I'm going to use these numbers for Canty, Bradshaw and Boley since they were cut by the Giants before I looked at the rotoworld contracts and after our rosters locked. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/n...0613?gt1=39002.
Bradshaw, who has had knee and ankle injuries, was to earn $4.25 million. He became expendable with the play of rookie David Wilson. Canty, who had knee issues with the Giants after never missing a game with Dallas, was to earn $6.5 million next season. Boley, who had shoulder and hamstring injuries last season, was to make $4 million this season.
1.) Free agency is via a bidding process I assume?
2.) The NFL cap is 121M, correct? There was some confusing text about cap carry over $$$...did John Clayton take that into account when he posted his team-by-team cap figures? The Raiders were 4.5M over the cap per Clayton, but today I saw that they had a 4.5M carryover?
3.) How do we treat guaranteed $$$ when doing trades? Or do we ignore that? And the entire cap figure for 2013 is removed from the books? (same as we do with cutting guys in their final 2 years and saving 90%?)

1.) Bids. Each bid must be 10% higher per year than the previous bid. If a bid stands unchallenged for 24 hours, the player is signed by the highest bidder. Its crazy and can go on a LONG time.
3.) Ignore all the fine print in trades. Its just too complex. I know for me, however, I do take that into account when trading someone, but I tend to try to keep things realistic. Others don't and that's fine too.
IIRC from past year's on trades, the trading team saves 90% of the base same as cuts, but the acquiring team has to take on the full amount of the base.

I am also trying to keep things realistic, but it's exciting pretending to be McKenize... the Raiders have SERIOUS SERIOUS problems...wow...kinda fun being a GM of a bad team.

OK, everybody....
The Raiders now don't have much of a OL, DL, CB....and a punter/kicker!!!!
Dunno how I will fill in the holes..and it looks like I need draft picks more than anything else...
Willing to trade Heyward-Bey, Tommy Kelly (would need more as he fills in a need right now), and would entertain discussions for guys like Macfadden/Huff....it's a full rebuild mode...
I am gonna be surprised if the real Raiders win more than 5 games next year...

To clarify, we stopped doing multi-year deals a couple years ago because the extra work it creates doesn't enhance the experience. All FA offers are for 1 year here. Keeps all the math more simple and the bidding process more smooth.
