Spent the past week trying to catch up on some scouting. Got a little distracted this year as I'm up to 8 different fantasy leagues, 6 dynasty, with several different formats. Colts, correct? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's pretty bad which I'm hearing they are I'll probably allow them to have additional restructures and/or extensions. Never want someone in this if they aren't going to have fun.

In real life, the situation this year is pretty simple, there won't even be any cuts. But in real life you need 6-7 restructures for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints draft group is loaded with day 3 picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddHatter Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 How do you guys handle teams that write contracts with built in salary conversions? Cowboys have 5-6 players who are set to have their salary converted to a sign on bonus, all documented by spotrac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there probably needs to be a simple restructure process where base salary / roster bonus is converted to signing bonus without changing the current contract APY. There are a lot of NFL contracts that are setup this way from the beginning. From 2023. Some are smaller cap savings, some are clearing $5-10+M https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/transactions/2023/restructure/ Edited February 11 by squire12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a true Saints fan would know the roster better and what areas to address via draft. Just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston is a great example. Converted two different players salary into signing bonus, adding 4 void years each (have I mentioned how much I hate this practice?), and yet they're listed as having the 5th most cap space in the league. Why bother with the restructures? Titans converted $11M of Landry's salary, and yet they're 2nd in available cap. Makes no sense to me.

sparky151 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 The Saints are suffering from years of kicking the can down the road. They should have taken a down year after Brees retired to reset their cap. But they didn't because they are in a weak division which even a middling team can win. So they've kept the band together too long with a series of restructures. It's now to the point where even cutting every single player on the roster who gains them cap space wouldn't be enough to become cap compliant. So they need to do more restructures. In real life the league has no limit on those but in TCMD we do limit them since it's a one year simulation. We don't want everyone maxing out their cap space for a single season to go on a free agent binge. So my suggestion for the Saints only is to allow them as many restructures as they need to become cap compliant plus 1 or 2 more. I'd previously volunteered to run the Saints if we didn't have a GM just for them. My plan was to do the minimum of restructures and maximum of cuts/trades. If I were running the Saints they would only be bidding on cheap free agents, probably no more than 3-5 million per player. They'd be active in UDFA after the draft. They'd be cap compliant for 2024 with some dead money for 2025 but in much better cap shape from that point forward. How competitive their roster would be is up to Dennis Allen. Depending on what the Falcons do at QB, the Saints might be in the mix to win the NFCS, though they wouldn't go far in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
