Little Rock signed G Willie Colon and cut G David Arkin.

Hanson is a nice one-year addition. I was looking at him a while back and debating if it was worth cutting a kicker to get him.

Rancho Cucamonga signs CB Nolan Carroll and cuts CB Chimdi Chekwa, despite his really cool name.

I had Billy Cundiff, who only played in 5 games in 2012, so it was an easy decision to cut him. I would have liked replacing him with a longer term option, but kickers were surprisingly scarce and I didn't want to try to outbid anyone for the few FAs available, given how up and down these guys are. I figure I can go back to the drawing board next year.

Topeka Thugs sign CB Richard Sherman and release nobody

Rancho Cucamonga signed WR Domenik Hixon and released DE Jermaine Cunningham.

The Horseteeth signed a whole ton of guys and released Jabari Greer and Joe Mays.

Welcome to Corona, WLB Nick Barnett.

Goodbye, Greg Salas.

After a protracted and fierce bidding war, Anchorage signs CB Pacman Jones and releases CB Shawntae Spencer.

Provo signs TE Jeff Cumberland and cuts TE Daniel Graham.

St Louis welcomes Keenan Lewis, no cuts.

I'd like to report either a bug or a feature that I find inconvenient. Normally when I sort the Free Agent Auction page on Time Remaining (longest to shortest), I get the players that have already received winning bids first and then all the players that are still up for grabs. But when I've won enough players to put me over the 53 man roster limit and do it, all the "winning bid" players are gone. Once I get back under the roster limit, they reappear.

This makes it harder to announce signees and I can't think of a benefit or a reason for the list to work this way.

BTW, I think I signed Rasheed Jennings (HB) and Rod Streater (WR). I cut Cedric Benson (HB) and Early Doucet (WR).

Yeah, something's a little funky there. It knows they're winning bids, but they don't show up. If you sort by "High bidder", you'll see the winning bids because they have a team name but no time on the clock and no "Winning Bidder" notice. We need to fix that, thanks.

OK, thanks for the workaround tip.

Sioux Falls Swagger trade Brandon Weeden for Ed Reed.

That's an interesting trade.

Rancho Cucamonga signs DE Arthur Jones and cuts DE Jarius Wynn.

Thank you!!!! Brorth I didnt want Stevie Brown anymore especially for 151. I was hoping someone would have taken him.

Pembroke Pines signed Riley Cooper (WR) and cut Justin Tryon (CB)

Lights on for C Ryan Cook and NT Kyle Love, Lights off for CB Terrell Thomas and FB Jacob Hester.

Provo signed DE Ropati Pitoitua and DE Sean Lissemore, along with FS Chris Prosinski and FS Isa Abdul-Quddus. We are releasing WR Chansi Stuckey, OLB Bryan Scott, CB Chris Owens, and ILB Brandon Siler.

Little Rock signed WR Clyde Gates and is cutting LT Will Svitek.

I have been fielding offers for Adrian Peterson, a couple of really good ones. Message me if you're interested in him.

His knee is shot. It might take him another season to fully recover.

Slander

Rancho Cucamonga takes a flyer and signs Dre Kirkpatrick despite his rough rookie season. To clear his roster spot, we cut country strong DE Allen Bailey.

Little Rock signs TE David Ausberry and releases TE Daniel Fells.

Rancho Cucamonga signs C Robert Turner and releases C Phil Costa.

What a shame. Right before his 10 sack season.

So I'm trying to figure out how the hell Kirkpatrick went undrafted and I see he actually was drafted in the 2nd.

Did someone actually cut their 2nd round pick?

This is a strange league y'all have here...

And if there's a dead team in here, I'll help babysit if you need an owner.

That said, I'll be the Clark Hunt of League Two. While I'll make all attempts to field a competitive team, my true passion will be the Columbus Crew...er, I mean the Clearwater Donkeys.

Someone must've cut him. All of a sudden there was a bid on him and I'm sure he wasn't there before, so the cash-rich Rancho franchise figured he was worth a shot and upped it.

Richard Sherman's going to cost $450 and someone actually cut a 1st round caliber CB.

Well that's just silly.

Sure, I'd be delighted. I had to pick up a couple of teams recently whose owners appeared to be AWOL, so I've got too much. I'm not sure what cdcox's schedule is like right now, so it may take him a day or two to do the transfer.

Would you rather have Rancho Cucamonga:

Little Rock looks different enough from Clearwater that I'll get to try some different strategies with them; let's go that route.

Cool.

They're so cornerback rich that maybe there's some fun trade activity possible, too. They've got a great back eight on D that will need to overcome some weakness on the line. The offense is going to be an interesting proposition as well.

I'll let cdcox know.

I mostly have something of a mancrush on Chandler Jones, that was the final factor. I took him at 13 overall in League 1, so I'm clearly a fan.

You're right, though - there are a bunch of CBs on that squad.

Pembroke Pines has a surplus at DE4 and we could use a CB if you're interested in that kind of player.

wow you do have some good DE's

Probably will be; Von Miller pretty much locks me into a 4-3. I'll need to get depth charts put together, but when I'm set there I'll start figuring out where I want to go with these guys.

"An Error Was Encountered"

What caused it? And can you shut the browser and start again?

Signed local KC long snapper, Beau Brinkley (long snap specialist). Cut mush head Austin Collie (WR).

I hope there's value in carrying a long snapper, but I'm guessing there's not.

Done.

I've found that it happens to me pretty often, I don't even have to close the browser to correct it.
I just erase the everything in the url after index.php (which for me usually says "/my_team/manage_roster/134"), and I'm good.

Okay, have the depth chart set up and can probably dip my toes in the trade market.

Some available players:

AJ Hawk
Jerome Harrison
Rocky McIntosh

Brett Keisel
CJ Wilson

Nnamdi Asomugha
A. Cromartie

My needs at this point:

4-3 DE
WR
TE

If you're interested, lemme know. I don't anticipate being terribly pro-active on the trade front just yet, but I'll listen to all offers that come my way.

I don't want any of those players. I do want Von.

Provo will offer you burgeoning star DE4 Greg Hardy and WR Austin Pettis for Keisel and Cromartie.

Seattle will offer you Cliff Avril, Lance Moore, and Ben Watson for Brett Keisel, James Harrison, and Antonio Cromartie.

How many years does Comartie have left on his contract?

Provo signs PR Damaris Johnson and releases WR Donte Stallworth.

He just took over that team from me, and I recall that Cromartie just signed a four-year deal.

Thanks.

Both decent offers, Rainman, but I'm not ready to pull the trigger on either one. I'll keep you on speed-dial...

Keep your finger on the button, because we're movers and shakers. Or at least shudderers.

In a big trade, the Provo Lone Wolf Pack and St. Louis Spiders make a multi-player trade.

Provo receives:

HB Maurice Jones-Drew
TE Brandon Myers
DE Jared Odrick
CB Sean Smith

St. Louis receives:

DE Greg Hardy
LB Kevin Burnett
WR Michael Jenkins
TE Jeff Cumberland
CB Jimmy Smith

The Spiders just making shit happen out there:

Little Rock receives:

Robert Quinn

St. Louis receives:

Tarell Brown
James Harrison

I think the Spiders are content now.

I could still use help at WR and TE but can no longer deal Cromartie; best offer for him or Brown took it and Quinn's 5-years and potential as a young pass-rusher sold me on it. I was looking to firm up my bookend pass-rushers and I think Quinn and Jones should be strong in that regard for quite some time.

Could still move Asomugha or AJ Hawk; both guys would be pretty useful for several teams.

Some of this is old news but the Los Angeles Knights have signed:

Starting CB: Brandon Bowener
Situational relief pass rusher: Kroy Beirmann

Which brings us to exactly 53, so no releases.

Putting Punter Reggie Hodges (41.8 y/p) on the trading block. I'm looking for depth players across a range of positions, so I'm open to any offer.

uh, why would anybody trade for a punter right now? there are several quality guys on the market they could get for free

But they aren't Reggie Hodges. They don't provide his locker room presence, his leadership, his swagger.

I am always open to trades, trndobrd check your pms

St Louis Welcomes Jerrell Freeman to play MLB for us this season. He is undersized but he is better then anyone we had which is no one.

Edited to account for recent trade of Josh Norman and Jameel McClain for DeMarcus Ware and Jordan Babineaux.

Rancho Cucamonga (my babysitting team) had a good offseason to build depth, and we picked up three new starters.

I took over Anchorage last year as a babysitting team and made them my permanent team. They missed some draft picks before I adopted them, but have recovered well. We added seven starters and some specialists this year, rebuilding our skill positions on offense and our defensive backfield.

We are still in negotiations with Chris Harris Jr and hope to bring him onto the team in say, three days.

Pembroke Pines signed Scott Chandler (TE) and M.D. Jennings (FS).

Released were Martez Wilson (SLB) and Jonathan Scott (RT).

Rancho Cucamonga trades Josh Norman and Jameel McClain to Kansas City for DeMarcus Ware and Jordan Babineaux.

Provo signs G Manuel Ramirez. No cuts necessary.

The roster upheaval continues for the Vancouver Volcanoes (KCF)

I'm gonna drop:

Andrew Gachkar (3-4 left inside LB back up SD) 3 yr. contract
Tahir Whitehead (4-3 right outside LB back up DL) 3 yr. contract
Ryan Mallet 4 yr. contract

If someone would like to avoid the bidding process, shoot me a trade offer. I'm willing to take a used Kleenex.

Adrian Peterson is still on the block, I have had some pretty good offers nothing worth trading for I think. Let me know what you think.

I sent you an offer that is well more than a used Kleenex.

Mallet's gone.



Brian Urlacher anyone?

LeGarrette Blount on the odds that he bounces back?

What was the deal?

Mallet & a 4th for his 3rd.

I give up my 3rd to get Kalil.
