Have been asking JDB to do something about the auto managers, one key area is the roster and contract management. What it did to the Browns roster is horrendous! Dont know why, or what the programming is, but it added players that were 10 yrs or older, gave full term contracts with full bonuses, added two old kickers that were not needed. And of course, it does not re-sign its previous high draft picks after their 4th season, lets them go to FA. Cmon man!! Have AI fix the managers, lol. something! The other area is play selection and use, the auto managers go with a full 40/30 selection, and overuse the GL offense. Puhlease!!! There's gotta be a better way for the auto managers to function and be 50% competitive.

The Browns HQ and front office looks like a bomb hit it after Early FA 3 ! Two full pages of releases, signings, and rejections. After sim had finished, there are 51 players under contract, and a ton of dead cap for next season thanks to the AM signing several old, non starters to full 6 year contracts with max bonuses. Oof!
Players i want to be rid of are on the block. I'm happy to trade you up pix in 6-7 rounds this year - 2017, and want to try to both get rid of some usable players and help you in your rebuild. It is not necessary i get the former in order to help accomplish the latter.
If I can help, pm me first. Gnarly what happened, GBD. I'll do my best to give you an assist when i can this offseason, so please pm me your ideas.
Thanks Whunter bud, appreciate it. Its a challenge, but manageable, will see how the draft goes but so far the tail end of early FA has been good. I had 3 teams that it happened to in last couple of weeks, so have gotten use to the "scramble" after picking the teams back up. As far as trading picks atm, Im holding on to them and using them to get more shots at possible "boomers". :) cheers! GdB
