2026 Offseason Discussion

goes in here

Our team is in flux right now. I knew this would happen because we have an old roster and a young QB.

not sure what direction we'll take, but I left myself a lot of wiggle room to make it work no matter what I end up doing.

Still in perplexed at 10-year veteran TE Amos Morton's decision to retire. Came out of nowhere..

I'm surprised that Bryan McNeil didn't retire. Now he's taking up a ton of cap room and wants a $9 mil injury settlement. He's using up all the goodwill from his Imperial Bowl win.

I'm very surprised that I didn't get a single retirement the Whales! I guess everyone was p/o'ed that they lost the big game. It's going to make for a lot of tough choices on whether or not to hang on to the declining vets.

I'm ready to start over with a new young Qb in Walter Mahovlich. We have a nice young base to build around. We are moving Schulz to SLB and Cressio to WLB in the 3-4. Should be a exciting off-season for us. Hopefully, we can add some crucial pieces to get back into the play-offs...

[JesterBlaze]

Gonna be another boring cap-related off-season for the Phantoms as Amos is set to eat up $19M of the available $21M once franchised leaving $2M for 16 or so roster spots.

1st Team 3 years running and just had the best season of his All-Pro career. Very strange!

Yep, I noticed that...that sucks.

[BuddaKINGII]

Damn you Jester! Hahahaha...you stole Myron Hurt from me. Nah, I'm actually glad I got Manderville.

Anyway...I figured Hurt was due a bump up in a couple of ratings since he's only 47. Do you know what ages most coaches are likely to bump up in? I haven't paid much attention to that aspect. I figured it was between 48-53...

[JesterBlaze]

I *think* it's just a slow, almost random thing that can happen at any age but that's not based on anything but experience and guesses. I know Alan Crespo has increased since he started his coaching career for me and he's still young.

As always no one really likes the coaching system in the current FOF. I'd have taken anybody if I knew I was gonna take the scout someone else wanted since none of them really interested me anyway.
