I might need to find a replacement for the commish duties or have the other guys pick it up while you're out. Yup. LIS, wouldn't be an issue with regards to actually participating since things are timed out and I can plan, but yeah, won't be available with the same degree of frequency which could certainly impact the commish duties. I made mention of it earlier, but I didn't think that we were going to get rolling that early tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, I don't see managing a team to be an issue at all, and if I can get some extra help while you're out I don't see the commish being an issue either. Might be able to get @D82 to help us out in your absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ny92mike Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Pretty solid day of work. Just about finished up with the compiling the player database and expected APY values. Gonna use similar values that I did last year to determine APY values. Basically, average of the top 3 with it being reduced the lower the pff grade becomes. I think this worked out pretty well last year. For example: GRADE 34DE 34DT 34OLB 43DE 100% $15,669,750 $4,771,778 $22,841,667 $17,675,000 99% $15,513,053 $4,724,060 $22,613,250 $17,498,250 98% $15,356,355 $4,676,342 $22,384,833 $17,321,500 97% $14,259,473 $4,342,318 $20,785,917 $16,084,250 96% $14,102,775 $4,294,600 $20,557,500 $15,907,500 95% $13,946,078 $4,246,882 $20,329,083 $15,730,750 94% $12,849,195 $3,912,858 $18,730,167 $14,493,500 93% $12,692,498 $3,865,140 $18,501,750 $14,316,750 92% $12,535,800 $3,817,422 $18,273,333 $14,140,000 91% $11,438,918 $3,483,398 $16,674,417 $12,902,750 90% $11,282,220 $3,435,680 $16,446,000 $12,726,000 89% $11,125,523 $3,387,962 $16,217,583 $12,549,250 88% $10,028,640 $3,053,938 $14,618,667 $11,312,000 87% $9,871,943 $3,006,220 $14,390,250 $11,135,250 86% $9,715,245 $2,958,502 $14,161,833 $10,958,500 85% $8,618,363 $2,624,478 $12,562,917 $9,721,250 84% $8,461,665 $2,576,760 $12,334,500 $9,544,500 83% $8,304,968 $2,529,042 $12,106,083 $9,367,750 82% $7,208,085 $2,195,018 $10,507,167 $8,130,500 81% $7,051,388 $2,147,300 $10,278,750 $7,953,750 80% $6,894,690 $2,099,582 $10,050,333 $7,777,000 79% $5,797,808 $1,765,558 $8,451,417 $6,539,750 78% $5,641,110 $1,717,840 $8,223,000 $6,363,000 77% $5,484,413 $1,670,122 $7,994,583 $6,186,250 76% $4,387,530 $1,336,098 $6,395,667 $4,949,000 75% $4,230,833 $1,288,380 $6,167,250 $4,772,250 74% $4,074,135 $1,240,662 $5,938,833 $4,595,500 73% $2,977,253 $906,638 $4,339,917 $3,358,250 72% $2,820,555 $858,920 $4,111,500 $3,181,500 71% $2,663,858 $811,202 $3,883,083 $3,004,750 70% $1,566,975 $477,178 $2,284,167 $1,767,500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember some of the ridiculous FA Contracts last year. If memory serves me, there was an issue after the first round that forced us to change the formulas. Nate Solder's first year was 16m but something with the roster and workout bonuses allowed the subsequent years of the contract to be extremely inflated. That was fixed immediately and to further prevent the headache of figuring out high bid I've done away with the roster and w/o bonuses for fa contracts. However, I am looking at some other options that I think would curve spending without forcing contracts into a box. In the past, as long a single contract didn't put your team in the red, it was accepted. I'm looking at making it the total of the fa contracts. So if you don't have the cap to cover every offer you make it won't be approved. Also, looking at making the player's expected signing bonus a required amount. at least for the early rounds. Aside from the Nate Solder and Kirk Cousin deals bidding wasn't too bad. It sucked because those two contracts really put a hurting on tcmd's credit as being a solid mock to new members not familiar with this system. If you've got any ideas on how to reduce the crazy bidding without putting a ceiling on the bidding I'm all ears. I can't have a ceiling because all the teams would just bid the max, creating a tie.

ny92mike Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Let me draw up some guidelines for this process. Having to account for all of the contracts in your available cap might be a bit much, because we don't normally sign all of them anyway. I'm thinking maybe the total of the top two contracts cannot exceed your available cap, rather than all of them. Got a busy weekend and Monday coming up so it'll likely be middle of next week before I get rolling on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainpd Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 If I remember correctly I think sign ups were last couple of days in January and trading started about 10 days later.

We all got excited and started early and we had to drag out the bidding rounds to make it work. I'll try to work on the schedule middle of this week.

So you can see its fairly common for teams to have a FA signing within the top 3 of its cap for 2018. It is however fairly rare for a team to have the top player on their cap as a signed FA. Only 7 teams in the NFL had this occur, and Nick Foles is kind of a special case considering he can back to the team that drafted him. Of those 7, the most egregious is the Kirk Cousins contract, which is probably a historical anomaly, but starting QBs of that level rarely hit FA (I'm not here to debate whether Cousins is a good QB or not, but its obvious the perception during FA last year is that he was). So let's just throw out that contract because its a once in a lifetime occurrence. That leaves us with these comps: Broncos % Case Keenum $15,000,000 Derek Wolfe $10,925,000 37.30% Von Miller $10,125,000 Jaguars Calais Campbell $17,500,000 Malik Jackson $15,500,000 12.90% AJ Bouye $15,406,250 Rams Ndamukong Suh $14,500,000 Lamarcus Joyner $11,287,000 28.47% Aqib Talib $11,000,000 Trumaine Johnson $10,000,000 Josh McCown $10,000,000 0.00% Kelvin Beachum $9,500,000 Eagles Nick Foles $13,600,000 Fletcher Cox $11,348,000 19.84% Jason Peters $10,666,666 Redskins Josh Norman $16,800,000 Trent Williams $13,579,005 23.72% Ryan Kerrigan $12,450,000 Case Keenum's contract is the strongest of the bunch in terms of being so much higher than every other contract on payroll by that team. His contract was 37.3% higher than the 2nd highest cap on the Broncos payroll this season. NEW RULE: So I propose this, make a rule that you cannot sign a player that is paid more than 40% more than the 2nd highest paid player on your roster. That will cap team's bidding, and it also won't give you the same ceiling for every team (causing problems with ties). Now I can already see the complaints with this rule, what about teams that have a $20+ mil QB vs teams with a $10 safety as their top paid player! To enact this rule we're going to need a second rule. The team with its top 3 players taking up the most % of cap this season was the Carolina Panthers. They had 28.1% of their cap tied up in their 3 players. NEW RULE 2: Your top 3 paid players cannot be more than 30% of the cap for next year. I'd like to hear people's thoughts on this idea.
