MKnight82 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Re-Sign Players QB B Gradkowski (75) - 3 years, $3.86 mil, $630k bonus - young cheap option at QB QB P Ramsey (77) - no offer QB B Bollinger (73) - no offer HB J Harrison (75) - no offer FB B Askew (75) - no offer WR D Ridgeway (69) - no offer TE D Jolley (80) - 3 years, $5,17 mil, $780k bonus - he's not amazing but seems solid enough to not let walk. LT A Clement (77) - no offer RG I Snell (68) - no offer RG B Moore (84) - 3 years, $9.64 mil, $2.01 mil bonus - he's a solid starter. LE J Wyche (69) - 1 year, $1.15 mil, $150k bonus - I resigned him because he fits my new 4-3 scheme and he's cheap. LE M Pope (80) - no offer - idk about this one, he's 29 and not a scheme fit. I guess I could resign and move to DT, but I think its just better to let him walk. DT M McChesney (61) - no offer ROLB B Thomas (72) - no offer P B Graham (84) - no offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Free Agency My free agency plan is to look for young affordable long term pieces to add, but I won't shy away from young stars in their prime if I think they are worth it. I'm not looking for anyone over 30 years old for sure. I do have a substantial $33 mil in cap penalties from all the trades I made, so I can't really go crazy in this free agency period. LE Robert Mathis (90), 26 years old - 5 years, $50 mil, $8.0 mil signing bonus - star player in his prime, he can be the cornerstone of my new 4-3 defense. CB Roderick Hood (25), 25 years old - 3 years, $12 mil, $3.50 mil signing bonus - solid CB for my secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 NFL Draft There's very little information for me to use going into this draft, as this is before Madden developed their scouting system. I know one thing, I refuse to pay pre-rookie payscale #1 money. So I'm trading down from #1 no matter what simply because of the cost. The problem with trading down is that I can't pick up future draft picks (because that doesn't exist in 2007 Madden). The only problem with that theory is there's only one prospect that I think is worthy of the #1 or #2 pick, which I have both. He has a ridiculous name, William Williams. But he's also a 6'5" 290 lb DE that I think can bookend Mathis very well. So I bit the salary bullet and take him #1: With the #1 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft the New York Jets select: DE William Williams Williams will be a leader on my new 4-3 defense. I can't afford the #1 and #2 picks, so I have to trade down now: *TRADE* Browns Receive #1 overall Jets Receive #6 overall TE Kellen Winslow (85) Winslow is a semi-bust at this point but he's a solid pickup for my offense, plus just dropping from #2 to #6 saves me a ton of money. *TRADE* Bears Receive #6 overall pick 6th round pick Jets Receive #10 overall pick 4th round pick Just cutting more cost with this first round pick signing, also picked up a 4th here. *TRADE* Vikings Receive DT Dewayne Robertson (80) 5th Round pick Jets Receive 3rd Round Pick I had to shed some salary, because I'm in a tight spot to sign all my draft picks. Robertson was the most expensive player on my roster this year and had already been assigned the Bust role by the computer. I had to throw in the 5th round pick because of the stupid Madden only 10 picks rule. This trade is basically a salary dump. With the #10 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft the New York Jets select: SS Justin Chapman My plan is to shore up the defense first, Chapman looks like a great prospect at safety to help my secondary. With the #12 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft the New York Jets select: CB Peter Forest More secondary talent, this guy ran a 4.29 at the combine. Time to sim to my next picks in the 2nd. With the #33 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft the New York Jets select: RE Sammy Cote Cote has the highest amount of bench reps in the draft, and he's 6'6" 306 lbs. I'm going to move him to DT. With the #44 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft the New York Jets select: QB Travis Sheth I need someone to groom at QB, and Sheth is 6'7" and rated as a 1st-2nd round prospect. With the #61 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft the New York Jets select: WR JT Dutton He's only 5'10", but he has 4.23 40 time speed. 3rd Round is starting: With the #63 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft the New York Jets select: OT Thomas Johnson I need help at RT, and Johnson has good bench reps. With the #86 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft the New York Jets select: HB Craig Chapman Need another body at RB, heck Chapman may start. 4th Round Starts: With the #97 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft the New York Jets select: DT Peter Huey After dumping Robertson need more depth. With the #106 overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft the New York Jets select: LG Dee Lewis Depth for the Oline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Draft Pick Signing Pick 1 - RE W Williams - 7 years, $65.94 mil, $16 mil bonus - 88 OVR - expensive but looks like a stud. - 6'5", 290 lbs, 64 SPD, 90 STR, 96 ACC, 72 TAK, 68 AWR - I wish his speed was a little higher but he has elite strength and acceleration. Pick 10 - SS Justin Chapman - 7 years, $18.13 mil, 2.03 mil bonus - 82 OVR - solid with good speed. - 6'0" 208 lbs, 92 SPD, 88 AG, 88 ACC, 72 CTH, 77 TAK, 66 AWR - He has good speed and a decent catch rating. Solid tackler too. Pick 12 - CB Peter Forrest - 5 years, $35.95 mil, $6.35 mil bonus - 83 OVR - another expensive deal, but looks like elite talent with speed. - 5'11" 195 lbs, 95 SPD, 95 AG, 93 ACC, 70 CTH, 59 TAK, 71 AWR - High end athlete, but needs to work on tackling. Should be good in coverage right away. Pick 33 - RE/DT Sammy Cote - 5 years, $26.20 mil, $4.25 mil bonus - 82 OVR (as DE) - has good strength, should be good DT convert. - 6'6" 306 lbs, 69 SPD, 89 STR, 83 ACC, 71 TAK, 59 AWR - his awareness took a hit when I changed his position. Needs to work on tackling too. Pick 44 - QB Travis Sheth - 5 years, $22.50 mil, $4.50 mil bonus - 81 OVR - Great arm with 96 TP, will probably start right away. - 6'7" 235 lbs, 61 SPD, 54 ACC, 74 AWR, 96 TP, 83 TA - Big armed pocket passer. Pick 61 - WR JT Dutton - 3 years, $11.55 mil, $1.92 mil bonus - 79 OVR - 99 freaking speed, but 90 ACC.

May be a career backup if I draft someone better next year. Will probably start Year 1 though. Pick 97 - DT Peter Huey - 3 years, $6.93 mil, $1.41 mil bonus - 77 OVR - great size at 6'5" 333 lbs. - 6'5" 333 lbs, 67 SPD, 87 STR, 80 ACC, 75 TAK, 58 AWR - great size, should be a good run stuffer. Pick 106 - LG Dee Lewis - 3 years, $3.45 mil, $660k bonus - 75 OVR - 99 Strength, great developmental backup. - 6'3" 298 lbs, 50 SPD, 99 STR, 68 ACC, 81 PB, 76 RB, 68 AWR - slow mauler, looks like a good backup.

MKnight82 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 *TRADE* Cardinals Receive C Trey Teague Jets Receive 3rd Round Pick I messed up by not trading Teague away last season and not starting Mangold. Won't do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 *TRADE* Lions Receive Laveraneus Coles (89) Jets Receive 1st Round Pick According to the game Coles is a solid player. However, he's 29 years old, and as a IRL fan of the Redskins I can't stand him because he was a punk with us. He's getting dumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I might have to end up dumping some of the picks because I can't afford all of these first rounders with the old rookie pay scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
