Fanspeak's Manage The Cap Simulator

http://fanspeak.com/mtc/

Fanspeak have a draft simulator which is fun to use. They also have a FA simulator now which allows you to restructure contracts, release players, sign your own FA's and sign new players all whilst keeping an eye on your spending. How reliable it is is something that might be questioned but it's a fun way to pass some time (if you're a football nerd).

Have fun and post your results.

So, after a couple of trial runs:

Cut:

Amendola - Cut to re-sign
Dennard
Revis - Cut to re-sign
Hooman
Wilfork
Wendell

Restructure:

Arrington
Mayo
Vollmer
Edelman
Browner


Re-sign

Vereen
Revis
McCourty
Ayers
Ridley
Branch
Gostkowski
Amendola


Sign:

Orlando Franklin
Stephen Paea
Dan Williams
Vernon Davis

Have 2,400,000 cap space remaining not including draft picks. Would take that.

I was able to
Cut-keep:
Revis $16,000,000 per year 4 years 75% Gaur
Solder
Mayo
Amendola
ReSign:
McCourty
Vereen
Gost
Connerly
Ayers
Branch

Still had $4.6mil to sign others or a cheap FA

Cut:
Revis
Wilfork

Restructure:
Mayo

Resign:
Mccourty 4 year deal
Revis 4 year deal
Ghost 4 year deal

First day of FA:
Vince Wilfork (DT) accepted your 2 year offer for $2,500,000 per year
Dan Connolly (G) declined your offer and accepted a 5 year offer for $4,100,000 per year from the Indianapolis Colts TRAITOR

Don't think anyone would turn their nose up to this free agency...

Resigned:
Jerod Mayo
Nate Solder
Vince Wilfork
Danny Amendola
Darrelle Revis
Dan Connolly
Shane Vereen
Alan Branch
Jonathan Casillas
Akeem Ayers
Devin McCourty
Danny Aiken
Stephen Gostkowski

Restructured:
Brandon Browner
Sebastian Vollmer
Kyle Arrington

Signed:
Rob Housler
Mike Iupati
Adrian Clayborn
Kenrick Ellis

Cut:
Bolden (cap casualty)
Hooman
Devey

1.2m left + the 5m they ring fenced for rookies.

Here is mine.

That was signing to market rate deals with 65% guaranteed.

They should have the Extend option. But this is very entertaining.

Think this came out OK. Just need to draft some RB's, G, DT, WR

So much fun! I will post a complete one later but am at work : (

@JMC00 You´re too generous. LOL. If I was the GM I would only give 60 % of guaranteed money for Revis. I really liked your moves but i will keep DA + Ridley ( one year prove it deal ) instead of Gore and Royal. I don´t know if they are FA. But they can be the difference between getting a compensatory pick or not next year.

Just did another where I managed to keep every Patriots free agent (Ridley signed for $1m 0% guaranteed!) and still had the cap space to add Suh, Iupati, Kenrick Ellis, Brian Hartline and Vernon Davis!

If that were possible IRL it would be totally unfair to the rest of the league.
