KCF's happiness (he told me so), I do kind of regret giving him that deal because HB is just so deep. It's important to keep track of where the thinnest positions are, and base your signings on that. Overpaying for an LB is a lot easier to swallow than overpaying for a HB, or a K. You need to spread your players expiry years out. If you sign a bunch of dudes to 3 year deals, then on that 3rd year you will be hurting big time. It seems like most of the time I have 20+ dudes expiring any given year, and I need to do a better job of that. It makes that year you re-sign them pretty good, because they're making lower money than they will later on, but in all likelihood, the year before will have been hell because all those guys were making higher money than they were earlier on. You have to find that balance of guys on the front, vs guys on the tail ends of their deals. RE: Growth I pretty much echo Shattered's mindset on this. If you're bad, you don't need picks, you need players. That's what the pumpkins did. They didn't amass lots of picks, they went ham in FA, and their normal picks supplemented it. If you're on the flipside and you have a good cycle going like KCF, you want picks to keep that influx of young talent ready to take over when it's their time. --- I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss <cite>Emeraldegg posted [p:912850050] in Board 8 Na...
