Chicago dumps some luggage and Denver gets two projects with little risk. Both players are moved back a level in defense with Crawford taking on a LB role and Jean goes to CB. With the loss of weight these players could get even faster.

There's one thing I can say is that this rookie GM gets it.

I jump on multiple teams that past GM's struggled before moving on. There has been one common denominator with each team besides cap issues. And that's lack of speed.

To all rookie GM's, this game plays a lot like RL with respect to speed and strength. Gotta have em. A player can have all the skills in the world, but if he can't get to where he needs to be he can't use those skills. Because your opponent is already gone.

I'd move Marvin to FS or CB and see if he can drop a full 50 pounds. ;)

Question; Do players have a set weight frame or will they indefinitely keep losing weight till the reach their position standard?

I might just have to move him to CB yet, with my lack of depth there. But I can really use him as a LB while he starts chopping the defensive end weight.

And then they continue to gain or lose during the year until they hit a hidden upper or lower bound to their physical weight which is determined by their frame.


Got it. Thanks.

So have you seen this happen?
And if I'd switch Margin to CB, and he'd reach his bottom weight limit at say 219 pounds. Would he being overweight for a CB get penalized in anyway?

His overall would be lower, but it's artificial, he should still play up to his ability.

This guy started out at 252#: https://paydirt.myfootballnow.com/player/3586 (Nabors is on my bench inactive because, well, have you seen my DB depth?)

This guy started out at 312#: https://die-hard-fans.myfootballnow.com/player/3020

This guy started out at 283#: https://agent86.myfootballnow.com/player/4152

Alright. That's good to know. There's no actual in-game penalty for just being an overweight cornerback.

Thanks.
