Free Agency Discussion (Stage 12 Done)

[dberner30]

Hello, Roderick Peabody! I can't really explain it, but I take my backup QB's serious. Even if Caro never gets hurt (which seems likely) I still like having competence on the sidelines.

Him being from Moorhead only helped my desire for his services:

!!!

im bummed you got him...i had him tabbed to be my b/u QB as well...he mustve signed with you because of some bug you manipulated...why would he want to be a b/u QB for your team when he could take less money from me and be a b/u QB on my team...

I liked Roderick, he does well. Now he is nothing but a dirty little whore. I signed a MLB you were trying to get, I'll trade you to him for my dirty little whore.

Remember a couple years back...I can't remember the player but he was one of the best free agents we have seen in years and he got a dozen insane offers. Someone, don't remember who, offered him a 10 million dollar, one year contract and he signed.

fuckin collins. . .he signed with Cleveland. . they had a crap load of cap space. . .no one else did. . they used it perfectly to get help where they needed it. . . wish I had thought of it at that time. . .

Stage 5 Done.

Jave = OWNED

Changed his offer to Montgomery to a 2-year deal and the guy ends up accepting Dakota's new 3-year offer. Doesn't get any better than that!

[Argot]

But a boat load of signing bonus money...he was the only free agent that was a must sign for me.

We now have a great front seven...the back 4 need a little work tho....

[Suicane]

I missed it by like 5 minutes. Do over.

Congrats on Montgomery!

Times like this are just MADE for the chat room (cough)

Actually no. I considered going balls out for him, but really, nothing in his stats told me he was going to be the 6 million dollar man. Dakota put up a strong offer and unlike my past complaints, thats a legit deal. He just outbid me. Like I said, I had the opportunity, but decided against it. I put my focus on resigning a few players long term and focusing on the draft.

It you want my real opinion, Dakota way overpaid for him. That is not a 6 million dollar defensive lineman and thats exactly why I did not aggressively pursue him. When all is said and done, I am happy with my decisions in this free agency. I didn't overpay for anyone. No, I did not get any difference makers but in my opinion, there wasn't any real difference makers this year, so I am pleased with what I came out with.

[sovstar]

Ah yes, I recognize that strategy ...


METHODS OF DEALING WITH FREE AGENCY REJECTION

1. Mention that you're glad you didn't get him in the end.

[Argot]

Yeah...probably overpaid, but I had money to spend and I had a huge need for a pass rushing DE, especially with a shoddy secondary. But then again...who isn't overpaying in this market. If I had to do it over again...I would have probably put a better offer in for Herndon.

Is it just me, or did the Voodoo re-sign anyone. Alot of good free agents went to market now that I'm looking at it.

[Jave]

No, I didn't say I didn't want him. I said he wasn't worth 6 million a year.

A) Any contract handed out to an Imperial League player can be subject to review by the League Administration.

A very severe violation may result in additional penalites or the expulsion of the violating owner.

Ok, I will bite. Backloading anyone?? HA?
