| All of
the old OIFL transactions, right here!
Through OIFLCup XXIII |
|
|
|
|
|
| Week 19 Update |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: B Spielman |
|
|
| I guess he's not getting a cup
share if they win. |
|
|
| Week 16 Update |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
J Greene |
|
|
| Greene's been there, he knows
the system, he knows a lot of the team. They can do worse. |
|
|
| Week 15 Update |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: P Sachetti |
|
|
| Well they need a kicker now. |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
M Orion |
|
|
| Orion will probably not play
too much, but Seattle will use him some. |
|
|
| Week 14 Update |
|
|
| New York cuts:
B Smith |
|
|
| Smith is on the up and down
train. He'll be back if NY gets someone else hurt. |
|
|
| Chicago cuts:
P Sachetti |
|
|
| I can see a team wanting a
young kicker making a move there. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: P Lokam |
|
|
| Certainly he wasn't going to
pan out. |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
Q Schelleneger |
|
|
| He's pricey and they liked
him, but he's just not going to be the future on this line. |
|
|
| Week 13 Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: B Smith |
|
|
| Smith, despite his age, keeps
getting fairly consistent work. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: A Pettyfer |
|
|
| Richmond cuts: D Gerlack |
|
|
| I can see getting rid of
Gerlack, but not sure what an old QB does here. |
|
|
| Week 12 Update
- Trading Deadline |
|
|
| New York
signs: T Bell, L Galarza, M Jacobs |
|
|
| New York cuts: N Shito, T
Mimms |
|
|
| They are always working to get
the best guys on the roster whenever needed. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: S Maivia |
|
|
| Maivia is going to immediately
slot in as a Revolution starter. |
|
|
| Columbus gets:
R Pauly, R Hasselbrock |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: P
Kwiatkowski, A Rendfrey |
|
|
| Columbus making a few moves to
clear out some age here as we hit the deadline. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: J Owen, J Waldron |
|
|
| Green Bay gets: $750K |
|
|
| Owen and Waldron had limited
playing time for the Axemen, so why not get a little more cash. |
|
|
| Dublin signs:
Z McGentry, B Boddington, F Winkler, R Kuntzelman |
|
|
| Dublin cuts: J Hunter |
|
|
| Trying to move stuff around a
little bit for the winless team. |
|
|
| Week 11 Update |
|
|
| New York gets:
C Adams, E3 |
|
|
| Dallas gets: COL E2, GB E2, NY
E2, T O'Brien, W Collins, C Davis, F Ferrari, $1M |
|
|
| Adams is the best player in
this group, but Dallas gets a few buildable pieces out of it. |
|
|
| New York
signs: J Nunez |
|
|
| Nunez doesn't have much left,
but he'll get playing time in New York. |
|
|
| Columbus
signs: E Gillary |
|
|
| Columbus cuts: M Orion |
|
|
| Orion finds a job before Week
11, I bet. |
|
|
| New York
signs: S Metzinger |
|
|
| This is a flyer type thing;
can the guy be trained? |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: L Haywood |
|
|
| Richmond cuts: K Lang |
|
|
| Lang probably wasn't ever
going to be much of a star, so why not. |
|
|
| Green Bay
gets: J Harris, T Bradford, TEX E1 |
|
|
| Richmond gets: RIC E1, J
Shamburger, J Mackey |
|
|
| I'm not sure Green Bay got
full max value for that pick, but they did get two linemen that'll be there a
long time. |
|
|
| Dallas cuts: I
Grimwade, T Sappington, T Bandle |
|
|
| Dallas got more guys in there
that are better than these, so it makes sense. |
|
|
| Ruidoso cuts:
J Greene |
|
|
| He's seen a lot of action a
few places, but Ruidoso doesn't really have a spot for him. |
|
|
| Week 10 Update |
|
|
| Green Bay
gets: D Dunavin |
|
|
| Columbus gets: W Hoss |
|
|
| Green Bay starting to feel
like they might be able to contend here. |
|
|
| New York gets:
L Dimick |
|
|
| Richmond gets: WAS E1, TEX E1,
RIC E2, W Carr, P Pappoulas |
|
|
| Gotta give New York credit for
taking advantage of the unrest in the House Speaker elections. |
|
|
| New York
signs: T Mimms |
|
|
| Mimms was about due to get
another job. |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
S Guerrero |
|
|
| Guerrero isn't really needed
there, but he is a guy other teams will watch if injuries occur. |
|
|
| Week 9 Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: B Harris, D Ladd |
|
|
| Harris is a guy that probably
should be on a roster, for sure. |
|
|
| Texas gets: C
Staley |
|
|
| Columbus gets: B Roberts, B
Soskin, $500K |
|
|
| Columbus is moving some guys
who aren't really helping them win, but they do need to do something on that
overcrowded DS room. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
A Rodgers |
|
|
| He played a role, and that
role isn't needed now. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
C Wilson |
|
|
| New York signs: D Shadden |
|
|
| Shadden will get some good
playing time in this offense. |
|
|
| Ruidoso cuts:
E Gillary |
|
|
| I think he has a place
somewhere, but it may not be until next year. |
|
|
| Mexico City
cuts: S Metzinger |
|
|
| I think for an OS, he probably
needs too much work to be too awful useful. |
|
|
| Week 8 Update |
|
|
| New York cuts:
D Ladd |
|
|
| Up and down he goes! |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
M Pica, A Attaway, B Harris |
|
|
| Richmond signs: A Washington,
T Shoelaces, S Matua |
|
|
| Matua has played a fair bit,
but it's still kind of a backups-for-backups move here. |
|
|
| Columbus gets:
$1M |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: J Kratofil |
|
|
| Columbus doesn't really need
to trade for money, but it's better than cut penalties to strip down from 7
DS here. |
|
|
| Week 7 Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: W Collins |
|
|
| New York cuts: F Winkler |
|
|
| Collins is no star, but he may
stick around in NY awhile. |
|
|
| London gets: J
Osbon, $300K |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: W Conner |
|
|
| This feels like a trade that
adds something to both sides they'd use a little more than what they had. |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
D Shadden, D Sherratt |
|
|
| Not sure these are the two
cuts I'd make, but Richmond's roster is always fluid. |
|
|
| Week 6 Update |
|
|
| Green Bay
gets: V Tyler |
|
|
| Texas gets: G Moore |
|
|
| Buster always looking for
random diamonds in the rough - don't forget the Terrors do use unorthodox
positions sometimes. |
|
|
| New York
signs: D Ladd |
|
|
| He'll be back and forth a few
times. |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: A Rodgers |
|
|
| They need an experienced guy
for a moment in case Clothier gets hurt. |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
T Maison |
|
|
| He's not really going to help
much now, or in the future. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: V
Nostran |
|
|
| He was only there while Campos
wasn't. |
|
|
| Dallas cuts: S
Reinita |
|
|
| Probably not a difficult
choice. |
|
|
| Week 5 Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: N Shito |
|
|
| New York cuts: D Ladd |
|
|
| This is a short-term contract,
but Shito will probably play while he's there. |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
W Collins |
|
|
| See? Some of their signings
are staying. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: E Ekebi |
|
|
| They certainly needed a
quarterback! |
|
|
| Week 4 Update |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: J Jones, T Maison, D Sherratt |
|
|
| Richmond had these signings
queued up quickly after the injuries. All three may end up more than just
injury rentals. |
|
|
| Mexico City
signs: S Hasegawa |
|
|
| Hasegawa wasn't going to sit
here too awful long. |
|
|
| Mexico City
gets: P Goodwin |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: 2024
E1, N Jensen |
|
|
| Still not sure why the blowup. |
|
|
| Week 3 Update |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: K Ellis |
|
|
| Ellis has had a pretty
successful career, though clearly he's on the downside of it. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: $15M, J Allen, 2024 E1, 2025 E1 |
|
|
| Seattle gets: E Huber, 2025
E2, E3 |
|
|
| I mean, the $15M itself makes
it a pretty easy call, I suppose. Not sure the Blitz need to be in a rebuild
though. |
|
|
| New York
signs: C Wilson |
|
|
| Wilson is a project, but NY
can afford those right now. |
|
|
| New York gets:
2025 E3, $500K at end of season |
|
|
| Green Bay gets: N Haze |
|
|
| Haze will help Green Bay now,
and not at a huge cost. |
|
|
| New York gets:
E Rooney |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: 2025
PHI E2, $3.5M |
|
|
| Still confused why Vancouver
Island's doing a rebuild here. |
|
|
| Green Bay
cuts: S Hasegawa, B Taylor, A Washington |
|
|
| Hasegawa had a strong career
as a long-time backup type guy, but Green Bay would rather their backups be
young. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: $10K |
|
|
| Florida gets: J Bidwell |
|
|
| Bidwell does fit in Florida
for obvious reasons. |
|
|
| Florida cuts:
J Jones |
|
|
| Bidwell fits better than
Jones, too. |
|
|
| Dallas cuts: J
Falloon |
|
|
| Yeah, they had some options
there for the cut. |
|
|
| Week 2 Update |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: N Crain |
|
|
| Maybe an overpay, but Crain is
a young guy the Founders want to develop. |
|
|
| London signs:
K Sherman |
|
|
| It's a one year thing, but
London will always use a little more punch in the pass game. |
|
|
| Columbus
signs: M Orion |
|
|
| Back to where his career
started. |
|
|
| Ruidoso cuts:
D Takechi |
|
|
| Just doesn't fit what the Kids
are doing anymore. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: J Cocherell |
|
|
| Richmond cuts: W O'Smotherley |
|
|
| Cocherell does know the
Richmond system, so he is a fairly obvious pickup. |
|
|
| New York
signs: D Ladd |
|
|
| Ladd's been there before,
though the other players in the locker room may not quite look right. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: E1 |
|
|
| Green Bay gets: R Falk, P
Alkaranafil |
|
|
| Green Bay's pick would still
seem to be fairly high, but adding guys like these may change that. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: J Kettelle, T Points |
|
|
| New York gets: GB E1, 2, 2025
PHI E1,2,3, N Crain, $1M |
|
|
| Kettelle is the type of
lineman Philadelphia has been trying to get for awhile. |
|
|
| Green Bay
cuts: E Grant |
|
|
| Grant was probably always the
likely odd man out if GB added players. |
|
|
| Week 1 Update
- July 22, 2023 |
|
|
| New York cuts:
B Smith |
|
|
| Smith had a good career, but
this is probably another one that's over. |
|
|
| Washington
cuts: K Sherman, P Scheibe |
|
|
| Sherman may have a little in
the tank, Scheibe may never have had a tank. |
|
|
| London cuts: J
Lamb, F Lomas, A Bunch, K Couto, A Cruz, S Matua, N Stewart |
|
|
| Not much there to cut, either. |
|
|
| Ruidoso cuts:
D Dreher, W Pringle, N Crain |
|
|
| Crain is the only of those
that might be a little interesting. |
|
|
| Eugene cuts: A
Rodgers, L Wimbush |
|
|
| Tough calls there, but five QB
is way too many. |
|
|
| Dublin signs:
K Lowe, M Sumner, W Robertson, M LeFlores, R Tucker, J Chapman, S Ness |
|
|
| Mostly nonguaranteed
contracts, but they needed bodies. |
|
|
| Chicago cuts:
P Peltier |
|
|
| Chicago signs: P Sachetti |
|
|
| Kinda need someone to kick,
yes. |
|
|
| Week 1 Update
- July 21, 2023 |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
$250K |
|
|
| Dublin gets: J Westin |
|
|
| Westin fills a need, and
Dublin doesn't have to fight anyone else to get him. |
|
|
| New York
signs: D Stuit |
|
|
| Stuit will be a long-term
project for the Mean Machine |
|
|
| New York cuts:
M Sumner |
|
|
| Sumner is one dimensional, and
never was the RB that MiQuale Lewis was to get away with it. |
|
|
| Portland cuts:
K Lowe, M LeFlores, D Davis |
|
|
| An end of an era with Lowe and
LeFlores getting the axe. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: B Spielman |
|
|
| Spielman has been an effective
back-end-of-the-roster guy for a number of years now. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: J Huggins |
|
|
| Just didn't do anything in
camp, and it wasn't going to pan out. |
|
|
| Dallas cuts: R
Auger, S Ness, J Chapman |
|
|
| Some older names, but Dallas
has a few of those that can go a little better. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: F Groszinski, M Orion, D Herr |
|
|
| Orion had a good career some
time back, but those days may be over. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
T Stallworth, S Revell |
|
|
| Stallworth was a good backup
for a spell, but those days are probably over. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: C Blitzem |
|
|
| London gets: TEX E3, BAL E3 |
|
|
| It's a salary dump, but
Baltimore needs linemen badly. |
|
|
| London gets: J
Wisdom, E2 |
|
|
| Green Bay gets: R Peck |
|
|
| I'm not sure the angle for
London on this one. |
|
|
| Week 1 Update
- July 20, 2023 |
|
|
| New York gets:
S Graves |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: K Sharp, TEX
E3 |
|
|
| Graves is a guy who just never
quite panned out, but NY is a place to test those waters. |
|
|
| New York gets:
C McGuinness |
|
|
| London gets: R Peck, D
Colling, A Cruz, K Couto, HOU E1 |
|
|
| Peck probably does fill a
little more need for London than McGuinness, especially as Gunn ages. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: H Lowenstern |
|
|
| Backup kicker probably good to
have, though not sure that's the biggest need Baltimore has right this
second. |
|
|
| Texas gets:
$400K |
|
|
| Richmond gets: M Dowling |
|
|
| Probably smart, getting him
before he hits the FA pile. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: R
Marshall, J Tuioti |
|
|
| This is likely the end of the
road for Marshall. |
|
|
| Mexico City
cuts: A Pettyfer, T Stivers, C Wilson, L Galarza, W Ray |
|
|
| A couple of these guys could
get jobs somewhere. |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
B Spielman, D Ladd, D Stuit, J Klores, L Kellar, J Rowe |
|
|
| Some names, but not sure names
that can do a lot anymore. |
|
|
| Green Bay
cuts: D Sherratt, J Farda, P Sachetti, J Hotchkiss |
|
|
| Sherratt and Farda both had
fairly successful careers, but they may be over. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: R Tucker, J Cocherell |
|
|
| Philadelphia signs: R Warrick |
|
|
| Philly not taking chances
missing a kicker for a game |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: W Collins |
|
|
| Richmond cuts: W Boenker |
|
|
| This feels like switching for
mostly the same thing. |
|
|
| Chicago cuts:
M Nasif, J Pearson, L Pappas, J Nunez |
|
|
| The futures guys and the past
guy, all out in Chicago. |
|
|
| Green Bay
signs: J Tuioti |
|
|
| Definitely a guy that'll help
the Axemen |
|
|
| Dublin cuts: J
Dudley, D Edwards, L Lazzeri, B Boddington, E Hannon, F Faustin, P Morey, P
McNeil, G White, J Ferraira |
|
|
| Dublibn signs: R Zellhofer |
|
|
| A couple surprises there
perhaps, but Dublin had to gut everything and start over with about half this
roster. |
|
|
| July 16, 2023
Update |
|
|
| Mexico City
cuts: T Buemi |
|
|
| Cuts that other teams may
actually look at should happen this coming week. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
V Hundley |
|
|
| Houston cuts: W Collins |
|
|
| Hundley may not start for them
this year, but he's in the future plans for the Marshals. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: C Rhodes |
|
|
| Older guy, but fits a need
Philly has. |
|
|
| Ruidoso cuts:
J Hyman |
|
|
| This one checks out as well. |
|
|
| July 14, 2023
Update |
|
|
| Texas gets: R
Marshall, V Nostran |
|
|
| New York gets: $25K |
|
|
| A cheap family reunion in
Texas |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
R Kuntzelman, J Morrow, K Lines, R Zellhofer, C Rhodes |
|
|
| Richmond signs: W Boenker |
|
|
| An interesting mix of guys hit
the pile. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: T Maison, L Clarke |
|
|
| Maison and Clarke have had a
long career, but it's about done. |
|
|
| July 8, 2023
Update |
|
|
| Seattle gets:
J Allen |
|
|
| Richmond gets: 2024 E2/3 |
|
|
| Allen is a good young player
that Seattle has a guy that's a lot like. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: A Attaway |
|
|
| Attaway is a guy Richmond
could get some good out of. |
|
|
| Columbus cuts:
R Warrick, T Samuel, N Stephenson, M Jacobs, V Hundley, K Kure, P Forest, B
Cannon, G Joyaux, H Dickman |
|
|
| Columbus signs: P Kwiatkowski |
|
|
| Warrick will be an injury
replacement for a couple weeks somewhere, but it is a significant move to go
away from the drop kicker. |
|
|
| Columbus gets:
$750K |
|
|
| Green Bay gets: N Whittington,
J Wisdom |
|
|
| I'm not sure Green Bay is
hunting for bear just yet, but adding Whittington (even if he's old) doesn't
hurt. |
|
|
| Florida gets:
J Wells |
|
|
| Green Bay gets: B Burke |
|
|
| Florida getting an older guy
they can use now (and Florida uses their bench as good as anyone), for a guy
they don't see much future in. |
|
|
| July 5, 2023
Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: F Winkler |
|
|
| He's the type of guy Jeff may
decide to put a lot of work into this coming offseason. |
|
|
| Richmond gets:
E Drennan, E3 |
|
|
| Green Bay gets: W Hoss, E1 |
|
|
| I can see the reasons both
ways. |
|
|
| Green Bay
gets: K Richardson |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: $500K |
|
|
| I can see Richardson finally
having the numbers multiple teams that had him before thought he would. |
|
|
| July 3, 2023
Update |
|
|
| Dallas signs:
J Chapman, S Ness |
|
|
| Dallas cuts: B Burger, C
Chase, N Mock, S Reyna, J Lair, D Crashaw, G Gelfland J Hamlin |
|
|
| I'm not sure either make the
30-man when we get to the season, but they might. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
E Edwards, L Lockhart |
|
|
| New York's definitely in a
rebuild, but doesn't see a lot out of these two. |
|
|
| New York gets:
$25K |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: M
Schweiger, T Bell |
|
|
| Philadelphia cuts: T Bell |
|
|
| Schweiger is the target there,
but for New York it's a clear salary dump. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: W Robertson, K Vickenlooper, S Maivia, T Mimms |
|
|
| All names, but all older. |
|
|
| Portland
signs: D Pozzy |
|
|
| Pioneers acting like a team
that expects to make the playoffs again. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: $250K |
|
|
| Green Bay gets: A Albano |
|
|
| Green Bay needs talent, and
Patten remembers cash doesn't go too far in the OIFL |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: J Krivenko, P Kwiatkowski |
|
|
| Older guys who probably
wouldn't have a spot but they may get some injury replacement time down the
line. |
|
|
| July 1, 2023
Update |
|
|
| Dallas gets: L
Graper |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: $500K
at end of season |
|
|
| Graper will get some decent
playing time for Dallas. |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
H Loewenstern |
|
|
| Richmond signs: R Kuntzelman |
|
|
| Richmond looks to be active in
the preseason transaction market, as per usual. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
C Drummond, D Wells, T Salisbury, G Hinckley, M McCarthy, B Waugh, L Peine |
|
|
| I mean, Peine's well past due,
but the others never were going to get there. |
|
|
| Seattle cuts:
D Owens, J Conner |
|
|
| Camp just didn't go well
enough for either. |
|
|
| New York
signs: M Winberg |
|
|
| New York cuts: C Church |
|
|
| Winberg is the type of guy
Jeff will use in some weird ways, especially with this rebuilding team. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: C Antai, M Razaq, G Halbig, J High, M Cason |
|
|
| Philly just doesn't have spots
for these specific veterans, though for injuries one or two could get called
back. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: E2, J Foster |
|
|
| Green Bay gets: J Ferguson, T
Stoss, $1M |
|
|
| Foster is a guy Philly has
wanted for awhile. But this is about the salary dump. |
|
|
| May 14, 2023
Update |
|
|
| Dublin signs:
E Hannon, F Faustin, P Morey, P McNeil |
|
|
| Some camp fodder probably, but
it's Dublin's first signings as Dublin! |
|
|
| Richmond signs: J Klores, |
|
|
| May 12, 2023 Update |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: J Fitzpatrick |
|
|
| I suspect he has a nice role
in Philly here. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: J Anko |
|
|
| Columbus gets: $2M |
|
|
| I think we're very close to
where Columbus can start to build back up here. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: K Vickenlooper, M Orion, C Andress, D Herr |
|
|
| Definitely mostly guys who
have done things in the league, though probably past that prime. |
|
|
| Dallas signs:
B Burger, N Mock, C Chase, S Reyna, I Grimwade, J Lair, R Auger, D Crashaw, G
Gelfland, J Hamlin, |
|
|
| S Reinita, T Sappington, J
Falloon |
|
|
| We're getting to the "I
need to have a look in a camp somewhere" stage of the offseason. |
|
|
| May 8, 2023
Update |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: L Peine |
|
|
| Peine will at least get some
cash, as he's probably not likely to get onto the roster for the regular
season. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: E2-22 |
|
|
| Columbus gets: $500K |
|
|
| Columbus still working to get
out of the financial pits, but it feels like it's about there now. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: M Cason, A Albano, T Maison, L Clarke, J Bidwell, D Brigham |
|
|
| It's definitely an expensive
price for a retired guy, but that's the game right now. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
E3-1, E3-10 |
|
|
| London gets: 2024 E2 |
|
|
| London maybe could have used
the sleeper shots, but I see why they moved these. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: E3-4 |
|
|
| Ruidoso gets: T Trowbridge |
|
|
| Trowbridge is a bit more of a
sure thing than a sleeper shot here. |
|
|
| London gets:
E3-14 |
|
|
| Columbus gets: $400K (plus
more if sleeper) |
|
|
| Will see if London can get
something back after moving 1/10. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
J Fitzpatrick |
|
|
| He's on the wrong side of the
aging pool, but he may still have value for someone. |
|
|
| May 2, 2023
Update |
|
|
| Last one for
about a week. |
|
|
| New York gets:
E2-13, E3-15 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: $300K, future
considerations |
|
|
| Considerations are if either
pick is a sleeper. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
$1.5M (from DMV) |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: $1.55M @ end of
season (from DAL) |
|
|
| Dallas gets: J Logan, R
Ellena, R Andrews |
|
|
| Houston obviously salary
dumping a bit here, but Dallas has the spots to use them. |
|
|
| April 29, 2023
Update |
|
|
| Houston gets:
W Ryan, C Howard, J Perri |
|
|
| Florida gets: D Sochowitz, B
Burke, $500K |
|
|
| Florida is revamping the
entire roster here. |
|
|
| April 26, 2023
Update |
|
|
| Florida gets:
$100K, 2024 E3 |
|
|
| Washington gets: I Lyons |
|
|
| Florida staying busy this
offseason. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: M Razaq, R Tucker, G Halbig |
|
|
| All a bit older, but can still
bring some help to the roster. |
|
|
| "AT2"
gets: E Redd, M Grondin, D Scuteri, $3M |
|
|
| Seattle gets: E1-19 |
|
|
| Sure, some higher salaries
there, but it's a workable deal for the expansion team. |
|
|
| Chicago signs:
J Nunez |
|
|
| Nunez will get some blitz work
in camp, so there's value to him there. |
|
|
| Chicago gets:
$1M |
|
|
| New York gets: D1-16, D1-18 |
|
|
| New York in player acquisition
mode now. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
E3-7 |
|
|
| Dallas gets: D1-24 |
|
|
| The more sure thing makes more
sense to Dallas than a sleeper shot. |
|
|
| London gets: B
Hudson |
|
|
| Houston gets: E1-15 |
|
|
| Houston hoping to get the
youth worked back on after a couple of these trades. |
|
|
| Portland gets:
C Brown |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: E2-20, E3-3,
$8M, P Cirspinski |
|
|
| Brown is certainly a guy with
camp that the Pioneers can build around. |
|
|
| April 23, 2023
update |
|
|
| Washington
gets: D1-3 |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: R Aramayo,
B Tomlinson, R Moss, $3M, E2-10, 2024 D1 or 2025 E1 |
|
|
| Good to see Indy get active
again. |
|
|
| New York gets:
E1-4 |
|
|
| Mexico City gets: E1-22,
E2-12, E2-21, 2024 TEX E2, E3-21, E3-22, D Kelly, D Murphy |
|
|
| It's a hefty price, but New
York wanted their QB for the next decade, and saw him at #4 here. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
E1-6 |
|
|
| "AT2" gets E1-11,
E1-19, E2-25, A Tobey, A Moore |
|
|
| Well, there's going to be some
guys on that team when the owner is found. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: D1-6 |
|
|
| "AT2" gets: D1-20,
D1-23, R Pollman, L Colton |
|
|
| So far it seems younger guys
are going to still be there in those "late middle" dispersal picks,
so this may be very nice for this team. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: D1-7 |
|
|
| "AT3" gets: E
Caronto, D McBride, C Duncan, M Grant, 2024 E2 |
|
|
| So both new teams have some
bodies coming in. |
|
|
| Chicago gets:
D1-13, D1-18, P Stark |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: R McIntyre |
|
|
| McIntyre was a camp darling
for the Blues, and they unfortunately had to kinda use him to shore up depth
elsewhere. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: O Quicksilver, W Robertson |
|
|
| Both could make the 30-man in
LA |
|
|
| Florida gets:
G Robles |
|
|
| Texas gets: B Soskin, 2024 E2 |
|
|
| Robles has been with the
Terrors for awhile, and just never could break the regular lineup the way
Texas wanted him to. |
|
|
| Portland
signs: V Bloom |
|
|
| Bloom was the surprise cut out
of Ohio (Columbus) last year, and never found a roster. He's found one now. |
|
|
| Chicago signs
to futures contracts: M Nasif, J Pearson, L Pappas |
|
|
| A lightly used thing, but
Chicago will get a look at three guys that may make their roster. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: P Kwiatkowski, J Krivenko, C Antai |
|
|
| Certainly some camp fodder,
but they're getting paid for it. Kwiatkowski has a good chance to make the
30-man |
|
|
| New York gets:
E1-11 |
|
|
| "AT2" gets: 2024 HOU
E2/3, G White, J Ferraira, L Wichhart, H Garner, W Patterson |
|
|
| I mean, it's not perfect, but
they are younger and inexpensive players, so it works. |
|
|

| FAFFA Round 2
Transactions |
|
|
| Houston gets:
M Metzger, E Quickmon, T Sullivan, T Lucena |
|
|
| New York gets: R Danforth, F
Hartman, J Kettelle, P Pappoulas, 2024 E1, 2021 COL E2, E2-12, $2M |
|
|
| Houston going for broke here. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: D1-13 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: D1-19, A
Carlton |
|
|
| Baltimore does need the
bodies, and 19 may not be much different from 13. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: D2-10 |
|
|
| Dallas gets: E1-12, Q Knoy, C
Sarvas, J Kerrigan |
|
|
| Duh of course it's a salary
dump. But Dallas gets some guys who will play significant minutes for them. |
|
|
| Texas gets: L
Gerhart |
|
|
| Columbus gets: $400K |
|
|
| Columbus is continuing with
the fire sale, which may make some sense this year. |
|
|
| Columbus gets:
Y Hiruma, $500K |
|
|
| Washington gets: R Clemente |
|
|
| Hiruma probably won't get the
starting job, Cortright played too well. But he's going to be a very valuable
#2. |
|
|
| FAFFA Round 1

|
| FAFFA Round 1
Transactions |
|
|
| Columbus gets:
J Felder, C Eastmond |
|
|
| Houston gets: 2023 E2 |
|
|
| That St. Louis contract for
Eastmond has moved so many times… |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: R Benefield, C Hewitt, C Pierce |
|
|
| New York gets: J Mueller, 2024
E3 |
|
|
| Guess I never thought I'd see
New York do a fire sale, but it does make some sense here. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: E Eades, C Faes, B Tomlinson |
|
|
| New York gets: G Villedary, C
Mead, E1-22, E3-20/21/23, 2024 NY E1, 2024 WAS E1, $1M if WAS wins 2023
OIFLCup Game |
|
|
| Washington is clearly gunning
for an OIFLCup here. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: R Kern |
|
|
| Washington gets: E1-12 |
|
|
| Even when they're loading for
bear, they always have one eye on the future. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: D McIntyre, D1 |
|
|
| Washington gets: T Gervasi,
$2.55M |
|
|
| Apparently Nestor's running
back strategy is just to take Washington's backup every few years. |
|
|
| Texas gets: M
Simpson, H Tomlinson, D Early, J Barba, V Tyler |
|
|
| New York gets: E1-21, D1-21,
E2-21, E3-21, 2024 E123, $2M, $2M if TEX wins 2023 OIFLCup Game, R Andrews, D
Murphy |
|
|
| New York is just doing a
complete teardown here, but if you look, they are getting pieces to build
their future back. |
|
|
| London gets: J
Denham |
|
|
| Florida gets: W Ryan, D1 |
|
|
| The trade is decent value, but
this one shocked me with just how much of Florida's offense Jean Denham was. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
J Zie |
|
|
| New York gets: 2024 E2/E3 |
|
|
| Houston mostly needs a guy to
kick only extra points, but Zie can give them 3 if they need it. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: $550K |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: R Pauly |
|
|
| Pauly does feel like a classic
"LA young guy they got for very little" acquisition. |
|
|
| New York gets:
2024 E2, $500K |
|
|
| Richmond gets: C Rhodes, O
Rodriguez |
|
|
| They are old, but Richmond
desperately needs linemen. This move makes a lot of sense. |
|
|
| Florida gets:
R Potter |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: E Caronto |
|
|
| With some of the other offers
Philly has gotten, it makes sense to move younger on a couple spots. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: E1-12 |
|
|
| Washington gets: M Killawa |
|
|
| A top level OS is something
the Insiders probably could use here. |
|
|
| OIFL pre-FAFFA
transactions |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: B Nowak |
|
|
| Ruidoso gets: R Polato, C
Satterwhite, 2024 E1 |
|
|
| Nowak is the feature back the
Founders have desired since Lysoby returned to the OIFL. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: R Taylor |
|
|
| Washington gets: P Hamilton, K
Folger |
|
|
| Washington has added a lot of
these "young but kind of forgotten" guys over the years, and has
won a lot with them. Hamilton may be the next. |
|
|
| London gets: J
Niewiek |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: F Harris |
|
|
| Harris will fill a spot in
Delmarva, and Niewiek is going to be a key lineman for the Monarchs. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
J Marple |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: E1 |
|
|
| Okay then. Houston preparing
for Lavergne's retirement, clearly. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
B Brawn, $1M |
|
|
| Texas gets: E Barnes |
|
|
| Brawn never quite fit what
Texas wanted to do with him, so I can see this. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
A Tobey |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: $500K,
$500K if Tobey on DMV roster Week 1 |
|
|
| The champs not just resting on
their roster, clearly. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: D1, $1M |
|
|
| Houston gets: D Sochowitz, B
Burke |
|
|
| Houston may be trying to slow
things down a little bit compared to the frenetic 50+ points per game style
that's become their norm. |
|
|
| 2022 Week 16
Update |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: E White, J Matich |
|
|
| Philadelphia signs: J
Ferguson, B Burke |
|
|
| Going a little younger in some
spots here for the Founders. |
|
|
| Memphis signs:
C Drummond |
|
|
| Tank job? Maybe. |
|
|
| 2022 Week 15
Update |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
L Clarke |
|
|
| And he's going to be their
first call for an injury pickup. He knows the game. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
B Spielman |
|
|
| See? Short-term. |
|
|
| 2022 Week 14
Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: B Spielman |
|
|
| He certainly knows the system
for what'll be a short-term rental. |
|
|
| 2022 Week 13
Update |
|
|
| Trade Deadline
2022! |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
D Owens, J Conner |
|
|
| A little extra cash at the end
of the line for both. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
J Niewiek, J Westin, E1 E2 E3 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: DMV E1,
OH E1, $5M, M Holland, E Kampczyk |
|
|
| Losing their own #1 hurts, but
getting two back and younger guys makes some sense. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
H Hoffman |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: $400K |
|
|
| Delmarva shoring up some spots
at the deadline, I see. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
B Schauber |
|
|
| Ruidoso gets: L Venis, L
Colosimo, DMV E2, RIC E3, VAN E3 |
|
|
| The Kids doing a little future
move here, and Schauber's last real effective year is now going to end on a
contender. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
get: F Lok, R Breshears |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: D Greywacz |
|
|
| Indy just never got any
traction on the moves there. So, get some young guys to work with here. |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: L Clarke, T Stallworth |
|
|
| Due to the moves, they were
thinner than preferred at the RB spots. Clarke well knows the system, and
Stallworth is a solid long-time vet. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
DMV E3, E Barnes |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: VAN E2 |
|
|
| Barnes fits Delmarva pretty
well, and that Blitz E2 will be a higher pick there. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: K Folger |
|
|
| I mean, he's a backup OS,
though he could start for a few teams. |
|
|
| Memphis
gets: $500K, HOU E3 |
|
|
| New York gets: B Gates |
|
|
| Memphis still has an OS, and
now they have a little more stuff to work with in the future. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: C Cooper |
|
|
| Cooper won't really be
necessary after other moves made. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: C Sarvas |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: VAN E2 |
|
|
| Philly can afford the
financial risk, and certainly Sarvas fits what they try to do. |
|
|
| Ruidoso gets:
E1, SEA E1, 2024 LA E1,2,3, W Pike, K Thornton, N Crain, K Ishwer |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: J Shanklin |
|
|
| We're seeing a number of teams
go for broke this year, this has been quite an entertaining trade deadline. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
J Fitzpatrick |
|
|
| London gets: Y Fenton, R
Ziegenfuss |
|
|
| London trying to make a few
moves for their future here. |
|
|
| Eugene gets: G
Langford |
|
|
| London gets: E1 |
|
|
| I don't love this one as much
for London. |
|
|
| Memphis gets:
C Duncan |
|
|
| London gets: MEM E3 |
|
|
| Duncan's a guy Memphis could
use, yes. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
T Rogers |
|
|
| Rogers knew it was a
short-term thing probably. |
|
|
| Ruidoso cuts:
D Strachan, G Sunu, W Boenker, R Kuntzelman |
|
|
| Kuntzelman at one point was
considered for the role Kampner has. He's not really needed for that now. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: R Pollman, L Colton, J Napierala |
|
|
| Napierala has been a few
places, the others are guys LA wants to get a look at while they have roster
space. |
|
|
| 2022 Week 12
Update |
|
|
| Memphis cuts:
A Song, B Burke |
|
|
| Song isn't going to help them
win down the line, so may as well. |
|
|
| 2022 Week 11
Update |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: A Faulkner |
|
|
| Los Angeles cuts: J Napierala |
|
|
| Faulkner is a guy they want to
develop to replace the superstar combo, as they are getting old. |
|
|
| London cuts: R
Zinger |
|
|
| Everyone's healthy there, so
Zinger is the odd man out. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: R Pauly |
|
|
| Philadelphia cuts: L Clarke |
|
|
| Pauly is certainly going to be
a part of the Philly future, if only short-term. |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
K Gibbs |
|
|
| Gibbs is probably one of their
top 5 linemen, but he's not going to be next year, so why not? |
|
|
| 2022 Week 10
Update |
|
|
| Vermont gets:
M Kingseed, A Barber, D Morris |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: B Maino |
|
|
| I mean, yes, Maino's the
better QB here - but Vermont is such that the two young guys will help a lot. |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
J Shea |
|
|
| I don't think Shea stays a FA
long. |
|
|
| Washington
cuts: J Ferguson |
|
|
| Also a guy who probably won't
stay a FA too long. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: J Matich, E White, L Clarke, C Cooper |
|
|
| They need some bodies, and now
they got them. |
|
|
| Vermont cuts:
S Hughes, R Pauly, A Faulkner, K Folger |
|
|
| Changes being made, and
Vermont has some more moves to make here I'd say. |
|
|
| 2022 Week 9
Update |
|
|
| Vermont signs:
H Garner |
|
|
| He could be a guy that sticks
around there awhile. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
M Heflin, B Spielman, T Watson |
|
|
| These are guys who were with
the team Week 1, so New York liking what they see on some of the free agents. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: C Allen |
|
|
| They've been trying to sign
Allen for weeks, and now there's no cut to be made so he can come on board. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
L Clarke |
|
|
| Well, Clarke has been there
awhile, but he's not the player he used to be. |
|
|
| 2022 Week 8
Update |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: J Kerrigan |
|
|
| Ohio gets: L Fleming |
|
|
| Ohio's still looking to shed
salary here. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
J Napierala, T Stallworth |
|
|
| He's gonna be up and down on
this roster all year. |
|
|
| New York gets:
D Early, D Ladd |
|
|
| Ohio gets: R Clemente, 2024
E3, $500K |
|
|
| New York has always had
success using quirky players in ways to benefit the team. Ladd is absolutely
a quirky player. |
|
|
| Texas gets: D
Andrews |
|
|
| Washington gets: S Morris |
|
|
| Texas was somewhat exposed on
"what if Tywon gets hurt?" so this makes sense. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
cuts: J Pearson |
|
|
| He wasn't going to develop. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: J Napierala |
|
|
| The only risk in New York's
method of guys up-and-down is that someone else could use them. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: D Webb |
|
|
| Webb could be a Napierala type
that shuttles around. |
|
|
| Washington
cuts: H Garner |
|
|
| The need for the "guy who
can play when Hiruma gets old" isn't needed now that you have Berkstead
for a few years. |
|
|
| Memphis cuts:
V Sweeton, D Henderson, G Halbig |
|
|
| They've been pleased with some
of the younger linemen, so these guys can go look around elsewhere. |
|
|
| Vermont signs:
D Henderson |
|
|
| Yeah, they need line help
badly. |
|
|
| 2022 Week 7
Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: J Napierala, M Sumner |
|
|
| Guys who will possibly help on
special teams and elsewhere in the Delmarva game here. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: M Jacobs |
|
|
| Richmond cuts: D Owens, T
Bierwirth |
|
|
| I think the "I don't like
Allinson" experiment is over, as he's hardly the largest of Richmond's
issues so far. |
|
|
| Eugene gets: D
Lee, W Lee, J Diek, J Chapman |
|
|
| Ohio gets: SEA E1/2, EUG E2, V
Hundley, K Taylor, J Wisdom, U Leinichen, $5M |
|
|
| Ohio ran out of cash, and when
that happens, tough decisions have to be made. |
|
|
| Ohio gets: D
Cole, both E2-2023 picks |
|
|
| Richmond gets: T Bradford, Q
Schelleneger |
|
|
| Richmond's line was perhaps
the worst in the league, and now it's not. |
|
|
| Ohio gets: A
Stone |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: C Sarvas |
|
|
| Indy has given its fans
nothing but garbage for a number of years - while Sarvas is comically
overpaid, he's going to help Indianapolis |
|
|
| get towards an ever-so-elusive
playoff berth (though they'd really rather be in the other conference right
now). |
|
|
| Ohio gets: B
Cortright, G Sassard, WAS E1, NY E2 |
|
|
| Washington gets: C Berkstead |
|
|
| That sound you hear is
Washington announcing their OIFLCup contendership to the world. |
|
|
| Berkstead started his career
in the other Washington, with the Commandos before they moved to Ohio. |
|
|
| Washington
signs: H Garner |
|
|
| Garner's a guy they've liked
for awhile, and now with Cortright gone they have a spot. |
|
|
| Ohio gets: F
Doby, A Hayda, E2, E3, $1M |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: B Hauver,
SEA E1 |
|
|
| Hauver's a guy who just never
has done a lot for the Commanders, and he'll probably have a somewhat similar
role in Los Angeles. |
|
|
| Ruidoso gets:
H Cope |
|
|
| Ohio gets: G Joyaux, 2023 E2,
$4M |
|
|
| Cope will play some in Ruidoso
as I think they're going to look at a bit more two back with Kampner. |
|
|
| Memphis cuts:
J Sullivan |
|
|
| He's a guy who can get a job
somewhere else. |
|
|
| 2022 Week 6
Update |
|
|
| New York cuts:
J Napierala |
|
|
| I mean, he knew he was there
to fill the 30th spot. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
K Couto |
|
|
| He also knew he was there
short-term. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: M Winberg |
|
|
| Winberg is not unlike the
backs Baltimore has healthy, so this makes sense. |
|
|
| Washington
cuts: J Matich |
|
|
| Given their relative kicker
luck, this seems more of a risk than it usually would be. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: G Moore |
|
|
| Others are close to the
chopping block, but Moore is too far away to help a team that's already got
"good backs that can't defend." |
|
|
| Mexico City
cuts: B Waugh |
|
|
| I can see this as the cut. |
|
|
| 2022 Week 5
Update |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: J Shea |
|
|
| Richmond cuts: D Webber, M
Sumner |
|
|
| Webber is younger, obviously,
but probably is too far away from being real helpful. |
|
|
| Washington
cuts: A Kruse |
|
|
| It was a testimonial parading
around the practice area until Cortright got back. |
|
|
| New York
signs: J Napierala |
|
|
| Napierala does have a ring
from San Antonio. |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: K Couto |
|
|
| Couto has a lot of experience,
so he may help them a little. |
|
|
| Memphis signs:
A Song, D Webber, O Karenten, F Ferrari |
|
|
| When you lose that many guys
to injury, it opens up spots to give other guys a shot. |
|
|
| 2022 Week 4
Update |
|
|
| Indianapolis
signs: R Marshall |
|
|
| Marshall trying to keep his
career alive a little bit, he may play in Indy some. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: J Matich |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: $50K |
|
|
| I guess pick the right backup
FA signing and maybe get a little cash! |
|
|
| Indianapolis
gets: J Kenney |
|
|
| Richmond gets: M Guiel, 2023
E2, E3 |
|
|
| It's a cost savings for
Richmond, and Kenney was never a guy they liked to use. Indy has some
scrambling with the loss of Greywacz, though. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: K
Couto, B Rodriguez |
|
|
| I can see Couto getting
something somewhere (maybe back home in Seattle?) |
|
|
| 2022 Week 3
Update |
|
|
| Mexico City
signs: L Galarza, J Graham |
|
|
| Mexico City cuts: C Drummond |
|
|
| Galarza may be their
long-distance kicking specialist. |
|
|
| New York
signs: T Stallworth |
|
|
| Stallworth, I believe, has
been in the Mean Machine system, so he'll be a nice guy to have while others
get healthy. |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
A Cruz, D Johnson, A Song |
|
|
| Richmond signs: D Webber, R
Zellhofer, M Mannetti |
|
|
| Younger guys whose skill set
isn't much less than what's being given up, this makes sense. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: J Matich |
|
|
| Matich doesn't have a lot left
in the tank but he's a good backup. |
|
|
| 2022 Week 2
Update |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: G Rauls, T Sanders |
|
|
| Baltimore cuts: T Elery, R
Jones |
|
|
| Getting guys who have done it
before, and still can help as backups, makes a lot of sense. |
|
|
| Washington
signs: J Ferguson |
|
|
| Washington cuts: J Matich |
|
|
| So someone didn't impress in
Week 1. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: C Long |
|
|
| Richmond cuts: M Winberg |
|
|
| Not sure Winberg is the cut
I'd make here, but I can see it. |
|
|
| Portland gets:
G Chitwood, C Justice, 2023 PHI/WAS E2 |
|
|
| Washington gets: R Taylor |
|
|
| This is a good trade for
Portland here, Taylor is a backup and now they have a little bit more youth
to work with. |
|
|
| Washington
signs: R Moss |
|
|
| Moss may get some playing time
as a backup or a kick returrner. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: J Cocherell |
|
|
| He's been there before, so it
makes sense. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: E Bridges |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: S Kirby, $600K |
|
|
| Philly wanted to control where
Kirby goes, and they get to do that. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: E Bridges |
|
|
| Philadelphia signs: K Jones, J
Floyd |
|
|
| The goal was to get Kirby out
of the conference, not to use Bridges. Jones fits the scheme better behind
Killawa. |
|
|
| Eugene cuts: D
Webber |
|
|
| He may get a job somewhere
after another camp or two. |
|
|
| 2022 Week 1
Update - Part 2 |
|
|
| Ruidoso cuts:
A Rabbo |
|
|
| Figured he wasn't long for the
roster once he wasn’t a sleeper. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: D Johansen |
|
|
| Johansen has played a fair bit
in his young career, so he could have value somewhere. |
|
|
| Memphis signs:
J Graham |
|
|
| Memphis cuts: R Thomas |
|
|
| Graham could start games for
the Pharaohs. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: D Webb, J Owen |
|
|
| Veterans to give the Founders
some guys who can play in a pinch. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: K Jones, D Giles, A Distorbo, L Galarza, T Stallworth |
|
|
| Galarza surprises me, but they
like what they have to train for long-term in Groszinski…just, next year is
"long-term" now. |
|
|
| Ohio cuts: G
Sunu, V Bloom, T Coutch, C Long, E Peoples |
|
|
| Bloom is fourth all-time in
franchise receptions and receiving yards. He's also cheap to cut and
expensive to keep. |
|
|
| London cuts: S
Hasegawa, L Ellis, R Gutkowski, W Conway |
|
|
| A couple names here as well. |
|
|
| Vermont cuts:
E Compton, R Moss |
|
|
| Four OS is too many. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
W Slevin |
|
|
| Slevin has played a long time,
too. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: S Hasegawa |
|
|
| Philadelphia ctus: J Floyd |
|
|
| OS is just too easy a position
to replace elsewise. |
|
|
| Memphis signs:
T Coutch, D Johansen |
|
|
| Memphis cuts: T Sanders, R
Pollman |
|
|
| Memphis will probably go deep
into the bench most weeks, so may as well strengthen it. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
signs: Z Degan |
|
|
| Indianapolis cuts: A Jackson |
|
|
| Jackson's a tough cut, but
they're overloaded in OLDL and way underpowered elsewhere. |
|
|
| Lincoln signs:
G Day |
|
|
| Day fills a need there. |
|
|
| Ruidoso signs:
D Strachan, G Sunu |
|
|
| Ruidoso cuts: Y Ogsbury, F
Ferrari |
|
|
| Strachan is a good old man
back to help in a pinch. |
|
|
| Memphis signs:
A Jackson |
|
|
| Memphis cuts: J Ferguson |
|
|
| Ferguson may have a job
somewhere fairly quickly. |
|
|
| 2022 Week 1
Update - Part 1 |
|
|
| New York gets:
E3 |
|
|
| Houston gets: R Andrews |
|
|
| Houston gets their last year's
kicker back for one more go. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
J Nunez, M Jacobs |
|
|
| Nunez had a pretty good long
career here. Jacobs had a pretty good long career in New York. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: $500K |
|
|
| Memphis gets: J Mackey, R
Stockdale |
|
|
| Inexpensive young line help
for the Pharaohs |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
J Higginbotham, J Cocherell, C Marshall, M DeMarco, J Seton, E Ott, A
Leavitt, J Ferraira |
|
|
| Richmond signs: A Song, A Cruz |
|
|
| Richmond will always have more
churn than most teams, I think. |
|
|
| Texas signs: K
Couto, B Rodriguez |
|
|
| Texas has been burnt by having
one kicker before. They won't be burnt by it again. |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: R Zellhofer |
|
|
| I can see him maybe getting
somewhere something |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: T Bell |
|
|
| Bell has a lot of experience. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
P Sachetti, J Graham, N Shito, W Patterson |
|
|
| Graham and Shito have had long
successful careers. Sachetti may still be able to have one. |
|
|
| Washington
cuts: J Self, A Byron, A Karenten, K Lang |
|
|
| Washington signs: A Kruse |
|
|
| The big story of course is the
franchise's all-time leading passer coming back to finish out his career. |
|
|
| Memphis cuts:
G Day, G Rauls, C Custance, H Garner, J Napierala |
|
|
| A couple of these guys may
actually get looks as backups (probably short-term backups, but still) |
|
|
| Houston signs:
J Felder |
|
|
| Felder fits what Houston does,
as a backup. |
|
|
| Preseason Week
2 Update |
|
|
| Washington
gets: K Wortman, E2, E3, $500K |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: M Grant, Z
Degan, J Mueller |
|
|
| Philadelphia cuts: Z Degan |
|
|
| Degan will find a job
somewhere. While Wortman is probably the trade's best player, he doesn't fit
what Philly wants to do… |
|
|
| …and he fits what Washington
wants to do real well. |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
G Conquest, R Guthrie, O la Rose |
|
|
| I like these cuts, Richmond's
others probably won't be very difficult either. May need more than 5 next
week so they can add some line help. |
|
|
| Ohio cuts: G
Weisskopf, J Owen |
|
|
| Owen used to be something. |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: W Patterson |
|
|
| I can see Patterson making the
30-man. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: S Bagbey, G Wilson, J Meriwether |
|
|
| Every year, before looking at
ratings of guys cut, I think "why's that guy getting cut?" Like me,
they're getting old. |
|
|
| Vermont signs:
C Halbert |
|
|
| Yeah, line help isn't the
worst idea here. |
|
|
| Memphis cuts:
K Couto, E Brooks |
|
|
| They are pretty good on
passable old guys, so these two can go. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
H Clothier |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: E3 |
|
|
| I mean, are we surprised they
traded for a Clothier? |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
J Shea, T Bell |
|
|
| I can see them getting jobs
elsewhere. |
|
|
| Vermont signs:
M Hafley, E Brooks |
|
|
| Hafley is a future guy, Brooks
will be starting now to try and keep Maino upright. |
|
|
| Preseason Week
1 Update |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: Q Knoy |
|
|
| Philadelphia cuts: J Millaire,
P Adams, J Conner, H Hepmer, R Zier, J Knupp, D Stolinski, M Eckard, K
Haydis, D Odents, D Houseworth, J Williams |
|
|
| Not a whole lot of names in
that pile, that's for sure. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
A Song |
|
|
| I don't know if he'll get
another job, but he may. |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
D Scuteri |
|
|
| Scuteri fits a Seattle type
guy. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: L Galarza |
|
|
| Could be a nice discount in a
year or two. |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: P Sachetti |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts: A Bocti |
|
|
| Sachetti is an upgrade at
kicker #2 |
|
|
| Eugene gets:
$10M, 2023 E1, E2, E3 |
|
|
| Seattle gets: D Crowell |
|
|
| I mean, cash is cheap in this
league, but this still seems a little high for Crowell. But Seattle needs Q's
replacement, and Crowell can be that. |
|
|
| Seattle cuts:
J Floyd |
|
|
| Look at the above moves. Of
course Floyd was gone. |
|
|
| New York
signs: D Kelly |
|
|
| Poor Nick Stokes. The Mean
Machine never did really like him. And now they have his replacement. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
R Marshall |
|
|
| This is probably the end of
the line for Marshall. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: J Floyd |
|
|
| Floyd fits what Philly is
going to like to do. |
|
|
| London gets:
$300K |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: P Boyd |
|
|
| Delmarva is glad to add a
player they want for cash, while London is glad to get something for a guy
they don't want. |
|
|
| May 30, 2022
Update |
|
|
| Vermont gets:
J Nash |
|
|
| Richmond gets: 2023 E3 |
|
|
| Vermont would rather have the
trainable backup QB now, versus a maybe sleeper shot next year. Makes sense. |
|
|
| Seattle cuts:
S Hayaski, S Weeks, D Rowley |
|
|
| Weeks and Rowley had a career,
but it's probably just about over. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
L Elwell, D Wark, N Wire, L Peine, D Seiders |
|
|
| Probably not many guys on this
list that'll get picked up elsewhere. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: A Leavitt |
|
|
| Not sure he'll be there when
the games kick off, but he's going to be there for the preseason at least. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: L Galarza, Q Knoy, M Nasif |
|
|
| Two guys who got some decent
minutes at times for the Blitz. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
L Schmyik, A Cruz |
|
|
| Two guys here who had a long
career that is probably over, too. |
|
|
| March 31, 2022
Update |
|
|
| The training camp roster
moratorium begins now. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: M Kingseed |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: E
Rooney, B Guyton, 2023 E1, $1M |
|
|
| Kingseed is clearly the guy
Philly wants to run their offense. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: F Duethorn, C Allen, N Nikitas, C Halbert, W Patterson |
|
|
| Maybe one or two of these guys
get a look down the line. Maybe. |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: D Seiders, E Kampczyk, L Elwell, D Wark, A Bocti |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts: M Mannetti, E
Ekebi, P Sokol |
|
|
| I mean, it's old guys who
aren't going to make the roster, and then camp fodder. Typical pre-camp
maneuvering. |
|
|
| March 26, 2022
Update |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: E2-22 |
|
|
| London gets: J Leach |
|
|
| Philly is going for a lot of
camp fodder. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: E3-4 |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: L Booth |
|
|
| Lincoln gets a guy who is
likely to make their 30-man for a pick that probably isn't. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: P Crapo |
|
|
| Well, E2 sleeper shots will at
least cost a few bucks. |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
D Rowley, S Weeks |
|
|
| Probably camp fodder, though
Rowley could help Seattle's depth a bit. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: E3-21 |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: L Venus |
|
|
| Venus is a guy who can play
and develop a little, and Philly didn't have a roster spot for him. |
|
|
| Lincoln signs:
J Pucci |
|
|
| Pucci's been around, he'll be
fine for the Lightning. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
W Collins |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: D Kreis |
|
|
| I mean, probably no spot for
Kreis in Houston, but Philly wins this trade. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: F Duethorn, M Eckard |
|
|
| Philadelphia cuts: E Kampczyk,
M Hafley |
|
|
| Camp moves here. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: L Humphries, F Guthrie |
|
|
| Houston gets: R Danforth |
|
|
| With how Houston plays they
need a backup WRLB in general. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: G Conquest, E Ott, D Johnson, O la Rose |
|
|
| Not sure the plan here. The 2
ldsp guy especially |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: R Polato |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: H Hanson, P
Ruscio |
|
|
| Hanson is the fastest guy in
this trade, but Polato might be the best. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs sleeper: WRDB E Rooney |
|
|
| A little bit of luck goes a
long ways, I guess. |
|
|
| March 22, 2022
Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: B Spielman |
|
|
| Spielman isn't any guarantee
to make the roster, but he knows the system having been there before. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: E3-6 |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: L Jones |
|
|
| The surer thing more valuable
to the Fatmen than the sleeper shot. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: E White |
|
|
| He's bounced around a bit. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: E3-20 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: S Graves |
|
|
| Graves started his career in
Baltimore, so this makes sense. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: E2-15 |
|
|
| Washington gets: O Karenten |
|
|
| I mean, you're dumping (small)
guaranteed salaries for sleeper shots. It makes sense. |
|
|
| March 18, 2022
Update |
|
|
| Washington
gets: E2-23, 2023 E1/2/3, 2024 E1, H Roth, S Engelberg, J Mueller, G Sassard,
Q Villa, C Mead, $2M |
|
|
| New York gets: E Quickmon, R
Benefield, C Faes |
|
|
| Quickmon is the best player in
this blockbuster. But Washington may not be any worse in 2022. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: C Justice, 2023 E2 |
|
|
| Florida gets: I Lyons, B
Soskin |
|
|
| Not quite as explosive as the
Quickmon trade above, but Washington is adding 2023 assets here. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: B Cortright |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: J Fitzgibbons, J
Kelly |
|
|
| Both teams get something of
value to them here. |
|
|
| March 15, 2022
Update |
|
|
| New York cuts:
D Rowley |
|
|
| Not sure Rowley will get
another job somewhere. Maybe camp fodder? |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
E1-24 |
|
|
| Texas gets: W Pratch |
|
|
| Delmarva is building a
perennially contending team and is doing it on a pretty strict budget here. |
|
|
| Florida gets:
E1-12 |
|
|
| London gets: 2023 E1 |
|
|
| I like this move for Florida,
get the talent now. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: C Seraphim |
|
|
| Seraphim is a nice addition
for a Fatmen team that wasn't that far away, despite their record. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: T Stoss, D Sochowitz |
|
|
| I know the plan is
"2023" for Philly, but there's no way they're not trying to get a
little further this year anyways. |
|
|
| Florida signs:
T Iosua |
|
|
| Desperately needed line help
in Florida. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets:
E1-11, E1-21 |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: E1-5 |
|
|
| Lincoln needs talent, and
there's a risk in that 11 could be a bit worse than 5, but 21 probably makes
up for that. |
|
|
| March 13, 2022
- FAFFA Second Round wins |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
H Rachner, E2-11 |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: R Evers, L
Fleming |
|
|
| Evers is going to start
hopping around a little, it seems. |
|
|
| Vagabonds
sign: J Lippman, J Daviault, M Ogwynn, G Day, K Ellis, D Henderson, E Brooks,
G Halbig, G Rauls, V Sweeton |
|
|
| H Garner, R Thomas, B Parsons,
J Napierala |
|
|
| The Vagabonds filled out an OK
roster on the cheap here. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: J Parker |
|
|
| Parker gives the Fatmen a good
1-2 DS group. |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
W Trudeau |
|
|
| Trudeau will start for the
Cybercats. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: A Carlton, C Allen, K Haydis, J Conner, J Waldron |
|
|
| Philly is gunning for a
playoff spot this year (that isn't a 6-10 back into a crossover spot). |
|
|
| Ohio signs: T
Bradford, A Rendfrey |
|
|
| Ohio is playing for broke.
They might go broke, but they're going for it. |
|
|
| New York
signs: B Tomlinson, L Schmyik, R Andrews, C Rhodes |
|
|
| Rhodes and Tomlinson were
signed here with the intent of them making the 30-man. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: T Points, T Rhodes, R Zier |
|
|
| I mean, it's all backups, but
Baltimore needs the bodies. |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: L Peine, M Razaq, N Wire, E Ekebi, J Graham, M Mannetti, P Sokol |
|
|
| It's mostly camp fodder, but a
couple guys (QBs) can make the 30-man. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: S Bagbey, G Wilson, J Chapman, K Jones, D Giles, A Distorbo, J
Meriwether |
|
|
| A list of names that used to
be something here. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: G White, J Ferraira, M Winberg, J Cocherell, J Jones |
|
|
| Richmond does see things
differently from other owners. |
|
|
| March 6, 2022
- FAFFA First Round wins |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: L Ruff, A Moore |
|
|
| Two guys who have played a lot
of OIFL football, and that's what Delmarva likes to get on the cheap. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
signs: D Silverstein, D Greywacz |
|
|
| Interesting change of pace for
the Racers. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: K Vickenlooper |
|
|
| The Matadors are always
working to get those short term fixes and improvements to fill out around
their core guys. |
|
|
| New York
signs: A Cruz, A Song, R Marshall, T Lucena, M Jacobs, M Schweiger |
|
|
| These all fit the NY style. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: W Collins, P Stark |
|
|
| Philly is going to spend some
of that cash here. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: M Pica, D Gerlack, P Bierwirth, D Owens |
|
|
| After the pile of retirements,
Richmond needed bodies. |
|
|
| Ruidoso signs:
J Greene, R Sebree |
|
|
| I think you might see a style
shift here with the Kids. |
|
|
| Texas signs: D
Murphy, E Yates |
|
|
| One's a potential Cox
replacement, one's a long-time Terror coming home for one last ride. |
|
|
| Washington
signs: J Matich, A Byron |
|
|
| A second kicker on a 30-man
roster makes sense. |
|
|
| OIFL Vagabonds
sign: P Kwiatkowski, T Lee, B Babcock, J Ferguson, D Colling, J Sullivan, O
Benlachen, B Gates, B Burke |
|
|
| R Pollman, T Maison, B Arryn,
C Andress, K Couto, M Orion, R Tucker, T Sanders, B Harris, C Custance |
|
|
| There are some players here,
but probably a couple holes left for the Vagabonds here. |
|
|
| Ohio signs: J
Kratofil, B Hauver, D Dunavin |
|
|
| Ohio's going all in this year,
and the cash may become a problem for 2023. |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
J Mayes |
|
|
| Mayes is a nice depth piece
for the Cybercats. |
|
|
| Eugene signs:
A Rodgers |
|
|
| Lamb is the guy there, but
Rodgers could give him a run in camp. |
|
|
| February 26,
2022 Update |
|
|
| Ruidoso cuts:
K Bucher |
|
|
| This is the worst contract in
OIFL history. |
|
|
| February 24,
2022 Update |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: H Clothier |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: C Brown |
|
|
| Philly certainly has enough
line depth to be able to use it to bolster other spots. |
|
|
| January 18,
2022 Update |
|
|
| Richmond gets:
2022 OH E2, LA E3 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: A Semryck |
|
|
| I don't love this trade for
Richmond. Probably need to keep the strong young talent on the roster and try
to build that. |
|
|
| Week 20 Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: B Smith |
|
|
| Smith has played in the Mean
Machine system before, which was a key reason to add him when guys went down. |
|
|
| Week 18 Update |
|
|
| New York cuts:
V Sweeton, B Harris |
|
|
| Sweeton will probably be an
injury pickup guy for the rest of his career, which given that ldsp won't be
much longer. |
|
|
| New York signs
(Week 19): M Heflin |
|
|
| Need the body! |
|
|
| Week 17 Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: W Slevin, B Harris |
|
|
| New York cuts: E White |
|
|
| Slevin has been around the
block a few times, for sure. |
|
|
| Ohio signs: B
Crawford, T Coutch |
|
|
| Ohio cuts: H Blessig, C Allen |
|
|
| I can see Allen finding his
way back to Ohio later, as he could be developable…just not when you're
trying to win the OIFLCup. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: M Mannetti |
|
|
| Philadelphia signs: E White |
|
|
| This is obviously a future
play here, as White will be around a lot longer than Mannetti. |
|
|
| Week 16 Update |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
R Zier |
|
|
| I can see Zier getting a look
somewhere else. |
|
|
| New York
signs: V Sweeton, E White |
|
|
| Jeff will not leave a roster
spot empty under any circumstances. And in Sweeton, he gets a guy who's
played a lot of snaps. |
|
|
| Week 14 Update |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: W Patterson, C Halbert, E Kampczyk |
|
|
| Philadelphia cuts: F Porter, J
Cocherell, B Rodriguez |
|
|
| Philly is looking for guys who
will help win a title in a few years. These guys probably won't. |
|
|
| Week 12 Update |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: W Collins |
|
|
| Philadelphia signs: C
Satterwhite, L Jones, M Hafley, L Venis, A Barber |
|
|
| And away we go… |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: H Rachner, C Brown, P Alkaranafil, DMV E1, LA E1, RIC E2, LA E2 |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: T Bell, R
Heller, J Shea, T Sanders |
|
|
| Can't say I'm surprised the
memory of Sanders' old contract is exorcised from Philly as soon as new
management took over. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: J Mackey, E1 |
|
|
| Ohio gets: D Lee |
|
|
| Delmarva gets Heller to go
with Heller, Ohio gets Lee to go with Lee…that won't cause the commissioner
any confusion, I’m sure. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
T Bradford, 2023 E1 |
|
|
| Ohio gets: D Early, G Sunu |
|
|
| Ohio does need a couple more
bodies on the line, so this may well end up working out for them. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: K Thornton, E2 |
|
|
| Ohio gets: D Ladd, J Owen |
|
|
| Ohio's going for broke here,
it appears. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: C Faes, WAS E1 E2 E3, S Isaacs |
|
|
| New York gets: V Tyler, C
Pierce |
|
|
| Gotta say I didn't think
Washington would ever get rid of a long-time guy like Tyler. |
|
|
| Seattle gets:
R Braskett |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: 2022 E3, P
Hamilton |
|
|
| Braskett may not be thrilled,
but he went from a non-playoff team to a contender, even if he went from
starting to backing up. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: O Karenten, R Stockdale, S Graves |
|
|
| Philadelphia cuts: G Rauls, K
Haydis |
|
|
| Graves was a backup that saw
the field in Baltimore for a number of games, so this could be a nice
addition. |
|
|
| Week 10 Update |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
D Raber, J Sullivan |
|
|
| Richmond signs: J Matthews |
|
|
| Raber has played quite a bit,
so a bit of a surprise. |
|
|
| Portland cuts:
L Colton |
|
|
| If more injuries, he could
return. |
|
|
| Week 9 Update |
|
|
| New York cuts:
M Heflin |
|
|
| Heflin is a guy I'd look at if
I needed linemen right now. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: W Hoss, J Allen |
|
|
| Two guys who may get work in
quickly, as Richmond has done this a few times with guys. |
|
|
| Vermont cuts:
M Winberg |
|
|
| Winberg has gotten some work
with the Storm, and may come back upon injury again. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: R Sebree |
|
|
| That's a name I haven't much
noticed here. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: B Crawford, J Napierala |
|
|
| Two guys who have had good
careers, but are probably close to the end. |
|
|
| Week 8 Update |
|
|
| Texas cuts: J
Pucci |
|
|
| I mean, three kickers is
overkill. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: J Higginbotham |
|
|
| Richmond cuts: B Nordhoff, A
Barber |
|
|
| Richmond is very active in
moving the roster around to try and get the right mix of guys for the future. |
|
|
| Week 7 Update |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: D Cole |
|
|
| Richmond cuts: C Maugham |
|
|
| Maugham's a first ballot hall
of famer, but all we've got left are the memories. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: J Napierala, B Crawford |
|
|
| These are very classic
Nestor-style pickups, veterans who still have something left for the back end
for a few weeks. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
B Harris |
|
|
| He may find his way back there
by year's end. |
|
|
| Week 6 Update |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: H Lowenstern |
|
|
| Richmond cuts: E Kalp |
|
|
| Kalp was at the tail end, and
this was probably only a matter of time. |
|
|
| Week 5 Update
- August 7, 2021 Update |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
P Sokol, T Stallworth, E Collins, J Higginbotham |
|
|
| Richmond signs: C Isby, R Zier, B Nordhoff, K Neighbors |
|
|
| Richmond has stayed active -
some of the moves haven't made much sense, but these mostly do. Sokol will
not be unemployed long, though. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
M Hafley, B Spielman |
|
|
| Hafley will stay on the Mean
Machine radar, as he's exactly the type of guy they'll bring in a couple more
camps until he could work out. |
|
|
| Portland cuts:
L Venis |
|
|
| Makes sense, if an injury hits
I can see them bringing him back in. |
|
|
| Texas signs: J
Pucci |
|
|
| They're not going to get
caught without a kicker. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: T Stallworth, P Sokol |
|
|
| Los Angeles cuts: B Crawford,
J Napierala |
|
|
| They're not standing pat with
a team that could still make noise. |
|
|
| Week 4 Update
- 7/30/21 Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: M Heflin |
|
|
| This is the type of guy who
could make a long career at the back of NY's roster. |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: B Harris |
|
|
| He won't be there too long,
but they like bringing in experienced guys as injury substitutes. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: C
Satterwhite |
|
|
| He was only there until he got
better, so this was no surprise. |
|
|
| Week 3 Update
- 7/23/21 Update |
|
|
| Portland
signs: T Rhodes |
|
|
| He's a lot older, but he may
be better than their hurt kicker when he's back. |
|
|
| Mexico City
signs: B Arryn |
|
|
| Arryn probably should be
getting a little better deal, but such is life of midseason cuts. |
|
|
| Week 2, 2021 -
7/14/21 Update |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: K Ishwer |
|
|
| Los Angeles cuts: J Daviault |
|
|
| I can see Daviault being back
in Los Angeles down the road. |
|
|
| New York
signs: D Rowley |
|
|
| New York cuts: A Byron |
|
|
| New York always populates the
bottom end of the roster with guys who have done it before, but may not be
able to at the same speed. |
|
|
| Washington
cuts: J Miller |
|
|
| I mean, he got an extra week's
pay by being hurt. |
|
|
| Seattle gets:
P Hamilton, O Wolfe, E3 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: E
Latapie, M Duvall, E2, $3M |
|
|
| Interesting move here - Duvall
could get playing time immediately, especially as McHugh has improved
defensively. |
|
|
| Seattle cuts:
O Wolfe |
|
|
| Yeah, this was just a way to
save Vancouver Island a few more bucks in the trade. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
T Rhodes |
|
|
| Well, "fires" is the
term used in the email. |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
J Allen |
|
|
| Allen does seem to be a
Robb-type guy. |
|
|
| Week 1, 2021 -
7/8/21 Update |
|
|
| Texas cuts: D
Murphy, L Jones |
|
|
| The cuts are tougher each
year, it seems. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
B Hudson |
|
|
| Houston cuts: R Zier |
|
|
| Hudson's a guy Houston has
looked at before. |
|
|
| Portland cuts:
L Wyllie, M Veys, E Harrison, L Paul, B Wirkkala, K Ishwer |
|
|
| Portland had a few guys that
weren't going to make it long-term there. Ishwer is one who may get a look. |
|
|
| Washington
cuts: H Garner, K Quinn, W Huddleston, E Brooks |
|
|
| We're seeing these guys who
have had decent or even long careers get axed here. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: W Brockson, L Kellar |
|
|
| Richmond cuts: L Smith |
|
|
| Kellar is a guy who has
already been through camp there, so it's an easy call when needed. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: A Moxon, I Kljavin, H Simpson, C Carmichael, W Patterson, O Gruter |
|
|
| Los Angeles signs: B Crawford |
|
|
| Well, I think you can see that
"potent" preseason offense and see Kljavin and Patterson get
walked. |
|
|
| Ohio cuts: O
Dobbins, L Zadovsky, B Arryn, J Porter, D Rowley |
|
|
| Porter was a very long time
Ohio backup RB, so there are changes being made here. |
|
|
| Chicago gets:
R Mansaur |
|
|
| Portland gets: A Cruz, M
Razaq, R Ledbetter, $2.5M |
|
|
| Interesting enough trade, but
I think Chicago ends up happiest here. |
|
|
| Chicago gets:
D Nickels |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: B
Rodriguez, E3 |
|
|
| Nickels is better than
Rodriguez, but Rodriguez is the backup kicker and is less expensive. So it
makes sense. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: D Riegel |
|
|
| Riegel was never going to see
the field on that roster. |
|
|
| Chicago cuts:
J Pucci |
|
|
| To go from "starting for
the defending champs" to "out of a job" quickly |
|
|
| Eugene gets: A
Torres, B Harris, J McPherson, E2 |
|
|
| Chicago gets: C Wind |
|
|
| The Blues just reload. |
|
|
| Mexico City
cuts: J Conner |
|
|
| Another veteran getting the
axe. Someone like a Lysoby would be dreaming of the playoff roster he could
build with old guy cuts… |
|
|
| Eugene cuts: J
Taylor B Harris |
|
|
| They just got Harris, this may
also be a "cut now to save the $750K FG incentive" deal |
|
|
| Vermont cuts:
S Graves, K Christianson, S Haverman, L Haywood |
|
|
| Vermont had a glut of
defensive specialists, so it was a fairly easy set of moves. |
|
|
| Week 1, 2021
Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: P Rose |
|
|
| New York is a very veteran
friendly team, the likes we maybe haven't seen since the Lysoby days. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
B Burke, W Slevin |
|
|
| Slevin has had a long career
in a number of places. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: B
Crawford, B Hudson |
|
|
| Crawford has had a pretty good
career, but it's coming to a close here. |
|
|
| Mexico City
cuts: C Tyler, B Herman, B Kregal, M Jacobs, J Conner |
|
|
| We're seeing a number of guys
who had good careers in these last cuts. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: J Leach, F Porter |
|
|
| There's a need for bodies
there, and well - these are bodies that could play minutes. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: A Hayda |
|
|
| One of the ways this LA run
has seemingly "never ended" is these kinds of pickups that will
inevitably play well for the Matadors in two years. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
D Kreis, R Ogden |
|
|
| Houston cuts: J Parker, W Hoss |
|
|
| I'd have bet money Houston
would come in strong for Kreis. |
|
|
| Lincoln cuts:
E Pollman, W Schaffer, E Lenihan, T Rush, G Day |
|
|
| Rush and Day may have jobs
somewhere throughout the season. |
|
|
| For the others, the one Dollar
General in Canal Fulton here was open between 3:15-6:00 PM due to staffing
issues. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
cuts: J Rogers, C Fetter, D Kelly, B Roman-Ayers, J Mayes |
|
|
| Even for a team like Indy,
cuts are tough. |
|
|
| Preseason Week
2, 2021 Update |
|
|
| Houston cuts:
J Dawson, M Webber, C Cole |
|
|
| Houston signs: A Vogel, F
Guthrie |
|
|
| Houston never stands pat with
the roster. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: E Ekebi |
|
|
| New York gets: $300K |
|
|
| Clothier did get hurt last
year, so a backup like Ekebi will be of high value. |
|
|
| Richmond gets:
C Riffert |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: E2, 2023 E3 |
|
|
| Riffert is going to start for
Richmond right now; he may not be there too long, but he's a guy who will
play for them now. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
cuts: R Brown |
|
|
| This is not a player that's
going to ever see a regular season down in the league. |
|
|
| Lincoln cuts:
O Kocman, A Larsen, I Levy, D Alexander, M Lindsey |
|
|
| Some older players that could
get a look elsewhere, but not a long one anymore. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: S Pacal, R Brill |
|
|
| Every year we have
"names" that get cut, players that everyone's heard of. But is
there anything left in the tank? |
|
|
| Washington
cuts: O Karenten, W Patterson, M Quisada, A Czerna |
|
|
| A couple guys that need more
camp work somewhere. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: A
Hayda, L Peine, C Halbert, H Bangtson, T Clardy |
|
|
| More names, a couple there.
Peine's been with the Terrors for a few years, too. |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
B Nordhoff, T Tichenor, D Kreis |
|
|
| Richmond will always have a
very active roster, but Kreis is a surprise here. |
|
|
| Vermont cuts:
H Sanders, L Davis, J Peach, B Rivera |
|
|
| Just not sure Rivera has much
in the tank, either. |
|
|
| Mexico City
cuts: C Vogelsong, E Stiles, B Anderson, J Palmer, W Johnson |
|
|
| I mean, it was going to be
mostly quarterbacks with their draft. |
|
|
| Chicago cuts:
K Neighbors, L Nash, C Osbourne, W Brockson, D Cole |
|
|
| That Chicago team is still
pretty loaded… |
|
|
| Preseason Week
1, 2021 Update |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
M Grondin |
|
|
| Probably a big overpay, but he
had a heck of a FA camp. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
C Maugham, R Ogden, E Kampczyk |
|
|
| Maugham is a first ballot hall
of famer, period, end of story. His story, though may end here. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
B O'Dell, B James |
|
|
| Names, for sure, but well past
their prime now. |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
D Gozzola - Seattle cuts: Z Angol, L Richetti |
|
|
| They're both on the wrong side
of mid-career, but both will have jobs by Pre-2. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: C Maugham |
|
|
| He's very very long in the
tooth, but he will give Richmond good snaps. |
|
|
| June 14, 2021
Update |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
J Leach, B Thorn, F Guthrie, D Robertson, H Cole, P Lammers, K Shober, L
Kellar, A Vogel |
|
|
| There's a plan there, it
appears. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
K Iburg, L Nosbish, C Zippler, K Denzer |
|
|
| Not a list of guys who have
much of a future here. |
|
|
| June 10, 2021
Update |
|
|
| So I was a bit
slow on getting the camps done this year. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
G Momon, A Citro, J Matthews, E Diallo |
|
|
| All guys who did things in
this league, but probably aren't doing many more of them. |
|
|
| Seattle cuts:
B Blaze, J Nunez, W Wichert, D Winston, F Van Denberg, B Anderson |
|
|
| Well, three more like above.
But, this happens every year, guys get old. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: W Locke |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: E1 E2 |
|
|
| So, Delmarva gets next year's
50 camp bonus guy here. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: M Baker |
|
|
| Baker had a strong FA camp, so
why not? |
|
|
| March 21, 2021
Update |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: J MacLagan |
|
|
| He's a backup kicker, but
Baltimore added some flexibility with the Metzger trade. |
|
|
| Mexico City
cuts: A Mayor, E Burkett |
|
|
| They were solely sleeper
shots, having 13 QBs in camp still (or whatever it is) is still probably
adequate. |
|
|
| Washington
cuts: G Whiteway, E Newcomer, F McSwain, R Stillwell, J Godd, S Lodmell, W
Simon, J Maddox, J Dawley, H Huskey, |
|
|
| H White, S Eide, G Skystead, J Mills, J
Holt, B Brown, R Jackson |
|
|
| I guess maybe a couple camp
bodies in here, but nothing more. |
|
|
| Texas gets: K
Murphy, G Kuppers, J Krivenko |
|
|
| New York gets: V Nostran,
restructured contract (TEX pays $900K) |
|
|
| Nostran just wasn't a fit in
Texas, and hadn't been for awhile. |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
M Baker |
|
|
| The moves will continue. |
|
|
| New York
signs: T O'Brien |
|
|
| O'Brien falls under the classic New York camp invite
that'll make the team. |
|
|
| Chicago cuts:
E Renner, G Shallenberger |
|
|
| A lot of guys getting cut that
probably won't see daylight. |
|
|
| March 15, 2021
Update |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: R Brill, S Pacal, J Daviault, D McKinley |
|
|
| These are camp bodies. |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
M Gilpin, C Isby |
|
|
| The Richmond waiver wire is
going to be very busy throughout. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
T Tichenor, D Renix |
|
|
| Yeah these won't be the last
of the E4 picks cut. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
A Excell |
|
|
| And he won't be, either. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: J Higginbotham, H Cole, D Robertson, T Tichenor, R Guthrie, K Shober |
|
|
| And definitely another example
of how Richmond's going to be very active in signings. |
|
|
| March 11, 2021
Update |
|
|
| New York gets:
M Metzger |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: $4M, M
Mueller, K Vickenlooper, 2022 TEX E2 |
|
|
| Baltimore kinda had to do a
cash save trade here. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
E Wood |
|
|
| Congrats, the first cut of
this year's draft class! |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: J Napierala, I Kljavin |
|
|
| Not sure either makes the
roster by kickoff. |
|
|
| New York
signs: J Matthews, E Diallo |
|
|
| I'd say probably the same
here. |
|
|
| March 7, 2021
Update |
|
|
| London gets:
$2M |
|
|
| Seattle gets: E2-15 |
|
|
| There's someone in there that
Seattle really wanted, apparently. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
J Felder, D Giles, E Diallo, J Welker, T O'Brien, M Grondin, J Napierala, I
Kljavin |
|
|
| There's a few guys here that
will get a job somewhere. |
|
|
| Washington
(yes I typed D.C. first) gets: E3-16 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: $50K |
|
|
| Breakers are in a financial
crunch, so unless the guy's certain to make the roster, they'd rather not pay
any extra cash. |
|
|
| March 4, 2021
Update |
|
|
| Richmond gets:
D Kreis, T Stallworth, M Baker |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: N Crain, E3 |
|
|
| Not a bad first trade for
Richmond; Crain's a guy the league is very high on, but Kreis is also pretty
good. |
|
|
| Richmond
signs: D Raber |
|
|
| Good inexpensive veteran
addition. |
|
|
| Vermont signs:
S Haverman, L Haywood, B Hagler, D BrownLee |
|
|
| Haverman has very little left
in the tank at an elite level, but he's going to show it in the same place he
started his career. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
J Dawson, J Parker |
|
|
| Low risk deals here for the
Marshals. Probably also low-reward deals. |
|
|
| London gets:
2022 E1 |
|
|
| Vermont gets: E1-14, E2 if
that E1 above is picks 6-10; E1 if that E1 is a top five pick |
|
|
| London decided their roster is
fairly young right now, so they'd rather kinda push back to next year on the
picks. |
|
|
| New York gets:
E1-15 |
|
|
| London gets: 2022 E1 E3 |
|
|
| See? |
|
|
| Seattle gets:
E1-21 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: 2022
E1, $1M |
|
|
| Same type of thing, the Blitz
have a young team and kind of want to push back on this. Cash helps, too. |
|
|
| New York gets:
2022 E123 |
|
|
| Washington gets: E1-18 |
|
|
| The Insiders…I gotta get used
to that…had a target. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
E1-19, P Alkaranafil, W Locke |
|
|
| London gets: J French |
|
|
| The free agency pile made this
trade something the Legacy could do. French will play a lot of minutes in
London. |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: C Riffert, N Shito |
|
|
| Made French a little easier to
move. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
E1-22, E3-9 |
|
|
| London gets: C French, R
Stockdale |
|
|
| London made the shift here to
getting some "current" talent. |
|
|
| February 21,
2021 Update |
|
|
| New York cuts:
D Raber |
|
|
| Doing the veteran a solid,
offering him a shot to get a job elsewhere. |
|
|
| New York
gets: 2022 E2 |
|
|
| Texas gets: L Jones |
|
|
| Moving parts around, New York
has a plan as always. Not exactly a
steep price for the Terrors, either. |
|
|
| Richmond cuts:
A Kruse, S Pacal, N Shito, D Boll, T Maison, G White, P McGrain, C Riffert, D
BrownLee |
|
|
| New sheriff in town, and
things are getting moved around as a result. |
|
|
| Chicago signs:
C Osbourne, L Moran, W Brockson, B Harris, M Whalen |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: E Kampczyk, T O'Brien |

|
|
| Ohio signs: H

Halbert, J Tuioti, J Wells |
|
|
| Washington

|
|
| February 2,
2021 Update |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: 2022 E1, $2M |
|
|
| Florida gets: VAN's four E2s
in 2021 |
|
|
| Nice deal both ways, getting
something of useable value here. |
|
|
| January 24,
2021 Update |
|
|
| D.C. gets:
E2-19 |
|
|
| New York gets: N Haze, E4-14,
E4-15 |
|
|
| Haze will get the tag, and
then probably start in New York. |
|
|
| Week 19/20
Update, 2020 |
|
|
| D.C. signs to
futures contracts: B Brown, M Quisada, O Karenten |
|
|
| They'll then have 30 days from
the end of the aging process to see if they're going to get a 50% guaranteed
(or better) deal. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: D Giles |
|
|
| Giles was only there to fill
out a 30-man roster, and now they have 31… |
|
|
| Delmarva signs
to futures contracts: M Grondin, R Ogden, I Kljavin |
|
|
| New York signs
to futures contracts: R Clemente, B Burke, D Murphy |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs to futures contracts: W Patterson, A Moxon |
|
|
| Week 17
Update, 2020 |
|
|
| Ruidoso signs:
W Huddleston |
|
|
| Don't think they're gonna want
to need a bunch of kicking in this playoff game. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
A Juarez |
|
|
| Juarez was only there until
they had enough guys healthy again. |
|
|
| Week 16
Update, 2020 |
|
|
| New York cuts:
J Tuioti |
|
|
| He was only there while
Krivenko wasn't, so this was a quick move. |
|
|
| Week 14
Update, 2020 |
|
|
| Vermont cuts:
T Cunningham |
|
|
| This was never a long-term
thing, but hey Cunningham got a couple more touchdowns! |
|
|
| New York
signs: A Juarez |
|
|
| New York cuts: B Smith |
|
|
| Juarez is a guy I've always
liked, that could just never get a job in the league. Certainly won't be
getting a starting job here, of course. |
|
|
| Florida signs:
F Porter |
|
|
| Just so he can get hurt, I'm
sure. |
|
|
| Week 13
Update, 2020 |
|
|
| New York
signs: B Smith |
|
|
| Smith is going to get snaps,
maybe a lot of special teams, but this will be a place he can end his career
with a shot at a ring. |
|
|
| Vermont signs:
D Gozzola |
|
|
| Need a backup, and one that's
kinda the same style as your usual starter isn't a bad idea. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: C
Affinito |
|
|
| Just was never quite the fit
it needed to be. |
|
|
| Ohio signs: J
MacLagan |
|
|
| Yeah, not exactly the same
type of kicking game going to happen here. |
|
|
| Week 11
Update, 2020 |
|
|
| New York
signs: J Tuioti |
|
|
| They need a body, and Tuioti
is that. |
|
|
| Denver gets: T
Maison |
|
|
| Florida gets: L Credille |
|
|
| Maison will fit a little
better as Crain's backup in Denver, while Brake is hurt. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
T Rush |
|
|
| Rush could find a job
elsewhere again, wouldn't be a big shock if he did. |
|
|
| Week 10 Update
- September 4, 2020 |
|
|
| Vermont signs:
T Cunningham |
|
|
| Smart to get a veteran in
there to get things ready. |
|
|
| Florida signs:
A Chiaranda, K Gibbs, M Thompson |
|
|
| When other guys get healthy,
Chiaranda may not be the cut. |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
B Nordhoff |
|
|
| They like having two kickers,
especially when we're back to 30 active. |
|
|
| London gets: E
McCarty |
|
|
| Denver gets: N Crain, N Shito,
E2 |
|
|
| Shito doesn't really get them
younger, but Crain is a guy who could lead Denver in rushing for many years
down the line here. |
|
|
| Houston cuts:
B Smith |
|
|
| He's running out of
opportunities to do anything. |
|
|
| Denver cuts: S
King |
|
|
| King may find a job somewhere
else. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
cuts: J Tuioti |
|
|
| Tuioti isn't a bad player at
all, but Indy's doing a complete youth movement here. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
signs: D Giles |
|
|
| Gotta have a couple backs. |
|
|
| Week 10 Update
- August 30, 2020 |
|
|
| Denver cuts: d
Poole |
|
|
| There are things Denver needs,
and right now a backup trick play OS that's old isn't one of them. |
|
|
| Week 9 Update
- August 29, 2020 |
|
|
| Chicago cuts:
A Torres |
|
|
| Well, it's not as beat up now. |
|
|
| Week 8 Update
- August 19, 2020 |
|
|
| Chicago signs:
A Torres |
|
|
| Torres will help a team whose
DS corps is getting beat up. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
C Murdock, R Andrews |
|
|
| London gets: F Harris, W Ryan,
W Conner, W Brielmeyer, 2022 E1/2 |
|
|
| Kinda surprised Houston's
transitioning this to something of a "win now and only now" thing,
though with a significant cost savings. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
S Wright, B Smith, C Cole, R Stockdale |
|
|
| Houston cuts: J Sullivan |
|
|
| Well, there's roster spots
open in Houston now. |
|
|
| Mexico City
gets: L Browning |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: $5M |
|
|
| I know the Matadors were in a
real bad financial spot, but they'll hate this move going forward. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
$100K |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: D Nair |
|
|
| Indy should be jumping on
opportunities to get young guys for just cash, which they have plenty. Not
Fort Mac plenty, but plenty. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: $3M |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: T Granlund |
|
|
| It's a lot of cash, but Indy
needs young talent, and Granlund is young talent. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
cuts: W Hoss |
|
|
| Hoss wasn't going to develop
into much. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
C Duncan |
|
|
| Mexico City gets: 2022 E3 |
|
|
| Just a roster move to finish
out the spots. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
W Hoss |
|
|
| Hoss , though, gets another
shot. |
|
|
| London cuts: M
Grondin |
|
|
| He's actually a guy Steve
could pick up next offseason. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: H Simpson, C Carmichael |
|
|
| They have names, for sure.
Probably not long-term answers to any question, but LA needs more line depth. |
|
|
| Week 7 Update
- August 12, 2020 |
|
|
| New York
signs: G Kuppers |
|
|
| An interesting deal, Kuppers
definitely needs work. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: R Stockdale |
|
|
| He will find a job on a team
that has time to develop him. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: W
Patterson |
|
|
| He might take longer to find
work. |
|
|
| Denver signs:
A Kruse |
|
|
| Kruse may not play, though if
it gets ugly against Baltimore he may, but it's a short-term assignment
because d'Ed Poole isn't much of a QB. |
|
|
| Week 6 Update
- August 8, 2020 |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: T Rush |
|
|
| Rush has been around a few
places. |
|
|
| London gets: D
Herr, S Ginez |
|
|
| New York gets: T Rogers |
|
|
| London's still in that spot
where the moves to be made are really for next year. This move is another of
those, though Herr probably doesn't stay. |
|
|
| New York
signs: C Mead |
|
|
| So when was the last time
Mexico City had a cut that went elsewhere? |
|
|
| Denver signs:
L Kellar, H Black, F Guthrie |
|
|
| Finally filling out the roster
in Denver. |
|
|
| New York gets:
B Blind, E3 |
|
|
| Florida gets: J Tuia, C
Justice, $250K |
|
|
| Interesting move, though Blind
isn't going to be there when Florida gets good. |
|
|
| Week 6 Update
- August 4, 2020 |
|
|
| Vermont signs:
D Sepulveda |
|
|
| He's a fix for the next 7
weeks, nothing more, nothing less. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
J MacLagan |
|
|
| Sepulveda could just be a fix
for the next 7 hours, now. |
|
|
| Week 5 Update
- August 1, 2020 |
|
|
| Texas signs: M
Dowling |
|
|
| It won't be long-term as when
everyone's healthy he's back gone, but Dowling will get another shot for some
tape. |
|
|
| Mexico City
cuts: C Mead |
|
|
| It's a numbers game sometimes. |
|
|
| Week 4 Update
- July 25, 2020 |
|
|
| Mexico City
cuts: J Rohr, B Smith, H Black |
|
|
| Well, Smith got a catch in his
last game if I recall correctly. |
|
|
| Ohio cuts: A
Juarez |
|
|
| Juarez is a guy who's been on
so many rosters. |
|
|
| Week 4 Update
- July 22, 2020 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: D
Gibson |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: R Evers |
|
|
| Well, no hard feelings from
this week's game then. |
|
|
| New York
signs: J MacLagan |
|
|
| With a 30-man roster, New York
isn't gonna get caught with their pants down and no kicker if Zbinden gets
hurt. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
R Hollenback, M Monzano, J Sullivan |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: L Tiernan,
W Hoss, T Sullivan, B Heath |
|
|
| Indy's perpetual rebuild
continues here. There are good developable pieces here. Houston won this
trade by a margin, though. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
cuts: R Auger |
|
|
| Now, can Auger get a job
somewhere else? |
|
|
| Houston signs:
R Zier |
|
|
| Good addition on the cheap. |
|
|
| Week 3 Update
- July 17, 2020 |
|
|
| Mexico City
signs: J Rohr |
|
|
| Rohr's got a lot of experience
in multiple spots, so this is a good injury time replacement for the Aztecs. |
|
|
| Reno cuts: E
Brooks |
|
|
| Yeah, probably should have
gone for a FA somewhere here. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: H Koga |
|
|
| He'll be up and down on this
roster as the season goes and guys get hurt. |
|
|
| London gets:
E3, $200K |
|
|
| Mexico City gets: J Conner |
|
|
| I'm a little surprised at
this, as Conner played key minutes, but it is cheaper than a cut. |
|
|
| Week 2 Update
- July 6, 2020 |
|
|
| D.C. signs: J
Fitzgibbons, J Larson |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: D Gozzola, G
Kuppers |
|
|
| Gozzola just didn't develop
how DC wanted him to. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
B Heath |
|
|
| Houston cuts: E Kampczyk |
|
|
| The moves in Houston happen
even with a win. |
|
|
| Mexico City
signs: K Jones, C Kettlewell |
|
|
| Mexico City cuts: R Clemente,
M Dowling |
|
|
| Dowling still needs a bit of
work, but I don't think this is the last we've seen of him. |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
B Nelson |
|
|
| Seattle always a fan of adding
more young depth. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: P Parker |
|
|
| Baltimore cuts: C Dueker |
|
|
| Baltimore is in contention
now, the goal is to get guys to help win now. |
|
|
| Week 1 Update
- July 4, 2020 |
|
|
| New York cuts:
C Kettlewell, H Simpson |
|
|
| I think both of these guys
could find jobs elsewhere. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: B O'Dell |
|
|
| Maybe not a long-term thing,
but O'Dell will shore up the offensive line at least. |
|
|
| Reno cuts: D
Cole, K Jones |
|
|
| Backup QBs have trouble
getting jobs. KC Jones will have trouble getting a job. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
signs: A Winsor |
|
|
| Indianapolis cuts: R Zier |
|
|
| May as well get the younger
guy with a lot more upside. |
|
|
| London cuts: C
Zippler, L Lundy, M Heflin, J Daviault |
|
|
| There's a couple guys that
could get a look elsewhere. |
|
|
| Mexico City
cuts: B Nelson, B Heath |
|
|
| Compared to last year,
incredibly tough decisions here, too. |
|
|
| Eugene cuts: F
Guthrie, A Chiaranda |
|
|
| Chiaranda is a guy Eugene may
decide to bring back into the fold here in the future. |
|
|
| Week 1 Update
- July 3, 2020 |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: C Cole, R Ogden, B Burke |
|
|
| These are guys the Fatmen
probably would've kept in past years, so there's a statement on their
progress. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: I
Kljavin, C Halbert |
|
|
| Just not missing a lot there. |
|
|
| New York
signs: D Raber |
|
|
| He's going to take a hit from
the Baltimore deal, but this is why guys want the money guaranteed. |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: A
Kruse |
|
|
| A bit of a surprise, but they
want a little more financial flexibility, so longtime starter Kruse gets the
axe. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: R Philbrick, R Sims |
|
|
| The team is young enough, they
don't need projects that badly. |
|
|
| Chicago cuts:
G Shallenberger |
|
|
| Another young guy that just
has too far to go. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: A Winsor, L Sacks, E Mickler, B Brown |
|
|
| And United has also improved,
there are guys here other teams may want. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
cuts: D Hamilton, D Giles, D Murphy, G Salati, J Allen |
|
|
| I don't think their moves will
end here. |
|
|
| Week 1 Update
- July 1, 2020 |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: C Cooper |
|
|
| D.C. gets: PHI E3 |
|
|
| I mean, a backup OS is
probably not a huge need, but an E3 isn't much of a price. |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: D Raber |
|
|
| I don't love it, but I get it.
That's a large payroll. |
|
|
| Preseason Week
2 - June 26, 2020 Update |
|
|
| D.C. signs: A
Czerna |
|
|
| The Conspiracy have made a
very good life by finding some of these diamonds in the rough. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
L Slagle, D Wingate |
|
|
| Not sure if they're still good
enough to get a job, but these are two guys who have played awhile in the
league. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
cuts: O Karenten |
|
|
| There's a lot of young guys
that are developable, and Karenten's getting a bit long in the tooth to be
one of them. |
|
|
| June 19, 2020
Update |
|
|
| New York cuts:
A Czerna, A Hubbard, J Tyseling |
|
|
| Tyseling is a fine player, but
a backup OS isn't gonna get a job all the time. |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: T
Cunningham, D Sepulveda, H Reiss |
|
|
| A list of guys that used to be
something. |
|
|
| D.C. signs: G
Kuppers |
|
|
| Another young lineman to take
a shot at building up. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: H Koga, L Graper, E1, E2 |
|
|
| Fort Worth gets: D Greywacz,
NY E3 VAN E3 |
|
|
| Well, they got their
quarterback. This one is a huge move for United fans. |
|
|
| New York
signs: F Zbinden |
|
|
| Long term replacement, I'd
guess. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
R Stuart |
|
|
| Florida gets: D Abou-Assaly, K
Anthony |
|
|
| For a sleeper, DAA has moved
around a lot. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
R Ellena, E Kampczyk |
|
|
| Houston cuts: A Edwards, C
Custance, J Larson, A Torres |
|
|
| Torres is a guy who should get
a job elsewhers. |
|
|
| June 3, 2020
Update |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: K Ludeman, T Osborn, F Anthony |
|
|
| Three guys that used to have
it, but no longer do. |
|
|
| Florida signs:
M Frank |
|
|
| Frank's going to start and
quickly for the Tuskers. |
|
|
| Florida cuts:
D Fuller, W Huddleston, M Quisada, F Poley, L Kellar, K Gibbs, J Hankin, B
Denley, D Pevehouse, T Rush, L Nosbush, A Moxon |
|
|
| So, am I gonna accidentally
type Sacramento, Los Angeles, or Georgia on one of these? |
|
|
| May 29, 2020
Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: H Simpson |
|
|
| Always trying to work all 30
roster spots. |
|
|
| Seattle gets:
D Revalee |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: W Collins,
J Shea |
|
|
| Interesting trade, probably
doesn't change a whole lot. |
|
|
| May 27, 2020
Update |
|
|
| New York cuts:
R Dawson, E Guthrie |
|
|
| Dawson could be a guy that
gets a look somewhere. |
|
|
| New York
signs: S Isaacs |
|
|
| He's just not getting any
sniffs, so he's gotta take an offer that he gets. |
|
|
| Seattle cuts:
P Bierwirth |
|
|
| It's a tough call, but you're
a contender, sometimes you have to make tough calls. |
|
|
| Texas gets:
$250K |
|
|
| Seattle gets: J Nunez |
|
|
| Seattle isn't resting on its
laurels. |
|
|
| London gets: L
Lundy, J Daviault, SEA E1/2 |
|
|
| Seattle gets: L Keesee |
|
|
| That would be one way to stop
worrying about if your draft pick next year is gonna be a good player. |
|
|
| Mexico City
cuts: M Frank, K Iburg, J Payton, E Kampczyk, G Kuppers, J Rohr |
|
|
| There's a mix of never weres,
never will bes, and used-to-was guys here. |
|
|
| Mexico City
signs: A Phelps |
|
|
| Mexico City cuts: F Zbinden |
|
|
| Phelps is certainly better
today, but he certainly won't be tomorrow. |
|
|
| May 23, 2020
Update |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
$500K |
|
|
| London gets: J Loftin |
|
|
| It's still a half-soft rebuild
for the Monarchs, but this is a good move for them to keep from having to
fight for a useful guy. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
B O'Dell, C Carmichael, E Diallo |
|
|
| There are a few teams that
should be looking at these cut lists pretty closely. |
|
|
| Seattle cuts:
J Glosup, E Dekeater, D Szilagyi, S McGinty, C Weingardner |
|
|
| Now most of these may not be
the types of guys those teams need to look at. |
|
|
| Seattle gets:
$250K |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: F Doby |
|
|
| Interesting, Delmarva wasn't
really looking to be in asset acquisition mode, but they felt there was an
opportunity here. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
A Citro, A Phelps, B Meisinger, R Bush |
|
|
| Probably a list of guys who
don't have what it takes anymore. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
J French, E5-18 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: F Doby, J
Meriwether, E Calderon |
|
|
| And there was the opportunity. |
|
|
| New York gets:
C Hewitt, R Dawson, D Wingate |
|
|
| London gets: Comp E1, E4-8, I
Chavayda, M Grondin, G Langford, M Heflin |
|
|
| This is another one of those
semi-rebuild moves for the Monarchs; Hewitt is the best player in the deal,
but Chavayda isn't an absurd dropoff. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: L Browning |
|
|
| Not the most total dollars,
but the most per-year and he gets to FA quicker. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
cuts: D Foglio, J Mari, L Harlan, D Ueberjohn |
|
|
| Indianapolis signs: L Ulrich,
R Auger, R Zier |
|
|
| Look, it's a bad roster, but
they're trying to use the FA pile to get better. |
|
|
| March 21, 2020
Update |
|
|
| Vermont signs:
B Webb, B Rivera, S Graves |
|
|
| Nice pickups considering we're
past the FAFFA stages. |
|
|
| March 15, 2020
Update |
|
|
| New York cuts:
J Burgess, L Browning, M Lovelace, K Parker, A Fleming |
|
|
| We're not losing a lot here. |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
J Daviault, J Glosup |
|
|
| Seattle may be just going for
camp fodder, but it's Robb's history that every guy that makes camp has a
shot to make the gameday. |
|
|
| Mexico City
cuts: J Fitzgibbons, R Clemente, R Ellena, T Cudd, O Fairless |
|
|
| Well yeah, none of them were
sleepers |
|
|
| March 9, 2020
Update |
|
|
| D.C. gets:
E4-15 E4-20. E5-12, E5-13 |
|
|
| Eugene gets: $100K |
|
|
| D.C. is going to have a war
chest next year if the sleepers make it past R3. |
|
|
| D.C. gets:
E4-21 |
|
|
| Ruidoso gets: A Emmons |
|
|
| Emmons is going to help
Ruidoso right now, and right now is the plan. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: E4-17, E5-17 |
|
|
| Ohio gets: $100K |
|
|
| DC can't have all the sleeper
shots next year… |
|

Update |
|
|
| New York gets:
E3-16, E3-27, E4-9 |

| Texas gets: $250K |
|
|
| Sleeper shots taken. |
|
|
| New York gets:
E3-26 |
|
|
| Brinkhaven gets: D Pevehouse |
|
|
| I like Pevehouse. He won't get
extra camp, but I like him. |
|
|
| Chicago gets:
$75K |
|
|
| Portland gets: E4-23, E5-23 |
|
|
| About four hours too quick,
though $75K is nothing, and you can still get camp fodder. |
|
|
| March 4, 2020
Update |
|
|
| Surprise, I
did one today… |
|
|
| Eugene gets: R
Kurtzman |
|
|
| Portland gets: E4-13, 2021 E3,
$1M, R Mansaur |
|
|
| Eugene's not taking too long
to reload this thing. |

Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: A Citro, J Tyseling |
|
|
| The FA pile is getting thin.. |
|
|
| Chicago signs:
J Pucci |
|
|
| Pucci has had a long career
for bad teams just north on US 41 there, so why not with a good one? |
|
|
| Vermont gets:
T Mack, B Spielman |
|
|
| New York gets: E3-4 |
|
|
| A little sleeper fodder for a
couple guys Vermont will use. |
|
|
| March 1, 2020
Update |

| Finally the
end of FAFFA, haha |

| February 29,
2020 Update |
|
|
| First leap day
roster update in OIFL history! |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
E1-24 |
|
|
| Chicago gets: J Owen, L Nash |
|
|
| Chicago is not content with
18-1. Not for a second. |
|
|
| New York gets:
S Maivia, T Mack |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: Q Knoy,
E2-19, 2021 E3 |
|
|
| I don't love this, but the
Blitz are desperately trying to get out of the tax, so I get it. |
|
|
| D.C. gets:
E4-22 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: $50K, $500K if
E4-22 is a sleeper |
|
|
| Sleeper fishing! |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: 2021 E2 |
|
|
| Brinkhaven gets: R Stuart |
|
|
| Now, the Blitz will have a
slew of draft picks next year… |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: J Kratofil, D Johansen, G Robles, J Westin |
|
|
| Chicago gets: B Schraeder, R
Ledbetter, R McIntyre |
|
|
| Something of a blockbuster
here, and this probably just about completes the "get out of tax"
sale in Nanaimo. |
|
|
| Eugene gets: J
Wisdom |
|
|
| Portland gets: E2-13 |
|
|
| Eugene's done a nice job of
completely rebuilding a lot of the roster without actually missing many
steps. |
|
|
| February 27,
2020 Update |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: J Yoshimoto |
|
|
| He's got negative value, you
just eat that. |
|
|
| London gets: P
Alkaranafil, E1-15, 2021 E1 |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: W Pratch |
|
|
| The arms race in the capitol
region has been fascinating. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: E1-17 |
|
|
| London gets: 2021 E1/2 |
|
|
| I guess Steve knows he's kinda
at capacity for young guys. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: D Brigham |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: 2021
E2, $500K |
|
|
| I don't think trading for cash
is necessary with the salary moves in Vancouver, but Brigham to Fort Mac is
giving that team some weapons. |
|
|
| February 26,
2020 Update |
|
|
| Denver gets: M
Brake, J Leach |
|
|
| Eugene gets: E1-5 |
|
|
| I see why you go with the more
established thing in Brake, but I also see why you go for the #5 pick in the
draft. |
|
|
| Texas gets: M
Orion, E2-17 |
|
|
| Ohio gets: N Whittington |
|
|
| So, Ohio's tired of not
winning OIFLCup games, and they're going for broke here. |
|
|
| Texas gets: L
Peine |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: T Mack |
|
|
| The first of what I anticipate
being a handful of moves designed to maybe not owe six billion in tax. |
|
|
| February 25,
2020 Update |
|
|
| And now we're
to the entry draft! |
|
|
| D.C. gets:
E4-12 |
|
|
| Texas gets: T Clardy |
|
|
| D.C. going for a sleeper shot
instead of a guy who could make the back end of their roster. |
|
|
| D.C. gets:
E5-5 |
|
|
| Denver gets: E Kalp, $750K,
$500K if E5-5 is a sleeper |
|
|
| Kalp is going to get a lot of
minutes in Denver. |
|
|
| February 21,
2020 Update |
|
|
| This might be
the last year "officially" for tax season woes. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: D2-4 |
|
|
| Vermont gets: T Blevins |
|
|
| An interesting trade; Blevins
fills a role for Vermont, while Baltimore has someone they want here. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
E1-1 |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: E1-4, D2-9 |
|
|
| A way to flip and keep a good
rook, while adding an asset. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
D2 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: E1-24 |
|
|
| Interesting deal here, but
LA's looking to save a few bucks after a couple of their signings here. |
|
|
| February 18,
2020 Update |
|
|
| D.C. signs: T
Clardy |
|
|
| He's coming in as a camp body,
but he's going to have a shot to make the roster there. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: D2-13, 2021 E1, R Ledbetter |
|
|
| Eugene gets: D1-15, E2-9,
E3-15, E4-15, E4-20, E5-12 |
|
|
| Interesting deal here. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: D2-27, E2-27 |
|
|
| Texas gets: K Phillips |
|
|
| This works both ways - Fort
Mac will get two roster guys, and Texas has a backup QB. |
|
|
| Texas gets: B
Sheldon, E2-9, E3-13 |
|
|
| Eugene gets: D1-17 |
|
|
| Eugene's looking at this
dispersal as a way to rebuild the roster without doing a formal rebuild. |
|
|
| Seattle gets:
B Blaze, P O'Meara, J Hollingsworth, $1M, E2-15, E2-21, E3-19 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: D1-19 |
|
|
| Seattle playing for keeps, I
see. |
|
|
| Vermont gets:
P Abrahamson, B Fortney, A Albano, T O'Brien, J Barnhill, D2-4, E3-4 |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: D1-27,
D1-31 |
|
|
| Philly knows they're close to
being good. Vermont is also getting some good depth here. |
|
|
| Chicago gets:
J Westin, D1-19, D2-20 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: M St. Germain,
D1-24, D2-24 |
|
|
| An interesting trade here, who
will end up with the best player in this one? |
|
|
| February 17,
2020 Update |
|
|
| So this was a
calm day. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
F Harris |
|
|
| The last FAFFA domino, and he
goes for triple what he's ever proven to be worth. |
|
|
| Houston cuts:
T Clardy |
|
|
| He'll get a job somewhere. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
D1, D2, $1.5M, P Alkaranafil |
|
|
| Houston gets: D1, D2, W Ryan,
J Logan |
|
|
| A little cost cutting for
Delmarva, and a bit of a move up in the dispersal. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
E1, D2 |
|
|
| Texas gets: W Wind |
|
|
| I see the point both ways
here, but it's definitely a cost savings. |
|
|
| New York gets:
D1-2 |
|
|
| Mexico City gets: D1-6, A
Zilanawala, K English, C Fernandez, E2-22, E3-14, E4-16, 2021 comp E2/3 |
|
|
| Mexico City cashes in here for
what will probably be Elliott Eades. Best player to NY, sure, but Mexico City
needed this infusion. |
|
|
| Mexico City
gets: D Dunavin, C Rhodes |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: $1M |
|
|
| I was wondering if there was
going to be an impact elsewhere of the $4M/year deal to Stackhouse. And there
was. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
M Lavergne, E1 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: D Kreis |
|
|
| Lavergne was the biggest loser
in the Stackhouse sweepstakes, and now Willy Robertson is. |
|
|
| Texas gets:
D2-27, E2-27, E3-27 |
|
|
| Vermont gets: T Baran, J Reese |
|
|
| Instead of sleeper shots,
Vermont is using those picks for players now. |
|
|
| New York gets:
E4-14, $1.175M |
|
|
| London gets: S Matua |
|
|
| This has been a wild day of
trades. |
|
|
| New York gets:
D Beard, $1M/sleeper with those picks |
|
|
| D.C. gets: D1-12, E2-21,
E4-24, E5-4/6/9/11/14/16/19/22/24/27, $2M |
|
|
| That…is a lot of sleeper
shots. |
|
|
| New York
signs: C Kettlewell |
|
|
| He's the type of guy who could
get a spot on this roster. |
|
|
| February 16,

|
|
| Vermont: D Shadden, J Law |
|
|
| January 26,
2020 Update |
|
|
| Portland cuts:
A Washington |
|
|
| Just an awful contract, and
it's best here to get out from under it as possible. |
|
|
| Vermont gets:
M Pouliout, R Hillitzer, R Moss, M Metz, E2-24, 2021 E4/4/5/5 |
|
|
| New York gets: D1-6, D2-6,
E5-27, E3-6, E4-6, E5-6 |
|
|
| I see the point of it, but New
York's going to get the best player in the deal with the D1-6. |
|
|
| January 20,
2020 Update |
|
|
| Vermont gets:
C Staley, S Hughes |
|
|
| Seattle gets: E4-27 |
|
|
| I mean, this is a blatant
salary dump, but Vermont gets two useful players for a late draft pick. It
works. Both project to play a bunch for the Storm. |
|
|
| January, 12,
2020 Update |
|
|
| First update
of 2020! |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
M Loiselle |
|
|
| They could very well get him
back at a lot less, which is why guys want the 100% guarantee and not the 20% |
|
|
| Week 18 Update
(2019) |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: R Jackson |
|
|
| He's a useful player still,
but LA's full with guys getting healthy again. |
|
|
| Ruidoso signs:
J MacLagan |
|
|
| Yeah I think one of those
weeks without a kicker is ample. |
|
|
| Week 17 Update |
|
|
| D.C. signs: D
Gozzola, A Wittemann |
|
|
| They need a couple bodies just
in case all hell breaks lose with injuries this week |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: C Mason |
|
|
| This is the end for the
long-time Wave Rider/Matador. |
|
|
| Week 16 Update
- November 9, 2019 |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: R Jackson, C Fetter |
|
|
| Two guys with a fair amount of
experience that can help at the back end of a bench. |
|
|
| Week 16 Update
- November 7, 2019 |
|
|
| Texas cuts: R
Auger |
|
|
| He did his job for that week,
'eh? |
|
|
| Houston cuts:
J MacLagan |
|
|
| One week rental, no surprise
here either |
|
|
| San Francisco
cuts: N Schopf |
|
|
| He was only there until the
Sharks hit 28 guys. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
A Wittemann |
|
|
| Part of the Mean Machine
wanted to not get the good injury roll, so they have an offseason to look at
Wittemann. The rest of them didn't. |
|
|
| Week 15 Update
- October 31, 2019 |
|
|
| Ruidoso cuts:
J MacLagan |
|
|
| This one was actually a
pregame cut Week 14. |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: J Meriwether, E Diallo |
|
|
| They gotta get a receiver or
two and fast. Clarke may be one now with the Diallo signing. |
|
|
| New York
signs: D Pevehouse, J Hankin |
|
|
| While it can be attributed in
theory to the "they're blowing it up a bit," these are pretty
standard Jeff signings no matter NYMM's record. |
|
|
| Texas signs: R
Auger |
|
|
| Auger is a solid guy to come
in on no notice for a team whose QB situation is in flux. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
J MacLagan |
|
|
| Need a kicker, especially with
that ball control slow it down offense. |
|
|
| Week 14 Update
- October 25, 2019 |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
R Jackson |
|
|
| Jackson could still help
someone a little bit. |
|
|
| Texas signs: B
Schmidt |
|
|
| It's a short-term deal, but
Texas needs a body there for a minute. |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: T
Fairchild, D Poole |
|
|
| Poole should be on a roster
somewhere still. Fairchild, not as much. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: M Dubroff |
|
|
| This team doesn't need a
veteran at the end of the bench at this juncture. |
|
|
| Ohio cuts: E
Kifer |
|
|
| Probably the most obvious call
there. |
|
|
| Week 13 Update
- October 19, 2019 |
|
|
| D.C. signs: d
Poole |
|
|
| Really shouldn't be a FA with
what he's all done in his career and how much his tank still has. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: C Mason, K Ludeman |
|
|
| Ludeman makes sense, but Mason
seems kind of like a testimonial match type of signing. |
|
|
| Mexico City
cuts: S Garz |
|
|
| He was a throwin on that Indy
trade they made. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: M Coulier |
|
|
| I mean, if an injury happens
maybe he gets a nod again as a 4th back, but the end of the line is very
near. |
|
|
| Week 12 Update
- October 16, 2019 |
|
|
| Well this
deadline was stupid. |
|
|
| Ruidoso signs:
J MacLagan |
|
|
| Yeah the kicker was needed
now. |
|
|
| Week 11 Update
- September 27, 2019 |
|
|
| The trade
deadline is now past. |
|
|
| New York
signs: M Muddleston |
|
|
| New York cuts: D Poole |
|
|
| Cheap guy at the back end of
the bench, it works. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
M Loiselle, C Copeland |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: V Tompkins,
J Matthews |
|
|
| It's a weird deal, but it
works for what both teams are trying to do. |
|
|
| Eugene gets: B
Sheldon, A Chiaranda, L Burtchaell, E2, $5.5M |
|
|
| Chicago gets: F Dukes, J
McPherson, J Kratofil |
|
|
| I'm actually a little shocked
at the move to replace Holcombe for this year, but Chicago's playing to win
the OIFLCup Game. |
|
|
| Eugene at least gets the
'hometown hero' in Damon Owens back under center for the playoff run. |
|
|
| Eugene gets:
$5M, V Shober |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: D Early, CHI E2 |
|
|
| And Eugene's out of the
hole. Now, they gotta win some games
so fans stay and they stay out of the hole. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
cuts: K Davis, J MacLagan, C Goergen, J Hankin, E Diallo |
|
|
| Indianapolis signs: J Sourati, G Salati, D Hamilton, B Hagler,
O Hrimnajh, J Allen, M Guiel, R Volk |
|
|
| These are moves to find young
guys who could be developable in the current FAFFA grid. |
|
|
| Week 11 Update
- September 25, 2019 |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
V Shober, R Jackson, E1 |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: B Steffey,
H Blessig, $520K |
|
|
| This is a very aggressive move
by a Philly team looking towards being a contender next year when some of
these contracts come off the books. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: J Sourati |
|
|
| Sourati is a guy who could
have a job somewhere next year. |
|
|
| Week 10 Update
- September 16, 2019 |
|
|
| Mexico City
cuts: M Stotts, S King |
|
|
| King is probably not who I'd
have cut there. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
D Nair |
|
|
| Nair's going to get paid, as
what happens when Houston starts bidding on someone. |
|
|
| San Francisco
cuts: K Jones |
|
|
| He wasn't here long. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
signs: J Sourati |
|
|
| Yeah might want a kicker 'eh? |
|
|
| D.C. signs: T
Fairchild |
|
|
| Hey, he was there for a
minute. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: B Schmidt |
|
|
| He could find work somewhere
still. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
D Sepulveda |
|
|
| He did his job, and ended it
with a GWFG. |
|
|
| Week 10 Update
- September 5, 2019 |
|
|
| New York gets:
S Engelberg, E2, E5 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: K Richardson |
|
|
| Richardson is an upgrade now,
and the Breakers are going for a title here. |
|
|
| Seattle cuts:
D Nair |
|
|
| He will not be out of work for
long. |
|
|
| Houston cuts:
N Thompson-Wood |
|
|
| Look for them to try to get
him back next week outside of RTR restriction. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
A Torres |
|
|
| This is a good pickup for the
Marshals. |
|
|
| New York gets:
RUI E2, K English, S Ginez |
|
|
| Houston gets: SA E3, C Cruise,
L Humphries |
|
|
| The trade's fine, but I'm
still not sure why Houston needed to blow it up with a young team. |
|
|
| Week 10 Update
- September 4, 2019 |
|
|
| New York
signs: A Wittemann |
|
|
| New York cuts: O Merson |
|
|
| It's kind of a lottery ticket,
so why not? |
|
|
| Indianapolis
gets: E4 |
|
|
| Mexico City gets: D Sin, S
Garz, S King, $752,500 |
|
|
| This is a trade that both
teams are probably happy with. |
|
|
| Week 9 Update
- August 30, 2019 |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: T Cunningham, M Guiel, C Fetter |
|
|
| I like Fetter more than most,
but this isn't a list of guys that'll make a team win a bunch now. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: J Yoshimoto, $4.5M |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: LA E3 |
|
|
| It's totally a salary-saving
move here for Indy. Yoshimoto helps the Blitz, especially with his salary
paid for for the most part. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
cuts: T Fairchild, V Sweeton |
|
|
| It's the end of the road, the
players accepted the cash to get out, and everyone wins. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
signs: J Mayes |
|
|
| Look, it's finding guys that
could develop into something at this point. |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: N Schopf |
|
|
| Yeah a kicker is a kicker at
this point. |
|
|
| Week 9 Update
- August 29, 2019 |
|
|
| New York
signs: K Vickenlooper |
|
|
| He's going to play, and will
probably finally get his shot to develop and stick somewhere. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
$3.5M |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: B
Thompson, A Distorbo |
|
|
| Two starters? Not as sure on
Thompson since Karter's there, but they both give the Fatmen significant
talent upgrades. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: O Hrimnajh, A Tribbey |
|
|
| The Fatmen are slowly
upgrading the roster, and in a smart way financially here. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
N Thompson-Wood, J Larson, W Hoss |
|
|
| I think this blowup by the
Marshals was a mistake, the team was already pretty young. But these two may
make something of themselves. |
|
|
| D.C. gets: Y
Hiruma |
|
|
| Houston gets: $1M |
|
|
| Houston can stop trading for
cash now, the roster's not going to go broke here. |
|
|
| D.C. gets: E2,
E5 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: M
Kingseed |
|
|
| Not sure why the Blitz need a
quarterback over other positions here. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
RUI E2 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: D
Henderson |
|
|
| This one makes more sense for
the Blitz. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
cuts: F Jackson |
|
|
| That's a guy who's not gonna
make it. |
|
|
| Sacramento
cuts: C de Kock |
|
|
| He's also not going anywhere. |
|
|
| Week 8 Update
- August 24, 2019 |
|
|
| Houston gets:
D Kreis, R Peck, D Abou-Assaly |
|
|
| Omaha gets: R dos Santos, A
Cruz, D Domenech, $1.5M |
|
|
| And the Blackhawks smell
blood. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
C Custance |
|
|
| Houston cuts: R Volk |
|
|
| I like the pickup here,
Custance could be a guy to develop. |
|
|
| New York gets:
H Roth, L Humphries, M Pouliout, J Barba, 2021 E1/2/3/4/5, $500K to DC clause
to Omaha |
|
|
| Omaha gets: E Eades, B O'Dell,
B Smith, W Slevin |
|
|
| New York decided this group's
getting old, it's not winning the Cup this year, so it's time to find the
next group. |
|
|
| And this is a good start
towards getting that next group. |
|
|
| New York gets:
I Chavayda, H Tomlinson, D Poole, R Moss, DC E2, E5, HOU E5, 2021 E1 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: K Sherman, D Beard,
C Cooper |
|
|
| When New York wants to start
over, Jeff don't screw around. |
|
|
| London gets: L
Yergeau |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: S Hasegawa,
$500K |
|
|
| It's not a blowup move, but
Hasegawa fits a little more of a need here. |
|
|
| New York gets:
E2, E4, E5, HOU E3 |
|
|
| Texas gets: S Haverman |
|
|
| Jeff's building a nice little
pile of picks here. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: R
Breshears |
|
|
| Not really a spot available
for him here with the Haverman move. |
|
|
| New York
signs: M Metz, C Justice |
|
|
| Hey, they kinda need bodies
now! |
|
|
| New York gets:
2021 E2, E5, $500K |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: C Carmichael, C
Reid |
|
|
| They're older now, but GM
Garrie Morris knows a lot about these two guys. |
|
|
| D.C. signs: G
Chitwood |
|
|
| He's a guy that can be
developed. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
K Vickenlooper |
|
|
| He's going to bounce around a
bit more, though heck NY could get him next week. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: Z Welker, N Haze, P McGrain |
|
|
| New York gets: Q Villa, Q
Knoy, R Hillitzer, E1/2/3/4/5, $5M |
|
|
| And just like that the
Rattlers are back to being real contenders again. |
|
|
| Week 7 Update
- August 13, 2019 |
|
|
| New York cuts:
M Muddleston |
|
|
| He may still have some gas in
the tank to help someone. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: B Schraeder, $500K |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: P Goodwin, H
Lord, I de Orta |
|
|
| This is a deal that'll keep
WRDB about the same, but get things down the line away from a RB/OS
situation. Jones better develop defense :D |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island signs: M Guiel, C Fetter |
|
|
| Blitz fans probably happy with
that previous trade; these guys have both played before, too. |
|
|
| Ohio signs: S
Taumoe'anga |
|
|
| He's got something left to
help a team that desperately needs some line help here. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
signs: K Davis, C Goergen |
|
|
| God knows they need line help. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island signs: T Cunningham |
|
|
| He's not exactly a runner, but
I like the veteran signing here. |
|
|
| Week 6 Update
- August 9, 2019 |
|
|
| Took me long
enough. |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: K Jones |
|
|
| A nice backup type guy - there
are others I'd rather have. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
D Beedell |
|
|
| I think someone else brings
him in as an injury replacement, but Beedell's at about the end of the line. |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: J
Allen |
|
|
| The ldsp is a concern, but he
is a trainable piece that someone might grab sometime. |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: J Graham |
|
|
| There's your starter while
CC's out. |
|
|
| Week 5 Update
- July 29, 2019 |
|
|
| This is high
quality stuff from a PDF this week… |
|
|
| New York gets:
K Richardson, N Haze |
|
|
| D.C. gets: E Kalp, I Chavayda,
$500K at end of 2019 season |
|
|
| This is a list chock full of
guys who need a change in scenery. |
|
|
| New York
signs: D Beedell, M Muddleston |
|
|
| These are short-term signings,
almost assuredly. |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: M
Metz |
|
|
| He's a guy that more than a
couple teams would like to have. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
signs: M Coulier |
|
|
| I mean, you hope he doesn't
play, but since United keeps losing backs… |
|
|
| August 9 -
Mexico City cuts: P Matos |
|
|
| Matos is a guy who will
probably be on 3 more roster by year's end due to injury. |
|
|
| August 9 -
Omaha cuts: J Meriwether |
|
|
| He's also a guy who could find
work somewhere. |
|
|
| Week 4 Update
- July 18, 2019 |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: D Boll |
|
|
| Well, gotta have bodies. |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: D Sepulveda |
|
|
| Cortez was the guy with the
connection, but Sepulveda is better. |
|
|
| Mexico City
gets: K Murphy, D McBride, DC E1, OH E3, $500K |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: W Wind |
|
|
| Mexico City gets a pretty nice
haul, but the Legacy are playing to win now. |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: K Vickenlooper |
|
|
| Well, they had a roster spot
open up. |
|
|
| Week 3 Update
- July 8, 2019 |
|
|
| Hey we're back
live! |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: S Merriman-Thomas, N Chiricosta, E2 |
|
|
| Omaha gets: M Singh, H Hoffman |
|
|
| An interesting deal both ways,
between two teams that are probably both contending. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: L Peine |
|
|
| Texas gets: R Breshears, E4 |
|
|
| Breshears is getting passed
around a bit now. |
|
|
| Sacramento
signs: B Schmitt |
|
|
| Sacramento cuts: W Hill |
|
|
| Not losing a lot there, except
some money. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: B Schmidt |
|
|
| He's a nice add for a few
weeks. |
|
|
| Portland cuts:
J Cortez |
|
|
| Cortez will be on the radar if
other kickers get hurt. |
|
|
| Houston cuts:
A Torres |
|
|
| Also going to be on radars for
spots if they come needed. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: M Muddleston |
|
|
| An interesting cut here, too. |
|
|
| Week 2 Update
- June 28, 2019 |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: K Vickenlooper |
|
|
| He's clearly going to be one
of those guys who plays 11 years in the league, but doesn't become true
starter class until Year 8. Then ages out. |
|
|
| Omaha cuts: B
Schmitt |
|
|
| He may find a home quickly. |
|
|
| Houston cuts:
D Alexander |
|
|
| He may not. |
|
|
| Chicago cuts:
J Larson |
|
|
| A team who wants a
developmental young RB might look at him. |
|
|
| Ruidoso cuts:
G Salati |
|
|
| He'll have a job somewhere,
but maybe not till next year. |
|
|
| Ohio cuts: W
Hoss |
|
|
| His career is probably at DS. |
|
|
| Week 2 Update
- June 26, 2019 |
|
|
| Ohio signs: B
Rozier |
|
|
| Rozier's going to replace
someone, Ohio's buying the extra day to decide who. |
|
|
| Ohio gets: E
Spadafore |
|
|
| Seattle gets: C Weingardner |
|
|
| Definitely a homecoming for
the Cybercats, but Ohio is happy to add another solid DS to the fray. |
|
|
| Mexico City
signs: L Hilton |
|
|
| Mexico City cuts: M Raybold |
|
|
| Raybold's last gasp was one
game in Mexico City. Nah, he may get signed somewhere. |
|
|
| Week 1 Update
- June 21, 2019 |
|
|
| Houston signs:
W Robertson, T Bayfield |
|
|
| Houston cuts: P Sweeney, D
Escott |
|
|
| New York
signs: S Matua |
|
|
| New York cuts: J Mayes |
|
|
| New York masters in using
situational guys. Matua is definitely one of those, and excellent in his
situation. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
J Logan, H Blessig |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: LA E2,
E4, NY E4, E5, HOU E5, R Breshears |
|
|
| Definitely a cost cutting
move; Vancouver Island's offense will keep them in games by the speed of the
game, so they can afford this. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: C
Pierce, D Abou-Assaly |
|
|
| Huntington gets: W Trudeau, C
Isby, HOU E1 OMA E4 |
|
|
| This is a trade that makes
sense for both teams. Pierce brings Omaha the elite DB, and Huntington gets
an E1 out of it. |
|
|
| DC signs: M
Metz |
|
|
| DC cuts: M Teixeira |
|
|
| Metz helps them now, and they
are trying to win now. |
|
|
| DC gets: R
Crouse, HOU E5 |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: E1 |
|
|
| And they got their E1 back. |
|
|
| DC cuts: A
Wittemann |
|
|
| Gotta make room for Crouse,
who is considerably better. |
|
|
| Week 1 Update
- June 20, 2019 |
|
|
| Huntington
cuts: A Umemura, I Siskind, L Henay, A Hasler, W Casey, R Plante, E
Houseworth |
|
|
| Not seeing much of a career on
any of these guys. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: H
Roth |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: B Steffey |
|
|
| Omaha's gotta watch out they
don't outsmart themselves with all these moves. |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: D
Gozzola |
|
|
| Maybe in a different situation
he's keeping a job, but not yet. |
|
|
| San Francisco
cuts: V Siebert, M Lubotsky, C Franck, R St. Anzi |
|
|
| Not too much here, either. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: E Clifton |
|
|
| Fort Worth signs: T Mana Loa |
|
|
| This makes more sense. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: M Larkin |
|
|
| Yeah, easy call. |
|
|
| Portland cuts:
C Justice, D Beedell, S Taumoe'anga |
|
|
| Beedell is a first-ballot hall
of famer. But he's about triple his actual value, and was a free cut until
Friday. |
|
|
| Omaha gets:
HOU E1 |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: E Barnes, P
Abrahamson |
|
|
| Basically getting next year's
rookies now. I know they loved the E1, but Abrahamson+Barnes was too much for
them to pass up. |
|
|
| Omaha cuts: T
Bayfield |
|
|
| I mean, he's going to be on
someone's roster this year. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
cuts: P Apo, J Butler, R Pauly |
|
|
| Not hard decisions for the
Racers. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: B Hagler, F Porter |
|
|
| Porter's a surprise, but
backup OS by nature are expendable. |
|
|
| London cuts: C
Schimmel |
|
|
| I think this was just a miss
last night. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: W Robertson, J Erwin |
|
|
| It was almost Francis Anthony
in this spot. |
|
|
| Eugene cuts: J
Carnathan, R Hill, R Bray, G Jones, B Webb, S Matua |
|
|
| Matua will have a job for Week
1, I say. |
|
|
| Week 1 Update
- June 19, 2019 |
|
|
| Portland
signs: J Cortez |
|
|
| Awesome, the third 19th-year
guy is back on a roster. If only for a couple weeks. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: M Gritzer, J Hart, L Arundel |
|
|
| Clifton made the roster?! |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: C Wente, S Bollings, C Mason, C Hoxie, D Fry |
|
|
| I wondered if they could deal
with cutting the franchise icon Mason. His career is over. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: H Giles, D Unner, H Lawley, N Thompson-Wood |
|
|
| Not seeing much of a career
for any of these guys. |
|
|
| London cuts: G
Wharton, B Eckman, L Walter, J Brezsnyak, E Schwannecke, L Perry |
|
|
| Not a lot there to cut, to be
fair. |
|
|
| Ruidoso cuts:
B Rafighi, P Johnson |
|
|
| Two more guys who won't get
another job. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
Z Hoover, E2, E3, E4 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: J Mouton |
|
|
| Los Angeles is willing to pay
a price for marginal improvements in areas of need. They're a contender…they
SHOULD be willing. |
|
|
| Chicago cuts:
D Pevehouse, L Hilton, W Mitchell, C Custance, G McConnell, J Huff, A Smith |
|
|
| There's a chance a couple of
these guys get a look elsewhere. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: W Biemans, J Slomka, P McAuliffe, E Moneypenny, G Chitwood, A Lew, B
Montijo, D McConnell, D Drake, C Rastafari, S Ross |
|
|
| Could be the end for a couple
stellar careers…and a bunch of rookie fodder. |
|
|
| Houston cuts:
R Croxall |
|
|
| Blockbuster! |
|
|
| New York cuts:
N Schopf, J Graham, G Storrs |
|
|
| Schopf is another good young
kicker that may find work. Graham should be a starter somewhere still. |
|
|
| Ohio cuts: J
Yancy, V Jorgensen, M Coulier, L Cotton, L Slagle |
|
|
| This was a good list of
guys…the last three…a few years ago. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: T
Cunningham, K Ludeman, B James, L Adama |
|
|
| Incredibly difficult cuts, and
perhaps four guys who should be on rosters this week. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
W Ryan, L Clarke |
|
|
| Omaha gets: F Poley, T Maison,
R Peck, $3.5M |
|
|
| I'm not sure the deal makes
Omaha better. Doesn't make them worse, but does it make them better? |
|
|
| Week 1 Update
- June 18, 2019 |
|
|
| Our 19th Week
One. Wow. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
S Kutz, S Fleming |
|
|
| This is definitely Fleming's
end. Not as sure on Kutz. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
T Maloloyon |
|
|
| He may well have a home
elsewhere shortly. But at least Brian got to fire a kicker. |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: V Bushman, M Samuels |
|
|
| Samuels has done a lot for
Baltimore, but his time has come. Bushman won't do much for anyone. |
|
|
| June 15, 2019
Update |
|
|
| New York gets:
E5 |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: M
Muddleston |
|
|
| I like the move for Philly
here; maybe he's cut, but now you get him for sure this way for a low price. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: D Peaches, K Davis, A James, J Collins, W Church, G Gardner |
|
|
| Gardner surprises me a little,
as well as the Davis contract. But otherwise, it's about right. |
|
|
| DC cuts: D
Pruss, D Simpson, W Flexser |
|
|
| They aren't going to make it,
so let's clean up the roster for a minute now. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: E Gore, A Oliver, B Schmidt |
|
|
| Two of those names used to be
something. Two of them may well get signed somewhere else, too. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
gets: W Wilkes |
|
|
| New York gets: E5 |
|
|
| Wilkes is definitely going to
add to the United line. |
|
|
| Ohio gets: J
Diek, $3M |
|
|
| Houston gets: B Thompson, T
Sullivan, T Clardy |
|
|
| Houston is not sitting still. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
R dos Santos, S Ginez, D Henderson |
|
|
| Omaha gets: $3M, M Pouliout, S
Merriman-Thomas |
|
|
| This qualifies as a legitimate
blockbuster, with RDS making the move out of Omaha. Raptors-esque? |
|
|
| Houston cuts:
R Auger, E Bridges, C Fetter, T Mana Loa, E Thomas |
|
|
| Well, so…they've been busy,
and so guys who are useful don't fit here anymore. |
|
|
| June 12, 2019
Update |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island signs: P Dignan |
|
|
| Yeah they kinda needed one. |
|
|
| London cuts: E
Milligan |
|
|
| I mean, it was an easy cut. |
|
|
| June 9, 2019
Update |
|
|
| New York cuts:
R Logiovino |
|
|
| There's a relationship there;
when guys get hurt, Logiovino will get a few weeks' paychecks from New York,
and all are happy. |
|
|
| June 1, 2019
Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: G Langford |
|
|
| Hey, it's a long deal for the
league minimum, but it's also a guaranteed half-mil for a guy who was drafted
in E5 and cut… |
|
|
| Mexico City
signs: M Raybold, M Stotts |
|
|
| Mexico City cuts: A Cajka, F
Rapp, M Guiel, K Jones |
|
|
| Now they're the geriatric
crew? Guiel and Jones can find work elsewhere. |
|
|
| Mexico City
gets: P Matos, M Fly |
|
|
| New York gets: $300K |
|
|
| Well, now Fly has a shot to
hit some of those #2 marks. |
|
|
| May 29, 2019
Update |
|
|
| Mexico City
cuts: A Citro, J Rust, W Parker, J Segars, J Kilgore, H Lemke, G Galloway, F
Kennedy, D Morgan, B Rozier, M Metz |
|
|
| A couple of those guys, the
older ones, should get some play elsewhere. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
D Morgan |
|
|
| He may find work somewhere. |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
S McGinty |
|
|
| This is a strong signing for
Seattle's bench - McGinty's tank is far from empty. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island signs: E Lyall |
|
|
| Lyall starts from day one -
he's not going to be a superstar on Day 1, but the Blitz will be paying him
to be. An overpay today, but maybe not |
|
|
| by year three. Maybe. |
|
|
| May 26, 2019
Update |
|
|
| Seattle cuts:
C Betts, J Perry, M Stotts, A Tovar, R Perrin, D MacAfee, J Linzeth, F
Gottgens, K Koepke, J Cortez, M Jean, L Meis, D Sepulveda |
|
|
| Meis is a surprise just
because of the insane money still due him, but that doesn't make it the wrong
move. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
A Distorbo, A Torres, R Croxall |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: $800K, random
interchange in Dallas |
|
|
| Houston took last year as a
complete blow-up year; now, they're trying to build a strong team in a hurry. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
NY E4/5, $2M |
|
|
| Mexico City gets: M Dilworth |
|
|
| I get why having a veteran QB
is nice for a young team, but A.T. Citro is still there… |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
$150K |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: Z Hoover, W
Robertson |
|
|
| This might be the end of Carl
Mason, which…that's fair, he's pretty washed up. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
R Berger, R Rogan, R Thomas |
|
|
| We're going to see more of
these types of cuts, guys that just aren't good enough. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
T Eason, M Raybold |
|
|
| The risks of guys getting
older…Eason and Raybold definitely are missing a few steps. |
|
|
| April 16, 2019
Update |
|
|
| London signs:
B Rivera |
|
|
| Rivera's a nice veteran
addition for the Monarchs. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: A Fitzroy, F Schlitter, G Leyendeckers, J Smith, R Martz |
|
|
| After analyzing before camp,
some guys weren't needed. Some of
these players may have made last year's roster. |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: J Ferguson |
|
|
| Well, with sleepers all
divvied out, time to get the kickers a home. |
|
|
| Houston cuts:
C Christensen |
|
|
| Houston making moves to
contend in a rough division quickly here. |
|
|
| April 2, 2019
Update |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: A Goerke |
|
|
| There was gonna be one here. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: B Hudspeth, D Dallas |
|
|
| They weren't going to bring
anything to the table. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
E Lyall, G Langford, W Renner |
|
|
| Pretty clear-cut cuts here as
well. |
|
|
| Portland cuts:
R Hall, A Hernandez |
|
|
| They weren't going to ever
come close to making the roster here. |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
M Jean, J Vinkenbrink |
|
|
| Look, the Lon Meis thing
failed miserably. Seattle has cash, time to get a better long-term answer at
kicker, and ding! |
|
|
| New York
signs: N Schopf |
|
|
| New York cuts: E Ekebi |
|
|
| Zie's not old yet, but Schopf
may be here to replace him anyways. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
S Merriman-Thomas |
|
|
| Mexico City gets: 2021 E12345,
$500K |
|
|
| Mexico City is completely
punting on 2019, which may or may not make sense - it was a capped-out team
that didn't win much. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: E Gore |
|
|
| Gore is a guy who needs some
work, but in a couple camps could be decent. |
|
|
| D.C. signs: M
Teixeira, D Simpson |
|
|
| Teixeira could hit .325
or…wait, wrong Teixeira. This guy seems to be a mental case, but could be a
huge pickup if the ldsp can be fixed. |
|
|
| March 27, 2019
Update |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
D McBride |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: HOU E2,
RUI E2, $500K |
|
|
| Delmarva was hoping if they
hit a sleeper, it was a DS. Now, no need. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
T Rush, G Simmons, B Rivera, C Goergen, S McGinty, S Bergmann, D Hamilton, F
Grandjean, J Benavente |
|
|
| The required to get to 40 have
begun here, some older guy surprises for Delmarva. |
|
|
| Ohio gets: D
Rowley |
|
|
| Mexico City gets: 2019 E4,5,6,
2020 E1 |
|
|
| Rowley the key to this, as
Mexico City continues the gutting. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
J Temple, D Beard |
|
|
| Well, they're to 40 in the
timeframe, too. |
|
|
| March 25, 2019
Update |
|
|
| Chicago gets:
$600K |
|
|
| Portland get: E5-23, E6-7 |
|
|
| A little higher than most
prices for sleeper shots. |
|
|
| March 21, 2019
Update |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
E5-20, E5-24 |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: $200K |
|
|
| Standard sleeper shot trade
here. |
|
|
| March 19, 2019
Update |
|
|
| New York gets:
A Zilanawala, E Kalp, $1.5M |
|
|
| Texas get: B Brawn, B James, L
Adama |
|
|
| Interesting trade - Zilanawala
definitely fits New York better with the OS/RB they like to do. |
|
|
| March 18, 2019
Update |
|
|
| Indianapolis
gets: $600K |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: E3-28, E4-4,
E4-12 |
|
|
| The Legacy are adding sleeper
shots. |
|
|
| March 16, 2019
Update |
|
|
| New York gets:
2020 E3, E5 |
|
|
| London gets: E3-18 |
|
|
| Interesting move, London
wanting guys now. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: S
Ginez |
|
|
| London gets: E3-19, R Friedman |
|
|
| Omaha looking for the best
player today, and Ginez is that. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: W
Trudeau |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: M Killawa |
|
|
| The Founders also figuring out
where moves can be made to improve. Killawa gives Kirby a stronger weapon
than 2019 Porter. |
|
|
| March 15, 2019
Update |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: R Breshears |
|
|
| Though this deal is
guaranteed, this is a up-and-down that may happen again. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
E3-25, E4-24, E4-25, E5-25, E6-9 |
|
|
| Texas gets: $800K |
|
|
| Well, the Terrors aren't in
the need for more young depth; they're in the business of winning titles
right now. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: E2-25 |
|
|
| Texas gets: $200K |
|
|
| Philly has really turned
around their management of the team. |
|
|
| March 12, 2019
Update |
|
|
| New York gets:
E2-10, future considerations |
|
|
| London gets: future
considerations |
|
|
| Interesting, usually Steve
adds the young guys ASAP |
|
|
| Ruidoso gets:
R Kuntzelman |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: 2020 E2 |
|
|
| It's obviously a roster size
casualty, but Ruidoso gets a good player here. |
|
|
| March 10, 2019
Update |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: R Falk, E4, E5 |
|
|
| Ohio gets: J Jones, remaining
salary split |
|
|
| This is an excellent move both
ways - Ohio improves on the line, and Philly dumps a huge contract. Both
teams are happy. |
|
|
| March 9, 2019
Update |
|
|
| Houston gets:
E3-17, $500K |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: C Affinito |
|
|
| Good to see the Breakers
finally going for it. |
|
|
| March 8, 2019
Update |
|
|
| Omaha gets: C
Isby, E1-15 |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: M Singh, E2-5 |
|
|
| Interesting deal, I guess it
works both ways. |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: B Babcock |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: E5-15 |
|
|
| I mean, it's a sleeper shot,
but this is mostly saving a cut penalty for the Legacy. |
|
|
| New York gets:
E3-18 |
|
|
| Ohio gets: C Weingardner |
|
|
| Weingardner's well past his
prime, but Ohio needs line depth badly. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
E1-18, 2020 E3, $500K |
|
|
| Ohio gets: J Anko, T Bradford |
|
|
| Young guys, but I'm not sure
worth the E1-18 there. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: picks 63/73 (E3), $750K |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: E1-26 |
|
|
| Bill doing what he likes,
getting guys earlier in the draft. |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: T Lucena |
|
|
| Houston gets: K Anthony, E2-5 |
|
|
| Lucena is a good get for the
Rampage. |
|
|
| March 5, 2019
Update |
|
|
| Houston gets:
G Rauls |
|
|
| Mexico City gets: N Jensen, E
Deblinger, E2-20, E3-31 |
|
|
| It's not a huge pile of
goodies, but it'll work. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
D Boll, R Breshears, S Kofe |
|
|
| Guys who all got some work
last year, but aren't needed anymore. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
E4-19, $425K |
|
|
| London gets: S Hasegawa |
|
|
| Easy deal for the Monarchs
here. |
|
|
| Portland gets:
E1-12, E2-15 |
|
|
| London gets: E1-8, E3-8, E5-8 |
|
|
| London moves up, Portland gets
two guys who don't need to be a sleeper to make it. |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
J Linzeth, J Cortez, J Perry, M Stotts, K Kopeke |
|
|
| Not sure any of these guys get
jobs long-term, but they stay alive today. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: C Wente, B Schmidt, S Bollings |
|
|
| LA runs a master class on how
to stay effective with old guys. So Schmidt is virtually guaranteed a roster
spot… |
|
|
| Fort Worth
gets: O Quicksilver, E1-19 |
|
|
| London gets: E1-9 |
|
|
| Fort Worth was quick to make
this move, for sure. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
D1-something |
|
|
| Ruidoso gets: L Butler |
|
|
| Both teams are happy, so I'm
happy. |
|
|
| March 3, 2019
Update |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: R Heller, $6M |
|
|
| Houston gets: E1-1, E3-1 |
|
|
| I get it, I do. Philadelphia,
though, has just made a big statement. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: E2-5, E3-20, E4-5 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: 2020
E2, $250K |
|
|
| Philly putting some cash out
for sleeper shots here. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: D
Henderson, T Rhodes, E1-24 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: future
considerations |
|
|
| Wat? |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: D Lee |
|
|
| Omaha gets: R Friedman, E2-5 |
|
|
| Very quietly, Philadelphia is
building a really interesting team. |

J Mayes, M Mueller, P Matos, W Slevin |
|

(wow - that's really rare in this format) |
|
|
| Delmarva signs: J Owen |
|
|
| San Francisco signs: D Garrett |
|
|
| Fort McMurray signs: J Felder |
|
|
| That Dunavin signing was a
surprise; the Dockett one to a little lesser extent as well. |
|
|
| February 16,
2019 Update |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
E2-28, 2020 E5 |
|
|
| Houston gets: something down
the line |
|
|
| Hey, it's a strange league. |
|
|
| February 13,
2019 Update |
|
|
| Huntington
gets: D1-12, E2-12, E2-31, E3-3, E5-12, 2020 E2-3-4-5, J Floyd |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: D1-3, R
Kuntzelman |
|
|
| I think this one makes sense
both ways. Delmarva will get best player, but Floyd's a good consolation
prize, and sleeper shots. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
E1-2 |
|
|
| Texas gets: D1-3 |
|
|
| Indianapolis maybe the big
winner here, as they were hoping for the E1-20 pick at D1-4, and assuredly
Texas won't take that. |
|
|
| Texas gets: T
Baran, C Satterwhite |
|
|
| Houston gets: C Affinito |
|
|
| Texas clearly moving pieces
that aren't in long term plans for pieces that could be. |
|
|
| February 9,
2019 Update |
|
|
| Indianapolis
gets: E Diallo, E3-28 |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: K Weindruch |
|
|
| I'm interested to see what
Chris does with the Racers roster. |
|
|
| February 7,
2019 Update |
|
|
| Houston gets:
A Wund, S Svarth, J Diek, $1.5M |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: D1-2, S Kofe, C
Maugham, R Crouse |
|
|
| Maugham is a former Garrie
guy, so there's a connection there.
The D1-2 is the key to the move. |
|
|
| February 6,
2019 Update |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
L Nash |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: $1M |
|
|
| Nash is a long long time Bill
guy, but this team's trying to get younger and rebuild around Bordain, so off
he goes! |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: C Lattimore |
|
|
| Not screwing around; this
Breakers team is gunning for an OIFLCup. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: D Dodrill |
|
|
| Eugene gets: C Adams, E2 |
|
|
| Oh my - Dodrill gives Gunn
another weapon for a wild Baltimore offense. |
|
|
| February 3,
2019 Update |
|
|
| Houston gets:
PHI E2, 2020 NY E1-2-3-4-5, A Cruz, G Helm |
|
|
| New York gets: B Brawn, J
Tuia, $7M |
|
|
| The freespending Marshals have
returned. |
|
|
| London gets:
$250K, E4 |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: F Poley, C
Goergen |
|
|
| Steve's still got a lot of
good youth there; this London team will still make the playoffs, but it's a
one year step back. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
K English, T Lucena, E Thomas, C Maugham |
|
|
| Mexico City gets: H Black, M
Guiel, M Frank, 2019 PHI E2, 2020 NY E1-2-3-4-5 |
|
|
| Again - Will's going all out
now. John-Mark more than happy to oblige while trying a rebuild on the fly. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
gets: P Kopfstein |
|
|
| New York gets: $600K, E5-4 |
|
|
| Obviously Kopfstein is not
going to win OIFLCups, but he's going to be the bridge to Kelly while
Hiruma's gone. |
|
|
| February 2,
2019 Update |
|
|
| New York gets:
S Haverman |
|
|
| London gets: Something down
the road (2021 E2) |
|
|
| Steve's cutting payroll. Jeff's looking for Payton Dumont and Paulie
Reynolds to recreate the 2011 Sno-Dogs. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
C Eastmond, S Kofe |
|
|
| Mexico City gets: B Rozier, M
Metz, B Heath, C Mead, $1M |
|
|
| The relocated group knows that
roster wasn't winning, so a blow-up is imminent. |
|
|
| January 27,
2019 Update |
|
|
| Our 19th
year!!! |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: S Maivia, E1, VAN E4 |
|
|
| New York gets: N Stokes, PHI
E2, VAN E5 |
|
|
| Well, Wyandt's a two time
champ, but New York always looks for the future. Maivia is a good add for an
oft-beleaguered Blitz defense. |
|
|
| London gets: O
Quicksilver, C Blitzem, S Ginez, 2020 E1 |
|
|
| Omaha gets: E Peoples, L
Clarke, E3, $750K |
|
|
| Really London's not taking a
huge step back here, and getting rid of the LB issue that was Clarke might
help. |
|
|
| London gets: J
Silverstein |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: G Ward |
|
|
| Kind of a shuffling of backups
to places where they're more needed.
It works. |
|
|
| Week 20, 2018
Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: A Morre |
|
|
| They're not losing the East
because they lack a kicker sometime, let's just say that. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: B
Schmidt |
|
|
| He's a good player; if someone
gets hurt he may get a call. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: M Garbinsky |
|
|
| He was only there as a body;
if he played the Rattlers were in big trouble. |
|
|
| Week 21 - New
York cuts A Morre |
|
|
| Not as big a need as njuries
don't happen in the OIFLCup Game. |
|
|
| Week 19, 2018
Update |
|
|
| With the
obvious note that teams no longer playing don't have to worry about the
28-man limit with regard to injury. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
J Manzak, M Oliver |
|
|
| Someone else coming soon with
the Welker news. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: S
Fleming, C Ruble |
|
|
| Utility gone now that starters
are back. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: M Garbinsky |
|
|
| An interesting move there, I'm
not sure Garbinsky has anything left in the tank. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
J Felder |
|
|
| This one hurts, he was a part
of their future…but the OIFLCup Game is more important. |
|
|
| Week 18, 2018
Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: J Manzak |
|
|
| Manzak has bounced around a
little bit this year. |
|
|
| Texas signs: C
Ruble, S Fleming, B Schmidt |
|
|
| Nice to have useful players on
the scrap heap when you're missing half your starters. |
|
|
| Week 17, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: J Cortez |
|
|
| Yay the other 18th year guy
gets a job! |
|
|
| New York
signs: W Wilkes, M Oliver |
|
|
| Bodies required, bodies
acquired. |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
W Church |
|
|
| A guy who has gotten it done
in the past, and Seattle may need him to play sometime. |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: R Garrett |
|
|
| Another guy who has gotten it
done in the past, and the Sharks need him to play. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: N Chiricosta, C Daoust |
|
|
| A lot of cuts here as a bunch
of people got healthy at the same time. |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: J Spellman |
|
|
| Spellman's played in a lot of
games; I'm not sure I love this cut. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: C
Ruble |
|
|
| Texas didn't have much of a
choice; it was going to be a useful player getting cut. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: R Lee, C Morton |
|
|
| Unlike some other teams, the
Fatmen cuts were not guys they'd signed for injury. |
|
|
| Chicago cuts:
J Manzak |
|
|
| Another guy who may get picked
up elsewhere. |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
M Lewis |
|
|
| I guess PR wise it'd have been
nice to see him for the last game in St. Louis, but oh well. |
|
|
| Week 16, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Ruidoso cuts:
J Zagadaneca |
|
|
| Hey, he had a couple good
weeks. |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: E Diallo, R Breshears |
|
|
| Delmarva signs: S Fleming, R
Young |
|
|
| This is probably the end of
the line for one of the great backs in OIFL history. |
|
|
| Omaha signs: R
Young |
|
|
| He's not remotely the player
he once was, but there is plenty of history at least with the management
group here. |
|
|
| St. Louis
sign: J Kob |
|
|
| Hey, get a guy for two weeks
and first dibs on resigning. Smart. |
|
|
| Week 15, 2018
Update |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: M Bailey |
|
|
| Bailey's a solid backup that
may give the Sharks some good minutes. |
|
|
| Week 14, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: D Morgan, M Stotts |
|
|
| Well, they need depth - and
these guys are better than some of the Breaker backups. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: G Hoffert |
|
|
| Pucci's their guy, so Hoffert
goes back. |
|
|
| New York
signs: E Ekebi |
|
|
| New York cuts: M Oliver |
|
|
| Run of the middle
bottom-roster dealing |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: M Navarro |
|
|
| I mean, it wasn't going to be
an impact guy. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: G Hoffert |
|
|
| And that fills a desperate
need. |
|
|
| Week 13, 2018
Update |
|
|
| New York cuts:
J Kristen |
|
|
| Kristen wasn't a long-term guy
here, but since they had a spot they kept him around for a couple extra
weeks. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: C Daoust |
|
|
| He's on the "71
express" as we call 4-A baseball players in Cleveland (AAA affiliate is
in Columbus) |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: B Nordhoff |
|
|
| Easy call here, Nordhoff is a
good kicker still and the Legacy need one. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: B O'Neill |
|
|
| Tough call, but McMahon is
younger, so he gets to stay. |
|
|
| Ruidoso signs:
J Zagadaneca |
|
|
| Finally getting a kicker! |
|
|
| Week 12, 2018
Update |
|
|
| New York cuts:
W Slevin |
|
|
| See? |
|
|
| Chicago signs:
J Manzak |
|
|
| Manzak will fill a hole as
Chicago's line has a few of them right now. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: W
Wilkes |
|
|
| Wilkes might find a job
elsewhere. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: J Thiel |
|
|
| John-Mark's first signing is
not a major one. |
|
|
| Houston cuts:
K Mayes, B Nordhoff, D Albright |
|
|
| Houston signs: W Brielmeyer, S
Hasegawa, B Heath |
|
|
| Two of those signings have
just recently been elsewhere; Houston's paying attention to what the league
is doing in their bid to improve. |
|
|
| Week 11, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: S Hasegawa |
|
|
| He stuck around awhile since
the Squirrels kept getting hurt. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: D Jackson |
|
|
| Jackson can still help someone
in depth. |
|
|
| Chicago cuts:
W Brielmeyer |
|
|
| I know he's a kicker, but I
don't see him staying unemployed. |
|
|
| New York
signs: W Slevin |
|
|
| He won't last long. |
|
|
| Week 10, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: B O'Neill |
|
|
| They need a kicker since the
Harvey method isn't gonna fit them. |
|
|
| New York
signs: J Kristen, M Oliver |
|
|
| Solid backups that will help
them a bit in depth. |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: M
Bailey |
|
|
| Bailey's got the goods to help
someone. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
signs: G Hoffert |
|
|
| Hey, they won one without a
kicker, but didn't want to try two. |
|
|
| Evansville
cut: C Daoust |
|
|
| He'll get picked up somewhere. |
|
|
| Week 9, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: L Ruff |
|
|
| Ruff is effectively an injury
replacement for Traveon Beck, but I suspect he's not the one that's cut when
Beck gets back. |
|
|
| Week 8, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Texas signs: W
Wilkes, C Ruble |
|
|
| Bodies needed…bodies acquired. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
R Dangola, R Heller, E2 |
|
|
| Evansville gets: C Cuff, R
Peck |
|
|
| Apparently Sashi Brown is now
an OIFL owner. |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
R Breshears |
|
|
| I suspect with injuries they
try to stash him back for long-term. |
|
|
| Week 7, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Indianapolis
gets: E3, E4 |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: P Sweeney |
|
|
| Strange, as Sweeney might be a
future type guy, but the Legacy will take him. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
J Mouton, T Maison |
|
|
| Texas gets: K Ludeman, N Nash,
J Bullock |
|
|
| Texas cuts: J Bullock |
|
|
| Nash fits more of a need -
Texas is playing for keeps right now, so they need straight fits. Ludeman is
a clear backup for Crawford. |
|
|
| Delmarva should be happy with
their haul here as well. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
D Boll, J Anko, $1M |
|
|
| Houston gets: D Domenech |
|
|
| Basically, this trade flurry
is my penance for the week off. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
P Alkaranafil |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: S Heath, R
Friedman, $500K |
|
|
| Philadelphia cuts: S Heath |
|
|
| Definitely these types of
moves will get Philly turned around. Alkaranafil fits a need for Houston as
well, but at a high price. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
B Rozier, R Crouse |
|
|
| Omaha gets: C Blitzem |
|
|
| Youth must be the idea for the
Marshals. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
L Hilton |
|
|
| Houston cuts: D Vuich |
|
|
| Kind of a push though Hilton
can go two ways in a pinch. |
|
|
| D.C. gets: M
Bailey, K Makhoul |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: A Distorbo |
|
|
| OK, now I see it - Bill Lang
doesn't fit in an option offense anymore. |
|
|
| Chicago gets:
W Brielmeyer |
|
|
| Eugene gets: E5 |
|
|
| So it was a brotherly-love
rental. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: D
Greywacz |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: N
Stokes, E1, PHI E2, $2M, $2M if Omaha makes OIFLCup XVIII |
|
|
| With Buchanan back, I suspect
we're seeing the Blitz go back to the run option that James Bordain showed as
a rookie. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: W Church |
|
|
| He's going to probably find
his way to two more rosters as the year goes on. |
|
|
| Houston cuts:
L Hilton |
|
|
| Houston signs: D Albright |
|
|
| Well, at least Hilton had a
couple days… |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: B Schmidt |
|
|
| A little surprise, though
Schmidt's career just never worked. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: C Ruble |
|
|
| Ruble's going to be a fringe
guy until he hangs it up. |
|
|
| Week 6, 2018
Update |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: D Jackson |
|
|
| Body required, body acquired. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: D Albright |
|
|
| Albright is a good enough
young guy to get a look somewhere else. |
|
|
| Omaha signs: T
Bayfield, B Rozier |
|
|
| These are quality players to
find on the junk heap, and Omaha needs those. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: M
Killawa, E2 |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: R Jackson,
L Butler |
|
|
| I don't love the idea of
trading an early E2 for two soon-to-age guys, but Philly needs more today
talent. Killawa's a backup, so it
works. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
signs: J Collins |
|
|
| Philadelphia cuts: J Castle, A
Plewa |
|
|
| Philly can't cut all the bad
weight, but I think we're going to see more of these as they get cash to do
so. |
|
|
| Week 4 2018
Update |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: S Hasegawa, N Chiricosta |
|
|
| Ben, not a fan of these names. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
signs: R Albertini |
|
|
| A good choice on the short
notice. |
|
|
| Week 3 - July
24, 2018 Update |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: B Schmidt |
|
|
| This was the obvious choice
for depth when Moore got hurt. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: D Fry, C Ruble, J Tobin |
|
|
| Los Angeles cuts: W Robertson |
|
|
| Getting some veteran depth,
which they need. |
|
|
| London cuts: T
Kiwi |
|
|
| Tough call, as there were no
obvious cuts here. |
|
|
| July 21, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Huntington
cuts: G Qualley |
|
|
| Definitely a bust of a pick
with how his camps went. |
|
|
| Ruidoso cuts:
G Lambert, R Perez |
|
|
| The injury gave them two
openings for cuts, but it was still a no brainer. |
|
|
| July 19, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Happy 43rd
wedding anniversary to my parents! |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island signs: W Church |
|
|
| Definitely a solid pickup for
the short-term he'll be needed. |
|
|
| Ruidoso gets:
E Cohen, M Ogwynn |
|
|
| Omaha gets: B Stern |
|
|
| Stern is an elite-of-the-elite
OS for another year - obviously, the Blackhawks now feel their window is open
today. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: A James |
|
|
| James is exactly the veteran
type that the Squirrels like to pick up in these spots. |
|
|
| July 13, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: G Fox, B Gentry |
|
|
| May see one of these guys back
in Baltimore. |
|
|
| Ohio cuts: S
Green, J Ladd, B Story, J Kuttler |
|
|
| Nothing lost here. |
|
|
| Eugene cuts: K
Dorius, J Edenfield, M Manning, J Currier, C Santos, C Nordine, D Drake |
|
|
| Other than Drake, we have guys
who with about four FA camp workings might turn into a useful guy for a year
or two. |
|
|
| San Francisco
cuts: E Peterson, R Chandler, S Hasegawa, B Rozier, D Fry, R Malone |
|
|
| San Francisco signs: G Wilson |
|
|
| Wilson is an upgrade, and at a
good price. FA guys lack the ability
to get a lot right now. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: J Kob |
|
|
| Long name, but that's the only
notable thing. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
cuts: C Dennison, L McGeough, W O'Donahue, R Luce, C Mead, S Pappas |
|
|
| Probably could use to sign
about five FA and cut five more guys, but this is a start. |
|
|
| Portland
signs: D Drake |
|
|
| Portland cuts: E Ely |
|
|
| That did not take long. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
C Mead, C Satterwhite, E Deblinger, N Jensen |
|
|
| Houston cuts: J Lofton, W
Wilkes, R Aaron, B Gaulke |
|
|
| Interesting set of moves
there. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: J Spellman |
|
|
| Good pickup for the Breakers. |
|
|
| July 12, 2018
Update - Cut Down Day! |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
T Shepherd, R Smith, D Craven |
|
|
| There might not be as many
"wow" names getting cut as I thought a few weeks ago. |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: T
Maddox, J Angermeier, R Lovelace, P Street |
|
|
| Maddox and Street may have a
place somewhere, but D.C. is too good probably for it to be there. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: L Hilton, L Patel, F Pilarowski |
|
|
| OK, these are names, but not
sure the production meets the historical name anymore. |
|
|
| Eugene gets: W
Brielmeyer |
|
|
| Chicago gets: E5 |
|
|
| I'd probably have kept the E5
and signed a FA for the week, but Brielmeyer is a rookie. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: J Lightning, J Collins, C Gerhart |
|
|
| Evansville fondly pushes into
the sunset: J Yerkes |
|
|
| Yerkes is one of the all time
great OIFL players, and certainly one of the three best Squirrels, a vital
cog to two Squirrel OIFLCup wins. |
|
|
| He will be missed on the
field. |
|
|
| Houston cuts:
R Garrett, W Slevin, B Schmidt, L Ruff, T Mana Loa, T Hickey, J Dulisse, N
Chiricosta, E Diallo |
|
|
| And Houston's going to be
quite the young team. |
|
|
| Portland cuts:
D Alexander, R Thomas, G Harper, W Montgomery, M Weissbeck |
|
|
| No surprises here. |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: J MacLagan |
|
|
| They need one of those. |
|
|
| Chicago cuts:
R Albertini, N Jensen, H Sewell, R Chandlis, D Jackson, E Deblinger |
|
|
| Probably not much here, though
the Albertini cut is an absolute shocker - from starter to gone in one
offseason. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: G Persinger, M Lewis, K Boston |
|
|
| Boston will probably be back
when he's healthy and the Squirrels get injuries; that seems to be their
relationship now. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: L Williams, D Harrell, J Flax |
|
|
| Williams and Flax have been
around awhile, so it's a bit of a surprise. |
|
|
| Ruidoso cuts:
C Eyrich, E Vinicka, W Lim, D Seipt |
|
|
| Lim may find a home somewhere,
even though he tackles like me. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: E
Hice, M Garbinsky, J Snowden |
|
|
| Hice and Garbinsky were
painfully close to making the roster. |
|
|
| London gets: C
Goergen, E4 |
|
|
| Huntington gets: E2 |
|
|
| Interesting move - London
needed some line help, so they made a draft move to get it. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
A Reyeb, M Oliver |
|
|
| Two guys that could find work
somewhere. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: K Johns, W Dolawsky, J Graber, E Peek, M Pica |
|
|
| A statement of how much United
has improved, Graber used to be a top WRDB guy off the bench and play weekly. |
|
|
| London cuts: H
Zuazo, H Larson, W Wenwirk, A Zimmerman, S Meadows, J Alsop, F Cassio |
|
|
| Not a whole lot of value here. |
|
|
| D.C. gets: M
Schweiger |
|
|
| London gets: F Poley |
|
|
| Monarchs got their full line
now, I'd guess. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
C Tolosa |
|
|
| London gets: $5M |
|
|
| London got a pretty penny for
a young guy they weren..wait, did Steve just dump a decent rookie and not get
17 picks in return? |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: J
Cortez, J Brockson |
|
|
| Cortez is an 18th year guy, so
you know I like him. |
|
|
| July 8, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Houston cuts:
A James, D Killebrew, M Lansdale, W Price |
|
|
| Not a lot here, though someone
on this pile might get play |
|
|
| July 6, 2018
Update |
|
|
| London cuts: C
Williamson, S Moore |
|
|
| They're not going to make it,
so why keep them? |
|
|
| Sacramento
cuts: A Pate, W Rouselle |
|
|
| May as well get it over with
now, because if they got hurt, they'd be on the Sacto payroll. |
|
|
| July 4, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Texas signs: W
Laurence, T Maison |
|
|
| Interesting signing, after
some moves be made. |
|
|
| Houston cuts:
E Ekebi, C Dionisio, J Thiel, J Blackburn |
|
|
| Well, can't say Will isn't
changing the roster up… |
|
|
| Houston gets:
B Heath, K Mayes |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: $501K |
|
|
| Free money for the Rattlers. |
|
|
| Houston signs:
R Garrett |
|
|
| Well, he did play nearby in
College Station for a spell. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
B Brawn, J Anko |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: 2020 E1, F
Porter, K Vickenlooper, $3.75M |
|
|
| Brawn was a very good piece
for Philly, but they had to make this trade. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: E5, future considerations, $3M |
|
|
| Houston gets: D Vuich, S
McGinty, M Frank |
|
|
| Houston is using their excess
cash to get guys that they then don't have to fight other teams for in FA.
Makes sense. |
|
|
| June 25, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: R Grainer, J Austin, C Satterwhite, L Fan |
|
|
| They were mostly obvious.
Philly tied up with guaranteed deals right now. |
|
|
| Houston cuts:
K Kieper, L Rogers, B Skwarlo, S Carroll, D Kanuri, B Reilly |
|
|
| Houston signs: H Budmister, T
Mana Loa, J Thiel, M Metz, J Lofton, T Hickey, M Lansdale |
|
|
| Will starting off fast. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: L Brown D Johnson |
|
|
| Yeah, this isn't the type of
cutting that creates a lot of excitement. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
M Guiel, J Kettelle, A James |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: E3, E4, 2020 E2 |
|
|
| Houston, again, starting fast. |
|
|
| Houston gets:
H Black, R Peck, R Volk, W Blitzem |
|
|
| Texas gets: E1, E2, 2020 E3/4 |
|
|
| It's a risk there because that
E1 might be high, but Houston's planning for it to not be all that high. |
|
|
| June 20, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: J Nunez |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: P
Goodwin, E3 |
|
|
| The Blitz needed a receiver,
and Nunez helps shore up the Rampage line a bit. Good move. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: R
Jackson |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: E3 E5 |
|
|
| Interesting trade - Rampage
cut a little payroll after the Nunez move. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: M Samuels, B Tomlinson |
|
|
| Breakers need depth badly, and
now they have some. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
J Jerrett, G Blatenberger |
|
|
| These guys may find jobs -
especially Blatenberger |
|
|
| June 12, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Hey, an
update! |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: C Fetter |
|
|
| Look, Fetter's no one's idea
of a star, but he's going to add some depth at a spot the Fatmen need it. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: A Caspersen, J Thompson, R Herndon, J Linzeth, B Tomlinson |
|
|
| Some names there, but I'm not
sure they're useful names. |
|
|
| Omaha signs: B
Schmitt, D BrownLee |
|
|
| Omaha cuts: L Ritterberg |
|
|
| Omaha needs the depth, so it
makes sense. |
|
|
| June 1, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Other than
when I was studying for the CPA exam and we started a season in September,
this has to be about the longest |
|
|
| break between updates on this
page we've had. |
|
|
| Seattle cuts:
K Ainsworth, J Ouilime, J Cornell, D Ellis, D Johnson, M Bell, W Anderson, R
Dalbey, B Rogers, J Jiles, M MacDonald, D Carothers |
|
|
| Hey, at least some of them got
paid! |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: E4, E5 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: J Welker |
|
|
| Simple trade, Evansville gets
something for a cut guy. |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: A Pettyfer |
|
|
| Texas gets: E4 |
|
|
| Not sure the angle here unless
they really really don't believe in Stokes. |
|
|
| New York cuts:
W Church, J Thiel, T Meyers, D MacClellan |
|
|
| MacClellan has a shot to make
a roster as a backup, and the other guys will be in the old folks league at
the rec center. |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: T
Stark, J Salas, T Jefferson, P Schroeder, M Blevins, A McDaniel, D Walters, G
Parks, J Amberg, A Hillow, E Kespel, T Kimberling, |
|
|
| R Smith, D Stevenson, R Roe, J
Millaire |
|
|
| Not even bothering with the
scrimmage to keep any of these guys. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: T Gerosthanamos, A Smith, V Pulling, E Reece, R Lemongell, T LaDow, B
Pitts, D Arthur, J Casey |
|
|
| It's all rookies here, so
whatever. |
|
|
| March 18, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Delmarva cuts:
D Wolff, S Farley |
|
|
| And that's the last you'll
probably ever hear of either of them. |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
D Ellis, M Bell, D Johnson, J Cornell |
|
|
| They're camp fodder. They have to be. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: D Ladd |
|
|
| Nice guaranteed check for the
guy |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: K Ludeman |
|
|
| Another guy with whom one of
them have experience. |
|
|
| March 12, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: D Albright, W Robertson |
|
|
| Interesting moves - probably
camp fodder. |
|
|
| March 11, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Omaha gets:
$1.7M |
|
|
| London gets: D Kautz, 2019 E2 |
|
|
| I mean, I know why Omaha did
it - but I'm not sure how it helps London a lot. |
|
|
| March 10, 2018
Update |
|
|
| London gets:
2019 E2, E4 |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: J Jones |
|
|
| The deal works both ways, I'd
say. Sacramento gunning for this year, now, it seems clear. |
|
|
| March 7, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Ruidoso gets:
E3-2, E3-10, E3-20, E3-21, E3-24 |
|
|
| London gets: $250K, 2019 E2 |
|
|
| Ruidoso's E2 probably won't be
all that early, so I'm not sure the advantage for London here beyond just
wanting to avoid sleeper issues. |
|
|
| March 5, 2018
Update |
|
|
| D.C. gets:
2019 E2 |
|
|
| London gets: G Ward, E5-19 |
|
|
| Interesting trade - I'm not
sure London has the space for another young RB heir. |
|
|
| D.C. signs: J
Brockson |
|
|
| Brockson fills the hole Ward
leaves, though the Conspiracy roster is plenty large. |
|
|
| March 4, 2018
Update |
|
|
| Omaha gets: N
Stokes, S Ginez, R Crouse |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: A Rodgers, J
Boyce, W Hill |
|
|
| Wow, big statement move for
Sacramento. Omaha cuts salary, and Sacramento makes a playoff push. |
|
|
| Delmarva gets:
W Atkinson, B Roman-Ayers |
|
|
| Eugene gets: M Toboggan, M
Brake, E2-30, E5-30, E5-31 |
|
|
| Eugene deciding they need to
get a bit younger. No shock Atkinson was a big target for Delmarva. |
|
|
| Texas gets: M
Garbinsky, E Hice |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: D Domenech |
|
|
| Garbinsky and Hice for a
moment had a small shot to make the Delmarva roster, but now they're camp
fodder. |
|
|
| Eugene gets: S
Bagbey |
|
|
| Portland gets: D Beedell,
E2-30 |
|
|
| Eugene also looking to cut a
little bit of salary, it appears, with that age. |
|
|
| March 3, 2018
Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: D MacClellan, L Adama |
|
|
| MacClellan may actually make
the roster. |
|
|
| March 1, 2018
Update |
|
|
| London gets:
2019 E1 |
|
|
| Delmarva gets: E1-21 |
|
|
| Is there actually that much
assurance this pick will be higher next year? |
|
|
| Chicago gets:
K Neighbors |
|
|
| Eugene gets: E2-29 |
|
|
| Well certainly the Knights
don't need Neighbors anymore. |
|
|
| February 27,
2018 Update |
|
|
| Wisconsin
signs: J Tuioti, K Gibbs |
|
|
| Warlords definitely working
the back end of their roster around. |
|
|
| Ohio signs: R
Johns |
|
|
| Johns is a solid backup for
Berkstead. |
|
|
| February 26,
2018 Update |
|
|
| Seattle signs:
M MacDonald |
|
|
| It's camp fodder, but he's
getting six figures for it… |
|
|
| Wisconsin
signs: J Loftin, K Folger |
|
|
| Definitely good depth add -
Loftin is still trainable. |
|
|
| February 25,
2018 Update |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: D1-22 |
|
|
| Evansville gets: E2-10 |
|
|
| Evansville may have gotten a
trainable piece that makes their roster here. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: T Rush, E5-20 |
|
|
| Omaha gets: D1-25 |
|
|
| This one works both ways - the
Rattlers like Rush better than anything in the dispersal, and Omaha sheds a
little salary. |
|
|
| February 23,
2018 Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: M Oliver, J Felder, R Newman |
|
|
| Seems like camp fodder only,
but New York may keep multiple guys from these signings. |
|
|
| February 22,
2018 Update |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: J French |
|
|
| French may actually make the
roster. |
|
|
| Ohio gets:
E3-1, E3-29 |
|
|
| Texas gets: H Greene |
|
|
| This deal may just work both
ways. Buster loves guys who can do "something" great, and Ohio
needs more flexibility. |
|
|
| February 21,
2018 Update |
|
|
| Delmarva
signs: M Guiel |
|
|
| He got a minimum deal, but he
has a nonzero chance of making the Legacy roster. |
|
|
| D.C. gets: A
Byron, J Hollingsworth |
|
|
| Texas gets: J Mouton, S Morris |
|
|
| An interesting deal between
the OIFLCup Game participants of this past year. |
|
|
| February 20,
2018 Update - Second round signings |
|
|
| Arizona signs:
B Nordhoff, N Chiricosta, R Auger, D Boll |

Babcock, M Toboggan, H Roth, G Duffield, T Bradford, G o'Campo, J Floyd, B
Lang |
|

(this would have been nice in 2012), M Brake, M Garbinsky |
|
|
| Evansville signs: D Vuich, S
McGinty, M Fly, M Lewis |
|
|
| Fort Worth signs: E Yates
(yes, really) |
|
|

Blatenberger, B O'Dell |
|
|
| Ohio signs: V Bloom |

| New York
signs: W Church, D Montgomery, O Merson, T Meyers, J Thiel |
|
|
| D.C. signs: T Stark, J Cortez,
R Bush, J Westin, T Jefferson, J Angermeier, M Blevins, P Schroeder |
|

| Delmarva signs: A Torres, J
Cairo, L Czarniecki, S Svarth, J Kettelle, A James, K Makhoul, S Fleming, N
Nash, M Dilworth |
|
|
| Evansville signs: C
Kettlewell, K Boston, J Lightning, J Welker, C Daoust, J Collins, B Rivera |

Blevins |

|
|
| Arizona signs: D Killebrew, E
Diallo |
|
|
| San Francisco signs: J Law, B
Hauver |
|
|
| Indianapolis signs: D Kelly |
|
|
| February 4,
2018 Update |
|
|
| Omaha gets: W
Blitzem |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: G Langley |
|
|
| Omaha working to get the
salary down a hair here. |
|
|
| January 28,
2018 Update |
|
|
| D.C. gets: A
Distorbo, 2019 E1, E3 |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: T
Fairchild, D1-25, E2-16, E3-18, 2019 E1, $600K |
|
|
| Interesting trade; didn't
think D.C. was that salary-conscious. |
|
|
| January 25,
2018 Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: E2-6, E2-24, E3-27, D1-22, T Lucena, M Mueller, 2019 E2,3,4,5 |
|
|
| New York gets: K Sherman |
|
|
| Blockbuster! Holy mackerel!
Rush with the rebuild, AND they actually get multiple "now parts."
New York sending the |
|
|
| clear message that a second
round exit (coincidentally, at home to St. Louis) is NOT acceptable. |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: E Thomas |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: R Mansaur |
|
|
| Interesting trade. Another $$$
move. |
|
|
| D.C. gets:
E2-16, V Tyler |
|
|
| Ohio gets: C Sarvas |
|
|
| Very interesting deal - not
sure why DC is shedding payroll there, but Tyler is stellar. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: M
Ogwynn, E1-9 |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: H Hoffman |
|
|
| Quietly the Rampage are
building a really good team. |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: P McLeod |
|
|
| Texas gets: C Blitzem |
|
|
| Quiet backup-for-backup deal
that everyone will be happy with, ultimately. |
|
|
| January 14,
2018 Update |
|
|
| Seattle gets:
E5-4 |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: M Braun |
|
|
| It's an obvious salary dump,
but the Fatmen will capitalize for cheap. |
|
|
| Seattle gets:
E4-11 |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: E5-15, D
Pollock |
|
|
| Another salary dump, but
Seattle is moving into sleeper shot territory. |
|
|
| Seattle gets:
E4-28 |
|
|
| Texas gets: M Rose |
|
|
| Another dump. Seattle trying
to clear up space from bad contracts of years past. |
|
|
| January 9,
2018 Update |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: E1-5 |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: D1-16,
E1-18, E1-25 |
|
|
| The Racers need bodies, so
this makes sense. Bill is trying to build up the back side for when the front
side gets old. |
|
|
| January 8,
2018 Update |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: E1-7 |
|
|
| Huntington gets: E1-26, M
Simpson |
|
|
| There goes Bill wheeling and
dealing to move up in the draft. But this time, he's not trading starters to
do it. |
|
|
| Huntington
gets: M Wobet, E1-19 |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: D1-5 |
|
|
| Huntington's wheeling and
dealing now, aren't they. Not sure I like dealing the D1-5 here, but Wobet
has played a bunch. |
|
|
| December 22,
2017 Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: $15M |
|
|
| Huntington gets: D Strachan |
|
|
| It's a blockbuster move.
Huntington makes their first big play in franchise history here, and it's a
huge one. |
|
|
| Week 20 Update |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: G Peterson |
|
|
| He was probably the odd man
out here, so it makes sense. |
|
|
| Week 19 Update |
|
|
| DC cuts: J Cain |
|
|
| They had to let someone off
the hook. |
|
|
| Week 18 Update |
|
|
| New York
cuts: K St. Pierre |
|
|
| Someone had to go, and it was
pretty much always going to be KSP. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: R Cabell |
|
|
| Cabell was the clear obvious
choice when the Squirrels needed a guy in a pinch. |
|
|
| Week 17 Update
- November 10, 2017 |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: E Diallo |
|
|
| Gotta have a body there, just
in case. |
|
|
| New York
signs: A Morre, K St. Pierre |
|
|
| New York cuts: C Fetter |
|
|
| KSP will definitely play in
this backup game of the week. |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: J Cornell |
|
|
| Texas signs: G Peterson |
|
|
| Peterson probably helps them a
bit here, though I’m a little surprised at the WR cut. |
|
|
| Eugene
signs: J Cortez |
|
|
| Good add - Cortez can still
go. |
|
|
| Week 16 Update
- October 31, 2017 |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: J Henry |
|
|
| And he's back. |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: J Cain |
|
|
| He'll add a bit of depth where
they kinda now need it. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island signs: J Morrow, G Briggs |
|
|
| Don Kelly isn't going to get
it done, so they had to. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: D Peaches |
|
|
| They need a second back to
give Franklin some rest. |
|
|
| Week 15 Update
- October 28, 2017 Update |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: J Henry |
|
|
| Henry may be of value to
someone here, as he does still have good skill. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: R Cabell |
|
|
| This was likely when he was
signed; he may get a job elsewhere. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: T Maison |
|
|
| Finally they're starting to
purge guys who can't really do enough to be useful, even though they've been
around awhile. |
|
|
| Arizona
cuts: P Matos |
|
|
| Arizona signs: W Wilkes |
|
|
| They lost interest in Matos in
a hurry now! |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: A Morre |
|
|
| Fort McMurray signs: J McMahon |
|
|
| Good idea, McMahon has a
brighter future. |
|
|
| Week 14 Update
- October 19, 2017 Update |
|
|
| Sacramento
signs: B Nordhoff |
|
|
| Colin kindly requests I stop
killing his kickers. I make no
promises. |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: S Micheletta, R Calderon |
|
|
| These are not major moves. |
|
|
| London
cuts: J McMahon |
|
|
| I wondered if he may have done
enough to get the job. Obviously no. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: K Bush |
|
|
| The cheapest cut on the
roster… |
|
|
| Texas
signs: J Cornell |
|
|
| He's a solid add for the
Terrors when they need a body. |
|
|
| Week 13 -
October 8 2017 Update |
|
|
| The trade
happened in the legal window for the deadline. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: M Blevins |
|
|
| Blevins gives them a real
backup, which is nice. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: J Rohr |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: BAL E2, A Distorbo |
|
|
| Indy probably made a decent
move here, given Rohr wasn't coming back - and a one-year deal for him
doesn't help Indy much. |
|
|
| Seattle
cuts: A James |
|
|
| James can't do a lot anymore,
but someone may find him useful. |
|
|
| Week 12 -
September 28, 2017 Update |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: L Arundel |
|
|
| Arundel will help them on the
cheap. |
|
|
| Sacramento
signs: C Blair |
|
|
| He's bouncing around now. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: BAL E3 |
|
|
| Maykop gets: $25K |
|
|
| Just a little more for the
league kitty. |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: W Wilkes |
|
|
| Was the logical choice here. |
|
|
| Week 11 -
September 23, 2017 Update |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: J Cornell, G Peterson |
|
|
| They may be worth jobs
elsewhere for the rest of the year. |
|
|
| Lincoln
gets: $200K, future considerations |
|
|
| DC gets: Five E3 picks |
|
|
| DC going for sleeper shots
(the future considerations are more cash if sleepers are hit with those
picks) |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: D MacClellan, D Peaches |
|
|
| Expected moves - MacClellan
could find a job elsewhere. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: P Street |
|
|
| Arizona gets: NY E4, STL E4 |
|
|
| Street goes back home, and
Arizona gets some sleeper shots.
There's a potential last-second signing for the Jackals |
|
|
| for this week, so it may all
work out. |
|
|
| Arizona
signs: G Blatenberger |
|
|
| Hey! Blatenberger got a job with guaranteed
money! |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: R Cabell |
|
|
| He may play quickly for the
Squirrels here. |
|
|
| Week 11 -
September 20, 2017 Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: C Fetter |
|
|
| New York cuts: G Blatenberger |
|
|
| With Evansville having a need,
do they really want someone who knows the NY system to be available? |
|
|
| Fort Worth
signs: S Kutz |
|
|
| Kutz is a guy who can help
United. |
|
|
| Week 10 -
September 13, 2017 Update |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: T Rhodes, L Patel, D
Kelly, L Hilton, V Shober |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: B Brawn, D Nickels, J Castle, T Sanders, J
Anko, $3.5M |
|
|
| It gets Philly a little
younger, a little cheaper long-term, and cash. Probably a decent little reset. |
|
|
| New York
signs: G Blatenberger |
|
|
| He's the OIFL equivalent of
Cleveland's Matt LaPorta of old - on the 71 express back to Columbus and back
again… |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: L Arundel, C Blair |
|
|
| They're starting to get their
guys back. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: B Nordhoff |
|
|
| Hey, when someone else's
kicker gets hurt, now there are options! |
|
|
| Week 9 -
September 9, 2017 Update |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: K St. Pierre |
|
|
| More to follow… |
|
|
| Eugene
cuts: J Cortez |
|
|
| Cortez may find a job
elsewhere since kickers keep getting beat up. |
|
|
| San Francisco
cuts: D Caruther |
|
|
| He just didn't do enough to
gain sustained employment here. |
|
|
| London
signs: J McMahon |
|
|
| See? |
|
|
| Week 9 -
September 8, 2017 Update |
|
|
| Lincoln
gets: $7.5M - Maykop gets: $7.5M |
|
|
| Evansville gets: LIN E1 MAY E1 |
|
|
| That's a lot of money. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: STL E1, SA E1 |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: $6M |
|
|
| That's also a pretty nice sum
of money. |
|
|
| Lincoln
gets: $2M - Maykop gets: $2M |
|
|
| Portland gets: DC E1, MAY E2 |
|
|
| Portland will use these guys
as well, as they're starting to move forward. |
|
|
| Lincoln
gets: $1.5M |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: LIN E2, STL E2, EVL E2 |
|
|
| I like these for Fort McMurray
- they will then have the option for BPA or a sleeper shot. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
gets: FW E2 |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: $1.5M |
|
|
| Well, we got more for that
one… |
|
|
| Texas
gets: OMA E2, PHI E2, MAY 3, HUN 3 |
|
|
| Maykop gets: $3.5M |
|
|
| Texas going for some sleeper
shots, too |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: All the E4/E5 Lincoln owned |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: $2M |
|
|
| Seems a bit inexpensive
compared to above. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: MAY4 MAY5 BAL5 |
|
|
| Maykop gets: $80K |
|
|
| This almost seems comical. |
|
|
| Week 8 -
"September 1, 2017" Update |
|
|
| Texas
signs: K St. Pierre, J Cornell |
|
|
| This was a set of moves they
needed, as they're getting all beat up to hell. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: G Blatenberger |
|
|
| He served his purpose - if
needed, he'll do it again. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: B Blind |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: K Anthony, E4 |
|
|
| A little younger for Sacto,
and Blind gives the Rattlers a plug-and-play with Gentili out. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: T Jefferson |
|
|
| San Antonio signs: D Peaches |
|
|
| Does this mean Watson's
falling out of favor even quicker? |
|
|
| Week 8 -
August 29, 2017 Update |
|
|
| Ohio
gets: O Quinn |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: B Tomlinson, $1M |
|
|
| Ohio making an upgrade, though
DS is not the position they need to upgrade.
YOU CAN ONLY PLAY TWO! |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: W Hill |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: R Jackson, A Carlton, 2018 E4 |
|
|
| Omaha's going for it. |
|
|
| Week 7 -
August 25, 2017 Update |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: J Henry, T Jefferson |
|
|
| Good additions for them, I
say. |
|
|
| Chicago
gets: M Cason, LA E2-3-4 |
|
|
| Omaha gets: S McGee |
|
|
| I'm not 100% sure the angle
for Chicago, though they're getting older and sleeper shots are nice. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: J Soames |
|
|
| Maykop gets: $200K, E3, E5 |
|
|
| OK - we just signed him
yesterday! |
|
|
| Maykop
signs: J Olson |
|
|
| They do need the body, haha! |
|
|
| Week 7 -
August 24, 2017 Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: G Blatenberger |
|
|
| When guys got dinged, Blat was
an easy easy easy call for the Mean Machine given familiarity. |
|
|
| Maykop
gets: D Kautz, OMA E2, HUN E3 |
|
|
| Huntington gets: B Maino |
|
|
| An interesting deal there -
obviously Maykop needs a backup QB (but that may be in the offing haha) |
|
|
| Lincoln
gets: W Laurence, CHI E4, TEX E5 |
|
|
| Texas gets: J Hollingsworth |
|
|
| Laurence has the potential to
be someone someday. Hollingsworth
better fits what Texas needs now. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: C McPhee |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: T Granlund, K Gibbs, E2 |
|
|
| Not a bad haul for McPhee
considering his age. |
|
|
| Lincoln
gets: G Simmons, E1, E5, $500K |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: M Wallace |
|
|
| He's on an egregious contract,
but the Rattlers need him badly. |
|
|
| Maykop
gets: E2 |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: V Shober |
|
|
| Philly's cash poor, but this
helps. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: E Collins |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: N Jones, C Rhodes, E3, $1M |
|
|
| Lincoln shedding payroll in a
hurry here. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: M Glazer |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: A Torres, E3 |
|
|
| Interesting deal here. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
gets: L Graper |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: E2, G Robles, K Folger, $1M |
|
|
| Fort Worth gets a little
better. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: H Tomlinson |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: S Czerwinski, DC E1, DC E5, $250K at the
end of the next two years |
|
|
| Can we make it $500K at the
end of this year? Lincoln's vaporware,
folks. |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: D Rowley |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: E1, E2, E3, VAN E3, E4, E5 |
|
|
| Six picks? Sure |
|
|
| Maykop
cuts: P Dolan, I Human, S Carrick, C
Abbott, L Schultz, S Dolan, T Wilson, J Arthur, P Schenecker, E Copeland |
|
|
| We're losing nothing here. |
|
|
| Maykop
signs: B Schmitt, D Macgruer, M Metz,
N Chiricosta, D McConnell, E Hice, J Soames, J Collins, A McDaniel |
|
|
| It's kind of an old team now… |
|
|
| Lincoln
cuts: N Jones, C Munson, B Krousey |
|
|
| They ended up needing three
cuts. |
|
|
| Week 7 -
August 22, 2017 Update |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: C Blair |
|
|
| Blair wasn't out of work
long. Helps that all the kickers are
getting hurt… |
|
|
| Texas
signs: G Peterson, W Wilkes |
|
|
| They need bodies and now. |
|
|
| Week 6 -
August 19, 2017 Update |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: K Gibbs |
|
|
| They need the body, so sure. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: D Carothers |
|
|
| Well, they need the spot. |
|
|
| Week 6 -
August 18, 2017 Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: B Nordhoff |
|
|
| But it didn't last long. |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: G Briggs |
|
|
| Not a surprise since Kruse is
healthy. |
|
|
| London
signs: J Zagadaneca |
|
|
| London cuts: C Blair |
|
|
| Brutal business, this kicking
thing is. |
|
|
| Week 5 -
August 12, 2017 Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: C Kettlewell, J Perry, J Thiel |
|
|
| Yeah, they needed bodies. The cash flow may become a problem by
year's end, but it's not now, and they need bodies. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: L Arundel |
|
|
| Not big money, but it's a good
add. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: B Nordhoff |
|
|
| Well, Zie got healthy quick |
|
|
| Week 4 -
August 3, 2017 Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: B Nordhoff |
|
|
| He held out for a few more
bucks, so why not? |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: E4 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: D Boll |
|
|
| The Breakers see a little
light at the end of the tunnel, and D.C. is happy to oblige in a salary dump. |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: N Nash |
|
|
| See? Salary dump. |
|
|
| Eugene
signs: J Cortez |
|
|
| They needed a kicker, and
Cortez still has gas in the tank. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
signs: J Gunn |
|
|
| Another body needed
desperately. |
|
|
| Week 3 - July
29, 2017 Update |
|
|
| Ruidoso
signs: M MacDonald |
|
|
| Strong guy to bring in while
the starter's hurt. |
|
|
| Ohio
cuts: O Gross, A McDaniel |
|
|
| One of those has a name to
recognize; one doesn't. Neither will
be playing much more. |
|
|
| Portland
cuts: D Churchill |
|
|
| He may find a job somewhere
someday, but backup RB is a tough place to work right now. |
|
|
| New York
gets: future considerations |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: T Sanders |
|
|
| Salary dump, but the Blitz can
afford it, so get something for nothing! |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: J Olson |
|
|
| Likely, that's the end of the
run for Juan Olson. |
|
|
| Chicago
cuts: J French |
|
|
| Another guy who's probably not
going to amount to much. |
|
|
| Week 3 - July
24, 2017 Update |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: G Briggs |
|
|
| Solid hand to come in
here. Kingseed probably gets the
start, but if he falters Briggs comes in quick. |
|
|
| Week 2 - July
20, 2017 Update |
|
|
| Arizona
cuts: J Cortez |
|
|
| Cortez is better than a few
kickers in the league still, but given his age and likely "one
year" status, he may stay unsigned. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: O Hrimnajh, L Haywood, T
Bradford |
|
|
| Fort McMurray cuts: C Frisby, J Ward, M Comer |
|
|
| All three of these
replacements are now guys who may have a future with the Fatmen. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: V Burkhead, J Kob |
|
|
| Los Angeles cuts: D Krozel, C Wente |
|
|
| More guys who "may"
have a future, so worth going for. |
|
|
| Week 1
closeout update |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: D Gibson, B Gates, B O'Neill, D
Vuich |
|
|
| San Francisco cuts: M Cabell, V Burkhead, C Fetter |
|
|
| Generally speaking, easy
calls. |
|
|
| Week 1 - June
30, 2017 Update |
|
|
| Chicago
cuts: T Hatherly, M Mitzkovitz, J
Morrow, T Bradford, I Chavayda, N Nash |
|
|
| Morrow has always been a
pseudo-favorite of the league, but this might be his end. |
|
|
| Eugene
cuts: J Hunkele, B Gates, G Mack, M
Guiel, J Zaruka, J Kob, A Oliver |
|
|
| Oliver won't have trouble
finding a job somewhere. |
|
|
| Lincoln
cuts: N Makris, H Ricker, R Nelson, D
Woerz, J Marcs |
|
|
| These weren't as hard of
decisions. Makris will someday stick
somewhere. |
|
|
| San Francisco
cuts: M Torres, L Jenkins, R Zorn, D
Macgruder, J Angermeier, M Blevins |
|
|
| Interesting list, but not a
lot of studs there. |
|
|
| Huntington
cuts: W McNairy, W Clare, B Day, K
Maclean, C Schnitzer, L Haywood, M Sapara, J Rothwell |
|
|
| Not much of a list here,
either. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: B O'Neill, C Young, J Cornell, D
Ladd |
|
|
| O'Neill will get a job
somewhere. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: C Kettlewell, B Bankston, D
Formento, O Hrimnajh, D Gibson, G Gaines, S Holm, S Svarth |
|
|
| J Callahan, F Jorgenson, O
Merson |
|
|
| One of the side effects of that contract is that a 28-man
roster might not be affordable. |
|
|
| Ohio
cuts: J Day |
|
|
| Not a shocker here. |
|
|
| Arizona
signs: J MacLagan |
|
|
| Unfortunate for 17th year man
Jose Cortez, but I hope he gets a job somewhere. |
|
|
| Portland
signs: S Maxey |
|
|
| This is the closest thing to
Joe Peoples as exists in the OIFL, and Pioneers fans will be happy about
that. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: A Oliver |
|
|
| Not sure how much he helps,
but he doesn't hurt. |
|
|
| New York
signs: I Chavayda |
|
|
| New York cuts: G Blatenberger |
|
|
| So long as someone else
doesn't take him, Blat will be on the bus to and fro NY a few times for
injuries. |
|
|
| Omaha
signs: S McGee |
|
|
| This team will pound the
rock. More line depth? Yes, please. |
|
|
| London
signs: J Zagadaneca |
|
|
| Obvious, they need a kicker. |
|
|
| Week 1 - June
29, 2017 Update |
|
|
| Indianapolis
gets: V Sweeton, S King |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: E5 |
|
|
| Blatant salary dump, but two
guys that Indy can use. |
|
|
| Waco
cuts: J Cooper, S Boehnlein, N
Dickerson, J van Bosco, B Amin, G Peterson |
|
|
| As a show of how the team's
improving, these are all guys that'd have made last year's roster. |
|
|
| Portland
cuts: J Wold, F Sotet, J Espenscheide,
B Seeley, J Collins |
|
|
| Not as much here. |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: K St. Pierre, A Cascella |
|
|
| Some good players are going to
get cut this week. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: I de Orta |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: E3 |
|
|
| Well, de Orta goes back to
Canada |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: E Diallo, B Schmitt, J Soames |
|
|
| Well, there's at least one
name there. But Soames isn't what he
used to be. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: G Richards, W Krystle |
|
|
| Krystle has had a stellar
career, but he's probably done. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: E Hice, K Vidoteca, J Perry, D
Vuich |
|
|
| It's a huge day in Squirrels
country when long-time Squirrel J'Ron Perry gets the axe. |
|
|
| London
gets: S Maxey, E3 |
|
|
| Evansville gets: D Morgan |
|
|
| I guess it's a salary cut for
someone. Maxey's going to make someone
really happy tomorrow night. |
|
|
| London
cuts: S Maxey, K Gibbs, J Cain |
|
|
| Maxey isn't the be all end
all, but he's a lot better than that rookie. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: M Cabell, D Edgeman, E
Continenza, T Thigpen, M Waters, R Cooper, J Salas, B McNeely, D Jasani |
|
|
| Not exactly a who's who
anymore. |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: M Metz, M Tenore, M Mann |
|
|
| Not a lot here, either. |
|
|
| Week 1 - June
28, 2017 Update |
|
|
| New York
cuts: L Zimmerman, M Horowitz, D
Carothers |
|
|
| Given the level of kicker
injuries, Carothers will get picked up. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: W Krystle |
|
|
| Have to think this is the end
of the line for him. |
|
|
| London
gets: E4 |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: T Beck |
|
|
| Seems to make sense. Low cost for a decent hand. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: M Patidar, R Collins |
|
|
| One of them lost out when the
Fatmen got Beck. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: J Haller, C Rolston, T Kinney, G
McCallum |
|
|
| Rolston's a long long time
Warlord. Definitely a surprise he's on
the cut list. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: J Fix, T Armstrong |
|
|
| I don't know, but these two
have a small shot of making a roster. |
|
|
| Ruidoso
cuts: G Gerber |
|
|
| Interesting cut - he may have
work elsewhere. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: B Caro, E Henline, W Wallace, R
Kratzenberg, B Horne, P Sanker, J Scatena |
|
|
| J Van Over, J Blackwell, N
Takechi, E Stanford |
|
|
| Well, gotta get down to
28. Might be some FA down the pipe
that Fort Worth will want, so this may not be it. |
|
|
| Preseason Week
2 - June 25, 2017 Update |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: M Kist |
|
|
| Kist is a good young player
that will grow with the new Fatmen. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
signs: C Dennison, D Giles, R Deitrich |
|
|
| Giles may be a good backup for
Baz, but I don't know why Dennison is here. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: B Sellers, B Puglise, J Daniel,
M Lividini, J Kettelle |
|
|
| Not seeing much of a future
for these guys. |
|
|
| Preseason Week
2 - June 20, 2017 Update |
|
|
| New York
cuts: D Peaches, M Cribbs |
|
|
| While it may only be for
injury, I can see both of these guys getting a look see as the year goes. |
|
|
| Omaha
signs: E Cramer |
|
|
| Cramer will help the depth a
bit, but he may not be there long. |
|
|
| Eugene
cuts: J Morgart, J Gunn, S Kramer, M
Salinas, T Hickey |
|
|
| Another list of guys that may
get a look elsewhere for a spell. |
|
|
| June 11, 2017
Update |
|
|
| London
cuts: G Evans, D Albright, D Duffey, C
Dennison, R Brown, J Pharr |
|
|
| I'm not seeing much playing
time anywhere for this list. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: W Wilkes, S McGee, M Kist |
|
|
| Now we may have guys who will
see time somewhere. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: T Bedford, A Torres, E3 |
|
|
| New York gets: E2 |
|
|
| Seems an obvious salary dump,
but still a good move for the Warlords. |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: S Stewart |
|
|
| He might find a job somewhere. |
|
|
| June 7, 2017
Update |
|
|
| Eugene
cuts: T Babthorpe |
|
|
| Definitely a fringe player,
but he could be an injury pickup somewhere. |
|
|
| June 6, 2017
Update |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: D McConnell, R Lillie, T Eison,
K Jensen, M Scott, R Aust, M Brice, F Warnick, A Brand, J Bagri |
|
|
| A Aker, R Noble, K Rolan, C
Maxwell, J Bici, D Jantz |
|
|
| A couple surprises, but
nothing real earth-shattering out of this. |
|
|
| June 2, 2017
Update |
|
|
| Wisconsin
signs: J Hart, J Soames |
|
|
| Good veterans to add at this
point, and the Warlords can use good help still. |
|
|
| Denver
signs: D Madray, M Saunders, W Soto, Z
Starks, J Manzak, D McElroy, M Mann, K Vickenlooper, L Ruff |
|
|
| P Matos, W Price, D Caruthers,
J Blackburn |
|
|
| Denver cuts: B Dykes, M Downs, B Mahoney, P Green, B
MacKinnon, B Closson, S Wilson, C Russell |
|
|
| J Closterman, S Sanchez, C
Meyer |
|
|
| Don't study this list. You will not sign any of these guys. |
|
|
| Sacramento
cuts: G Long, N McFadden, J Foust, M
Maynard, J Lombardo, R Deitrich, T Saulsberry, J Hecox, |
|
|
| Q Williams, B Bath |
|
|
| Some of these guys would have
made last year's Sacramento roster. |
|
|
| May 29, 2017
Update |
|
|
| Seattle
cuts: J King, P Matos, A Meshekow, S
Kutz, J Bradley, C Downs, S Andrews, R June, G Clarke, K Hartsock |
|
|
| T Jefferson, D Eisenhart, J
Thiel, M Bell, M Nagar, A Burkett, J Fuqua, S Carlson |
|
|
| Now you know why players in
FAFFA want guaranteed money. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: J Henry |
|
|
| Probably not going to make it
anywhere. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: J Ruby, J Cater, J Noto, G
Robinson |
|
|
| Robinson was a Warlord for
quite awhile, so this is kind of a big deal. |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: J Kenney |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: B Schraeder |
|
|
| Generally when a trade that
makes no discernable difference either way is consummated, there's some sort
of |
|
|
| sentimental motive. I'll let you all figure that one out. |
|
|
| April 23, 2017
Update |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: L Arundel |
|
|
| Interesting move, I suppose. |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: B Babcock, C Fetter, D Caruther |
|
|
| Wondered when they'd get a
kicker… |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: W Robetson, D Krozel |
|
|
| Nothing huge here, but both
might make the 28-man. |
|
|
| Eugene
signs: B Gates, J Morgart, J Gunn, M
Salinas, S Kramer, T Hickey, M Guiel, T Babthorpe |
|
|
| Some interesting pickups here
- Morgart certainly is a good stylistic backup to Owens. |
|
|
| April 12, 2017
Update |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: $200K, $800K per sleeper |
|
|
| Evansville gets: E5-12, E5-26 |
|
|
| Interesting trade. |
|
|
| New York
signs: T Sanders |
|
|
| Still an overpay, but it's
better than that contract he got from KC. |
|
|
| April 9, 2017
Update |
|
|
| Portland
gets: E4-18, E5-18 |
|
|
| Chicago gets: $100K, $1M per sleeper hit with those picks |
|
|
| Interesting trade. I think I'd have kept the sleeper shots
myself. |
|
|
| April 6, 2017
Update |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: J Cornell, S Stewart |
|
|
| More likely, they're gonna get
camp work in the hopes they find a job afterwards. |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: E3-22, E3-23, E4-20, E5-21 |
|
|
| London gets: 2018 E3, E4, E5, OMA 2018 E3 |
|
|
| Just pushing back until they
have to trade the picks again… |
|
|
| April 4, 2017
Update |
|
|
| London
gets: 2018 E3 |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: E3-20, E4-24, E5-25 |
|
|
| Philly gets more stuff now,
though their roster is about full. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: E3-8, E5-8 |
|
|
| Maykop gets: D Walters, E4-25, E6-5 |
|
|
| Salary dump! |
|
|
| March 30, 2017
Update |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: M Dilworth |
|
|
| He's a very good stylistic
backup for Marshall. |
|
|
| March 26, 2017
Update |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: M Cabell |
|
|
| $43K for a couple weeks of
camp ain't a bad gig. |
|
|
| March 22, 2017
Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: J Henry |
|
|
| He may make the 28-man. |
|
|
| March 20, 2017
Update |
|
|
| London
gets: T Eason, D Morgan, $1M, E2-12,
2018 E2 E3 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: D Walters, E2-2, E2-3 |
|
|
| FINALLY the Monarchs are using
their really good team and trying to make it even better NOW |
|
|
| March 19, 2017
Update |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: L Reynolds |
|
|
| He's not going to set the
world on fire, but he may play some for the Fatmen. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: D1-35 |
|
|
| Osler gets: A Andrew, P Schroeder, R Dalbey |
|
|
| Interesting trade. In value, Osler probably gets the better,
though the Squirrels will get a better player. |
|
|
| London
gets: N Shito |
|
|
| Portland gets: E1-24 |
|
|
| While sure, London gets great
value here - Portland's rebuild went garbage, so may as well get some younger
guys back. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: L Hilton |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: E3-31 |
|
|
| I'm not sure the angle for
Sacto. Not a terrible contract - not a
lot of return. They're loaded at WRDB,
I suppose. |
|
|
| March 17, 2017
Update |
|
|
| Ruidoso
signs: J Carper |
|
|
| A solid backup that still has
something in the tank. |
|
|
| Vancouver
gets: J Olson |
|
|
| D.C. gets: $150K |
|
|
| Olson started his career in
Vancouver, and apparently is going to end it there. Only difference, he's in no way a running
back |
|
|
| anymore. |
|
|
| Ohio
gets: B Thompson, B Tomlinson, 2018 E1 |
|
|
| Portland gets: E1-19 |
|
|
| Seems like a steep price for a
current E1, but Portland had a guy they wanted. |
|
|
| Philadelphia
gets: 2018 E1 |
|
|
| New York gets: D1-33 |
|
|
| A fair price for Philly - not
a lot there for younger teams. |
|
|
| March 13, 2017
Update |
|
|
| London
gets: E2-6, 2018 E5, $1M |
|
|
| Ruidoso gets: D1-25 |
|
|
| Not a lot of value in late
dispersals now. |
|
|
| March 12, 2017
Update |
|
|
| New York
gets: S Maivia, E3-27, E3-28, 2018 E3 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: D Boll, J Olson, D1-30 |
|
|
| The Conspiracy still not
afraid to move and shake, even though they had a quiet FAFFA. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: T Thigpen, J Salas, D
MacClellan |
|
|
| D-Mac has been everywhere, so
that'll help the young guy Allinson (who will be starting in SA sooner than
later) |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: D Shadden |
|
|
| Strong signing after all the
fun was over in FAFFA. |
|
|
| March 5, 2017
Update |
|
|
| Ohio
signs: A McDaniel |
|
|
| Interesting signing, not sure
he pans out. |
|
|
| Texas
signs: D Domenech, A Cascella, D
Simpson |
|
|
| Simply, they're just trying to
fill out the 28-man here. |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: D1-10 |
|
|
| Maykop gets: R Johns, J Kershner, C Cruise |
|
|
| While maybe I'd prefer keeping
the #10, this could be three starters for Maykop. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: K Anthony |
|
|
| First waiver steal in years! |
|
|
| Texas
gets: J Farda |
|
|
| Evansville gets: M Coulier |
|
|
| The Squirrels have decided
that since they can't get a stable of elite receivers, that maybe the 2002
Mike Uhl Third Coast |
|
|
| Offense from the wishbone
(Norman, Mintz, Geno) is the way to go. |
|
|
| March 1, 2017
Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: G Blatenberger, A Torres |
|
|
| They're "prove it"
deals of course, but both make some sense. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: D1-9, 2018 E1 |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: E1-11, E1-26, E1-28, E2-22, E3-16, E5-29, M
Mannetti, W Wilkes, D Jantz |
|
|
| After much consternation
related to the new owners bad trade clause that's rarely invoked, we finally
came to agreement |
|
|
| to move one more precious E1
to Philadelphia. Seriously,
though…it's long since time for Vancouver Island to use |
|
|
| their capital to try and build
a winner today. E1s are great and all,
but they're useless when everyone and their uncle |
|
|
| knows they're going to be
traded for more E1s in about three-to-five years. |
|
|
| New York
gets: E4-9 |
|
|
| Philadelphia gets: R Zier, L Patel |
|
|
| Patel's a bad contract, no
doubt there. But New York also only
got a single sleeper shot back, and Philadelphia |
|
|
| has proven if nothing else,
they're willing to spend money. So,
we'll allow it. |
|
|
| February 26,
2017 Update |
|
|
| Seattle
gets: S Hughes |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: J Bidwell |
|
|
| Trade makes sense for naming
reasons. |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: L Butler |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: C Morrison, 2018 E3 |
|
|
| What this does is remove some
age from the Sacramento roster. |

|
|
| Lincoln signs: G Krass |

Yell, C Kendrick |
|

Byers |
|
|

|
|
| Texas signs: W Laurence, K Boston |
|
|
| Vancouver signs: D Jantz |
|
|
| Wisconsin signs: K Domena |
|
|
| This was more work than I
thought it'd be! |
|
|
| February 2,
2017 Update |
|
|
| Lincoln
gets: C Stanley, A Pettyfer, E4-28,
2018 E4, E5 |
|
|
| New York gets: M Fly, conf & title bonuses, half of
lead league in category bonuses |
|
|
| Champion is not
satisfied. It's a one year rental, but
New York probably gets a little better in a key spot. |
|
|
| January 25,
2017 Update |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: H Hoffman |
|
|
| Ohio gets: W Lee |
|
|
| Well, Ohio needs a replacement
for Hice and fast. Omaha, clearly, is
NOT resting on its laurels. |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: D1-3 |
|
|
| Huntington gets: J Bernier, T Coutch, M Thompson, J
Tyseling, 2018 E2 |
|
|
| It's a volume play for
Huntington, and it (in general) gets them a bit younger and deeper, so I see
the point. |
|
|
| Clearly, Omaha is not screwing
around anymore. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: B Crawford, F Pilarowski, 2018
E4, E5 |
|
|
| Chicago gets: M Manning, P Sokol, G McConnell, D Penzel,
D1-25, 2018 E1, E2 |
|
|
| This is the rare trade in the
league where I can see the true benefit for both sides. |
|
|
| January 7,
2017 Update |
|
|
| Fort Worth
gets: 2017 E3, E4, E5, EVL E4, 2018
E1, $1M, W Conner |
|
|
| Ruidoso gets: D1-1 |
|
|
| Seriously. That's what Jetta Shanklin cost. |
|
|
| December 16,
2016 Update |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: D1-2 |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: E1-16, E4-12, E4-18, E5-12, E5-19, E6,
D1-19, 2018 E1 |
|
|
| I'm not sure value was
attained, but Sacramento does need more than what one player could provide. |
|
|
| Week 19
Update, 2016 |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: J Henry |
|
|
| Decent backup in a pinch |
|
|
| Week 18 Update |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: A Reyeb |
|
|
| Well, didn't take long with a
spot open |
|
|
| New York
cuts: A Morre |
|
|
| Backup kicker not as big a
need when there's nothing else to cut. |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: E Cramer |
|
|
| He may find a gig somewhere
for a week if someone gets hurt next week. |
|
|
| Week 17 Update |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: A Reyeb |
|
|
| Yeah, this was the easy
call. Backup OS not a need. |
|
|
| Virginia
cuts: V Shober |
|
|
| Also an easy call. |
|
|
| Week 16 Update
- October 27, 2016 |
|
|
| Evansville cut
(last week): D Butts |
|
|
| Good times |
|
|
| New York signs
(last week): A Morre |
|
|
| In case Zie gets hurt in a big
game? |
|
|
| Week 14 Update
- October 15, 2016 |
|
|
| New York
cuts: M Cabell |
|
|
| He served his purpose. |
|
|
| Seattle
signs: S Carlson, D Eisenhart, J
Bradley |
|
|
| Setting up next year's camp. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: J Gunn |
|
|
| He served his purpose. |
|
|
| Week 13 Update
- October 7, 2016 |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: C Ahlers |
|
|
| Los Angeles cuts: A Morre |
|
|
| Seems reasonably obvious. |
|
|
| Memphis
cuts: D Eisenhart |
|
|
| The tank is empty, but I bet
someone gives him a couple weeks here. |
|
|
| Week 12 Trade
Deadline Week Update - September 30, 2016 |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: J Mouton, E2 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: R Franklin |
|
|
| An interesting move. Franklin will be pretty good and soon,
though. |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: V Bloom, O Quicksilver, 2017 E1,
2018 E2345 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: D Hall |
|
|
| Hall will probably have the
best career of any of these players by a long shot, but this is a good haul
for the rookie. |
|
|
| Week 12 Trade
Deadline Week Update - September 28, 2016 |
|
|
| Huntington
gets: C Pierce |
|
|
| London gets: J Cain, HUN E2 |
|
|
| Huntington can use the tax on
Pierce, London really can't (I mean, seriously, Pierce or Pratch?) |
|
|
| But seriously…this isn't
exactly going to help London on the field today. |
|
|
| New York
gets: H Jackson, $750K @ Y/E unless
they win the OIFLCup Game |
|
|
| Virginia gets: C Cuff, C Daoust |
|
|
| Not that the 6-5 record is
fool's gold or anything for Virginia, but they aren't winning the Cup this
year. Decent trade. |
|
|
| New York
signs: M Cabell, R Logiovino |
|
|
| New York cuts: M Salinas |
|
|
| Cabell must have done enough
with the Rattlers to get this look. |
|
|
| Week 11 Update
- September 24, 2016 |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: M Cabell |
|
|
| San Antonio signs: J Fuqua |
|
|
| The offensive prowess there
will help - given depth is a slight issue, getting the KR there that doesn't
also go offensively |
|
|
| may help. |
|
|
| Chicago
signs: C Kendrick |
|
|
| We've had a lot of kicker
injuries this year… |
|
|
| Week 11 Update
- September 23, 2016 |
|
|
| London
gets: R Zinger, A Gerard (at year end) |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: N Stokes, $1K (at year end) |
|
|
| Basically switching tag
players at this point. Both make sense
for their destinations, too. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: $1M |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: OMA E2 |
|
|
| Maybe a bit of a high price
for a second round pick, but clearly the Blitz want to set league records for
youngest non-2001 team. |
|
|
| Week 10 Update
- September 17, 2016 |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: C Fetter |
|
|
| He may get a job elsewhere
down the line here. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: C Downs, C Gerhardt |
|
|
| Two solid veterans that may
warrant a look elsewhere as depth pieces. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: P Matos |
|
|
| He did his job - he'll be back
if Akins gets hurt again. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: J Morgart, D Jantz |
|
|
| Morgart is going to have a job
or two yet pending injuries. |
|
|
| Eugene
cuts: S Guerrero |
|
|
| Not a huge loss here, though
he could find his way back. |
|
|
| Memphis
cuts: C Gossne |
|
|
| Certainly nothing lost here. |
|
|
| Week 10 Update
- September 16, 2016 |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: J Krivenko |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: J Castle |
|
|
| While obviously this was done
because the Blitz need more receivers for Greywacz, not sure how much more |
|
|
| Castle actually gives
them. Also not sure how serious
Vancouver is about winning. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: J Gunn |
|
|
| Solid backup. This team's good enough that if Gunn has to
play, no harm done for a week or two. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: B Spielman |
|
|
| He served his purpose. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: A Reyeb |
|
|
| Good quick little backup for a
couple weeks. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: S Maxey |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: K Collier, E4, $1.75M |
|
|
| Well, I guess the Hoover loss
isn't as big a deal now. |
|
|
| All-Star Week
Update - August 27, 2016 |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: J Carper |
|
|
| I still think there's some
place for him in the OIFL, but obviously that place is getting harder to
find. |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: J Smith |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: M Mann, E2 |
|
|
| While obviously a KC salary
dump, it's not a bad trade for Omaha anyways. |
|
|
| All-Star Week
Update - August 17, 2016 |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: I de Orta, K Jones |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: D Greywacz |
|
|
| What? |
|
|
| New York
cuts: R McDowell, P Benney, M Blevins |
|
|
| They served their purpose. |
|
|
| Week 8 Update
- August 12, 2016 |
|
|
| New York
cuts: R McDowell |
|
|
| He'll still be on the yo-yo
for a couple teams for injuries. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: C Downs |
|
|
| Good pickup for what's needed. |
|
|
| Virginia
cuts: J Hayhurst |
|
|
| He didn't play a lot, but you
want to keep the 28-man roster full. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: P Matos |
|
|
| He will help get them through
the no-Akins week. |
|
|
| Week 8 Update
- August 11, 2016 |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: S Bollings, J Morgart |
|
|
| Boy, they're going to be
really displeased with Greywacz gives 'em a 5% chance of allowing a resign in
a year or two. |
|
|
| New York
signs: P Benney, B Spielman |
|
|
| Just holding down the fort
while half the team's off on leave. |
|
|
| Ohio
signs: D Carothers |
|
|
| Dare we go for three broken
kickers in a row? |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: I Gillian |
|
|
| He served his purpose. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: J Henry |
|
|
| He served his purpose, and may
have gotten another look somewhere if the need arises. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: D Butts |
|
|
| A good backup for injury
purposes. One would guess Boston would
have been preferred, but he's in LA now. |
|
|
| Week 7 Update
- August 5, 2016 |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: M Cabell |
|
|
| He'll be a good good add for
the Rattlers while Madray's out. |
|
|
| New York
signs: R McDowell |
|
|
| He still has something in the
tank. Not much, but something. |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: D Caruthers |
|
|
| He was only going to be here a
couple weeks. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: K West |
|
|
| Virginia gets: M Otis |
|
|
| Probably fills a two-way need
here. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: J Henry |
|
|
| Henry is a decent guy to have
in a pinch. |
|
|
| Ohio signs: J MacLagan |
|
|
| Well, they need a kicker. |
|
|
| Week 6 Update - July 28, 2016 |
|
|
| New York
signs: M Blevins |
|
|
| Haha, of course, the guy that
knows the Warlords, haha |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: A Haddox |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $500K |
|
|
| Kansas City signs: B Rozier |
|
|
| While it's only cash, I think
I'd have signed a potential camp build guy for the future if I were
Sacto. Like, say, Bobby Rozier. |
|
|
| Week 5 Update
- July 23, 2016 |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: J Lofton |
|
|
| New York gets: G Blatenberger |
|
|
| Backup for backup, and ones
that fit positions of need-ish for both. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: K Davis, $5M |
|
|
| Memphis gets: B Steffey, D Right |
|
|
| As a rebuilding offer, this
one was rather obvious. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: T Mack |
|
|
| Memphis gets: P Forest, T Stoss, EUG E3, $1M |
|
|
| Well, beyond Buster not being
able to handle holding onto a draft pick… |
|
|
| Ohio
gets: R Warrick, G Sunu |
|
|
| Memphis gets: B Babcock, T Mimms, J Jones, T Bedford |
|
|
| It's not often that someone's
eyes light up when a kicker's available in a fire sale, but have you seen
Ohio this year? |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: M Jacobs |
|
|
| Memphis gets: G Simmons, P Kwiatkowski, E4 |
|
|
| Kwiatkowski may not tackle,
but a good camp makes him a stud DS anyways. |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: R dos Santos |
|
|
| Memphis gets: J Bieniek, $750K |
|
|
| Bieniek's young - while not a
strong pass catcher (and AA Jr was in Memphis), he's young. |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: S Hughes, C Wind |
|
|
| Memphis gets: E1, I Chavayda, C Johnson, H Tomlinson |
|
|
| I'll admit, I know Alex's
history and that high E1 is of more value to him than players. |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: K Sherman, W Wind |
|
|
| Memphis gets: G Ward, S Ginez, A Albano, STL E2, E3, E4 |
|
|
| The youth is what did it for
Alex here, I'm sure. St. Louis on the
other hand just got a big boost. |
|
|
| Hey, what do you get for your
league fees, right? |
|
|
| Memphis
cuts: R Kreig, E Stanford, T Mimms, N
Wire |
|
|
| Interesting combo - Memphis
has a lot of young talent now. |
|
|
| Week 5 Update
- July 22, 2016 |
|
|
| Texas
gets: E3 |
|
|
| Eugene gets: K Neighbors |
|
|
| Fills a need for a decent
price, and gets Texas a sleeper shot for one of their 48381 quarterbacks. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: C Gerhart, D Johnson |
|
|
| Hey, more useful guys. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: $750K |
|
|
| Texas gets: J LaCourte |
|
|
| Good salary dump opportunity,
and Texas needs LaCourte now. |
|
|
| Week 5 Update
- July 21, 2016 |
|
|
| Texas
signs: I Gillian, D Caruthers, J
Carper |
|
|
| They're just keeping things at
28, just in case they lose 3 guys again. |
|
|
| Week 4 Update
- July 14, 2016 |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: H Conduttori |
|
|
| There ya go, the 28th
man…really, 29th…is still a useful player in Kansas City. |
|
|
| Virginia
signs: J Hayhurst |
|
|
| A useful add here for a few
weeks, though he's no longer a guy who can bring it all the time. |
|
|
| Week 3 Update
- July 10, 2016 |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: S Carlson |
|
|
| Vancouver Island signs: G Clarke |
|
|
| Probably a good move. |
|
|
| Week 3 Update
- July 9, 2016 |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: K Boston, A Morre |
|
|
| Los Angeles cuts: W Laurence |
|
|
| Hey, he has Cali experience
given he was drafted by Fresno… |
|
|
| Seattle
cuts: J Gunn |
|
|
| I'd have kept the vet for
Poole, though Lightning was the Johnny I'd have kept. |
|
|
| Week 2 Update
- July 1, 2016 |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: C Fetter |
|
|
| It's a depth play until that
Palso guy gets back. |
|
|
| New York
signs: M Salinas |
|
|
| Same sort of thing here. |
|
|
| Week 1 Update
- June 26, 2016 |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: L Czarniecki |
|
|
| Los Angeles cuts: T Bernstein |
|
|
| A good addition to the back of
the lineup for a team that always needs depth. |
|
|
| Week 1 Update
- June 25, 2016 |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: C Adams |
|
|
| Baltimore cuts: B Jendrzjewski |
|
|
| Probably a few more of these
types of moves that Baltimore could make. |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: M Baltzell, P Matos, C
Lattimore, G Howard |
|
|
| I think Matos and maybe even
Baltzell could help a team as a #2 |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: J Silverstreak, P Nina, J
Romines, D Raabe, W Durnford |
|
|
| Not losing a lot here. |
|
|
| San Francisco
cuts: A Quach, N Leslie, C Yates |
|
|
| Just more evidence as to how
much better this team got this offseason. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: M Nagar, D Butts, M Crocker, K
Folger, B Spielman, W Paulson, M Blevins |
|
|
| Blevins is a surprise -
Spielman is a career that just never panned out. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: B Johns |
|
|
| Obvious cut is obvious. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D Hunt |
|
|
| Kansas City cuts: H Conduttori |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: $1.25M |
|
|
| Conduttori will be in demand -
as for Hunt, when you get a guy for cash, it's a good get. |
|
|
| Huntington
cuts: B Maloney, J Loveland |
|
|
| Who? |
|
|
| London
cuts: M Hilton, R Boston, A Desai, R
Radice, T Bornhauser, K Schulze, M Johnson |
|
|
| And what's left is a strong
team. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: L Czarniecki |
|
|
| A long-time Rattler, so a
tough call. |
|
|
| Chicago
cuts: G Krass, R Clay |
|
|
| A little lost here - I can see
Clay getting a backup job for sure. |
|
|
| Week 1 Update
- June 23, 2016 |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: R McDowell, S Bollings, G Clarke |
|
|
| Kansas City signs: D Right |
|
|
| I would have bet money that
signing happened. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: W Robertson, M Haas, R Gedda, K
Modis, K Chess |
|
|
| Not missing as much here as
the KC ones, I'd say. |
|
|
| New York
cut: J Cortez |
|
|
| But credit to them for giving
him a shot in camp to get a job somewhere…and he may. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: D Seth, Q Haynes, D Henna, M
Tepp, L Reynolds |
|
|
| The moves aren't necessarily
over here - will Reynolds get another job? |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: A Quintero, A Gerard |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: E4, E5, E6-3,6,10 |
|
|
| Interesting trade - makes
perfect sense for Sacto to get guys in their system now. |
|
|
| Sacramento
cuts: B Rozier, J Carper |
|
|
| Well, they upgraded those
spots, so you gotta make tough calls. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: N Chiricosta, B Jacob, S Nelson,
D Grover, A Gaydos, D Johnson, R Johnson |
|
|
| Credit where due - a guy like
Gaydos has been with FW for awhile; the team is upgrading talent. |
|
|
| Eugene
cuts: P Kopfstein, A Andrew, D
d'Masico, J Cocherell, G McCourtney, S Myers, R Angela |
|
|
| Y'know, this team has a chance
here if they don't have the types of issues that have plagued them in the
past. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: K Boston, J Hayhurst, D Caruther |
|
|
| They didn't want to cut
Boston, an obvious first ballot HOFer (when I remember to do that). But it's not personal, it's business. |
|
|
| Ohio
cuts: D May, P Sutton, J Harwood, C
Fetter |
|
|
| Fetter's the only one there
that's ever seen the field in a game that counted. |
|
|
| Omaha
cuts: T Evans |
|
|
| Hm, interesting - I kinda
liked him there as a vet back on a run-heavy team. |
|
|
| Week 1 Update
- June 22, 2016 |
|
|
| Waco
cuts: M Cabell, I Gillian, J Henry, B
Corner, C Adams |
|
|
| Maybe some looks here, but
most of the guys cut in the next two days will not find homes. |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: A Bellamy, M Horowitz |
|
|
| Every year since about 2008 or
so, I have to double take cuts as I forget guys age and sometimes badly. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
cuts: B Ungar, T Jefferson |
|
|
| Well, let's see how this team
does. |
|
|
| Portland
cuts: F Russell, S Masterson, D Right |
|
|
| Right's preseason might get
him a job. |
|
|
| Preseason Week
2 Update - June 22, 2016 |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: S Saba |
|
|
| Yeah, he's not making it here. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: C Cornett |
|
|
| Yeah, he's certainly not
making it here. |
|
|
| Eugene
cuts: T Meier |
|
|
| See above. |
|
|
| London
cuts: B Eckelmann |
|
|
| CERTAINLY not making it here. |
|
|
| Preseason Week
2 Update - June 17, 2016 |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: J Stimson, H Merton, R Fuchs, F
Rogers |
|
|
| Not missing a lot with this
one, I'm afraid. |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: G Langley, A Pietrasiek |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: 2017 SEA E3, $1M, $2M at end of 2017 |
|
|
| Great trade for Omaha - talent
for cash is always a good move. |
|
|
| Omaha
cuts: C Ahlers, A Pietrasiek |
|
|
| Not a shock there - just
another little financial helper in the Langley trade. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
cuts: D Hubbard, T Knight, J Miller, L
Adama, J Hart, J Gysbers, K Harbaugh, J Bradley |
|
|
| Maybe some guys that get a
sniff, but this is a retirement list here. |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: D Bell-Drummond, R Sinden, T Lee |
|
|
| Interesting - DBD has bounced
around a number of times, so I expect he finds something else somewhere. |
|
|
| June 8, 2016
Update |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: P Kwiatkowski |
|
|
| I still think the Blitz
should've kept him. |
|
|
| June 5, 2016
Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: J Laben, V Prep, B Gillis, L
Miller, T St. Martin, V Voustinas, D Poole, P Bhakta, M Lake, R Natwar, |
|
|
| B Skoog, T Sash |
|
|
| This was expected. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: A Burkett |
|
|
| I think Burkett could get a
job - certainly would be easier with a 32-man roster. |
|
|
| New York
gets: E4 |
|
|
| Huntington gets: R Newman, L Haywood |
|
|
| This deal works for Huntington
- obvious salary dump is obvious, but Huntington has room. |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: R Crouse |
|
|
| Omaha gets: 2017 E6-14 |
|
|
| Interesting enough - Crouse
will probably make the Sacto roster, and they gave up nothing for him. |
|
|
| Omaha
cuts: E Chappelle, N Targaryen, M
Kahn, D Krozel, P Hasu, F McNealey, D Concepcion |
|
|
| Other than Chappelle and
Concepcion, these guys really had nothing to offer, and even they didn't have
much. |
|
|
| June 3, 2016
Update |
|
|
| Well, it's the
3rd west of here yet. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: S Bollings, J Laben, V Prep, B
Gillis, L Miller, T St. Martin, R McDowell, V Voustinas, D Poole, N Bhakta |
|
|
| M Lake, R Natwar, B Skoog, T
Sash |
|
|
| Virginia gets: T Sanders, $3M |
|
|
| Clearly the league is going to
be voting on automatic NTC's on free agent signings again. |
|
|
| Virginia
cuts: J Blackburn |
|
|
| Wouldn't be shocked if he got
a job elsewhere. |
|
|
| Seattle
cuts: M Thompson |
|
|
| Just not good enough for what
they're wanting in Seattle. |
|
|
| May 27, 2016
Update |
|
|
| Four wins
away… |
|
|
| Vancouver Island cuts: P Kwiatkowski |
|
|
| I bet he gets a job. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: P Whyel, K Hartsock |
|
|
| Probably the end of the line
for both here, but maybe not. |
|
|
| Huntington
signs: S Slabody |
|
|
| He has the requisite
experience, but probably shouldn't play much in 2016 if Huntington is hoping
to win much. |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: D Carothers |
|
|
| I think he has a chance to get
a job somewhere else - there are good teams that may need him. |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: E Cohen |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: T Gervasi |
|
|
| This is a backup-for-backup
trade, but it's one that fits the bill for both teams. Gervasi won't be a part of the Blitz when
this |
|
|
| wishbone offense projects to
be a playoff team, but he will help the transition this year. That said, Vancouver Island did |
|
|
| just get rid of a terrible
contract. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: S Andrews, J Cornell |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $800K |
|
|
| I'm a little surprised LA went
with the slight financial bailout here. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: Z Legend, NY E2 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: G Schulz, STL E1, VI E2, 2017 E4, E5, E6-9,
2018 E4, E5 |
|
|
| OK, the trading of 2018 picks
might get you an interrobang. Beyond
that…this is a strong use of draft pick capital to get a |
|
|
| big time player that'll be a
key part of a rebuild. Unnecessary
rebuild or not, Legend is a big time pickup for the Blitz. |
|
|
| Portland
cuts: S Mihalevich, D Hawkins, J Bird,
E Rodriguez |
|
|
| I don't see a whole loto of
career out of any of these guys. |
|
|
| Seattle
signs: M Mahoney |
|
|
| Strong signing. As an aside, I totally wrote "Rocky
Mountain signs:" on my first draft of this one. |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: 2017 E4 |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: J Carper |
|
|
| Carper's going to bounce
around until he retires at this point, but he's still a useful pro. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: C Weingardner, Q Villa, $1M |
|
|
| Seattle gets: E Spadafore |
|
|
| While it's tough to trade a
long-time team member like Weingardner, getting Spadafore in the back end is
OK. |
|
|
| Conversely, this is a trade
the Rattlers absolutely had to make. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: S Carlson, J Krivenko |
|
|
| Eugene gets: NY E2, 2018 VAN E2, $250K |
|
|
| An interesting trade here as
well. |
|
|
| Sacramento
signs: B Rozier |
|
|
| A smart play, working the FA
pile here by Colin. |
|
|
| May 13, 2016
Update |
|
|
| Sacramento
signs: M Ogwynn, D Herr |
|
|
| Sacramento cuts: R Logiovino |
|
|
| They do make this team better,
and that's the key - get better little by little. |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: R Evers, D Bell-Drummond, S
Stewart |
|
|
| This is a team working to win
now, and at the end of the bench these guys might help. |
|
|
| New York
signs: C Daoust, R Zier |
|
|
| New York cuts: R Quackenbush |
|
|
| Quackenbush just can't do it
anymore, unfortunately. |
|
|
| Chicago
signs: D Jackson, R Clay |
|
|
| Two veterans who Chicago can
always use in the defensive backfield. |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: J Zagadaneca |
|
|
| Yeah, this was obvious. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: J Powers, R Sanders |
|
|
| Vancouver Island signs: D MacClellan |
|
|
| I think this is smart; helps
keep Bourdain from getting killed. |
|
|
| May 10, 2016
Update |
|
|
| Seattle
cuts: J Runde, T Drews, W Wilton, N
Kinston, T Phillips, B Greenwood, E Zagadaneca |
|
|
| There might be a team that
could use a couple of these guys. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: R Kidd, W Henderson |
|
|
| Not much here. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: J Williamson, M Alletson |
|
|
| Another "ho hum" cut
job. |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: R Mansaur, S Kofe |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: STL E1, VAN D2, STL D1 if there is one |
|
|
| This is a poor Rachel Phelps
imitation, Bill… |
|
|
| North Dakota
cuts: M Hiram, S Clearcreek, E Falk, J
Baysinger, D Cumbres, J Benham, J Seymour, R Zier, R Rudolph |
|
|
| Well, it's been an interesting
offseason in North Dakota. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: A slew of camp fodder. |
|
|
| Seriously…none of these guys
will be around next week. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: S Sugaware, L Jeffers, S Warren,
P Rogers, N Bianco |
|
|
| A little better pedigree than
the others here. |
|
|
| Sacramento
cuts: M Mena, S DiCarlo, M Iffert, R
Raber, N Bakta, C Robets, E Cervantes |
|
|
| Interesting, this team's
running a bit lean right now. |
|
|
| March 25, 2016
Update |
|
|
| Daggone it,
compy! |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: D Carothers |
|
|
| Solid kicker, as everyone can
use one of them. |
|
|
| New York
signs: L Haywood |
|
|
| I'm kinda surprised he didn't
get dispersal drafted. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island signs: L Galarza |
|
|
| I'm not sure why teams insist
on signing these developmental kickers for such long contracts. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: K Stone |
|
|
| Pretty bad if you can't even
make it TO camp in this league. |
|
|
| Omaha
signs: F McNealy |
|
|
| More camp fodder |
|
|
| Seattle
signs: M Thompson |
|
|
| He's a useful quarterback and
could make the 28-man. |
|
|
| March 12, 2016
Update |
|
|
| Virginia
gets: $200K |
|
|
| Seattle gets: T Drews |
|
|
| Well, Virginia still has 864
players… |
|
|
| March 10, 2016
Update |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: $75K a pick |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: The rest of Baltimore's picks |
|
|
| Well, this will at least speed
the draft up. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: W Soto, L Jeffers |
|
|
| Interesting…I mean, they're
just camp bodies getting a decent check to do it, but interesting… |
|
|
| March 9, 2016
Update |
|
|
| North Dakota
gets: $600K, K Bucher |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: Remainder of ND's picks. |
|
|
| I think if I were in the
position North Dakota's in, I'd have gone with the sleeper shots. But this makes sense, too. |
|
|
| March 8, 2016
Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: K Hartsock, P Whyel |
|
|
| Why not? |
|
|
| March 7, 2016
Update |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: R Mansaur, A Pietrasiek,
C Downs, $2M after 2016 season |
|
|
| Virginia gets: D Takechi, G Kutchzinski, 2017 KC E3 |
|
|
| An interesting trade. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: E6-9, E6-13 |
|
|
| Texas gets: $100K, future considerations |
|
|
| I'd have kept the sleeper
shots for that price. |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: M Cason, C Morrison, M Perry |
|
|
| Virginia gets: 2017 SEA E2, M Guiel, W Michael |
|
|
| Another interesting trade;
Virginia's been busy here. |
|
|
| March 6, 2016
Update |
|
|
| Seattle
signs: E Zagadaneca |
|
|
| It's basically cash for camp
fodder. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: L Arundel, P Rogers, N Bianco,
S Andrews |
|
|
| Hey, it's cash for clunkers in
the OIFL! |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: E3-17 |
|
|
| London gets: 2017 E3/4/5 |
|
|
| Well, it's a sleeper shot, for
sure. |
|
|
| March 4, 2016
Update |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: A Self, D Killebrew, Q Worrell,
T Sams, D Alexander, N Makris |
|
|
| MUCH needed depth for the
Fatmen. |
|
|
| New York
signs: P McGrain, A Burkett, J Cortez |
|
|
| Depth won't hurt here, either. |
|
|
| Leap Day 2016
Update |
|
|
| London
gets: N Stokes |
|
|
| Seattle gets: J Gunn, E4-6 |
|
|
| Stokes isn't going to sign
long-term in London, either, but he is an upgrade over Johnny Gunn. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: D2-35, 39, 43, 47, 51 |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: $325K |
|
|
| I think I'd have gone with the
sleeper shots, personally. |
|
|
| February 27,
2016 Update |
|
|
| London
gets: 2017 E2, 2017 KC E2 |
|
|
| Virginia gets: E2-16, E2-23 |
|
|
| Usually when you trade for a
future year's picks, you trade to get better picks next year. |
|
|
| February 26,
2016 Update |
|
|
| New York
gets: A Pettyfer |
|
|
| Virginia gets: E4-5, E5-5, J Hart |
|
|
| Can't say backup QBs go for
nothing, 'eh? |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: E2-6 |
|
|
| London gets: 2017 E2, 2017 E3, D2-32 |
|
|
| Seems like a steep price for a
second round entry pick. |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: L Richetti |
|
|
| Omaha gets: E2-6, E3-30, E4-8 |
|
|
| Richetti's a little more worth
the price, even when you replace the E2-6 with above. |
|
|
| Seattle
gets: E5-17 |
|
|
| Chicago gets: J Lightning, $1M if the E5-17 is a sleeper |
|
|
| Wow, thanks for starting for 4
years, now I'll deal you for nothing! |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: D2-26 |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: $500K |
|
|
| And the Rattlers are getting
$500K for what they deem to be a sleeper shot. |
|
|
| February 25,
2016 Update |
|
|
| Fort Worth
gets: D Johnson, N Chiricosta, E2-28,
2017 E3 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: D2-11 |
|
|
| Not a bad trade for United,
I'd say. D2-11's a better player, but
Chiricosta's still young. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: K Bucher, 2017 E1 E3 E5 |
|
|
| Virginia gets: D Henderson, M Cason |
|
|
| The league doesn't usually
force teams to submit all trades for review, but Vancouver Island's potential
average |
|
|
| attendance of 8,000 might make
them ask for it. |
|
|
| February 24,
2016 Update |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: B Jendrzejewski, E3-2, E4-12 |
|
|
| Texas gets: D2-4 |
|
|
| Baltimore going younger, but
this was probably still a win for Texas. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D2-6 |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: D2-25, E5-1, A Smith, D Sin, $1M |
|
|
| Interesting trade, not the
least of which is Kansas City shedding more salary. |
|
|
| New York
gets: D2-9 |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: E4-20, E4-33, E4-37, E5-33, E5-37 |
|
|
| This is only a good deal for
the Lights if one of those hits. |
|
|
| February 23,
2016 Update |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: M Singh |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: G Duffield, R Zier, E4-29 |
|
|
| North Dakota's going young
young young, so this was a fair move given that. |
|
|
| Virginia
gets: D2-23 |
|
|
| London gets: T Kiwi, E4-6 |
|
|
| This is more the type of move
London should be making. |
|
|
| London
gets: J Fitzpatrick, S Waltman |
|
|
| Seattle gets: D1-34, E3-16 |
|
|
| This one, not as much. |
|
|
| London
gets: 2017 E1, D Wingate |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: E1-10, J Seymour |
|
|
| An interesting price, but it
does get the youth movement going a year quicker in Bismarck. |
|
|
| February 21,
2016 Update |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: DC/IND 2017 E1, $1 |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: Y Hiruma, future considerations |
|
|
| The future considerations are
basically all of Bill's camp fodder after the camp ends. |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: D1-18, D1-31, $500K |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: D1-13 |
|
|
| San Fran's building more
talent, it appears. |
|
|
| New York
gets: B Smith |
|
|
| Eugene gets: D1-20 |
|
|
| Oh my, the offense gets hurt,
but Beedell will be something as much as they like to blitz. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: $1.5M, 2017 E1, J Silverstein, M
Glazer |
|
|
| Texas gets: D1-24 |
|
|
| Texas gets the best player,
but the Fatmen still need depth. |
|
|
| Vicenza
gets: S Kramer, O Bartek |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $200K, E5-1 |
|
|
| More dealings and dealings and
stuff. |
|
|
| February 20,
2016 Update |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: J Hayhurst |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $100K |
|
|
| Well, the Squirrels get him
anyways. |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: D1-19, E3-13 |
|
|
| London gets: 2017 E1 - OMA gets 2017 E2 from LON if this
E1 is Top-10 |
|
|
| Well, London fans are going to
get to the point where they feel this team isn't serious about contending. |
|
|
| London
gets: E2-6, E4-32, D1-34 |
|
|
| Virginia gets: D1-23 |
|
|
| This…this doesn't really help
that. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: $250K |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: A McDaniel |
|
|
| Well, Bienka will be crushed
as KC keeps unloading salary. |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: D1-32, D2-16 |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: N Olson, C Cruise |
|
|
| Chances are there's a little
more youth in this for Sacramento. |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: J Peacock |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: L Reynolds, D Hunt, E3-12 |
|
|
| This was a valid trade, so
here it is again! |
|
|
| February 18,
2016 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D1-35 |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: S Fox |
|
|
| Very solid deal for
Indianapolis, as they need the lineman badly.
Fox is no star, but he'll start here. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: S Sugaware |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: J Thiel, W Krystle, L Byers, E5-18 |
|
|
| Total salary dump here. Not sure how many teams will be willing to
help KC in this way. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: G McConnell |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: R Tucker, E2-25, E3-8, future
considerations |
|
|
| A little steep for Texas, but
McConnell is a good player at a position of need. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: $300K |
|
|
| Omaha gets: T Bayfield, S Bennigan |
|
|
| Well, so far he's finding
teams to bail him out. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: D Hunt, L Reynolds, E3-12 |
|
|
| San Francisco gets: J Peacock |
|
|
| Interesting trade. The Sharks are not resting on their
laurels. |

gets: T Coutch |
|
|
| Chicago gets: M St. Germain |
|
|
| Sure looks like Chicago's
going to be trying to run some sort of option setup. With that roster, may make sense. |
|
|
| Waco
gets: D Montgomery |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: D1-31, D2-2 |
|
|
| Montgomery is moving to a
place where he'll be the focal point on defense, and I'm sure he's excited
about that. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: J Arzola |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: E5-18 |
|
|
| And so the shedding of payroll
begins. |
|
|
| February 8,
2016 Update |
|
|
| That London
and San Francisco trade got rescinded, by the way. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: D1-29, $500K |
|
|
| San Francisco gets: D1-31, D2-2 |
|
|
| Seems steep to move up two
spots in the end of D1. |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: D1-13 |
|
|
| Waco gets: J Tuioti, T Mana Loa, D1-31, D2-2, E2-12,
future considerations |
|
|
| Not sure it's fully value, but
Waco gets at least four "useful right now" players and perhaps a
fifth. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D1-7 |
|
|
| Virginia gets: A Pettyfer, K Bucher, H Jackson, M Perry, F
Poley, T Kiwi, future considerations |
|
|
| Virginia is getting decent
value here, but KC has to be happy they just traded a bunch of backups for a
big time player. |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: M Mann |
|
|
| London gets: R Boston, E5-2, future considerations |
|
|
| I guess that's a cheap enough
price for a good lineman. |
|
|
| February 6,
2016 Update |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: D1-31 |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: M Cribbs, D2-5 |
|
|
| Really, not a bad deal for
Indy. You won't lose a lot of talent
there, and they get a bona fide OS… |
|
|
| …albeit maybe only for one
year. |
|
|
| February 4,
2016 Update |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: D2-5 |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: S McGinley, E2-18, E3-26 |
|
|
| An interesting deal - Sacto
gets more players, for sure. But
better ones? |
|
|
| Indianapolis
gets: K Domena, D Revalee, A Jackson,
A Torres, R Baz, D2-15 |
|
|
| Portland gets: E1-7 |
|
|
| I'm not sure I like this trade
for Indianapolis, but they get a lot of developable talent, I guess. |
|
|
| Huntington
gets: E3-33, E3-37, E3-41, D2-27, T
Points, H Roth, S Ross, R Auger, future considerations |
|
|
| New York gets: D1-8 |
|
|
| Huntington gave up a star
player, and did they get enough for him? |
|
|
| February 2,
2016 Update |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: D1-29, M White |
|
|
| Texas gets: E1-12, E4-12, D2-12 |
|
|
| An interesting salary dump of
sorts here. White will slot in
immediately as the Sharks' starting RB. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: future considerations |
|
|
| Texas gets: D Penzel |
|
|
| You simply knew this kind of
stuff was going to have to happen after that FA spending spree. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: E3-5, $2.5M, future
considerations |
|
|
| New York gets: D1-20, R Auger, C Stanley |
|
|
| And New York will take
advantage of DC's precarious financial situation, thank you very much. |
|
|
| Portland
gets: E1-25, E2-20, E2-26, E3-27 |
|
|
| Texas gets: D1-15 |
|
|
| An interesting trade, but
Texas will get the better player for right now. |
|
|
| Delmarva
gets: D2-12, D2-18 |
|
|
| Texas gets: $500K |
|
|
| I don't think I'd have traded
those for cash, but Texas has a decent roster as-is. |
|
|
| February 1,
2016 Update |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: E1-16, future
considerations |
|
|
| Omaha gets: J Barba |
|
|
| This better be because the
Blitz are moving to some sort of wishbone system. Otherwise, it makes no sense whatsoever. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: E1-19, E1-22, E4-16,
E4-18, E4-27, E5-16, E5-23 |
|
|
| London gets: D1-19, E3-13, E3-17, E3-19, E3-34, future
considerations, R Bush |
|
|
| Well, then. |
|
|
| January 28,
2016 Update |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: C Johnson, C Isby |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: D1-16, E4-30, E4-34, E5-8 |
|
|
| The champs are trying to
retool a little bit here. |
|
|
| Huntington
gets: J Rothwell, K Gulledge, J
Thompson, J Cain |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: E2-33 |
|
|
| Pure salary dump - goes in
line with my thought above. |
|
|
| Huntington
gets: C Andress, J Shea |
|
|
| Texas gets: D1-29 |
|
|
| While I'm not sure Texas
didn't get the best player in this trade, it's not that far off. |
|
|
| London
gets: E3-18, E4-18 |
|
|
| Texas gets: K Neighbors |
|
|
| I guess a cheap price for a
backup quarterback. Though if Texas
doesn't get a starter in there… |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: B Rivera, T Gervasi |
|
|
| London gets: E1-18, E2-2, future considerations |
|
|
| I don't think a team on the
precipice of true Cup contention should be trading vets for picks, but
neither of these are starters. |
|
|
| January 26,
2016 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D1-18 |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: P Goodwin, J Kershner |
|
|
| This trade does what both
teams want it to. |
|
|
| January 25,
2016 Update |
|
|
| New York
gets: all E3/E4/E5 |
|
|
| Huntington gets: J Salas, D Simpson, M Pittman, future
considerations |
|
|
| Well, this was really made by
me - given I couldn't really keep sleeper shots, this wasn't awful… |
|
|
| January 22,
2016 Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: O Hrimnajh, D2-19, E2-8, E2-30,
E2-34, future considerations |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: R Bush, O Frey, E4-14, E5-14 |
|
|
| Now this is a move that
indicates the Blitz mean business, for once. |
|
|
| San Francisco
cuts: T Sanders |
|
|
| The Sharks decided the roster
they had last year just isn't going to cut it. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: S Weisgarber |
|
|
| He just can't cut it anymore,
and the Rattlers aren't afraid to pay $160K to cut someone. |
|
|
| January 19,
2016 Update |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: W Blitzem, C Blitzem, I Chavayda |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: E2-8, E2-30, E2-34, E4-34, E5-34 |
|
|
| Just a little house cleaning
and some sleeper shots, it appears. |
|
|
| Indianapolis
gets: $1.5M |
|
|
| Vancouver gets: all the E4/E5 Indy picks |
|
|
| Cash…probably not as important
as sleeper shots to an expansion team.
Alas. |
|
|
| January 16,
2016 Update |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: D1-6 |
|
|
| Indianapolis gets: J Rohr, D2-20, E1-27, $1M, future
considerations |
|
|
| Indy gets more talent, and
they need more talent, but D.C. will get the best player in the deal. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: J Dunn |
|
|
| I know, this is a real ground
shaker. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: D2-2, R Auger |
|
|
| Omaha gets: E1-19 |
|
|
| I can see why DC went for the
dispersal pick there. This is a team
that seems to be gunning for a Cup. |
|
|
| January 12,
2016 Update |
|
|
| Sacramento
gets: D1-16, D2-16 |
|
|
| Seattle gets: E1-8 |
|
|
| I would think a team in
Seattle's position would want the vet, but I guess building another year
doesn't hurt. |
|
|
| Seattle
gets: E1-2 |
|
|
| Omaha gets: E1-8, E1-16, E1-28, E4-29, future
considerations |
|
|
| OK, clearly the Cybercats have
a target. |
|
|
| January 9,
2016 Update |
|
|
| Texas
gets: D1-5, E3-8 |
|
|
| Sacramento gets: J Law, W Hill, R Johns, D1-18 |
|
|
| When experienced owners get
expansion teams, you can see some early fireworks. |
|
|
| This does cement my feeling
that Law was going to be scapegoated for Texas' failures in 2015. |
|
|
| Week 19 Update |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: S Warren |
|
|
| The old guy cometh home! |
|
|
| New York
cuts: M MacDonald |
|
|
| Also predictable. |
|
|
| Week 18 Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: C Downs |
|
|
| Downs may make someone a fun
little waiver pickup next week. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: T Maddox |
|
|
| If someone gets hurt, he could
get called back in a hurry, but I doubt they do that at QB (unless they lose
two). |
|
|
| New York
signs: M MacDonald |
|
|
| Obviously, juuuust in case
they lose a kicker this week |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: T Quick |
|
|
| Someone had to go away. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: L Zimmerman |
|
|
| Well, he was about done
anyways. |
|
|
| Week 17 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City signs: L Zimmerman |
|
|
| Yeah, a veteran presence will
be useful there. |
|
|
| Boston cuts: E Zagadaneca |
|
|
| He was just a one-week rental
while the other Zagadaneca was hurt. |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: C Stanley, F Miles |
|
|
| Just trying to get some of the
lost depth back, and both these guys have some experience. |
|
|
| Seattle
signs: N Kinston, W Wilton |
|
|
| Good times had by all. |
|
|
| Week 15 Update
- November 21, 2015 |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: C Soludo, W Trudeau |
|
|
| Trudeau may get a job
somewhere. |
|
|
| Omaha
cuts: T Knight |
|
|
| Knight is certainly only a
fringe player at this point in the league. |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: J Rothwell |
|
|
| Another fringe-at-best guy. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: T Henry, C Railey |
|
|
| Railey's the type of guy who
may have a role in the league down the line, but he'll need a few camps to do
it. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: S Womack |
|
|
| Well let's be honest. He was only here for the week anyways. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: F Miles, D Bell-Drummond |
|
|
| Los Angeles signs: J Rothwell |
|
|
| Interesting moves. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
cuts: R Logiovino, S Spoelstra |
|
|
| Nothing major there. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: J Foster |
|
|
| Kansas City cuts: P McGrain |
|
|
| Still churning the bottom of
the roster a little. |
|
|
| Boston
cuts: L Quick |
|
|
| He's just not that Quick
(zing!) anymore. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: P Lambert |
|
|
| Not like he was doing much for
the Squirrels this year. |
|
|
| Week 14 Update
- November 13, 2015 |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: S Womack |
|
|
| Makes sense, given Womack has
played for the organization before (albeit in Lincoln). |
|
|
| Boston
signs: E Zagadaneca |
|
|
| Same thing…only it WAS in
Boston. |
|
|
| Week 13 Update
- November 6, 2015 |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: T Lee |
|
|
| Lee's a solid backup defender
for the Conspiracy. Obviously a
short-term thing. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: J Foster, S Nyer, M Taylor |
|
|
| Kansas City signs: A Pettyfer |
|
|
| Pettyfer could last in KC a
couple years, all kidding aside…except for their nasty habit of churning the
bottom 17 of the roster a lot. |
|
|
| London
signs: N Bianco |
|
|
| He'll provide, um, desperately
needed line depth. |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: G Halbig |
|
|
| Well, someone had to go… |
|
|
| Week 12 Update
- October 28, 2015 & November 6, 2015 Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: T Henry |
|
|
| A decent pickup, even at the
advanced age. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: F Poley, D Fry, B James |
|
|
| Texas gets: SF E3, TEX E4, J Weinstein, J Shea, R Johns |
|
|
| An interesting trade. Texas moving to get a little younger, which
isn't a bad idea. |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: A Pettyfer |
|
|
| Texas signs: G Halbig |
|
|
| Pettyfer no longer needed, and
it "only" cost $775K to get rid of him. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: A Byron, R Peck, DC E2, KC E2 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: T Eason, TEX E2 |
|
|
| An interesting trade as
well. D.C. playing more for
today…Eason will help them a bunch. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: S Nyer |
|
|
| Nyer will fill the spot that
Johns no longer can. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: C Soludo |
|
|
| Soludo will give them some
good snaps as needed. |
|
|
| Week 11 Update
- October 21, 2015 |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: M MacDonald |
|
|
| Hey, he did good for the Blitz
in injury duty. |
|
|
| New York
signs: J Pittman |
|
|
| He's a decent stopgap type guy
for a 28th roster spot. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: T Quick |
|
|
| Quick has some experience
there, so this makes sense while other guys heal. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: P Lambert |
|
|
| Lambert will add a little to
the back of Evansville's depth chart. |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: A Juarez |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: D Kimbar |
|
|
| Kimbar will provide a little
more explosiveness for the Blitz offense, and Juarez could be the next bridge
QB for Patten. Makes sense, I suppose. |
|
|
| Week 10 Update
- October 10, 2015 |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: M Bell |
|
|
| San Antonio signs: W Trudeau |
|
|
| They're shuffling the bottom
of the roster more than the Browns do! |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: J Tyseling |
|
|
| Texas gets: J Silverstein, E3 |
|
|
| Tyseling is finally at a spot
where he can show what he's done when he gets the chance to show what he can
do. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: C Andress, P Sokol |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: H Jackson, E4 |
|
|
| The Terrors are clearly doing
a mini reboot of the receiving corps here.
Get a little younger, extend the window. Makes sense. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: $200K |
|
|
| Tucson gets: M Horowitz |
|
|
| A little salary dump, too. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: T Eason, E1 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: E Yates |
|
|
| I didn't figure Lysoby would
sit pat that long to "wait for next year" when the team was pretty
close now. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
cuts: S Nyer |
|
|
| I'd have thought it would be
the guy who didn't start off the street, but whatever. |
|
|
| North Dakota
cuts: C Downs |
|
|
| Wait, what? |
|
|
| St. Louis
claims on waivers: C Downs |
|
|
| Wait, what? |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: M Taylor |
|
|
| Again! |
|
|
| Week 9
Aggregate Update - finalized October 3, 2015 |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
signs: S Nyer, S Spoelstra, R
Logiovino |
|
|
| It says something when these
types of guys will get some play for the defending champs. |
|
|
| Tucson
signs: T Maddox |
|
|
| Well, I said they'd sign
Maddox… |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: M Bell |
|
|
| It's not like they were going
to go into a game with fewer than the maximum number of players allowed here… |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: B Schauber |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: S Bolt, D Wingate, E1, E3, E4, E5, DC E3 |
|
|
| I think overall, North Dakota
fans will be very happy with this deal. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: C Mays |
|
|
| He served his purpose…a warm
body for practice while Rolston was out. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: A Morre |
|
|
| Same thing here - unlike above
even, no one in their right mind thought Morre would keep the job over
Matich. |
|
|
| Week 8 -
September 24, 2015 Update |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island signs: M MacDonald |
|
|
| He might be better than
Nickels, though certainly won't be in 4 years… |
|
|
| Week 7 -
September 18, 2015 Update |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: T Osborn, J Thompson |
|
|
| Seattle gets: B Hayden, C Bruce, E1, E4 |
|
|
| Los Angeles is serious about
contending and doing it now. They are
all in for 2015. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: M Haas |
|
|
| Los Angeles cuts: L Haywood |
|
|
| Haas has played
some…coincidentally, for the team LA just traded with. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: M Taylor, J Shidecker |
|
|
| Two guys with experience with
the Tigers, so this makes sense. |
|
|
| Week 6 -
September 6, 2015 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: T Kiwi |
|
|
| Omaha gets: D Jackson, T Lee |
|
|
| This is a pretty good move for
Omaha - Kiwi really only had one year left. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: G Madison, P Ellis |
|
|
| These aren't long-term moves,
I'm thinking. |
|
|
| Week 6 -
September 5, 2015 Update |
|
|
| I haven't done
a great job this year. |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: J Silverstein, J Bieniek |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: O Hrimnajh, R Conyers, E4 |
|
|
| You're 4-1, Bill. You just beat Tampa Freaking Bay. You don't trade "for the future"
right now. |
|
|
| Seattle
cuts: M Haas |
|
|
| Now, Haas may not be there by
next when the Serpents need him. |
|
|
| Omaha
signs: T Evans, K St. Pierre, S
Slabody |
|
|
| Omaha cuts: T Maddox, J Stimson, M Vernon |
|
|
| There's no real reason to keep
vets that won't be useful in the future. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: D Johnson |
|
|
| Omaha gets: C Ahlers |
|
|
| If you're going to get a young
guy, may as well get one the staff is familiar with. |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: D Ladd, S McGinley |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: K Shaw, C Stanley |
|
|
| The Conspiracy see an opening
here, it appears. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: A Juarez, SA E4 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: R Johns |
|
|
| Pretty nondescript; the Tigers
would rather start a guy they know better. |
|
|
| Week 5 -
August 14, 2015 Update |
|
|
| Seattle
signs: M Haas |
|
|
| Well, I told you… |
|
|
| Week 4 -
August 7, 2015 Update |
|
|
| Fort Worth
signs: A Morre |
|
|
| He's not Matich by any
stretch, but this isn't a team that can afford to go for it on 4th down all
the time. |
|
|
| Seattle
cuts: M Haas, T Quick |
|
|
| They were one week injury
rentals. If Seattle loses another
WRDB, they'll be back. |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: J Brockson, A Quintero, A
Gerard, LA E3, E5 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: J Mouton, B Berman, C Johnson |
|
|
| OK - that's a pretty good
rebuild trade for the Rush there. |
|
|
| Week 3 - July
25, 2015 Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: S Harlan |
|
|
| Harlan agreed to a contract
restructuring in that his current 1-year deal became a 3-year deal for the
same TOTAL cash. He got his money now, |
|
|
| and the Rush got some tax
savings now. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: J Cain |
|
|
| Cain will be a good injury
replacement while Coyne heals up. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
signs: C Mays |
|
|
| After 6 years of me wanting
him to be cut, now he's actually a useful player. He may stick around when Rolston gets
better. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: J King |
|
|
| I've been on the Juan King
bandwagon for awhile. |
|
|
| Seattle
signs: M Haas, T Quick |
|
|
| Well, while there's at least
one team that could use these guys as full-timers, Seattle gets them for
cheap for a week. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: E Cramer |
|
|
| He really shouldn't have been
a FA, but the Rush will be happy to oblige. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: P McGrain |
|
|
| Kansas City signs: S King |
|
|
| Just another little roster
reshuffling. |
|
|
| Week 2 - July
17, 2015 Update |
|
|
| Texas
signs: J Tyseling |
|
|
| Texas cuts: J Cain |
|
|
| This would be a missed
opportunity for someone like Central Minnesota. |
|
|
| San Francisco
cuts: N Kinston |
|
|
| San Francisco signs: L Jackson |
|
|
| Interesting to get him on a
4OL there. Clever move. |
|
|
| Week 1 - July
10, 2015 Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: L Adama, L Quick, J van Bosco, K
St. Pierre, B Rozier, D Lee, A Murphy |
|
|
| A couple guys here who have
been with the Rush for awhile, but they got old. |
|
|
| San Francisco
cuts: S Bobb, P Arsenis, D Delaney, R
Daville, R Zinger, J Zdonezyk |
|
|
| I know they're not stars, but
it's a good sign for an expansion team that this is what they're cutting. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: L Belanger, M Frager, J
Pritchard |
|
|
| Frager'd been there quite
awhile, so this one probably hurt a bit.
It's the right move, don't get me wrong… |
|
|
| London
cuts: I Kassem, M Eccelman, M
Cascella, J Ynoa, R Mediato, T Earle-Bridges, M Kramer |
|
|
| There's not much here. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: S Bollings, M Cumberbatch, S
Wall, G Halbig, T Henry |
|
|
| Henry's had an impressive
career, and I suspect it continues elsewhere. |
|
|
| Seattle
cuts: D Schultz |
|
|
| Could be awkward when he's
also their head coach… |
|
|
| Ohio
cuts: S Abbey, A Pietrasiek, C
Fernandez, D Harding, M Hashim, K Lemire, F McNeil |
|
|
| A couple "names"
here, and some should get jobs elsewhere. |
|
|
| Boston
cuts: K Hartsock, R Newman, D Brandt,
T Evans, R Johnsen, D Ladd |
|
|
| How times have changed -
though this is an attempt to try and get Hartsock out from under his
salary…though I'd just have eaten it and kept him. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: G Madison, C Soludo, M Hintze, M
Taylor, J Tyseling, G Wilson, S McGinley |
|
|
| I'm sure some of these cuts
were awfully difficult for the Tigers. |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: V Sweeton, J Dingle, E Tingle, W
Wilton, J Bannister, D Lawson, R Kelly |
|
|
| Just not much there. Sweeton may get a gig somewhere, but
Detroit can save that money. And have
a competitive team that's the lowest |
|
|
| salary in the league this
year…right now… |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: D Cooke, S Carroll, L Freemna, C
Woodman, T Erickson, M Childs, B Schmitt, M Pittman, W Greene, S Farson, W
Trudeau, Y Dunmore |
|
|
| Tough cuts, but the Warlords
have ample youth. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: C Prescott, F Miles |
|
|
| Los Angeles cuts: C Lattimore, C Goergen |
|
|
| Clear upgrades, and LA's in a
position to win now - have to do it. |
|
|
| Central
Minnesota signs: M Vernon, T Maddox, R
Meadows, T Knight |
|
|
| They have some youth, so let's
try to get a few wins here. |
|
|
| Week 1 - July
9, 2015 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: W Wilkes, M Sauk, SA E3, SA E4,
$100K |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: D Takechi, R Johns, KC E5 |
|
|
| Kansas City cuts: W Wilkes, M Sauk |
|
|
| Vancouver Island signs and
cuts: M Sauk |
|
|
| Kind of a funky order of
business here, but it works. Sauk
signed on for a 3-year deal and was immediately cut so that the Blitz would
pay him what |
|
|
| he was due, and so it wouldn't
hurt their tax this year just in case. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: J Kershner, K Bucher |
|
|
| D.C. gets: KC E2/E3/E4, $150K |
|
|
| An interesting trade, I hadn't
had DC pegged as in pick acquisition mode, but that doesn't make this a bad
move. |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: E Trenholm, R Jenkins, R Rutter |
|
|
| D.C. signs: R Logiovino |
|
|
| I can see a couple of those
guys getting a gig elsewhere. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: C Morton, I Haze, K Holtcamp, M
Lansdale, B Spielman, F Tenshin, J Lofton |
|
|
| Good sign for United fans;
some of these guys were key contributors in 2014. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: M Manning |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E1 |
|
|
| I think both sides are happy
with this deal. |
|
|
| Ohio
cuts: H Stutuoet |
|
|
| Yeah, not earth-shattering. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: J Morrow, J Giefer, C Daoust, D
Acevedo, T Babthorpe |
|
|
| Can't say I'm surprised at any
of them, though a couple may find jobs elsewhere. |
|
|
| London
cuts: K Abouali, C Burnett |
|
|
| Now these two…probably not. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: N Lang, R Coughenour |
|
|
| Lang just doesn't have enough
left in the tank, I'm afraid. |
|
|
| Minnesota
gets: M McMorris, SA E1 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: E3/4/5, G Langley |
|
|
| An interesting trade; I'm not
100% sure the angle here. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: J Maurer, DC E3 |
|
|
| New York gets: R Quackenbush, G Clarke |
|
|
| Long gone are the days that
Maurer is an elite lineman, but he's still effective. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: C Mays, M Wobet |
|
|
| There's a couple of teams
where Crishaun Mays would be a serious uprade. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: M Hall, N Lamb, K Shaw, A
Martinez, K Richey, L Beasley, S Fitzgerald, J Anko, P Dunleavy, A Eshkenazi,
R Joiner, T Karaer |
|
|
| I know having to cut Beasley
hurt the Rattlers; they like to keep their own forever when possible. |
|
|
| Portland
cuts: P Welsh, Q Keshey, L Tidwell, E
Long, J Vazquez, C Dimero |
|
|
| Let's be honest; these weren't
difficult cuts. |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: S Spoelstra, P Reynolds, L
Keller, R Rubinow, S King, N Chiricosta, W Correro, J Culetsu |
|
|
| Let's give a hand for Paulie
Reynolds on one heck of a career. |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: P Kopfstein, S Myers, A Reyeb |
|
|
| Remember when Adam Reyeb was
considered an elite OS? |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: R Tully, D Goldthorpe |
|
|
| No truth to the rumors that
the Fatmen spent more than 33 seconds figuring this out. |
|
|
| Preseason Week
2 - July 4, 2015 Update |
|
|
| New York
cuts: J Pritchett |
|
|
| He's just not good enough to
play anymore at a high level. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: J Marshall, E Spector, R Zarza |
|
|
| They didn't do what they had
to do to make a roster. |
|
|
| Preseason Week
1 - June 28, 2015 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: T Knight, V Simecka, Bobcat |
|
|
| A lot of old-guy retirements
are coming and soon. |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: D DeLap, J Tarrell, L Zimmerman |
|
|
| It will take me about two
months of actual football to get used to the "names" being cut
being worth of being so. |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: J Bradley, C Young |
|
|
| The Sharks aren't going to be
as complacent as the Thunder Sharks were. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: M Vladosky |
|
|
| I'd say that his aging finally
ended his career. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: P Stark, M MacDonald |
|
|
| Who was the idiot that set it
up that I'd have to type "Wolstenholm" every time some team hits a
field goal? |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: S Kutz |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: C Johnson, G Rauls |
|
|
| I like this deal for both
teams. |
|
|
| June 11, 2015
Update |
|
|
| Hi, don't mind
the cobwebs. |
|
|
| Seattle
cuts: T Clements, J Bordain, E White,
J Kelly, J Blackburn, S Pappas, D Clough, O Rogers, R Logiovino, B Cameron |
|
|
| We're not talking a high
caliber of player in 2015 here. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: D Feist, R Williams, I de Orta |
|
|
| Well, two of them had a
career… |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: D Tate |
|
|
| Yeah, this had to happen. Tate's at least had a cup of coffee, in the
case Akins is hurt. |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: T Maddox, J King, J Kennedy, T
Brumfield, A Bowman, K Thime |
|
|
| It'll take me awhile (as it
does every year) to get over the surprise at "names" cut. |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: J Manzak, C Gerhart |
|
|
| These are veterans that'll
help the Sharks roster a bit. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: D Lee |
|
|
| Well, clearly he's paying for
some future type production out of the superFA. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: S Merriman-Thomas, O Merson |
|
|
| What? |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: P Dumont, S Nyer, C Harbaugh, W
Lee, R Donovan, E Falk, S Warren, D d'Masico, K Patton, C Bryant, V Simecka… |
|
|
| …S Engelberg, J Brown, K
Folger, Bobcat, G McCourtney, H Tomlinson, R Payton, V Voustinas, S Svarth, J
Wreight, D Eldridge |
|
|
| Surprised a couple of these
didn't make it to Preseason Week 1, but not that surprised. |
|
|
| April 26, 2015
Update |
|
|
| Well, thanks
for being prompt, Webservio. |
|
|
| Seattle
signs: O Rogers, R Logiovino |
|
|
| Probably none of them make the
28-man, but it's worth a shot. |
|
|
| New York
signs: M Vladosky |
|
|
| Unsure on why, as he's not
really even a good camp leg candidate, but we'll go with it. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: C Goergen, C Wente |
|
|
| Could make the 28-man, but I
wouldn't bet my life on that. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: Cannon, Robles, Howard,
Thornton, Toccoa, Falk, May |
|
|
| They didn't even make it to
camp! |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: R Jenkins |
|
|
| Jenkins may actually stick. |
|
|
| April 8, 2015
Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: E5-33, E5-36 |
|
|
| Central Minnesota gets: T Rush, E Chappelle |
|
|
| Unless KC were to hit on a
sleeper, the Thunderbirds will be happy with this trade. |
|
|
| Minnesota
gets: J Collins, S Decker, M Mahoney |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: E5-34/37/40 |
|
|
| Someone's going sleeper
fishing. |
|
|
| April 7, 2015
Update |
|
|
| Central
Minnesota gets: J Carper |
|
|
| New York gets: E5-39 |
|
|
| Obviously, the Mean Machine
are hoping a sleeper still exists, while CM is trying to get a little
something "guaranteed" for the pick. |
|
|
| April 1, 2015
Update |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: R McTell |
|
|
| Central Minnesota gets: W Michael, R Zier, D Kimbar, A Carlton |
|
|
| Not a bad first trade for the
new team. McTell's a good player, but
they'll get more out of the stuff they got. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: 2016 E3/4 |
|
|
| Chicago gets: M Razaq |
|
|
| Starting to think Bill's a
76ers fan. |
|
|
| Seattle
gets: E5-32, E5-38 |
|
|
| San Francisco gets: L Jenkins, R Daville |
|
|
| Clearly a salary dump by
Seattle, but they get sleeper shots. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: E4-32 |
|
|
| San Francisco gets: R Cabell, P Benney, T Sanders, $600K |
|
|
| San Francisco is OK with
taking other teams' bad contracts for the time being. |
|
|
| Minnesota
gets: M Cabell |
|
|
| Portland gets: E4-34 |
|
|
| A backup for a sleeper
shot…not bad. |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: J Oakley, C Stanley |
|
|
| Guys trying to get a gig
during a bad time to get gigs. |
|
|
| Seattle
gets: E4-32 |
|
|
| Central Minnesota gets: D Johnson, J Bernier |
|
|
| The new guys clearly are going
for more help now, in lieu of a potential sleeper shot. |
|
|
| March 19, 2015
Update |
|
|
| If you picked
Baylor or Iowa State to go to the final, Nelson Muntz has a word for you. |
|
|
| Tucson
signs: T Babthorpe, D Acevedo |
|
|
| Clearly the superstars of the
future in Arizona. |
|
|
| Ohio
gets: J Deshazor |
|
|
| Portland gets: E3-22 |
|
|
| Deshazor for a sleeper
shot? I suppose so. |
|
|
| March 18, 2015
Update |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: E3-10, E4-20 |
|
|
| London gets: E3-4 |
|
|
| Steve was going to trade up,
then got a better offer for the darn pick. |
|
|
| London
gets: E3-14, E3-16, $250K |
|
|
| Seattle gets: E3-4 |
|
|
| Detroit gets: $150K |
|
|
| Basically, London felt bad
they "swindled" Detroit, so free cash for the Chimera! |
|
|
| March 16, 2015
Update |
|
|
| I keep telling
myself that this busy season crap is only until we're out of debt… |
|
|
| New York
gets: 2016 E3/4/5, J Salas, S Ross |
|
|
| D.C. gets: 2016 E1, J Thiel, R Cabell |
|
|
| An interesting trade, anyways. |
|
|
| London
gets: 2016 E2/3/4/5 |
|
|
| Seattle gets: E2-30 |
|
|
| Someone has someone in mind, I
see. |
|
|
| New York
signs: D Feist, C Railey |
|
|
| The price of camp fodder
doesn't go down. |
|
|
| March 11, 2015
Update |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: R Zinger |
|
|
| Will he have a shot to become
a backup here? |
|
|
| Wisconsin
signs: B Schmitt |
|
|
| He should probably find
something to do on the Warlords roster. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: S McGinley |
|
|
| Texas gets: E2-11 |
|
|
| I'm not sure where the Tigers
will put McGinley, but I see the point. |
|
|
| March 7, 2015
Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D2-27 |
|
|
| Texas gets: P Forest, R Tucker |
|
|
| A low-scale trade, for sure. |
|
|
| March 5, 2015
Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: R Coughenour |
|
|
| Coughenour will help them a
bit in a few spots, but mostly in camp. |
|
|
| March 4, 2015
Update |
|
|
| Portland
gets: J Duvall, D White |
|
|
| Eugene gets: 2016 E2, P Silvia |
|
|
| Eugene's rebuilding, and it's
really only right that D-Mack goes back from whence he came. Now, the question is…is Portland trying to
win now? |
|
|
| March 3, 2015
Update |
|
|
| New York
gets: H Conduttori, J Carper |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: E3-12, E3-13, A Self, K Ludeman |
|
|
| Conduttori will get plenty of
playing time for New York, while Tampa gets a couple sleeper shots and an old
friend. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: E1-23, 2016 E1, E3, E4,
E5 |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: T Watson, E2-5, 2016 E2, E3-5, E4-5, E4-16,
E4-24, E5-5, E5-8, E5-10, E5-14, E5-16 |
|
|
| The Rattlers are going for a
ton of sleeper shots; hitting a sleeper would be a boon to them. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: E1-24, T Eason |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: E1-17, E1-30 |
|
|
| Interesting trade by the Rush
- maybe it is time to rebuild. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: S Fox |
|
|
| Evansville gets: E1-24 |
|
|
| Usually the Squirrels are on
the other side of these types of trades. |
|
|
| Vicenza
signs: D MacClellan |
|
|
| He's got himself a shot to
make the roster, though he's got $240,000 either way. |
|
|
| March 2, 2015
Update |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: L Reynolds |
|
|
| He's got a fair amount of
experience, and he works cheap. Good
combo for an expansion team. |
|
|
| March 1, 2015
Update |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: E1-4, E3-20 |
|
|
| London gets: E1-13, 2016 E1 |
|
|
| Warlords are targeting guys
and going and getting them, I see. |
|
|
| February 28,
2015 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: J Oakley, T Babthorpe |
|
|
| Kansas City signs: L Ariaco, S Wells, M Mahoney |
|
|
| Just some housekeeping. |
|
|
| New York
signs: J Maurer |
|
|
| Maurer has a wealth of
experience, but he'll be down the depth chart here. |
|
|
| February 26,
2015 Update |
|
|
| London
gets: T Worth, A Johnson, E3-15 |
|
|
| Chicago gets: D1-17, T Coutch |
|
|
| I would not have guessed that
Chicago was going to be Roland Young's landing spot. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: M White, N Chiricosta, E3-9 |
|
|
| Eugene gets: R Ledbetter, R Bohannan |
|
|
| Eugene's not going to be a
contender for at least a year, so getting rid of an older guy for a younger
one that'll be good longer makes sense. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: D1-27, future considerations |
|
|
| Tucson gets: D1-23 |
|
|
| The Terrors will (A) get the
guy they want (almost assuredly), and (B) something else down the line. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: D1-22 |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: E2-17, E3-29, B Rozier |
|
|
| The Conspiracy have someone in
mind. Tucson above hopes it's not who
they have in mind! |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: D1-27, E2-8 |
|
|
| Texas gets: D1-23 |
|
|
| It was. |
|
|
| February 24,
2015 Update |
|
|
| New York
gets: C Mays, M Wobet |
|
|
| Portland gets: $400,000 |
|
|
| Cash still doesn't hold that
much value, so New York got these guys for nothing. Which is good, since that's what they'll
get out of them… |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D1-11 |
|
|
| Portland gets: E1-20 |
|
|
| Portland's clearly going for
broke in their attempt to get younger in a lot of places. |
|
|
| February 14,
2015 Update |
|
|
| London
gets: E2-20, E3-19, E3-30 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: J Silverstein |
|
|
| This is how dedicated I
am. Good trade for London, but they
need to parlay these picks into strong veterans to help win now. |
|
|
| February 11,
2015 Update |
|
|
| 3 busy season
work days down, 42 to go… |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: P Goodwin |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: E2-20, E3-19, E4-24 |
|
|
| Really, while Goodwin isn't
the kind of vet they need, the Blitz need to start parlaying these draft
picks into veterans to help them win a bit more. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: D1-10, C Johnson, A Reyeb,
E4-10, $1M, future considerations |
|
|
| New York gets: D1-3, A Self, R Cabell |
|
|
| I fail to see how this helps
Baltimore in any way at all. |
|
|
| February 4,
2015 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: E1-20, E3-8 |
|
|
| London gets: D1-8 |
|
|
| Finally, London's getting
experienced help - this trade should work well both ways. |
|
|
| January 25,
2015 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: C Andress |
|
|
| London gets: J Silverstein, $200K, E3-24 |
|
|
| This doesn't make a whole lot
of sense, though I guess London gets an E3 out of it. |
|
|
| New York
gets: D1-2 |
|
|
| Fort Worth gets: D Webb, C Hensel, M Lansdale, D2-16 |
|
|
| It's not a terrible trade for
Fort Worth, but New York gets the best player out of it. |
|
|
| Seattle
gets: E2-34, E3-14, E3-16, E3-17 |
|
|
| Minnesota gets: K Cruise, C Adams, C Cooper, G o'Campo,
D2-12 |
|
|
| An interesting trade
offer. I guess Seattle's trying for
sleeper shots? |
|
|
| January 22,
2015 Update |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: E1-7, E2-7 |
|
|
| Minnesota gets: D1-15, D2-15, E3-14, E3-16, E3-17, $3M |
|
|
| This is probably a year after
the point where the Blitz should be trying to acquire veterans to go around
all the young guys, and to develop |
|
|
| the guys they have into a
potent team. Yes, they made the
playoffs last year, but 6-10 doesn't exactly inspire OIFLCup confidence here. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: M Coulier, D1-27 |
|
|
| Texas gets: D1-23, D2-23, E2-10, R Ledbetter |
|
|
| Basically, Texas gets 4 spots
in the dispersal, an extra two picks, and a RB of the future for
"nothing." As Texas
exercised the tag on Coulier, |
|
|
| Tucson is still permitted to
exercise theirs (but despite having no tagged players on their roster, Texas
has used their tag). |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: B Blaze, D1-16, future
considerations, E3-29 |
|
|
| New York gets: T Points, D1-10, E1-31, E3-12, E3-13 |
|
|
| Clearly New York is going for
a bit of cost certainty here. Blaze
will help DC's porous D. |
|
|
| December 10,
2014 Update |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: B O'Neill |
|
|
| New York gets: $80K |
|
|
| Not a bad price for a decent
kicker. |
|
|
| OIFL Week 19
Update |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: J Matthews |
|
|
| He's got some talent, and I
wouldn't be shocked to see him get back to Texas during the offseason, but
Coulier's back. |
|
|
| Boston
cuts: A Morre |
|
|
| Obvious cut here. |
|
|
| Seattle
cuts: D Ladd |
|
|
| Seattle signs: B Cameron, T Clements |
|
|
| Interesting moves - Seattle
still finagling around a bit here. |
|
|
| OIFL Week 18
Update |
|
|
| Seattle
signs: M Guiel, K Cruise |
|
|
| They need some DS work. Which is just the position they could
afford to lose guys… |
|
|
| Tucson
signs: N Lang |
|
|
| They needed the veteran
presence a bit. |
|
|
| OIFL Week 16
Update |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: S Spoelstra |
|
|
| I think he might get a job as
a backup somewhere for the playoff run. |
|
|
| Eugene
cuts: B Carpenter |
|
|
| I don't think he will. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: D Revalee |
|
|
| Thank you for your hard work,
but Fort Worth has better. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: J Kennedy |
|
|
| Blah |
|
|
| Seattle
signs: S Waltman |
|
|
| Yeah, he could be useful down
the line. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: J King |
|
|
| I'd have cut Nyer, but I
understand why you keep the guy that's been in your system longer. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: R Gandee |
|
|
| Gandee's a solid add for a
line that still isn't the world's deepest. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
cuts: J Kristen |
|
|
| Is this like throwing a bone
towards Ohio for breaking Berkstead? |
|
|
| OIFL Week 15
Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: R Ritter, C Macrides |
|
|
| A couple guys that have been
around the block in St. Louis, but the Rush have better today. |
|
|
| OIFL Week 14
Update |
|
|
| Tucson signs
(off waivers): J Angermeier |
|
|
| Tucson cuts: T Clements |
|
|
| Good add, as Angermeier's
better today…his last start, if you remember, was an OIFLCup Game win. |
|
|
| New York
signs: J Shidecker |
|
|
| New York cuts: M Ruddick |
|
|
| Probably a talent upgrade,
though they're still both backups for the Mean Machine. |
|
|
| Kansas City
claims off waivers: G Langley |
|
|
| Good pickup for the Tigers. |
|
|
| OIFL Week 13
Update |
|
|
| Tucson
signs: T Clements |
|
|
| If Lang goes down, they do NOT
want John Morrow playing. |
|
|
| New York
signs: B O'Neill |
|
|
| O'Neill has a long career,
anyways. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: J Silverstreak |
|
|
| They keep these injuries up,
the Rush will be signing you and me. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: G Langley |
|
|
| Well, they had a cut to
make…injuries have hurt a team that already lacked depth. |
|
|
| Boston
signs: A Morre |
|
|
| Well, he kinda needed that. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: D Badnell, Bobcat |
|
|
| They're just glad they got
back to full strength finally. |
|
|
| OIFL Week 12
Trade Deadline Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: M Lewis, P Forest, STL E3, E4,
E5 |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: J Mouton, K St. Pierre |
|
|
| A bit of a shocker in that the
Rush traded away by far their most "marketable" local guy, though
Greywacz has taken some of that |
|
|
| thunder. As for competitive footbal, this is a good
move; Mouton's almost immediately their best defender. |
|
|
| Seattle
signs: C Cooper |
|
|
| Backup-type OS guys, even
developable ones, just don't have a market. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: C Kendrick |
|
|
| Probably a necessary move. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: TB E5 |
|
|
| New York gets: P Ellis |
|
|
| Seriously. This is the last trade of the season. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: R Gandee |
|
|
| Gandee is
replaceable…apparently, it only costs an E5 to do, too. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: J King |
|
|
| I know I've been on his
bandwagon for a long time (I guess he's the Jeff George to my Jason
Whitlock). But, does he start over
Nyer? |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: J Enderle |
|
|
| And he's cut again. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: J Angermeier, H Rosenthal, J
Shidecker |
|
|
| Kansas City signs: C Harbaugh, S Warren, D d'Masico, J Oakley,
T Babthorpe |
|
|
| I suspect this isn't the last
of the Tigers' wheeling and dealing this year. |
|
|
| OIFL Week 11
Update |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: M Blevins |
|
|
| Berlin gets: Y Kieren |
|
|
| Not like Blevins (the impeding
FA) is in Berlin's long-range plans. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: E3 |
|
|
| Vicenza gets: D Eisenhart |
|
|
| Eisenhart might just fit what
the Cavalry run. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: R Jackson |
|
|
| No shock there - given he
became a full-on FA after the waiver wire, he's KC's for the full 3 year
contract he signed. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: S Bolt |
|
|
| Seattle gets: TUC E1, TEX E2 |
|
|
| I know it's an E1, but I don't
like trading young players that can be a big part of a team's future. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: N Lang |
|
|
| He's going to be the
up-and-down bounce guy for the Scorpions. |
|
|
| Vicenza
cuts: T Babthorpe |
|
|
| The leadership keeps him from
being developable, but there are worse players on rosters. |
|
|
| OIFL Week 10
Update |
|
|
| New York
signs: R Gandee |
|
|
| He's got something in the
tank. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: C Johnson, LON E2 |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: V Tompkins, J LaCourte, STL E3 |
|
|
| Especially with Lewis going
down, the Rush are going to depend on Greywacz's arm a lot. Getting this helps. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: D Badnell, J Enderle |
|
|
| And Enderle gets a job! |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: C Daoust |
|
|
| D.C. gets: S McGinty |
|
|
| Simply put, I wouldn't trade
an asset for a guaranteed FA unless I was a cup contender. Maybe DC doesn't know? |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: D Watts |
|
|
| You can figure Watts will be
one of those yo-yo guys until his career ends in 2017 or so. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: C Cooper |
|
|
| He was brought in of sorts to
push Tidwell awhile back. I think
they're OK there. |
|
|
| OIFL Week 9
Update |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: D Watts |
|
|
| He's had a fairly varied
career, so it's not a bad add. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: J Carper |
|
|
| New York gets: TB E5, $500K, M Ruddick |
|
|
| Not bad - Tampa gets a little
better, NY gets a little richer. |
|
|
| Berlin
gets: B Schraeder, J Kratofil, TYN E2 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: BER E1, LA E3, TB E3, J Rothwell, R Cabell,
D Drummer |
|
|
| Well, given Schraeder is the
one dumped, I just don't like this trade for Baltimore. You can't get a better organization
together when you're |
|
|
| 0-8 and trade away one of your
few good young players. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: M Coulier, J Rohr, M Horowitz |
|
|
| Tucson gets: C Vedell, S McGinty, TEX E2 (KC E2 instead
of TEX wins OIFLCup Game) |
|
|
| And boom goes the
dynamite. The gauntlet has just been
thrown in the West. |
|
|
| Tucson
signs: N Lang |
|
|
| Of course he's going to fill
that spot. Don't think the Scorpions
are just tanking here. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: L Zimmerman |
|
|
| They desperately need line
depth, and this will bring it. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: J King, J Enderle, S Warren |
|
|
| King is better than some
backups on teams right now at QB, period. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: Z Degan |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: B Schauber, C Antai, D Stephens |
|
|
| While it cost them Degan, he
was only a rental anyways, and you know Jimmy will pay top dollar to try and
get him back. |
|
|
| What this does is indicate
Iowa has seen Texas' shots fired, and has fired shots of their own. |
|
|
| Are Fort Mac and Los Angeles
going to get left in the wake? |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: K Cruise |
|
|
| I can see him getting a gig,
though DS' are a dime a dozen. |
|
|
| North Dakota
cuts: R Holmes, R Jackson, D Tate |
|
|
| Well, we'll see, but I don't
really anticipate much. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: B Nordhoff |
|
|
| He was only an injury
replacement anyways. |
|
|
| OIFL 2014 Week
8 Update |
|
|
| New York
cuts: V Shober |
|
|
| You knew he was a short-term
rental type anyways. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: CHI E2, IOW E4, NY E4, C
Copeland, M Grant, W Trudeau, D Brown |
|
|
| Portland gets: M Cabell, D Frazier |
|
|
| I can't really wrap my head
around this as to why it makes sense for Portland, but I'm willing to listen. |
|
|
| Seattle
cuts: J Hart |
|
|
| I thought he'd done enough to
stick around, but clearly he was just a guy to come in while Q played
quarterback. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: C Harbaugh |
|
|
| He just doesn't have it
anymore. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: L Zimmerman |
|
|
| He's a guy who can still help
a lot of teams. Evansville just isn't
one of them. |
|
|
| OIFL 2014 Week
7 Update |
|
|
| Fort Worth
gets: B Spielman, R Frazier |
|
|
| New York gets: S Wells |
|
|
| I'm not sure it really helps
either team all that much, but Wells is an upgrade, and Frazier is younger. |
|
|
| New York
gets: $300,378 |
|
|
| Texas gets: R Rubinow |
|
|
| What, did they play the Clock
Game? |
|
|
| New York
signs: V Shober, J Pritchett, M
Lansdale |
|
|
| New York cuts: R Gandee |
|
|
| This part of the NY roster
will shuffle more than LomBanner shuffled the bottom of last year's Browns
roster. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: J Pritchard |
|
|
| He's a couple week rental,
let's face it. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: S Warren |
|
|
| Warren is clearly a camp guy. |
|
|
| North Dakota
signs: K S Womack |
|
|
| Good guy to get. |
|
|
| OIFL 2014 Week
6 Update |
|
|
| Boston
gets: K Hartsock, C Faes |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: J Collins, E3, E4 |
|
|
| Boston needed a bit of depth,
and this'll do that. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: K Cruise |
|
|
| Good pickup for the Squirrels
in a time of need. |
|
|
| Eugene
gets: S Guerrero |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: E4 |
|
|
| If they hit sleepers with
these, KC could get good in a right quick hurry. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: Bobcat |
|
|
| They wanted someone with
experience for this short-term thing.
They got it. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: G Lennox |
|
|
| He's just not quite the player
he used to be. |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: P Govan |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: E3 |
|
|
| The rebuild continueth. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: J King, J Enderle, H Rosenthal,
T Evans |
|
|
| This isn't 2001, no 15-player
rosters, folks. |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: S Harlan, LON E2 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: Z Legend |
|
|
| The Rush got better for right
now with this, and it's something they've needed. |
|
|
| Boston
cuts: J Pritchard |
|
|
| Interesting. He'll get a job. |
|
|
| North Dakota
cuts: J van Bosco |
|
|
| He isn't close to ready for
primetime. |
|
|
| OIFL 2014 Week
5 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: TB E4 |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: J Kristen |
|
|
| The question now becomes, does
Kristen start on Sunday? |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: $1K |
|
|
| London gets: TB E4 |
|
|
| This is apparently some sort
of "make good" on an earlier deal where KC didn't have an E4. So, they got $1,000 for Joel Kristen. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: W Church, E3, B Jones, K
Harbaugh |
|
|
| Wisconsin gets: L Credille, A Carlton, FM E1 |
|
|
| It's always tough to pull the
trigger to blow it up, but that doesn't make it the wrong decision. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: M Frager |
|
|
| He knows the system a bit. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: N Lang |
|
|
| If there were minors here,
he'd be on the I-19 express to Nogales every other week. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: S Warren |
|
|
| He just doesn't have anything
left in the tank. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: J Silverstein, R Johns, E3 |
|
|
| Tucson gets: J Rohr |
|
|
| The Tigers have to be pleased
with a fair haul for Rohr. |
|
|
| Tucson
signs: J Morrow |
|
|
| Who doesn't want a guy who
needs 13 years to develop? |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: R Payton |
|
|
| Obvious. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: K Patton |
|
|
| Also obvious. |
|
|
| OIFL 2014 Week
4 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: A Morre, NY E1 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: T Watson, ND E3, ND E5 |
|
|
| Watson's a good player, but
the E1 might be a little high. |
|
|
| North Dakota
signs: D Tate |
|
|
| Yeah, like they had a
choice? Kidding aside, if Ekebi slips
up, I can see ND starting Tate during this run. |
|
|
| Seattle
signs: J Hart |
|
|
| Sources say this is purely
because the Serpents are worried they'll be forced to move Greene to QB, and
need an OS-type. |
|
|
| New York
signs: R Gandee |
|
|
| Purely injury
replacement. But he's gonna get some
cash again. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: A Morre |
|
|
| Kansas City signs: M Hintze, C Decker |
|
|
| Morre was the throw-in that
basically acted as cash for the Blitz.
No shock here; KC already has a kicker. |
|
|
| OIFL 2014 Week
3 Update |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: L Zimmerman, K Patton |
|
|
| Patton's a bit of a surprise,
but Zimmerman fits the Evansville mold well. |
|
|
| Iowa
signs: L Jackson |
|
|
| Good add for a team with a
roster spot before injuries. |
|
|
| Tucson
signs: N Lang |
|
|
| You knew he'd be first man up
when someone got hurt. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: E3, E5 |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: D Concepcion |
|
|
| This is an absolute must-get
for the Nighthawks when you're down a Degan. |
|
|
| New York
signs: K Ludeman |
|
|
| New York cuts: C Gerhart |
|
|
| Same type of player, but
Ludeman's a bit better both ways. |
|
|
| New York
gets: R June, E3 |
|
|
| Texas gets: H Jackson, $350K |
|
|
| A little surprised June is the
one the E3 is tagged to, but we'll go with it. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: T Rush |
|
|
| Good signing here. Opens up a Tre Watson trade possibility. |
|
|
| OIFL Week 2
Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: B Nordhoff |
|
|
| So they're not going the Fort
Mac route. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island signs: J Kennedy, S Warren |
|
|
| I think there could have been
better options here. And if that line
doesn't hold up, people are going to tee off on Hiruma. |
|
|
| Berlin
signs: J Henry |
|
|
| Berlin cuts: T Rush |
|
|
| A fourth-string running back
isn't much use, now, is it? |
|
|
| OIFL Week 1
Update - June 20, 2014 |
|
|
| New York
cuts: D Caruthers |
|
|
| Someone had to go when the
Carper deal was made. |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: N Basten, J Silverstreak, M
Lansdale, J Casey, R Clay, Q Janssen, R Logiovino |
|
|
| They generally make sense to
me. |
|
|
| Vicenza
cuts: F Jones, O Vernon, D Badnell, B
McGee |
|
|
| Vernon's been with the
franchise on and off since the Central Iowa days. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: D Takechi |
|
|
| Kansas City cuts: M Frager, H Rosenthal, R Gandee, J Annette,
J Rodriquez, J Ruffin, K Ludeman, K St. Pierre, T Evans |
|
|
| This is the first time in
awhile KC isn't one of the 5 oldest teams in the OIFL. |
|
|
| Ohio
cuts: S Paine, M Guiel, J Shields, R
Meadows, D Centerfield, C Decker |
|
|
| Give San Fran credit, somehow
their pick Servejuan Paine is still in the league. |
|
|
| Chicago
cuts: J Oakley |
|
|
| He's been there awhile, which
might be part of the problem. He's
been good enough to be there awhile. |
|
|
| Boston
cuts: O Baston, B Willard, L Hahn, K
Powers, K Mann, S Farson |
|
|
| I waited until 9:58 PM for
this? |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: R Marve, R Nickerson, D McNeil |
|
|
| McNeil had a good college
career, but he's just not good enough defensively, and is no star
offensively. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: A Snow, M Nice, M Hintze, S
Garz, B Schmitt |
|
|
| This isn't much better than
Boston's, and I waited to 10:19 for it! |
|
|
| OIFL Week 1
Update - June 19, 2014 |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: J Kenendy, D Eldridge |
|
|
| Kennedy's going to wait a few
days to see if he gets a 28th man flyer, but you can expect him to retire as
a member of the Mean Machine. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: H Kane, D Lee |
|
|
| We had a bit of confusion
because STL and EVL both cut a D Lee today. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: S Guerrero, KC E1, R Tucker |
|
|
| London gets: D Walters |
|
|
| And the rebuild begins. London needed another elite offensive guy
who could play a good LB. Boom. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: LA E2, T Watson, J Rohr |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: M Garbinsky, C Isby |
|
|
| Watson's the KC key to this
deal, but this trade gives Los Angeles enough weapons to now give the
Scorpions a scare. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: IOW E1, C Faes |
|
|
| Iowa gets: F Pilarowski |
|
|
| This is the type of trade Iowa
should be making if they want to contend. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: N Lang, J Gilzean |
|
|
| Goodbye and good luck, Mr.
Lang. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: D Lee |
|
|
| See? |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: B Nordhoff, J Henry, K Cruise, T
Clements, R Hutchinson, G Greger |
|
|
| Here's a list of some players
that used to matter. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
cuts: B Bolgrien, H Lightning, Z
Taylor, S Byron, M Kenton, M Rose, L Jackson |
|
|
| WHOA! Jackson won't last the weekend. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: J Manzak, T Heyl, M Inabinett, J
Bailey |
|
|
| Los Angeles signs: R Hutchinson |
|
|
| Well, if you're going to
decide to have a Mobile offense with a run game, you may as well get their
3rd-and-5 receiver…though he can't catch. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: S Beckett, J Rebb, S Womack, N
Whitney, P Stephenson, D Killebrew, R Roy |
|
|
| Other than Womack, there's not
much of a chance for an OIFL roster spot here. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: Q Castle, D d'Andrea, R Spencer,
D Watts, L Peterson |
|
|
| I am surprised by a couple of
those. Not shocked, but surprised. |
|
|
| London
cuts: R Blackwood, I Smith, C Holt, J
Sullivan, G Bulimi |
|
|
| Who? And I created these guys! |
|
|
| North Dakota
cuts: J Sturdevant, S Tualuka, S
Hayward, M Taylor |
|
|
| I promise, I didn't do this. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: $150K |
|
|
| New York gets: J Carper |
|
|
| Money for nothing! |
|
|
| New York
cuts: A Andrew |
|
|
| Someone had to go for Carper. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
cuts: D Fitzgerald, B O'Neill, D
Feist, J Enderle |
|
|
| Finally someone said "to
hell with it I'm getting rid of Enderle." |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: K Baxter, D Takechi, H
Adolphsen, C Quick, T Furutani, B Cooper, L Clark |
|
|
| Now FW needs to look above and
see if anything suits their fancy. |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: J Morrow, E Deblinger, D Jacob |
|
|
| While Morrow fits the
"system" more than Pettyfer, Pettyfer's clearly a better
quarterback. |
|
|
| Preseason Week
2 Update - June 15, 2014 |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: N Van Zant, J Foster, C Lamarshe |
|
|
| They just weren't good enough
to make the roster. |
|
|
| Boston
cuts: L Zimmerman, J Leod, D Allen, A
Geddinger, J MacLagan |
|
|
| This cut pile is full of
potential injury replacements leaguewide, I think. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: J Arzola |
|
|
| Kansas City cuts: J Hart, R Harter, R Gardner, K Patton, D
Clark |
|
|
| I was a little surprised at
Patton, but I bet he's kept on speed dial for when someone gets hurt. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: D Jackson (to retire &
become offensive coordinator) |
|
|
| New York gets: E4 |
|
|
| Yeah, the last Dan Jackson
transaction was his being traded for an E4. |
|
|
| Preseason Week
2 Update - June 11, 2014 |
|
|
| Boston
cuts: E Brown, D Tate, J Weber |
|
|
| Tate's bounced around so many
places in his career… |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: E Cohen, R Newman |
|
|
| New York gets: D Simpson, C Gerhart, $300K |
|
|
| Interesting - Detroit
certainly is young. This really hurts
the offense, though. |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: E Baker, J Neuenswander |
|
|
| Neuenswander could take
advantage of the 28-man roster, given his youth and relative trainability. |
|
|
| Preseason
Weeks 1/2 Update - June 9, 2014 |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: M Horowitz |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: G Rauls, BOS E2 |
|
|
| This is sometimes what happens
when a team goes the "old old old" route to win a title. When the roster doesn't come together every
year, |
|
|
| you sometimes have to
"take a year off" to get back to it. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: B Gates, S Williams |
|
|
| Yeah, get the rosters cut down
a bit here. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: C Kendrick |
|
|
| He simply didn't win the job. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: P McGrain |
|
|
| Boston gets: J Zagadaneca |
|
|
| The Tigers figure to get value
out of a position they can replace in FA is a good move. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: J Thiel |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: BER E2, G Wilson |
|
|
| Nothing solidifies my above
point like trading in-division. |
|
|
| Boston
gets: $500K |
|
|
| Seattle gets: J Bernier |
|
|
| This seems like a high price. |
|
|
| Seattle
signs: D Clough |
|
|
| Sure, I'll take money to be a
subpar OIFL player! |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: J Arzola, B Waylon, B Mira, K
Banks, A Lovo, S King, E Braithwaite |
|
|
| Not a whole lot of note here. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
cuts: D Quan |
|
|
| Yeah, that'll be the end of
that. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: D Fry, F Poley, S Kramer |
|
|
| Detroit gets: J Lofton, D Jackson |
|
|
| I guess if that's your style
back, then Lofton makes sense. |
|
|
| Seattle
cuts: H Keester, G Halbig |
|
|
| They've been made redundant, I
guess. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: M Waxman |
|
|
| There was no chance he'd be on
a roster. |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: B Chopko, Bobcat |
|
|
| Two old guys who could get a
gig somewhere. |
|
|
| Ohio
cuts: M Vladosky |
|
|
| Last year was the last hurrah
for Vladosky. |
|
|
| May 27, 2014
Update |
|
|
| Now they start
coming heavy until kickoff. |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: T Jones, T Knight, C Rieves, D
DeLap, S Warren, T Bray |
|
|
| If this doesn't just prove
Detroit is turning a new leaf and going with the youth, nothing will. |
|
|
| Seattle
cuts: G McCourtney |
|
|
| He just isn't good enough to
make the Seattle roster. Simple as
that. |
|
|
| Portland
cuts: S Waltman, G Anderson, M Anesi,
J Schell-Buchanan |
|
|
| Portland signs: S Masterson, D Butler |
|
|
| You can bet this isn't the
last that Portland's going to finagle with the bottom of their roster before
Week 1. |
|
|
| May 26, 2014
Update |
|
|
| New York
cuts: R Poh, M Metchikoff, D Vickers,
D Butler |
|
|
| Metchikoff moves over to NY's
coaching staff. Vickers might get a
job elsewhere. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: L Hudson, B Duross, T Beisten, S
Cohen, K Sparrow, R Stylio, S Williams, N o'Dougherty, D Clough, S Masterson,
B Cameron |
|
|
| Thanks for losing by 137, now
get out. |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: W Wexner, O Monahans, J Pittman,
R Lynch, J Pritchett, J King |
|
|
| Some names on this one, but
I'm not sure many of them will get a job. |
|
|
| May 6, 2014
Update |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: R Johns |
|
|
| Boston gets: Q Worrell |
|
|
| Worrell is turning into a
modern-day Jeremy Wensely, in that everyone wants to trade for him…and then
trade him when they do. |
|
|
| Tucson
signs: B Gates |
|
|
| Usually OIFLCup contenders
aren't going after FA fodder. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: T LiPetri, A Catalano, M Lloyd,
M Hodge, K Pung |
|
|
| I've heard of three of these
names, but that doesn't mean their careers aren't over. |
|
|
| Iowa
cuts: W Catchem, M Pittman |
|
|
| Just guys that aren't going to
be good enough to play today. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: E2 |
|
|
| Berlin gets: M Blevins |
|
|
| I get that he's been made
expendable, but I think Berlin should be very happy with this trade. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: M Petty, R Apuzzo |
|
|
| New York signs: R Frazier |
|
|
| It's just that bottom-roster
shuffling here. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
cuts: M Jennert, B Gaulke, T Tehrani,
L Fisher, J Parker, F Slade, E Roy, J LeVesque, R Williams, J Jefferson |
|
|
| Oh, you're not making them
play your contending-team starters in a "scrimmage?" |
|
|
| April 20, 2014
Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: L Adama |
|
|
| Detroit gets: conditional E2 (if STL misses playoffs,
it's an E3) |
|
|
| Detroit has a few roster spots
still to figure out, so things like this help. |
|
|
| Portland
cuts: T Banks, D Ford |
|
|
| Didn't even get to a preseason
game. |
|
|
| New York
cuts: J Brinda, J Dottier |
|
|
| Yeah, not much going on there. |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: C Corpian, A Dorotea, D Dykes |
|
|
| Oops, forgot a couple! |
|
|
| April 19, 2014
Update |
|
|
| Berlin
cuts: C Shaw, R Hart, O Odighizuwa, D
Azulay, V Shober, B Thompson, N Makris, C Cromwall, T Haslett, D Acevedo, |
|
|
| D d'Masico, Z Palacio, C
Mazue, T Jacobs, I Cardenas, J Rosen |
|
|
| Beyond Jacobs, I think a
couple of guys have a shot to make a roster, preferably one that doesn't mind
lower leadership. |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: C Ramirez, C Manuao, C
Grabowski, J Kneubuhler, M Hatchett, M Dylan, N Krohne, A Gallof, B Corine, F
Jorgensen, |
|
|
| D Schaffenberger, I Laron, J
Anderson, J Darlienengo, K Starr, M Manring, N McFadden, R Laurent, B Gates,
H Fujinaka, O Erdahk, |
|
|
| J Teller, H Charnock, W Lemon,
E Joe, H King, J Mitchell, J Hornsby, M Mohr, D Gliem, J Krusa, L Paridon, F
Enninga, F Nelson, |
|
|
| A little house cleaning. |
|
|
| April 8, 2014
Update |
|
|
| Long Island
cuts: T Fuamatu, B Quadland, H
Morrison |
|
|
| Thanks for playing! |
|
|
| Long Island
cuts: B Blaze |
|
|
| One of the quietest
"pretty darn good careers" in league history ends as Blaze accepts
a coaching position. |
|
|
| March 2, 2014
Update |
|
|
| Actually,
nothing to report here before the moratorium. |
|
|
| February 27,
2014 Update |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: J Bradley, H Conduttori |
|
|
| Berlin gets: I Gillian, E3, $500K |
|
|
| One has to start wondering if
Brian isn't just trolling us with his bank account. |
|
|
| New York
signs: A Reyeb, D Butler, B Quadland |
|
|
| Reyeb has fallen off in a
rather quick fashion… |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: J Hart |
|
|
| He's the type of guy KC would
use, yes. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: J Foster, C LaMarshe, N Van
Zant |
|
|
| Golly I wonder if they'll make
the 28-man. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: H Kane |
|
|
| Probably another camp cut. |
|
|
| February 23,
2014 Update |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: L Haywood, D Bell-Drummond |
|
|
| Wheee? |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: POR E3, SEA E3 |
|
|
| Portland gets: M Wobet |
|
|
| Portland might have overpaid. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: M Farris, I Gillian |
|
|
| D.C. gets: 2015 E1, B Rozier |
|
|
| Tampa's playing for today, and
only today. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: F Miles |
|
|
| Berlin gets: $1M |
|
|
| Iowa wouldn't have had to do
this if they didn't trade their Cup chances away yesterday. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
signs: B O'Neill, J Jefferson, J
Levesque, M Jennert, B Gaulke, F Slade, T Tehrani, E Roy, L Fisher, J Parker |
|
|
| Detroit can't have all the
fun. |
|
|
| February 22,
2014 Update |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: LON E2, NY E2, contingent future
considerations |
|
|
| London gets: T Gervasi, DC E3 |
|
|
| Doesn't seem to be the most
earth-shattering trade. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: J Giefer |
|
|
| London gets: TUC E4, TUC E5, B Reilly |
|
|
| I figured Reilly would be the
key guy who took real advantage of the 28-man roster. |
|
|
| Chicago
cuts: G Mary, J Parker |
|
|
| It has to suck for the guys
who got cut because all they were were sleeper shots, not even useful for
camp… |
|
|
| New York
gets: H Jackson, M Dadey, T Fuamatu,
$950K |
|
|
| Detroit gets: C Sarvas, R Mansaur, S Maivia, M Bailey, N
Basten, M Singh, V Sweeton, J Casey, K Starr, J Mitchell, O Erdahk, T Jones |
|
|
| Losing Dadey is a blow to a
franchise where he was basically the key to.
But they had to rebuild the roster 1-28 to move |
|
|
| back towards prominence. This trade should help with that. |
|
|
| Portland
gets: J Chapman |
|
|
| Eugene gets: N Chiricosta |
|
|
| Portland just can't keep away
from the Chapmans… |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: J Welker |
|
|
| Portland gets: T Banks, C Mays, 2015 E4, E5 |
|
|
| Welker's actually a decent
form-fitting backup to RoYo…not as good anywhere, but the same style. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: L Rohtin, K Farmington, M
Samuels |
|
|
| Iowa gets: B Schauber, C Antai, M Lawrence |
|
|
| Clearly, one team's more
worried about the luxury tax than the other. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: J Maurer, C Young, G Tiebach |
|
|
| Detroit gets: J Castle, C Corpian, P Boyd, TB E2, $500K |
|
|
| Well, clearly Tampa's cashing
in on the cash they have. |
|
|
| Detroit
signs: A Dorotea, A Gallof, B Chopko,
B Corine, B Gates, Bobcat, C Grabowski, C Mancio, C Ramirez, C Rieves, D
Dykes |
|
|
| D Gliem, D Schaffenberger, E
Baker, E Joe, F Enninga, F Jorgensen, F Nelson, H Fujinaka, H King, I Laron,
J Darlienengo |
|
|
| J Hornsby, J Kneubuhler, J
Krusa, L Paridon, M Hatchett, M Manning, N Krohne, N McFadden, W Lemon |
|
|
| This will make for one of the
most intense camps I've ever run. And
longest. |
|
|
| New York
signs: B Blaze, C Kendrick, J Brinda,
J Dottier, M Metchikoff, R Apuzzo, R Newman, R Poh, R Rubinow |
|
|
| Not many teams truly improved
themselves in this FA pile, but New York got some much-needed (post-Dadey)
depth. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: D Clark, G Madison, H
Rosenthal, M Frager, R Gandee, R Gardner, R Harter |
|
|
| This is right in KC's
wheelhouse, acquiring veteran pieces in a FA pile to help with another run. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: D d'Andrea, D Watts, R Spencer |
|
|
| The Fatmen desperately need
the backup to Mo. |
|
|
| Texas
signs: D Jackson, P Reynolds |
|
|
| Texas put up money to get good
depth here. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: D Yell |
|
|
| Yell is at a position of need
for the Rush. |
|
|
| Portland
signs: G Anderson, M Anesi |
|
|
| Young guys who could develop,
good signings by the Pioneers. |
|
|
| Iowa
signs: G Wilson, M Pittman |
|
|
| They don't make up for the
Tampa trade, but it's something. |
|
|
| Berlin
signs: J Daugherty |
|
|
| Berlin got their kicker of the
future. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
signs: L Freemna, M Nice |
|
|
| Backup pieces, mostly. |
|
|
| Boston
signs: L Quick, R Johns |
|
|
| You realize Johns has been
around long enough that he was the backup to Tony Akins in Arkansas? |
|
|
| Vicenza
signs: N Wire, P Dumont, T Bayfield, V
Simecka |
|
|
| Typical Vicenza signings,
useful guys for a low price. |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: R Lynch |
|
|
| Lynch thought this is his best
shot to make a roster. |
|
|
| Tucson
signs: R Stylio, S Williams |
|
|
| Not the haul of camp fodder
the Scorpions had hoped for. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: S Womack |
|
|
| Womack could be the guy to
replace Phelps. |
|
|
| London
signs: T Maddox |
|
|
| Maddox is going to be Kidd
Gunn's backup, and now London won't be freaked if Gunn gets hurt. |
|
|
| February 15,
2014 Update |
|
|
| New York
cuts: D Schaffenberger |
|
|
| The first cut of the draft
class! |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: B Jones III, Y Dunmore, 2015 E1,
E2, CC 2015 E1 |
|
|
| Seattle gets: L Taylor |
|
|
| Seattle will depend on Taylor
an awful lot in 2014, just based on the price paid for his services. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: C Blitzem, W Blitzem, J
Bieniek, 2015 DC E5 |
|
|
| Tucson gets: R Ledbetter, B Reilly, G Rauls |
|
|
| I'm not sure what this does in
either direction, really. |
|
|
| Portland
gets: D Alexander, J Deshazor, J
Welker, 2015 E2 |
|
|
| Chicago gets: B Graham |
|
|
| Though I'd have kept the rook,
it's probably not a bad trade for Portland. |
|
|
| Portland
gets: J Wise, 2015 E4 |
|
|
| New York gets: D Alexander |
|
|
| What? |
|
|
| February 10,
2014 Update |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: T Bruttenholm |
|
|
| Tucson gets: J Krivenko, 2015 E1, E2, E5 |
|
|
| This seems a high price. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: E4-14 |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: E4-23, $500K |
|
|
| Seems a fair price to still
get a sleeper shot. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: $1 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: S Andrews, 2015 E5 |
|
|
| Sometimes being in the right
place at the right time is just good enough. |
|
|
| February 7,
2014 Update |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: K Anthony |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: 2015 E3 |
|
|
| When you can get something for
a guy who you probably don't want, that's a win. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island signs: B Reilly |
|
|
| Reilly could be of use to the
Blitz. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: E4-13, D2-17 |
|
|
| Ohio gets: C Fernandez |
|
|
| I'm not sure Fernandez is
better than the D2-17. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: E3-13 |
|
|
| Ohio gets: $345K |
|
|
| Ohio seems happy with their
roster as-is. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: T Evans, D2-5, D2-10 |
|
|
| London gets: R Dawson |
|
|
| London's really starting to
use their assets to get better players, but KC will be very very happy with
this haul. |
|
|
| London
gets: D Martin |
|
|
| D.C. gets: E3-15 |
|
|
| London's doing what you should
do if you don't really want sleeper shots. |
|
|
| Boston
gets: D2-13, E5-14 |
|
|
| Ohio gets: $700K |
|
|
| Ohio could also be needing
cash. |
|
|
| Boston
gets: E4-4, E4-5, E4-11, E5-12 |
|
|
| Vicenza gets: $2M, $1M if Boston hits a sleeper with
those picks. |
|
|
| Boston's driving up the price… |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: E3-27, E3-28, E4-21, E4-22 |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: 2015 E2 |
|
|
| Apparently the Storm aren't
into sleeper shots. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: E3-22 |
|
|
| London gets: E3-27, E4-22 |
|
|
| London is going for sleepers,
so why not another shot? |
|
|
| February 5,
2014 Update |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: D Stephens |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: S Weeks |
|
|
| Weeks was this year's Iowa
scapegoat. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island signs: A Morre |
|
|
| Maybe a kicker competition? |
|
|
| February 4,
2014 Update |
|
|
| The multi
drafts at same time thing has kept me busy… |
|
|
| Portland
gets: K Domena |
|
|
| London gets: K Neighbors, D2-5 |
|
|
| London doesn't need the QB to
pan out to a star, just a useful Kidd Gunn backup. Getting an early D2 for that is big. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: D1-18, 2015 E2 |
|
|
| Boston gets: F Anthony, E3-19 |
|
|
| I guess getting Anthony is a
sure thing. |
|
|
| New York
gets: J Casey |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: 2015 KC E5 |
|
|
| Nothing like giving up
approximately zilch for a guy. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: D1-23 |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: E3-2, D2-16 |
|
|
| Tucson will get the best
player, but I do like Boyd more than most teams seem to have… |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: E3-27, E3-28, E4-22, E4-23, M
Kenton |
|
|
| New York gets: C Prescott, J Wise |
|
|
| Looks like the Mean Machine
are cashing out sleeper shots for guys that they know can help them. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
gets: T Furutani, J Blackwell, N
Takechi, D Takechi |
|
|
| Portland gets: E3-3 |
|
|
| If anything says "we're
not tanking the last 6 games of the season anymore," it's trading all
the starters in those 6 games. |
|
|
| February 3,
2014 Update |
|
|
| Chicago
gets: K Graham, N Nash, S Ness |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: D1-8 |
|
|
| Chicago desperately needs
depth more than one player; this is a solid move. |
|
|
| North Dakota
gets: E3-18, M Taylor, $1M |
|
|
| D.C. gets: E2-15 |
|
|
| The Nighthawks do usually play
close to the edge financially, no doubt… |
|
|
| London
gets: D2-10, E3-15, J Smith |
|
|
| D.C. gets: D1-20, E2-22, C Rhodes |
|
|
| Seems a reasonably even swap
here. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: Q Schelleneger, A Malifa, B
Blind |
|
|
| Eugene gets: D1-13 |
|
|
| Hard to call - 3 useful guys
who can be built, or one star-level guy? |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: 2015 E2 |
|
|
| Tucson gets: D2-16, E3-24, E3-25 |
|
|
| The Storm are basically full,
but I think I'd have drafted a guy at D2-16 and see what came about. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
signs: D Quan |
|
|
| Quan will be camp fodder. |
|
|
| Super Bowl
Sunday 2014 Update |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: D1-13, D2-7 |
|
|
| Berlin gets: T Rush, E2-7, E2-8, E5-4, E5-7, E5-20 |
|
|
| This is unlike Berlin, but
they thought highly of Rush. |
|
|
| London
gets: D1-2, E5-19, J Guzman |
|
|
| New York gets: M Muddleston, B Blaze, J Zie, 2015 KC E5 |
|
|
| While this isn't a normal Jeff
Rosenberg deal (e.g. to give up the star for depth), they have a lot more
holes than one |
|
|
| Samuel Haverman will
fill. And this was also a no-brainer
for London. |
|
|
| Portland
gets: E2-25, E2-29, D2-5, 2015 E3,4,5 |
|
|
| Seattle gets: E2-2 |
|
|
| Portland couldn't turn down
this offer. |
|
|
| Berlin
gets: S McGee |
|
|
| London gets: E2-14 |
|
|
| Berlin has plenty of a youth
movement, and McGee will help them. |
|
|
| February 1,
2014 Update |
|
|
| London
gets: 2015 E1, E3-22 |
|
|
| Detroit gets: E1-21, $500K |
|
|
| Detroit needs talent now, so
this makes sense for them. |
|
|
| January 30,
2014 Update |
|
|
| Berlin
gets: D1-13, P Sokol, E2-5, E2-14,
E3-17, 2015 E3, E4, E5 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: E1-9, E1-23 |
|
|
| Note - I'll get the 2015 picks
somewhere here shortly; I have them on paper.
Interesting trade here. |
|
|
| London
gets: 2015 KC draft, $400K |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: J Mouton, D2 |
|
|
| London needs to get talent
today, not tomorrow. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: 2015 VAN E2, D2-10, future
considerations if a sleeper |
|
|
| New York gets: O Linton, E3-26, E3-27, D2-15 |
|
|
| Linton is probably the start
of this unless a sleeper gets hit. |
|
|
| London
gets: E2-22, E4-19, E5-21, 2015 TEX
E1, $600K |
|
|
| Texas gets: E1-20, 2015 KC E2 |
|
|
| Texas saw someone they liked,
it appears, though the E1-20 is probably better than what London'll get next
year. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: D1-5, J Meriwether, J Wise, S
Andrews |
|
|
| Seattle gets: W Berry, 2015 CC E1 |
|

| So yeah, Seattle wanted Berry… |

|
| Vancouver Island gets: $500K |
|
|
| Clearly, the Blitz were trying
to offload Mann any way they could. |
|
|
| New York
gets: D Flanders |
|
|
| Vicenza gets: J Cocherell, L Reynolds, E4-5 |
|
|
| Probably a salary move by
Vicenza. |
|
|
| Seattle
gets: G o'Campo |
|
|
| New York gets: M Bailey, E3-25, E3-28, E5-19 |
|
|
| Sometimes I don't know what
teams are looking for. |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: D Lee, future considerations |
|
|
| New York gets: E4-24 |
|
|
| That gives the Mean Machine
four straight E4 picks. |
|
|
| Chicago
signs: O Cringle, S Slabody |
|
|
| They got Slabody at a discount
to come back, for sure. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
signs: R Jenkins, M Thompson, S Byron,
Z Taylor, H Lightning, B Bolgrien, J Little, D Marquardt |
|
|
| Now, unlike last year, a
couple of these could make the roster.
But it's still exceedingly unlikely. |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: K Cruise, O Monahans, B
Nordhoff, C Ahlers, J Henry, J King, O Linton, W Wexner, R Hutchinson, D
Martin, C Daoust |
|
|
| Some names in there, but I'm
not sure how many of these said names will be on DC's 28-man. |
|
|
| Detroit
signs: D DeLap, T Knight, J
Neuenswander, T Bray |
|
|
| They may have taken smaller
offers to go there, but Detroit's a place they could at least have a shot to
make the roster. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: T Henry |
|
|
| Not the top dollar offer, but
Henry wanted a cup shot and he gets one with the coach he won two with. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
signs: F Tenshin |
|
|
| I think he'll be hard pressed
to be particularly useful. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: J Rodriquez |
|
|
| Lysoby only makes one
acquisition, but you know Rodriquez will be useful for the champs. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: T Heyl, J Glass |
|
|
| Glass would've been nice last
year when Matthew Lavergne had to play. |
|
|
| New York
signs: D Vickers, H Morrison, M Kenton |
|
|
| Will any of them make the Mean
Machine roster? |
|
|
| Ohio
signs: J Shields, B Babcock |
|
|
| Babcock probably has more
experience than he deserves. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: G Hoffert, J Loria |
|
|
| Rattlers fans have to be
pleased with these pickups. |
|
|
| Seattle
signs: S Andrews |
|
|
| There's always one… |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: B O'Dell, D Caruther |
|
|
| Caruther was right; the Rush
came around. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
signs: D Feist, M Ruddick |
|
|
| The Marauders needed DS help;
not sure if this is enough of it… |
|
|
| Tucson
signs: T Beistel, B Cameron, M Hodge,
K Pung, T LiPetri, D Clough, N O'Dougherty |
|
|
| Probably mostly cut fodder
here. |
|
|
| Vicenza
signs: Q Ammons, R Auger, F Jones, T
Babthorpe |
|
|
| You know he'll find a way to
make it work. |
|
|
| January 19,
2014 Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: D Caruther |
|
|
| Caruther wanted more overall
than the Rush wanted to pay. So here
we are. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
gets: D1-4 |
|
|
| Iowa gets: D1-3 |
|
|
| What? |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: E3-2, E3-16, E3-19, E4-2, E5-2,
E5-27, E5-30 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: $2.5M, cash consideration if any of those
is a sleeper |
|
|
| I didn't think the Blitz
needed cash. |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: J Rodriquez, N Capps |
|
|
| Capps is probably done as an
OIFLer, while Rodriquez should catch on as a backup somewhere. |
|
|
| Berlin
cuts: M Ruddick |
|
|
| I'm a little surprised;
Ruddick will get a job. |
|
|
| Chicago
cuts: S Slabody |
|
|
| He really fell out of favor as
the season went on there, but they do completely lack a receiving corps. |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: Q Ammons |
|
|
| They couldn't agree on money. |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: C Ahlers, M Mauller |
|
|
| Mauller wanted some guaranteed
cash in the form of a minimum salary; instead, he's going to retire. |
|
|
| Eugene
cuts: S Kaplan, D Quan |
|
|
| Blah. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: L Vogel, O Cringle, T Heyl, K
Cruise |
|
|
| The best kicker ever is
gone. He's going to play somewhere in
2014, though. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: W Wexner, A Granger, I Sanders |
|
|
| Granger has decided to
retire. The other two may not get the
choice. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: R Brownings, J Little, A Morre |
|
|
| Brownings got his ring and
even played a few special teams snaps for it.
But that's it for his career. |
|
|
| London
cuts: J Loria, M Hodge |
|
|
| Loria will be a backup
somewhere, as he has for a decade now. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: A Mizerak |
|
|
| And the quintessential veteran
journeyman backup will find a job or six somewhere else next year. |
|
|
| North Dakota
cuts: D Martin, M Kenton, D Kulwicki |
|
|
| Three guys that could get FA
jobs. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: H Morrison, L McKay, J Glass |
|
|
| Basically, old guy
replacements for other players that got hurt.
No shocks here. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: B Nordhoff |
|
|
| Even with 28 man rosters, a
backup kicker is superfluous. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
cuts: M Stubbs, T Richmond |
|
|
| Two fringe hall of fame
talents go off into the sunset. |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: G Norman |
|
|
| And for real this time, Norman
has called it a career. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: F Tenshin |
|
|
| No loss here. |
|
|
| Vicenza
cuts: J King, H Shaw, T Knight, T
Bray, D Schlosser, H McCoy |
|
|
| This has kinda been Vicenza's
MO - get good seasons out of a lot of old guys before they fall off the face
of the Earth. |
|
|
| January 18,
2014 Update |
|
|
| Portland
gets: E1-4 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: E1-13, D2-1, S Hasegawa, future
consideration |
|
|
| Portland is putting all their
eggs in the top of this entry draft, which might actually not be a bad idea. |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: R Auger |
|
|
| He might find a job, or he
could be on the short list of "when someone gets hurt" QBs. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
cuts: B Reilly |
|
|
| He'll get a job. The 28 man roster really helps someone like
him. |
|
|
| January 17,
2014 Update |
|
|
| Newcastle
releases: T Henry |
|
|
| Class move by the Night
Riders, or Baltimore Thunder, or whatever, letting Henry try to get on with a
contender. |
|
|
| Berlin
cuts: B O'Dell |
|
|
| He just wasn't going to be an
OIFL player at this stage. |
|
|
| Iowa
cuts: W Salazar |
|
|
| He just took too big a hit. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: P Persampieri, J Quinn, R
Jenkins, S Byron, T LiPetri |
|
|
| The old folks home added a few
guys. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: K Pung |
|
|
| He might find a home. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: D Peaches, J Baez, R Williams, J
Enderle, D Fitzgerald, O Bartek |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: E3, K Ludeman, N Nash, R Dawson, S Ness, R
Daves, J Tyseling |
|
|
| What was the point of this? |
|
|
| Ohio
gets: D1-17, D2-17, D Macgruder, C
Decker, M Guiel |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: D1-13, P Sokol |
|
|
| Ohio needs depth, and this
move will help that. But Guiel is the
modern day Will Harwood. |
|
|
| Eugene
gets: B Webb, J Tuia |
|
|
| Portland gets: E1-13, E2-13, B Matthews |
|
|
| Webb hasn't been great with
Portland, but he doesn't have to be in Eugene. |
|
|
| Berlin
gets: TB E3 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: D2-22 |
|
|
| That's a typical Lysoby pick
he wants. |
|
|
| Iowa
cuts: S Andrews |
|
|
| A mild surprise, but Iowa's
trying to save a few bucks. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: D Millington, C Daoust |
|
|
| Daoust is a mild surprise. |
|
|
| January 12,
2014 Update |
|
|
| Happy 2014! |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: D1-4 |
|
|
| Detroit gets: G Tiebach, M Thompson, D1-22 |
|
|
| I'm not seeing where this
really helps Detroit. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: G Hoffert |
|
|
| Apparently it's a mafia thing. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: A Phelps |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: J Peacock, D2 |
|
|
| Though Dylan always loved
Phelps, you can replace a kicker. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: E2-6, $100K, future
considerations |
|
|
| New York gets: J Cocherell, D1-19, future considerations |
|
|
| An interesting trade, I will
admit. |
|
|
| Chicago
gets: J Welker |
|
|
| Portland gets: E2-2, E2-9 |
|
|
| Chicago needs to get the
passing game figured out, not more runners. |
|
|
| Newcastle
cuts: D Clough, R Kardok |
|
|
| I don't think we're missing
much here. |
|
|
| Portland
cuts: B Cameron, J Neuenswander |
|
|
| Cameron's probably done, but
it's been a good run. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: D1-19, D2-2, E2-12, E4-15,
E4-17, E5-6, E5-23, J Cooper, N Olson, C Fernandez |
|
|
| New York gets: D1-10, D2-20 |
|
|
| The Rattlers have had some
success with sleepers before, so this is no shock. |
|
|
| North Dakota
cuts: D Martin, M Kenton |
|
|
| Injuries were the only reason
they were here, so this was predictable. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: N Haze, M Ogwynn, E2-18, E3 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: V Bloom, E2-5 |
|
|
| This could work out OK both
ways. |
|
|
| Seattle
cuts: S Church |
|
|
| Even at 28, backup OS guys
probably aren't very useful. |
|
|
| Berlin
gets: D2-7, D2-22, future
considerations |
|
|
| Iowa gets: d Poole |
|
|
| I think you'd get two backup
level OS with the picks, but I guess this is more of a guarantee. |
|
|
| December 15,
2013 Update |
|
|
| San Antonio
amnesties: R Hutchinson |
|
|
| This email was actually sent
well before the OIFLCup Game, so it's a legal amnesty cut. |
|
|
| North Star
gets: R Mansaur, D1-1, E4-1 |
|
|
| Portland gets: E1-2, E2-20 |
|
|
| Portland is going with youth,
the soon-to-be Mean Machine is looking for what Jeff always looks for. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: D McConnell, A McDaniel, G
Peterson |
|
|
| Berlin gets: O Rodriguez, R Cabell, E1-16 |
|
|
| Iowa's not going to stand pat
this offseason. They better not,
though, plan on starting McConnell at QB if they want to win a title. |
|
|
| Berlin
gets: E1-8, E1-9 |
|
|
| Iowa gets: D1-7, D2-7 |
|
|
| This isn't a normal Colin
trade…acquiring entry draft picks? |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: E1-14, E2-14 |
|
|
| Washington gets: K Makhoul |
|
|
| Might be an overpay for
Makhoul, though he's certainly more proven than rookies. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: E1-12, E3-27, K Bucher, J
Pittman, $250K if NS hits a sleeper |
|
|
| North Star gets: D1-15, D
Hensel, D Webb, E4-15, E4-17, E4-21,22,23 |
|
|
| Money is clearly no object to
the Mean Machine. |
|
|
| London
gets: R Tucker, future considerations |
|
|
| North Star gets: J Olson |
|
|
| Likely the future
considerations involve 2015 draft picks. |
|
|
| OIFLCup week
Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: J Little, R Brownings |
|
|
| I would have bet real money
the Tigers signed an old Lysoby favorite in Brownings. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 19
Update |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: K Cruise |
|
|
| Not ideal, but Cruise has been
on rosters almost all year. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 18
Update |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: A Mizerak |
|
|
| You can do worse. |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: J Pritchett, M Mauller |
|
|
| This isn't the best time to
bring on new players, so getting guys with a lot of experience is a major
deal. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 17
Update |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: K Cruise |
|
|
| Well, he's been in and out, so
not unlikely he doesn't get another call somewhere. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: C Cooper |
|
|
| Los Angeles cuts: H Adcock |
|
|
| Yeah, but can he throw? |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: H Gordon |
|
|
| Gordon could be an important
piece to someone, somewhere. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 16
Update |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: H Adcock |
|
|
| Here we go again! |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: T Fujitake, C Cooper |
|
|
| Fujitake might have something
to offer to a team needing a lineman. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: J Shields |
|
|
| He might get a job for a
playoff team that needs someone. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 15
Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: T LiPetri |
|
|
| Well, you coulda booked this
the second Greywacz got hurt. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: H Adcock |
|
|
| Probably a depth starved team
could still use him. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: H Green |
|
|
| Same here, really. |
|
|
| Iowa
signs: L Butler |
|
|
| Yeah, they had to do something. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 14
Update |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: H Goulet |
|
|
| Lang finally returned, so you
knew this was coming. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: R Jenkins, T Fujitake |
|
|
| Just some health guys for a
spell. |
|
|
| North Star
signs: E Cohen |
|
|
| North Star cuts: W Bazile |
|
|
| How many lives does this cat
Cohen have? |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: J Pritchett |
|
|
| Now that they actually got
some guys healthy… |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: L McKay |
|
|
| Can't say anyone's shocked
that this is the guy they brought in. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 13
Update |
|
|
| These are
always the nicest updates, after the trade deadline. |
|
|
| Boston
signs: J MacLagan |
|
|
| Well, they had to get someone! |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: H Adcock |
|
|
| Los Angeles cuts: M Mauller |
|
|
| Adcock can still help a team a
little. |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: T Clements, C Ahlers |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: A Mizerak, C Decker |
|
|
| If a team needs a backup QB
right now, Mizerak is the guy. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: C Decker |
|
|
| Los Angeles cuts: L Butler |
|
|
| Decker has more of a long-term
future, perhaps. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 12 -
Trade Deadline Week - Update |
|
|
| Tucson
signs: H Goulet, H Green |
|
|
| Well, when your roster gets
beat up like that, you almost have to. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: KC E3 |
|
|
| Boston gets: J Leod, R Johnsen, A Geddinger |
|
|
| Something tells me the Tigers
are trying to open up some space for something. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D Eisenhart, L Byers |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: CC E1, TEX E2, KC E3 |
|
|
| Well, sometimes salary dumps
hurt. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: L Hilton, TB E2, WIS E2 |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: S Richmond |
|
|
| This wasn't the strongest deal
in the rebuild. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: D Fitzgerald |
|
|
| He's got some familiarity of
the KC system. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
signs: G McCourtney |
|
|
| Well, this is a flyer for
McCourtney to get a shot to make a roster next year. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: P Benney, BOS E4, DET E5, $200K
for NTC |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: C Soludo |
|
|
| And there it is. |
|
|
| Vicenza
gets: M Jacobs, B McGee, $250K, DET E4 |
|
|
| North Star gets: W Bazile, C Johnson, VIC E1, VIC E2, TUC E5 |
|
|
| This was an overpay for Mack
Jacobs. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: H Adcock |
|
|
| He might get signed tonight,
who knows! |
|
|
| Boston
gets: T Meyers |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: D Ladd, KC E2, BOS E5 |
|
|
| Just keep getting things
moving forward with the rebuild in Denver. |
|
|
| North Star
gets: A Juarez |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: S Sugaware, NS E3, NS E4, NS E5, TUC E5,
$50K |
|
|
| Hiruma's the long-term QB -
this is just sleeper shots for a backup. |
|
|
| Berlin
gets: H Conduttori |
|
|
| North Star gets: D Jackson, TUC E3, IOW E5 |
|
|
| Seems a fair price for a guy
who will probably be the starting RB for a spell. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: J Morgart |
|
|
| North Star gets: B Spielman, J Cooper |
|
|
| If Weeks slips up, now they
have a guy who they wouldn't mind starting instead. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: K Vidoteca |
|
|
| North Star gets: $650K |
|
|
| Good, let's just give them a
5-year OS for cash. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: M Bell |
|
|
| Is this the end for the
original Bomber? |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: A Morre |
|
|
| Not sure the point here, but I
guess they're not happy with the other Zagadaneca. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: M Glazer, S King, WIS E2, TB E2 |
|
|
| Tucson gets: J Peacock |
|
|
| Boston gets: E Kalp |
|
|
| Well, it's a deal that'll help
Texas in the future, and a lot financially now. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: T Moulton |
|
|
| Well, they had to dump
someone. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: M Edminster |
|
|
| I think someone else will grab
him if the opportunity arises. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 11
Update |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: G Tiebach |
|
|
| D.C. gets: T Sanders, $360K (Tiebach's NTC) |
|
|
| Well, Iowa's still trying to
go for this year, it appears. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: T Jones |
|
|
| He may get a signing elsewhere
before it's all said and done. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: H Morrison, H Adcock |
|
|
| Yay for injury fill-ins! |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: J Manzak, M Edminster |
|
|
| These are better than your
usual Week 11 FA pickups would be. |
|
|
| North Star
cuts: R Brownings, H Greene |
|
|
| North Star signs: T Jones |
|
|
| Looks like I was right. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 10
Update |
|
|
| Berlin
gets: L Roberts, D Acevedo, J Cain,
IOW E2, TUC E3, RM E3, CC E4, CC E5 |
|
|
| North Star gets: M Jacobs, M Singh, C Reid |
|
|
| Welcome back, Jeff. |
|
|
| North Star signs: R Brownings, M Petty |
|
|
| Wheee! Brownings isn't done just yet. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: O Rodriguez |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: G Rauls, J Cocherell, KC E5 |
|
|
| I guess I'm confused. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: D Webb, T Points, $288K |
|
|
| Boston gets: E Kifer, C Rhea |
|
|
| Again, Boston isn't screwing
around. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: J Little, T LiPetri |
|
|
| Yeah, not a huge loss here. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 9
Update |
|
|
| Boston
gets: M Salinas |
|
|
| Washington gets: T Bedford, K Lemire |
|
|
| Washington needs some depth
and quick, so this works. |
|
|
| Boston
gets: D Ladd |
|
|
| D.C. gets: G Greger, TB E4 |
|
|
| Ladd will help solidify
Boston's backup RB spot. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: A Juarez |
|
|
| North Star gets: S Sugaware, TUC E3, DET E4, CC E5 |
|
|
| This isn't a terrible trade
for North Star, who certainly has other guys who can start at QB. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: S Duncan |
|
|
| North Star gets: S Maivia, CC E4 |
|
|
| Maivia could be an anchor of
the North Star (or whatever they'll become) defensive backfield. |
|
|
| New England
cuts: J Manzak |
|
|
| He just didn't develop, and
Chopko helps them more today. And
today's all that matters. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: F Anthony |
|
|
| North Star gets: D Acevedo, C Fernandez, D Caruthers, BOS
E2, IOW E2, RM E2 E3 E4 E5 |
|
|
| Three E2s were too much to
pass up for a future rebuild. |
|
|
| North Star
gets: J Cain |
|
|
| Chicago gets: J Blackburn |
|
|
| Well, it was a quiet trading
year. Then Jeff came along. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: J Shields |
|
|
| San Antonio cuts: R Brownings |
|
|
| This may really be the end of
the line for Brownings. |
|
|
| North Star
signs: J Pittman, J Guzman, T
Babthorpe |
|
|
| North Star cuts: N o'Dougherty, F Jones, H Morrison, M
McDewitt, A Morre, G McCourtney |
|
|
| I'm a little surprised they
cut Morrison, but backup OS players are replaceable. |
|
|
| North Star
cuts: T Clements, T Babthorpe |
|
|
| Clements could get a job
somewhere else. |
|
|
| Tucson
signs: S Masterson |
|
|
| He's a guy who Tucson could
develop, or just get rid of for a few grand next week. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 8
Update |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: B Bolgrien |
|
|
| Vancouver Island signs: F Tenshin |
|
|
| Well, Bolgrien probably wasn't
going to be useful here for a good number of years with Hiruma. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: T LiPetri |
|
|
| LiPetri was the obvious choice
when Angermeier went down. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 7
Update |
|
|
| Portland
cuts: B Babcock |
|
|
| Portland signs: B Cameron |
|
|
| Babcock just wasn't ready for
an OIFL field. I can see the Pioneers
signing him and camping him again next year, though. |
|
|
| Tucson
signs: T Moulton, M Bell |
|
|
| You know injuries are piling
up if 2013 Milo Bell gets on a roster. |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: K Cruise |
|
|
| I'm a little surprised he
lasted this long, though DS are so plentiful right now. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
gets: E2, E3, E Olczyk |
|
|
| Wisconsin gets: W Church |
|
|
| In two years, Reign fans will
be glad they got rid of that salary.
Today, this kinda hurts. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
signs: C Harbaugh |
|
|
| Wisconsin cuts: O Monahans |
|
|
| Harbaugh's a little on the old
side, admittedly, but he gives the Warlords a backup running back…finally… |
|
|
| Dallas
cuts: H Lightning |
|
|
| Well, you know your career is
on the wrong trajectory if Dallas cuts you. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: T LiPetri |
|
|
| Usually, two quarterbacks is
enough, so this makes sense. |
|
|
| North Dakota
signs: M Kenton |
|
|
| I don't think he'll start, but
they have a roster spot for awhile, so why not?! |
|
|
| 2013 Week 6
Update |
|
|
| North Star
signs: L Reynolds |
|
|
| They need talent wherever they
can get it. |
|
|
| Berlin
gets: R McMasters, IOW E1, WIS E4 |
|
|
| Boston gets: K Davis |
|
|
| You can't say Boston isn't
gunning for something now instead of the future. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: R Brownings |
|
|
| Anything left in the tank? |
|
|
| Boston
gets: T Bell |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: B Jones, TEX E1, KC E1 |
|
|
| Can't say much bad either way
with this one. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: K Farmington |
|
|
| Berlin gets: S Ross, J Rothwell |
|
|
| Berlin cuts: T Babthorpe |
|
|
| Farmington is a bit of an
upgrade, but Berlin didn't get worse by making this trade and cut. |
|
|
| San Jose
cuts: J Guzman |
|
|
| Well, they had to get rid of
someone. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 5
Update |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: B Spielman |
|
|
| Detroit gets: R Logiovino, KC E4 |
|
|
| It's a little cost savings
with about the same overall talent, and a sleeper shot. Why not? |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: M Mauller |
|
|
| It's a nonguaranteed deal, so
how much do you really expect him to bring? |
|
|
| Boston
gets: E Chappelle |
|
|
| Detroit gets: N Capps, STL E5 |
|
|
| Capps isn't enough of a
downgrade to worry about how much money Detroit just saved. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: S Ness |
|
|
| Boston gets: L Zimmerman, TB E4 |
|
|
| I'm not sure I like this trade
for Boston. |
|
|
| Boston
gets: T Jefferson |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: BOS E4 |
|
|
| This is a little better. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: J Little, J Enderle |
|
|
| Because they need to add
payroll? |
|
|
| 2013 Week 4
Update |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
signs: S Church |
|
|
| Well, they have an open slot
right now. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
gets: J Meriwether, TB E1, TB E2 |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: D Garrett |
|
|
| Waaaay back in March of 2009,
after the Marauders took Garrett #2 overall in the OIFL Entry Draft, this
trade was consummated: |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: D Garrett |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: E1, two E2, two E3, two E4, E5, $3M |
|
|
| Was four years of Garrett
worth it? :-D |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: J LaCourte, D Peaches |
|
|
| Detroit gets: J Rodriquez, D Sin, CC E2, EVL E2, TEX E5 |
|
|
| Well, this will reduce
Detroit's salary, anyways. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 3
Update |
|
|
| London
gets: M Hodge, J Mouton, $500K |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: R Benefield, C Goergen |
|
|
| Looks like Buffalo's gonna
chuck it 50 times a game again. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
signs: T LiPetri |
|
|
| Well, in that situation they
could have done worse. |
|
|
| Dallas
gets: R Johns |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: DET E5 |
|
|
| Did Dallas just get their true
QB of the future for an E5? Does
Pettyfer have cause to worry? |
|
|
| Chicago
gets: E2 |
|
|
| North Star gets: V Sweeton, $750K |
|
|
| To hell with the leadership,
the Lumberjacks need talent! |
|
|
| Buffalo
gets: T Bruttenholm |
|
|
| Dallas gets: R Newman, R Frazier, E3, E4, future
considerations |
|
|
| Apparently the future
considerations are performance based on what Bruttenholm does in
Buffalo…could be worth up to a future E1. |
|
|
| Dallas
cuts: S Masterson |
|
|
| They had to get rid of
someone… |
|
|
| Tucson
signs: J Gilzean |
|
|
| Something tells me he won't
log many minutes this year. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: J Leod |
|
|
| Another veteran, just what
they need. |
|
|
| New England
signs: B Chopko |
|
|
| They probably needed to sign
him. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 2
Update |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: S Andrews, KC E4 E5 |
|
|
| Boston gets: 2014 IOW E1 |
|
|
| Iowa's clearly making the
statement they want to win now here.
Those other three E1s may burn a hole in his pocket. |
|
|
| Iowa
cuts: A Elsner, C Ahlers |
|
|
| Iowa signs: W Salazar |
|
|
| Yes, developing young guys is
important…but Iowa's not that old yet, and Salazar helps them win today. |
|
|
| London
cuts: J MacLagan |
|
|
| London signs: J Zie |
|
|
| This is an upgrade at kicker,
for sure. |
|
|
| Iowa
cuts: T Fujitake |
|
|
| Iowa signs: C Mays |
|
|
| Fujitake wasn't developing
like Iowa hoped, but I don't know that Mays woulda been my target. |
|
|
| Boston
signs: J Bernier |
|
|
| Hey, it's better than working
at 7/11. |
|
|
| London
gets: J Olson, $475K |
|
|
| Texas gets: R June, E3, E4, E5 |
|
|
| London desperately wanted the
linebacker for help all over, and it cost them a big time player to get it. |
|
|
| San Jose
signs: J Guzman |
|
|
| Well, he does fill a need now. |
|
|
| London
gets: P Schroeder, T Evans |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: W Wichert, Z Francis-Angol |
|
|
| This is what the Reign need to
do if they're going to rebuild this team that hasn't won. |
|
|
| Three way
trade |
|
|
| Tucson gets: IOW E2, $500K |
|
|
| Boston gets: J Bullock |
|
|
| Iowa gets: DC E1, S Ross, T Sanders |
|
|
| Stop trading, Matt. It's not helping. |
|
|
| Iowa
cuts: M Mauller |
|
|
| Because Iowa had an unending
desire to get worse at OS, Matt Mauller is now out of a job. |
|
|
| Boston
signs: K Powers |
|
|
| Powers could be a steal for
the league minimum in a year or two. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: H Gordon |
|
|
| Gordon's a good stopgap while
someone else is hurt. |
|
|
| 2013 Week 1
Update |
|
|
| Texas
gets: D Wingate, S McGinty, D Jacob, J
Lofton |
|
|
| London gets: S McGee, J MacLagan, $700K |
|
|
| It seems a decent two-way
deal, but I just don't see what the goals are for each. |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: J Shields, C Isby |
|
|
| In a moderate upset, Grayson
Norman has made the Texas Terrors roster. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: M Anastasio, D Christensen, R
Demetriou, S Bollings, M Matsuzaka, L McKay, D Young |
|
|
| It's a little sad for Dylan,
I'm sure, that former and long-time Rattler McKay is done, but it was the
right move here. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: A Geddinger |
|
|
| London gets: Z Francis-Angol |
|
|
| I wasn't aware the Monarchs
needed more young talent. |
|
|
| Dallas
cuts: J Faller, R Blades, S
Kabacinski, F Koloc, J Stamey, M Moeakiola, F Lakha, D Peffley, L St. James |
|
|
| The Diablos desperately must
watch the waiver wire for guys who could not only make their roster, but play
big minutes. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: Q Vadala, T Grayson, Z
Shkenusky, T Grimm |
|
|
| Maybe someone can find a use
for Grayson, but it's slim pickins. |
|
|
| Berlin
cuts: H Goulet, D Calderon, S Warren
(amnesty) |
|
|
| All three of these guys should
make someone's roster. |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: S Garz, C Mays |
|
|
| Garz is a guy who probably is
too ripe with 9s to ever be a starter, but someone who could make a good
backup. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
cuts: R Gardner, L Sims, J Henry |
|
|
| It's a good problem to have,
cutting guys you don't want to. |
|
|
| Chicago
gets: D Alexander, N Bianco |
|
|
| Detroit gets: B Spielman, E4 |
|
|
| Detroit is blowing things
up. Maybe the talent isn't quite
there, but shedding salary is big, too. |
|
|
| London
cuts: R Bastion |
|
|
| He's a kicker a few teams
should look at. |
|
|
| San Jose
cuts: S Ayoung Chee, Q Kirtley, R
Levine, S Wingo, C Machnik, A Burrell, H Lester |
|
|
| This is apparently the Poo Poo
Platter Deluxe. |
|
|
| Chicago
gets: G Krass, $350K |
|
|
| London gets: B Rivera |
|
|
| Can't say Chicago isn't being
aggressive. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: E Diez, M Edminster, R Shelton |
|
|
| Edminster will find a job
somewhere, though you can bet with an injury, it'll be right back to
Evansville. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: B Hewitt |
|
|
| I know a Jerry Hewitt from the
indoor football days (Bienka's BFF), but yeah. |
|
|
| Buffalo
signs: S Bollings, C Isby |
|
|
| Interesting signings, I
wouldn't have given them 3 years though. |
|
|
| Buffalo
cuts: T LiPetri |
|
|
| He'll hang around the FA pile
to see if someone gets interest in him. |
|
|
| Boston
cuts: J Enderle, C Harbaugh, Z Taylor,
N Fronczak, S Church, M Thompson, D Feist |
|
|
| Not every day an
expansion(ish) team cuts guys and multiple ones could get jobs somewhere. |
|
|
| Dallas
cuts: J Pittman, R Strykes |
|
|
| Probably not going on their
Christmas cards that they got cut by Dallas. |
|
|
| Dallas
signs: S Warren, D Calderon |
|
|
| These were desperately needed
signings. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: K Mann, K Anthony |
|
|
| Boston gets: J Pritchard |
|
|
| Pritchard is one of Bill's
original draft picks; this was a very tough deal, but a good one. |
|
|
| Dallas
gets: J Shidecker, TUC E4, LA E4, DET
E5 |
|
|
| Detroit gets: S Nelson |
|
|
| Dallas is in a position where
they can take bad contracts to get good players. |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: D Kinsey, A Liane, E Cohen, J
Cochran, M Kenton, J Guzman, J Bernier |
|
|
| Detroit's going to be running
a little lean financially this year, and these guys were just too lean for
them to keep. |
|
|
| Boston
gets: D Webb |
|
|
| Dallas gets: J Napierala, W Soto |
|
|
| Boston is not screwing around. |
|
|
| Vicenza
cuts: R Brownings, T Moulton |
|
|
| This is about the end for
Brownings. |
|
|
| Dallas
cuts: H Gordon |
|
|
| A little surprised, but
Dallas' bottom 6-7 players will be fluid all year. |
|
|
| Newcastle
cuts: A Zellman, B Davies, R Masupha,
D Neugebauer, Q Vegreault, J Johnson, D Honig, K Taylor |
|
|
| Probably not going to see too
many signings of these guys. |
|
|
| North Dakota
cuts: J Kent, K Moskowitz, L Clozza, R
Jenkins, J Little |
|
|
| Little surprised me, but he's
a backup OS…so it shouldn't be. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: W Salazar, H Adcock, K Cruise |
|
|
| Wisconsin signs: S Garz |
|
|
| I don't know if Salazar is
going to get a job, but there's a chance for all three of these guys. |
|
|
| North Star
cuts: L Hartges, H Bedee, J Gow, B
Chase, T Harris, J Zie |
|
|
| Zie was the kicker of the
future in Long Island. You never know,
he could be again. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: B Chopko, J Leod |
|
|
| Both of these guys could get
work elsewhere, and soon. |
|
|
| Washington
cuts: F Perisi |
|
|
| Eugene cuts: J Weddel |
|
|
| Neither of these will move the
radar any. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: C Noel, J Gilzean, W Berman, H
O'Rourke, K Powers, L Reynolds, K Shimizu, M Petty, U Thomas |
|
|
| Some tough calls here. |
|
|
| New England
cuts: T Trager, M Ladbrooke, J
Schmill, M Proctor |
|
|
| These weren't as tough. |
|
|
| New England
signs: R Gardner |
|
|
| Some WR depth, they needed
that. |
|
|
| Portland
cuts: T White |
|
|
| He's the only guy on their
roster who straight-up can't help them. |
|
|
| 2013 Preseason
Week 2 Update |
|
|
| Texas
cuts: S Zapart |
|
|
| I can't imagine he'll ever
play a down in the OIFL. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: E1, R Logiovino |
|
|
| Berlin gets: J Bradley, B O'Dell, E5 |
|
|
| When you're an OIFLCup
contender, you don't make trades that add you Roxwell Logiovino this year. |
|
|
| Iowa
cuts: J Schillington, C Bromberg |
|
|
| Certainly there was a little
hope these guys would at least fight to be a long-term backup. No. |
|
|
| Three way
trade |
|
|
| Berlin gets: H Koga (VAN), E2 (VAN), D Jackson (NWC) |
|
|
| Newcastle gets: B Rayburn (BER), WAS E5 (VAN), BUF E5 (VAN) |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: E1 (NWC) |
|
|
| I must admit, I'm a little
surprised Newcastle thought quarterback was their problem, though the run
game is an issue there. |
|
|
| This does seal Dan Jackson as
a starter for his 13th OIFL campaign, though. |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: B Cameron |
|
|
| I do think he'll still get a
look somewhere; there are some very 'blah' kickers in the OIFL yet. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: K Street, T Gisele, T Beistel |
|
|
| All three of these guys could
get a gig somewhere…if the price is right, I know where my money lies for
Street. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
gets: M Bailey, S Bolt |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E2 E3 E4 E5, $3M, G Clarke |
|
|
| I think the Reign did OK with
this trade. The cash out stinks, but
they get two pretty good young players to build with. |
|
|
| Boston
cuts: T Cobb, C Bevel |
|
|
| Wheeee? |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: J Avery, J Colombo |
|
|
| It's sad when one of the
greats retires, but there's zero chance John Avery plays again in the OIFL. |
|
|
| London
signs: G Krass |
|
|
| He's going to be a screwball
backup, but they have Louis Clarke, so he's actually a backup in that sense. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: Geoff, A Hicks, J Hoovler, A
Studda, W Prince, J Reed |
|
|
| Is the long
"storied" career of Geoff over? |
|
|
| Newcastle
cuts: V Morrow, C Bordwine, B
Beaulieu, M Black, W Howard |
|
|
| New Hampshire's coaching staff
somewhere is thinking "hey, we could use these guys." |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: Z Adams, P Yee, F Tenshin, B
Karty, J Johnsen, B Goodalle |
|
|
| Can Goodalle make a roster
somewhere? Maybe. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: K Hardman, A Moore, S Medellin,
W Bartlett |
|
|
| I don't think we're cutting
any all-stars here. |
|
|
| 2013 Preseason
Week 1 Update |
|
|
| Washington
cuts: O Winston, R Li, F Montalban, S
Hall, E Feinblatt, C Sterns |
|
|
| I can't see any of these guys
making a roster this year. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
cuts: E Northman, M Fischer, N
Bickers, M Bassett, B Dunlap, K Dutchke, S Baker, D Robar |
|
|
| A Swimm, J Jolorte, D
Mohammed, R Iseman, D Vickers, D DeLap, D Myers, B York, E Duren, J Baptiste,
K Colosi |
|
|
| It's tough for backup DS to
find a home in today's OIFL, especially older ones, but a couple of these
could. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: TUC E3, DET E4, BUF E5 |
|
|
| Tucson gets: D Caruthers |
|
|
| OK, I guess I'll give them
that. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: S McGee |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: EVL E2 |
|
|
| McGee is a backup Texas really
wanted to get. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
cuts: J Sicari, J Bledisa |
|
|
| Yeah, not thinking they're
gonna get work. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: J Rodriquez |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: TEX E3 |
|
|
| This is the life of a fringe
starter level player in the OIFL.
They're our version of "trade pieces to make NBA salaries
match." |
|
|
| June 11, 2013
Update |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: E1, P Goodwin |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: D Madray, VI E4, IOW E4 |
|
|
| Madray is the exact player the
Rattlers needed, and Bill got what he hopes is a high E1 for him. |
|
|
| June 2, 2013
Update |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: D Madray (they pay his
NTC fee of $500K) |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: Z Francis-Angol, CC E1, CC E2 |
|
|
| Let me get this straight…a
team with the rookie of the year RB (who was also MVP) and a solid backup RB
needs to trade |
|
|
| for a veteran RB that expects
to play starter minutes. |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: D O'Neil, M McCalla, J Wilson |
|
|
| I don't see any of these guys
doing much. |
|
|
| May 30, 2013
Update |
|
|
| London
cuts: A LaPetri, E Moore, A Gouveia, V
Zanzibar, M Bell |
|
|
| Is this the end for the OIFL's
last original Bomber? |
|
|
| Chicago
cuts: T Flinton, B Lamers, B Franco, B
Knight |
|
|
| I can't see any of these guys
doing much in the league. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: M Guiel |
|
|
| D.C. gets: IOW E4, LA E5 |
|
|
| Apparently they didn't like
how the first Karl Makhoul experiment went for them. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: TEX E2, TEX E3, TEX E5, D Sin,
$500K |
|
|
| Texas gets: J Olson |
|
|
| Texas isn't in the business of
sleeper fishing anymore. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: A Byron |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: D Caruthers, G Krass (subsequently
amnestied), BUF E1 |
|
|
| D.C. wants a little more
improvement now…Vancouver Island is now a big Buffalo "fan". |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: DC E1, BUF E2 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: T Gervasi |
|
|
| Gervasi might have been
overdrafted, and now he was probably overpaid for in a trade. |
|
|
| Buffalo
gets: T LiPetri |
|
|
| Tucson gets: BUF E5 |
|
|
| While the goal is that LiPetri
doesn't play, he has something left in the tank. |
|
|
| May 21, 2013
Update |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: BOS E3 |
|
|
| London gets: DC E5, C Goergen |
|
|
| This isn't the biggest deal in
the world, but London has liked Goergen for awhile, so no shock. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
cuts: N Abrams, C Pinkston |
|
|
| Highly doubtful either of
these guys make the roster anywhere. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: J Brooks, B Alexander, D Kenton,
S Redd, T Norman, P Michel, A Burkert, T Lambert, K Brody… |
|
|
| …L Crunchner, K Osbourne, L
Martin |
|
|
| Other teams were watching this
cut list, but I'm not sure anyone gets picked up from it. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: D Caruthers, EVL E3, $450K |
|
|
| Texas gets: D Sin, J Kennedy |
|
|
| Can't say the Conspiracy
aren't working a bit on their retooling here. |
|
|
| Texas cuts
(via amnesty provision): R Odolfo |
|
|
| I think he can find a job
somewhere, but not sure where. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: D Eggart, J Kutchie, L Leuhring,
M Walton, M Schiffman |
|
|
| Probably more guys whose OIFL
careers are over before they began. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: R Williams, J Kristen |
|
|
| Washington gets: $1.5M |
|
|
| Good good trade for both
sides. |
|
|
| May 20, 2013
Update |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: H van Dyke, D Feyers |
|
|
| Newcastle cuts: H Paul, T Robles, R Moran, J Hall, D
Aarant, D Giangrosso, B Zimmers, B Atternay, T Kennedy, A Townes |
|
|
| Tax Day 2013
Update |
|
|
| Though I admit
that 4/15 means very little to me right now. |
|
|
| Portland
cuts: J Monier, L Sanfilippo, D
Morrow, A Free, H Silverthorne, E Castillo, R Sterling |
|
|
| These were sleeper shots that
weren't even camp-worthy. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: B Munson, B Ickert |
|
|
| Probably most all these cuts
are in this category right now. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: Q Vadala, J Hoovler, W Prince |
|
|
| Something smells like camp
fodder to me. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: 2014 E4 |
|
|
| Detroit gets: P Yee |
|
|
| Yee's a long-time Dennis guy,
so I'm not shocked to see him end his career there. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: M Weissman, N Bonn, B Dulog |
|
|
| Well, that'll help me a
little. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: M Farris |
|
|
| Washington gets: P Woodward |
|
|
| Probably not as young as
Washington would like, it's still a sensible move on their part. |
|
|
| April 10, 2013
Update |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: C Lattimore |
|
|
| Detroit gets: D Fry, $400K, 2014 E4 |
|
|
| Still seems strange to me to
see Dennis trading for money. |
|
|
| North Dakota
gets: $100K |
|
|
| Texas gets: E6-8 |
|
|
| While ND probably should be
trying to fish for sleepers, Texas won't argue. |
|
|
| April 6, 2013
Update |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: D Fitzgerald |
|
|
| They're giving Fitzgerald a
shot to get on a roster somewhere else, because they've decided he won't make
it in Detroit. |
|
|
| April 3, 2013
Update |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: E6-2, E6-15, E6-22 |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: B Rozier, M Lawrence, BOS E2 if any of
those E6's are sleepers. |
|
|
| Someone's worried about his
depth. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: E5-12 |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: $300K ($1M if that's a sleeper) |
|
|
| And someone else is worried
about depth, too. |
|
|
| March 24, 2013
Update |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: B Dunlap |
|
|
| Washington gets: $300K |
|
|
| I suspect he paid $300K for
camp help here. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: 2014 E4, $1.38M, E5-6, J Bernier |
|
|
| Tucson gets: A Bowman |
|
|
| Bowman's always been a bit of
an underachiever, but they made the dollars work. |
|
|
| March 20, 2013
Update |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: $300K |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: J Reed, T Grimm |
|
|
| Still seems strange to see
Dennis trading for cash and not players. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: E3-13 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: $800K, 2014 E3 E4 |
|
|
| I assume Patten's going for a
sleeper shot here? |
|
|
| Boston
gets: T Bedford, $3M if sleeper taken |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: E3-19, E4-11, 2014 E3 |
|
|
| Boston needs a linebacker, but
I don't think anyone had Troy Bedford on their "so which LB does Boston
get" pool. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: E6-5, $200K |
|
|
| Boston gets: S Andrews |
|
|
| Clearly a salary dump for the
Tigers. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: O Rogers, 2014 BOS E2 |
|
|
| London gets: J Giefer, $250K |
|
|
| The Scorpions were clearly
starting to worry about their depth for this year. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: R Quackenbush |
|
|
| Washington gets: L Slagle, 2014 POR E3, $100K |
|
|
| This is what a team has to do
to rebuild a roster. |
|
|
| March 16, 2013
Update |
|
|
| Washington
gets: E5-25, E6-1, E6-30, $600K |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: E4-12, E4-31 |
|
|
| They're all sleeper shots, so
Washington is smart to make this kind of trade. |
|
|
| Vicenza
gets: $1.2M, 2014 E5, 2014 E2 if TUC
hits a sleeper with any pick. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E2-32, E3-24, E3-31, E4-6 |
|
|
| I'm a little surprised Vicenza
is going for more cash, but they must not see anything they like in the
draft. |
|
|
| March 10, 2013
Update |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: E2-30, E3-12 |
|
|
| Washington gets: $950K, E6-12, E6-14 |
|
|
| The Commandos feel strongly
that the draft for them is just sleeper shots, so why not take some cash? |
|
|
| March 8, 2013
Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: E2-24 |
|
|
| Boston gets: M Glazer |
|
|
| Boston can't argue with a
trade like this, I'd say. The Rush
wanted to get a little younger, though Glazer wasn't too old. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: E2-25 |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E2-29, E3-11 |
|
|
| Dennis throwing me for a loop
yet again with this trading up stuff! |
|
|
| Boston
gets: N Capps, M Bullocks |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: $50K |
|
|
| I don't know the last time
I've seen a pure cash dump like this. |
|
|
| March 5, 2013
Update |
|
|
| Texas
gets: 2014 E2 E3 |
|
|
| Evansville gets: E2-10 |
|
|
| OK, I'm a little surprised the
Squirrels were trading up to get a kicker. |
|
|
| North Side
gets: J Jerrett, N Olson, E3-18 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: E2-9 |
|
|
| North Side needs plenty of
talent, so why not? |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: E2-20 |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: E3-4, E5-4, E5-25, E6-1, E6-30 |
|
|
| Corpus of course wins if they
hit a sleeper. |
|
|
| March 2, 2013
Update |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: C Gerhart, E2-7 |
|
|
| Iowa gets: E1-34 |
|
|
| Detroit likes to have as much
quantity of talent as possible, and Gerhart and an early E2 will get that for
them. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
gets: 2014 E1/E2 |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E2-4, E2-25, E5-6 |
|
|
| While I think FW gets fair
value for this, they need talent now, not next year. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: E2-4, $250K |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E2-3 |
|
|
| By what I understand, the
Blitz got the guy they wanted at 3 with E2-4, so why not? |
|
|
| Boston
gets: S Farson |
|
|
| Detroit gets: C Blair |
|
|
| May as well get younger at
kicker, too, 'eh? |
|
|
| Vicenza
gets: T Thigpen |
|
|
| Boston gets: T Points, E2-24 |
|
|
| Boston fans will love this
deal in a couple years. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: E Chappelle, $500K |
|
|
| Boston gets: R McMasters, J Enderle |
|
|
| Usually I don't trade away
cash in fire sales, but come on. |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: A Reight |
|
|
| Boston gets: 2014 E3 E5 |
|
|
| This is the one Scott will be
angry at me about, given I got two trades better than this after I agreed to
it. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: R McDowell |
|
|
| Boston gets: Z Taylor, S Church, J Collins |
|
|
| Quietly Washington is having a
good offseason. |
|
|
| Berlin
gets: K Davis, M Haas |
|
|
| Boston gets: N Whittington, S Ness |
|
|
| I think I've always liked
Whittington more than any team that's ever had him. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: J Bullock |
|
|
| Boston gets: K Anthony, W Soto, $500K, 2014 E2, E2-18,
E2-19 |
|
|
| This deal makes a lot more
sense for Iowa when you keep reading below. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: P Rose |
|
|
| Boston gets: G Greger, 2014 E4, $400K |
|
|
| I don't think Rose is the type
to get Wisconsin into a title contending role, but they need depth badly. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: $500K, D Concepcion, M Horowitz,
J Olson, P Govan |
|
|
| Boston gets: P McGrain, B Jones, S Ross, 2014 E1 E2 E3
E4 E5 |
|
|
| Mostly, this is a cash dump in
the fire sale. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: E2-11 |
|
|
| Berlin gets: K Farmington |
|
|
| This is why the Bullock trade
is OK for Iowa. Farmington wasn't
their problem, but Bullock is better. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: J Avery |
|
|
| Boston gets: $150K |
|
|
| Yes, this was easy to do, too. |
|
|
| Boston
gets: S King, K Lemire, M Thompson, J
Napierala, 2014 TEX E1, E3-19, E4-11, E5-5, E5-22, E6-5 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: J Smith, N Olson, C Soludo, E3-18, E5-4,
2014 TEX E4 |
|
|
| Texas gets: L Peine |
|
|
| I'm pretty sure the Gargoyles
and Bombers were two of the teams in my last three-way-dance. |
|
|
| February 26,
2013 Update |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: D Simpson, D Alexander, E3-27 |
|
|
| Texas gets: J Matthews, R Odolfo, E2-10, E4-11 |
|
|
| Texas wanted to get a little
younger in some spots, and Simpson was superfluous at this point, so sure… |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: J Rothwell, E2-18, E2-19, 2014
E1 |
|
|
| Chicago gets: S McGee |
|
|
| Chicago is very high on Simon McGee. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: E1-28, E3-6, E3-8 |
|
|
| London gets: C Andress |
|
|
| Corpus Christi's a little
overstocked at receiver, so they parlayed Andress into other stuff. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: R Cabell |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: E2-20 |
|
|
| Cabell's a guy Iowa likes, as
we all know the Redemption like their defensive specialists. |
|
|
| February 24,
2013 Update |
|
|
| Fort Worth
gets: J Spellman, S Wells, L Reynolds,
E6-9, $250K |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: E1-20, E1-27 |
|
|
| Can't say LA isn't trying to
shed everything to get younger here. |
|
|
| Chicago
gets: S Fleming |
|
|
| Portland gets: E1-21, E2-26 |
|
|
| Portland has finally become
serious about blowing it up and starting over with youth. |
|
|
| Chicago
gets: $50K |
|
|
| Texas gets: D Caruthers |
|
|
| Well, if Caruthers can crack
the Texas 26, it's a good deal for them. |
|
|
| Norfolk
cuts: J Groves |
|
|
| The Hawks know they have to
start getting younger, and sometimes this is the only way to do it. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: E1-26 |
|
|
| Newcastle gets: M Mahoney, conditional 2014 BER E2 |
|
|
| Newcastle's marked this one as
a guaranteed E2, as it's their goal to not let dad win the division this
year. |
|
|
| February 22,
2013 Update |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: E1-19, G Blatenberger |
|
|
| Berlin gets: E2-11, M Jacobs |
|
|
| Jacobs is a good piece for
Berlin's future, but Iowa's playing for today. |
|
|
| Buffalo
gets: L Quick |
|
|
| San Jose gets: S Hunter-Little, G Wilson |
|
|
| Can't say I'm surprised
Buffalo worked to get one of their old Houston guys back. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: E4-5, S Kramer |
|
|
| DC gets: E3-4, J Napierala, D Sin |
|
|
| I'm surprised Detroit went
this route; usually they amass talent, not consolidate it. |
|
|
| Norfolk
gets: E1-15, J Olson, M Horowitz |
|
|
| London gets: W Pratch, T Rogers, 2014 E1 E2 E3 |
|
|
| Sometimes draft time produces
interesting trades. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: E1-16 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: 2014 draft, E4-28, T Jones, J Colombo |
|
|
| Bill. Stop trading for future draft picks. You don't need to get younger. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: E1-25 |
|
|
| Vicenza gets: N Leslie |
|
|
| Tucson's getting somewhat
serious about this cost reduction thing. |
|
|
| February 20,
2013 Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: C Bryant |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: E1-29 |
|
|
| Bryant has a little left in
the tank, so I'm a little surprised the Marauders are dealing him. It's telling that he's going to the |
|
|
| other conference, to me. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: E1-11, 2014 E2 |
|
|
| Berlin gets: C Reid |
|
|
| Let's be honest. Did you expect him to use the pick on a
rookie? |
|
|
| Portland
gets: C Copeland |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E2-1, 2014 E2, E3 |
|
|
| Copeland's the best player in
this deal, but Portland might have overpaid to get him. |
|
|
| February 16,
2013 Update |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: A Mizerak |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: $25K |
|
|
| A great trade for D.C.,
Mizerak still has a year left. Though,
everyone that seems to sign Mizerak wants to get rid of him. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: C Ahlers |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: E3-13 |
|
|
| This makes sense both ways. |

2013 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: T Jacobs, W Hyatt |
|
|
| I'm a little surprised on
Jacobs, but KC's always fluid in their backup corps. |
|
|
| Newcastle
gets: M Coolidge, M Saunders, J
Johnson, J Johnson, T Mana Loa |
|
|
| Portland gets: E2-33, E3-20 |
|
|
| Portland has decided to blow
up just about everything not named Morrow or Lawrence. |
|
|
| Berlin
gets: T Cadet |
|
|
| Chicago gets: E2-18 |
|
|
| Cadet solves Berlin's problem
of a suitable backup for Rayburn…that they play the same style helps. |
|
|
| January 29,
2013 Update |
|
|
| Berlin
gets: O Merson |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: E1-32 |
|
|
| Come on Colin, trading with
Los Angeles now? |
|
|
| January 21,
2013 Update |
|
|
| Newcastle
gets: A Self, T Rush, E4-18, E5-17 |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: D1-38, D1-41 |
|
|
| Newcastle wanted to get some
sleeper shots in addition to what they have, so here they are. |
|
|
| London
gets: D1-37 |
|
|
| San Jose gets: E3-23 |
|
|
| Wait, didn't London trade
their earlier D1's because of a philosophical issue with the dispersal? |
|
|
| January 19,
2013 Update |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: D1-29 |
|
|
| Evansville gets: C Riffert, E3-33 |
|
|
| I think Riffert might be the
best player of that pile…rarely am I confused to why Tucson made a move,
beyond |
|
|
| young DS not being a major
need for the Scorpions. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: $20K |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: M Stubbs, T Richmond |
|
|
| Tampa saved any risk of losing
the veteran presence for a tidy low price, but did Tucson win the trade
anyways? |
|
|
| San Jose
gets: E5-20, E5-23, E6-29 |
|
|
| Texas gets: D1-34 |
|
|
| Now, yes, Drew Eldridge (I'm
taking a guess here) is better than the "likely" result of two E5s
and an E6, but San Jose is taking |
|
|
| three shots at a sleeper at
the cost of a guy who has no shot of helping them when they develop a
playoff-type roster. |
|
|
| January 16,
2013 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D1-26, W Hyatt |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: R Zorn |
|
|
| North Dakota is the risk
capital of the OIFL, so are you surprised they did this? No?
Neither am I. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: E2-20 |
|
|
| Berlin gets: D1-28 |
|
|
| Iowa must have some salary
concerns. |
|
|
| Norfolk
gets: K Davis, M Haas |
|
|
| Texas gets: D Alexander, J Peacock |
|
|
| Texas wanted Alexander, so
they made an offer Norfolk couldn't refuse. |
|
|
| January 14,
2013 Update |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: D1-10, D1-22, E2-2 |
|
|
| London gets: E1-15, S McGinty, E4-32 |
|
|
| It's not a trade I'd have
made, but London wants another stud rookie type. Smith would've been nice for them. |
|
|
| Buffalo
gets: D Raber, D1-11 |
|
|
| Washington gets: E1-6, P Sokol |
|
|
| Washington is trying to get
young star power, and getting the E1-6 is a good way to get that. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D1-24, K St. Pierre, O Bartek |
|
|
| D.C. gets: D1-12, S King |
|
|
| D.C. recognizes the need to
probably retool things a little bit; the Tigers are always retooling spots
12-26 on the roster. |
|
|
| January 12,
2013 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D1-12 |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: D1-18, D1-26, E6-8, E6-18 |
|
|
| A good trade for North Dakota
in that they get two useful players and two shots at a sleeper. Why not? |
|
|
| January 11,
2013 Update |
|
|
| Berlin
cuts: R Ritter, T Maddox, L Reynolds,

2013 Update |
|

was made, but both teams have their reasons. |
|
|
| December 24,
2012 Update |
|
|
| Portland
gets: E1-3, E2-23, E2-27 |
|
|
| Vicenza gets: D1-2 |
|
|
| I think this is a show that
one team is moving to finally rebuild, while the other thinks they have a
shot at a division title (despite |
|
|
| having the E1-3). Both may well be right. Pioneers fans should be ecstatic about this
move. |

|
|
| I'm a little surprised that
London traded back here, and gave up cash to do it. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: E1-33 |
|
|
| London gets: future considerations |
|
|
| Detroit banking that this is a
strong enough draft to make such a move, and they might be right. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: D1-8 |

OIFL-wise that it was, indeed, about the money. |

gets: G Madison, E4-30, $300K |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: P Ellis |
|
|
| Washington's starting what is
probably a massive long-term rebuild project.
This was a good financial start to such. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D1-26, K Patton |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: R Cabell, D1-20 |
|
|
| Certainly Corpus Christi has
to think they did better here, but KC had too many DS types and got something
else they needed. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: R McMasters, E3-4, E5-15, $200K |
|
|
| London gets: D1-10 |
|
|
| Detroit is trying to finagle
things around, so I think we're yet to see the full extent of their offseason
moves. |
|
|
| Buffalo
declines to resign: A Gardner |
|
|
| Chicago
declines to resign: R Mansaur, Q
Worrell |
|
|
| D.C. declines
to resign: T Dean |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
declines to resign: M Stevenson, T
LiPetri, J Pritchett |
|
|
| Kansas City
declines to resign: D Badnell |
|
|
| New England
declines to resign: A Linton |
|
|
| Portland
declines to resign: M Cain |
|
|
| San Antonio
declines to resign: O Vernon, T Jones |
|
|
| St. Louis
declines to resign: R Johnsen, J
Guzman, R Johns, M Sumner, R Ball |
|
|
| December 11,
2012 Update |
|
|
| Detroit
declines to resign: K Thime, B
Goodalle |
|
|
| I'm a little surprised, but
Detroit was too worried about putting too much money in a kicker. |
|
|
| Berlin
gets: D1-8, E3-8 |
|
|
| Newcastle gets: R Boston, B Schraeder, J Johnson |
|
|
| Could Newcastle have gotten
better? Perhaps, but this dispersal
draft is a complete crapshoot as to any order of players taken. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: E1-8 |
|
|
| Newcastle gets: E1-21/25, E3-19/27/28,
E4-2/4/18/21/23/24/28/29, E5-18/19/26/27/29/31, $250K |
|
|
| Well, this is certainly one
way to start a franchise off.
Newcastle is thinking more than 3-13 here. |
|
|
| Newcastle
gets: S Spoelstra, $200K |
|
|
| Iowa gets: E2-7 |
|
|
| And this is a sign of a team
that is going to go all-out and quickly.
This also answers who Iowa thinks the problem was. |
|
|
| Iowa
gets: E2-10, G Day |
|
|
| Washington gets: M Farris, T Mimms |
|
|
| I'm not sure what this does
for Washington. |
|
|
| Fort Worth
declines to resign: C Quick, R Tyus, D
Morgan |
|
|
| I find it hard to believe
anyone's going to miss these guys. |
|
|
| Berlin
gets: A McDaniel |
|
|
| Norfolk gets: P Rose |
|
|
| Given the Hawks RB situation
is played out at OS, this makes good sense for them. |
|
|
| November 26,
2012 Update |
|
|
| Buffalo
declines to resign: D Killebrew |
|
|
| Norfolk
declines to resign: K Hopkins |
|
|
| Venice
gets: E1 |
|
|
| San Jose gets: E2, M Frager, R Rubinow |
|
|
| And Venice wins the Jeff
Rosenberg award! |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: E2-3, E3-27, E5-26 |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: J Cornell |
|
|
| I know the Rush wanted Cornell
back badly, but I just don't know why the OIFL's youngest team needs more
picks. |
|
|
| Tucson
declines to resign: C Mace |
|
|
| London
gets: W Wichert, R Benefield, R
McMasters, E1-10, $100K, E1-31 |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: J Mouton, D Pollock, E1-6 |
|
|
| An interesting trade. Mouton could have some success in Buffalo
this coming year. |
|
|
| London
gets: future considerations |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: E1-31 |
|
|
| Well, this might finally be
the end of Bill's "let's get 26 rookies on the roster" plan… |
|
|
| November 15,
2012 Update |
|
|
| D.C. declines
to resign M Workman |
|
|
| Vancouver
declines to resign E Cramer |
|
|
| Kansas City
declines offer on D Fitzgerald |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: IOW3, NOR3, IOW4, LA4,
POR4, TEX4, IOW5, LA5, NOR5, TB5, TUC5 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: N Whittington |
|
|
| Because the Blitz need more
youth. |
|
|
| Dallas
declines offer on C Gerhart, K Vogler, G Flynn |
|
|
| Norfolk
gets: J Bullock, T Thigpen |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: E1-4, E2-4, J Gunn |
|
|
| The Rush are masterful at
getting rid of guys and their salaries before they become a problem. |
|
|
| Post-OIFLCup
Update |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: L Reynolds, G McConnell, E3, E4,
E5 |
|
|
| Iowa gets: S Weeks |
|
|
| Clearly some in Cedar Rapids
lay the blame for a playoff loss on Sean Spoelstra. |
|
|
| Long Island
declines resign option on: F Delighten |
|
|
| I'm a little surprised; I'd
have waited at least until aging hit on that. |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
gets: E1-3, E1-22, $100K |
|
|
| London gets: T Coutch, E1-6 |
|
|
| The Roughriders want to keep
getting good draft picks here; this is a good draft pick. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: J Seton, N Bianco |
|
|
| London gets: C Rhodes, E3-4, E4-18 |
|
|
| An interesting trade. Surprised Detroit is the one dealing picks
here. |
|
|
| Week 19 Update |
|
|
| Tucson signs
(two week contracts): |
|
|
| T North, K Smith |
|
|
| They like having 26 on the
roster, and they have two holes. |
|
|
| Week 16 Update |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: J Johnson |
|
|
| At this time there is no line
for "Fort Dodge signs: J
Johnson." |
|
|
| Week 15 Update |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
signs: L McKay, J King |
|
|
| This is the second straight
Rattler OS sent off that the Riders picked up (Corey Fleming) |
|
|
| New England
cuts: S Farson |
|
|
| Well, that was obvious. |
|
|
| Week 13 Update |
|
|
| Texas signs
(two week contract): R Williams |
|
|
| Williams has had a long and
pretty good career. |
|
|
| Long Island
cuts: T Beistel |
|
|
| 26 men is 26 men, Beistel
could find a job elsewhere. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: R Tyus, J Schmotzer; signs T
Jacobs |
|
|
| Jacobs knows the system there,
it's a good fit. |
|
|
| London
cuts: R Greene |
|
|
| Greene got caught up in a
numbers game. |
|
|
| Week 12 Update |
|
|
| Eugene signs
(4 week contract): J Elam |
|
|
| Well, they needed a kicker
with Cottle out. Elam's one of the
best historically, so he'll help awhile.
He's done this before in 2011, too. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: S Nelson, LA E1, DET E5 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: S Kramer |
|
|
| It's a hefty price, but the
Conspiracy think they have something special, so they'll pay it. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: M Otis, C Bruce, K Vidoteca, C
Wier |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: CC E2, D Madray, G Tiebach, A Geddinger, C
Goergen |
|
|
| I guess I just don't
understand the angle here. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: E Chappelle |
|
|
| Eugene gets: $1M, CC E2 |
|
|
| Chappelle's overpriced, but KC
has the ability to do that for now. |
|
|
| Week 11 Update |
|
|
| This is the next to last week
you can make trades! |
|
|
| Atlanta
gets: J Kershner, J Gunn |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: G Krass, A Weissman |
|
|
| Gunn never got to the #2 job
in Nanaimo, so he needed to go.
Atlanta got rid of Krass, too. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: TB E1, I Gillian, A Fernandez |
|
|
| Long Island gets: TB E4, R Logiovino, J Bradley, T Beistel |
|
|
| A little surprised the 7-3
team is the one building for tomorrow in this deal. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: J Mouton, W Berry, CC E2 |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: K Patton |
|
|
| Norfolk gets: P Govan |
|
|
| It might be too little too
late for a cup run, but Patton IS the true #1 WR the Storm need. |
|
|
| Norfolk
gets: C Soludo, B James, EUG E2 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: N Whittington, J Peacock |
|
|
| Really, dumping Whittington in
that Hutch trade was what started LA down this "we must win now"
path…and when they didn't, it spiraled. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: G Rodriquez |
|
|
| Rodriquez is useless at this
level anymore. |
|
|
| North Dakota
cuts: R Iseman, D Jacques |
|
|
| North Dakota signs: P Hines, D Butel |
|
|
| Not sure doing this earlier
would've saved the season, but it'd have helped. |
|
|
| Week 10 Update |
|
|
| Eugene
gets: M Saunders |
|
|
| Portland gets: L Ariaco, NOR E2 |
|
|
| Saunders is going to help a
lot with Smith out. |
|
|
| Long Island
cuts: B Dockery |
|
|
| He's one of those "wait,
he's still working?!" guys. Well,
he was. |
|
|
| Atlanta
signs: M Giguere |
|
|
| Atlanta cuts: J Jackson |
|
|
| It's all backup fodder here,
but any little upgrade is an upgrade Atlanta needs. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: J Shidecker |
|
|
| Portland gets: DET E1, VAN E2 |
|
|
| Pioneers continuing the
rebuild, while Detroit gets back an old friend from the Vegas days. |
|
|
| Eugene
gets: M White, A James, W Soto |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: D Hensel, N Nash, D Madray, C Mays, WIS E1,
EUG E1, EUG E2, NOR E4, EUG E5 |
|
|
| I'm just not sure on this deal
for the Predators. Just not feeling
it. If they traded old pieces, that's one thing - but you just gave Eugene two stars
for older guys… |
|
|
| Colin doesn't even like draft picks! Eugene is now loaded, though. They get hurt with the loss of picks, but
Christian has just created an OIFLCup Contender. |
|
|
| Week 9 Update |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: L McKay, T Rallings |
|
|
| McKay's had a strong career,
stronger than it should have been…he's probably done, though. |
|
|
| London
cuts: J King |
|
|
| King's a guy who's had a LONG
career…is it over? |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: D Caruther, O Vernon, V Ollie, T
Jones, FD E2, LA E2, CHI E4, FD E4 |
|
|
| Fort Dodge gets: T Hickey, P Street |
|
|
| Blockbuster. Roughriders are playing for keeps now. After cutting back financially, they have a
better team, and now they're
playing for more than a playoff berth. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: DET E3, DET E5 |
|
|
| Detroit gets: J Asebodo |
|
|
| Asebodo will help them quite a
bit. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D Martin |
|
|
| Portland gets: $120K |
|
|
| Pioneers needed to get rid of
someone, and Kansas City is trying to stockpile talent. |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: R Shore |
|
|
| Shore had no place anymore
with other moves made. |
|
|
| Portland
gets: $50K |
|
|
| Venice gets: L O'Neil |
|
|
| O'Neil is no star, but he's an
experienced guy who can still step in if needed. |
|
|
| Atlanta
cuts; B Schaub |
|
|
| Schaub's been up and down with
the Lunatics a few times now. |
|
|
| OIFL All-Star
Classic Week Update |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: K Pung, TEX E4 |
|
|
| London gets: SA E2 |
|
|
| Pung's getting a little long
in the tooth, but he's going to help the Rattlers. They don't care about draft rounds after E1
anyways (yes, they got Shelton Warren, but were never all |
|
|
| that happy with his
performance, so sleepers mean little to Dylan). |
|
|
| Chicago
signs: M Thompson |
|
|
| He's got a lot of work to do
to be a good OIFL player, but he has talent, and Chicago needs that. |
|
|
| London
gets: N Bianco |
|
|
| Chicago gets: LON E3, $300K |
|
|
| Bianco doesn't exactly replace
Pung, but it's good to get another given London only has 4 OLDL before this
trade. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: T Doxen, M MacDonald, R Warrick,
A Burkett |
|
|
| Long Island gets: J Baez, A Reyeb, C Peach, J Sheets, J Elam
(subsequently cut) |
|
|
| I'm trying to wrap my head
around where this actually helps Texas.
I'm just not seeing it.
MacDonald is not an upgrade.
Burkett surely is not an upgrade.
And Doxen doesn't help |
|
|
| them, either. Long Island took a huge step in their
rebuild here. TEX absolutely has to
see Doxen find the fountain of youth for this to work. |
|
|
| London
gets: J Seton, TB E2, D d'Andrea |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: C Bruce, A Sandler, $200K |
|
|
| Bruce is the long-term piece,
and Sandler's a guy who can play for the Tigers right now. They're 0-8, but they are still alive for
the OIT. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: TUC E4 |
|
|
| London gets: T Olivares |
|
|
| And this makes up for LON for
the Pung trade…but if you're just going to deal for Olivares, why give Pung
away for a mid pick? |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: EUG E4, E5, A Bellamy |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: LON E2, DC E3, J Baez |
|
|
| The Rattlers said this past
offseason after they had to gut everything "sure, laugh at us now, but
we're going to win again." Losing
Bellamy will hurt, but the Rattlers are built on the line. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: D Sin, J Blackburn, STL E5 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: M Mauller, D Wingate |
|
|
| Wingate's a better player than
Blackburn (but not by a whole lot).
Sin's better than Mauller probably now and tomorrow, but KC doesn't
figure they'll win with average players. |
|
|
| Week 8 Update |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: J Salas, E3, E5 |
|
|
| Norfolk gets: W Pratch, J Mouton |
|
|
| Norfolk's quietly getting to
be a pretty good team here, but I don't see where this deal helps them. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: B Speedfreak, W Zjoe |
|
|
| Goodness, Bob Speedfreak found
a job. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: B Schmidt, WIS E5 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: T Babthorpe, WIS E3 |
|
|
| Schmidt is the better player,
so LA gets this one. |
|
|
| Atlanta
gets: F Lakha |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: ATL E4, DET E4, F Delighten |
|
|
| Delighten's just a bridge to
the pile of E1s the Blitz have. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
signs: M Fischer |
|
|
| He's not a long-term solution
at all. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: H Blessig, S Weisgarber |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: FM E1, VEN E1, D Ladd, C Stanley |
|
|
| Painful, yes, but those two
probably weren't resigning in San Antonio anyways, and the Rattlers are
getting a lot of good picks. |
|
|
| London
gets: MON E2, B Rodgers, J King |
|
|
| Long Island gets: D MacClellan, TB E1, VEN E5, $560K |
|
|
| MacClellan is a guy who can
really be a veteran, calming, influence on Gary Blackwell, who has gotten
frazzled before. London will really
like Rodgers. |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
cuts: E Smith |
|
|
| This is the end of the road
for Ed Smith. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: M Ruddick |
|
|
| Long Island gets: LON E2, E3 |
|
|
| Ruddick's getting older, but
he's going to help LA a lot. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: J Zie |
|
|
| Zie was their "kicker of
the future," and then they realized they don't need a "kicker of the future." |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: L Bullocks |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: R Jenkins, G Flynn |
|
|
| Balto's always had a knack for
having a weird mix of players and doing well, but this is a little strange. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: J Conner |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: D Marquardt, three E4s, two E3s |
|
|
| The Blitz are positioning for
the four E1s they'll have next year.
Losing Conner still hurts. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: J Haller, R Niemeyer |
|
|
| Kansas City cuts: T Jacobs, F Scallia |
|
|
| Look for more of this out of
the Tigers in the coming weeks. |
|
|
| Long Island
signs: B Dockery (2 week contract) |
|
|
| Mean Machine trying to see if
Dockery has anything left in the tank. |
|
|
| Norfolk
cuts: T Cormier |
|
|
| Cormier may find work, but
he's probably done. |
|
|
| Chicago
cuts: J Napierala |
|
|
| He's had a better career than
he probably should, but this is about the end here. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: A Satterfield |
|
|
| Same as above, I'd say. |
|
|
| Long Island
signs: J Zie |
|
|
| Long Island cuts: L Moore |
|
|
| This isn't soccer. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: R Tyus, S Masterson |
|
|
| These guys might be something
they can build on long-term |
|
|
| Week 7 Update |
|
|
| London
gets: T Mack, DC E4 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: B Chopko, LA E1, VEN E2, S Nelson |
|
|
| Well, last week's trade was
useless then… |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
gets: D Schlosser |
|
|
| Long Island gets: $150K |
|
|
| Probably feels nice for the
Riders to be able to pay for a player again. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: TB E2, VI E3, F Scallia, T
Jacobs |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: F Lakha, J Kershner |
|
|
| The Tigers have some major
major holes to fill, and this is just a start to that. |
|
|
| Long Island
signs: L Moore, J King |
|
|
| Long Island cuts: R Niemeyer |
|
|
| Hey, Juan King got a job! |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: N Olson |
|
|
| He's going to build into
something someday. |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: P Woods |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: E3,4,5 |
|
|
| Woods has something left in
the tank, while that's three sleeper shots for KC, the Rush did fine. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: POR E1, K Vogler, R Cabell |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: D Eisenhart, L James |
|
|
| All things considered, the
Mean Machine here got all they were going to get out of Eisenhart. Minneapolis gets its favorite son back. |
|
|
| Venice
gets: L Martin |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $150K |
|
|
| Martin has a bit in the tank,
while KC certainly won't be competitive while Martin is still useful. |
|
|
| Atlanta
signs: B Schaub |
|
|
| Atlanta cuts: M Cain |
|
|
| Schaub has some experience in
the ATL system, so it works. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: J Barclay |
|
|
| Evansville cuts: S Masterson |
|
|
| You might see these two get
play somewhere. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: DC E3, KC E5, $360K, T Doxen |
|
|
| D.C. gets: J Enderle |
|
|
| Getting rid of Enderle is
always nice, but Doxen would be better suited on a contender. |
|
|
| Week 6 Update |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: H Simpson |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: B Schmidt, D Stephens, KC E4, $150K |
|
|
| Blitz negotiating from a
backup position of strength, didn't do bad here. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: EVL E3, WIS E5, $100K |
|
|
| Evansville gets: S Fox |
|
|
| This deal kind of parlays down
the road, but it's with cash, and as such the Blitz could have done better
for Fox. |
|
|
| London
signs: A LaPetri |
|
|
| Yeah, a fourth quarterback
makes sense here. |
|
|
| D.C. signs: W
Mickey |
|
|
| six-week deal, Mickey gets a
shot to keep in the league. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
signs: O Patterson |
|
|
| Patterson isn't going to do
much, but he won't have to. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: M Edminster |
|
|
| Edminster's got something in
the tank. Geno will get everything he
can out of him. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: DC E2, $250K |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: M Haas |
|
|
| Great deal for the Blitz here,
Haas will help them a bunch down the road. |
|
|
| Norfolk
gets: A McDaniel, N Castiello |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: L Roberts, S Ness |
|
|
| McDaniel's expensive, but
money isn't a problem for Norfolk. It
works. |
|
|
| London
gets: B Chopko, M Taylor, LA E1 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: D Calderon, R Bush |
|
|
| Well, Chopko won't stay long. |
|
|
| London
signs: R Greene |
|
|
| Greene's had a longer career
than someone of his talent level might otherwise have, and here he goes
again. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: J Barclay, ND E5 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: A Fernandez |
|
|
| I know the Blitz wanted out
from under Fernandez. I don't think
that contract would've killed them, though. |
|
|
| Week 5 Update |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: J Tobin, EVL E1 |
|
|
| Evansville gets: P Rogers, NOR E1 |
|
|
| Tobin's a guy who has never
performed to the level the Squirrels demand their players perform. A change in scenery is probably welcome on
both sides. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: C Goergen, LON E2 |
|
|
| London gets: D Calderon |
|
|
| Calderon fits their backup RB
role just fine, but this is a gross overpay for his services. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: G Tiebach, G Rauls, 200K, WIS E3
(then cuts D White) |
|
|
| Wisconsin gets: L Williams |
|
|
| Tobin clearly replaces
Williams; the Warlords make a big statement with one little move. A couple more and everyone has to worry. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
signs: T Grayson |
|
|
| Week 4 Update |
|
|
| Long Island
signs: J Barclay, R Niemeyer |
|
|
| Long Island cuts: C Kilano |
|
|
| The Mean Machine can't really
afford injuries, but this is what they're gonna have to live with as they get
'em. |
|
|
| Atlanta
signs: M Cain |
|
|
| Cain's been with the ATL
already this year, so he knows what's going on there. |
|
|
| Texas
signs: J Elam |
|
|
| Elam's a long-time kicker, so
it's not like there's a learning curve.
Texas kinda needs one, too. |
|
|
| New England
signs: S Farson (3-week deal) |
|
|
| You can always ask players to
waive the cut penalty. |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: R Shore |
|
|
| Shore's got a fair amount of
OIFL experience. |
|
|
| Chicago
gets: B Rivera, O Linton, $300K |
|
|
| London gets: P Rose, E3 |
|
|
| London wanted to get rid of
Linton as he's not a great RB (more of a DS-type with offensive work to be
done). They needed a LB. While losing Rivera hurts long-term |
|
|
| development, this deal did what the
Monarchs needed it to do. |
|
|
| Week 3 Update |
|
|
| So I forgot
about the TV and radio money. So it's
there now. |
|
|
| Long Island
signs: Geoff |
|
|
| Not sure how he helps a team
win in 2011, but I don't ask questions anymore. |
|
|
| Venice
signs: M Thomas |
|
|
| Venice cuts: W Mickey |
|
|
| OK, so Thomas doesn't bring
much to the table anymore. At least
he's not a backup kicker. |
|
|
| Week 2 Update |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: B Rozier |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: T Adgate |
|
|
| Rozier has a better future
than Adgate, but a team needing a 7th lineman with experience will probably
look at TA. |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
cuts: K Morriss |
|
|
| Fort Dodge signs: T Bayfield |
|
|
| Also an example; the amnesty
cut is still available. |
|
|
| Venice
signs: R Herrera |
|
|
| May as well bump it up to 26
on the roster. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: J Seton |
|
|
| Lysoby does what he does. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
signs: M Cranston, F McNeil |
|
|
| Both of these guys give
valuable depth and experience. Now the
Storm won't totally freak if McPherson goes down. |
|
|
| OIFL Season
Opening Update |
|
|
| North Dakota
cuts: B Bolgrien, C Morton, J Lucas, S
Watt, V LaGrange, U Thomas, B Yanagi |
|
|
| This team isn't looking that
strong; I think I'd have dumped some older salary over the rookies here. Some of these guys will get jobs. |
|
|
| Eugene
gets: $1M at end of year, $25K
immediately |
|
|
| Portland gets: N Chiricosta, E Cohen, J Tate |
|
|
| Strange trade for Portland; I
guess they need depth, but I wouldn't think this pile is worth a million. |
|
|
| Norfolk
cuts: H Keester |
|
|
| Keester has a really tiny
outside shot at finding a job…and even then, I'm not sure the league's stance
on players picking up trash. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: A Ogden, M Golsen, Geoff, L
Paulson, C Dionisio, P Marntos, D Love |
|
|
| The Fatmen were worried about
their cuts. I don't know why. These guys wouldn't start for the 2006
Caps. |
|
|
| Atlanta
cuts: M Thomas |
|
|
| Sorry Matt. |
|
|
| Venice
cuts: J Blackburn |
|
|
| Blackburn is probably at the
end of his personal OIFL journey, too. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: M Trask; cuts: T Dempsey |
|
|
| They have always needed depth
help; this should do a little. |
|
|
| Atlanta
gets: J Carper, S Peyton, ND E2, DET
E4, $250K |
|
|
| Detroit gets: R Auger, T Gialluca, M Betts, ATL E5 |
|
|
| Carper's very possible to
start in the ATL, while Detroit wonders if Auger (pronounced ojay) could be
their next QB since Druck. |
|
|
| Montreal
cuts: B Reeves, T Clark, J Lyons, K
Powers, K Anthony, T Grayson, J Emrick |
|
|
| Congrats, you all have just
been cut by Mike Burmeister. No,
friends, that little flashy thing from MIB is not real. |
|
|
| Omaha
cuts: M Fisher, P Rawlins |
|
|
| Yeah, maybe Rawlins? |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: M Singh |
|
|
| Sometimes the 26-man is rough. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
cuts: B Speedfreak, J Brooks, S Farson |
|
|
| Speedfreak's a very fringe HOF
candidate, but he may find another job. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: D Alexander, B Rodgers, BAL E1 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: M Bell, C Rhea |
|
|
| Baltimore's quietly building a
pretty solid team here. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: H Reiss, L Quick |
|
|
| Long Island gets: LI E1, LI E2, B Christoff, A Burkett |
|
|
| The Mean Machine are (smartly)
setting themselves up for the future by getting rid of the exceptional salary
they have. |
|
|
| Portland
signs: M Singh, J Lucas, B Yanagi |
|
|
| Portland cuts: M Ahmed, B Dockery, E Cohen, R Tyus, L
Moore |
|
|
| A couple of these guys could
make rosters elsewhere. |
|
|
| Chicago
cuts: B Warhurst, N Olson, E Perlo, T
Revedo, J Seton, R Herrera, J Johnson, J Cain, C Eastmond |
|
|
| It would take a significant
confluence of events for any of these guys to find work. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: K Hopkins, DET E5 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: C Stanley, $100K if that E5's a sleeper |
|
|
| Hopkins just feels like a
Dennis Marr type of player. |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: M Betts, B Schaub, K Wolfram, A
Davis, C Wente, R Cabreda, J Alexander |
|
|
| The end of the line for one of
the OIFL's all-time greats, John Alexander (while very quiet) is a clear hall
of fame player. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: J Blackburn, P Rawlins, C
Dionisio |
|
|
| Kansas City cuts: M Jacobs, T Bayfield, J Young, D Tompsett,
B Fuchs, D Coleman, L Teabing |
|
|
| I'm sure by year's end Lysoby
will have built this into a playoff team again. Hopefully he doesn't mortgage the future
this time to do it. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: P Ranke |
|
|
| While the Squirrels highly
value veteran presence, Ranke can't help anymore. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: M Cranston, I Fraught, A Gaydos,
P Parker, B Rozier |
|
|
| Oh no, they lost Spiderman! |
|
|
| Washington
cuts: I Varner, W Yetzer, I Haze, F
McNeil |
|
|
| There's some names in terms of
guys who have played before, anyways. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: I Gillian, ND E1, E3, E4, D
Pollock |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: FM D5, J Kennedy, B Christoff |
|
|
| There's something to be said
about being reckless, and North Dakota fans are going to enjoy one hell of a
receiving corps. |
|
|
| Minneapolis
cuts: K Smith |
|
|
| Congratulations, you've been
cut by the Minneapolis Mustangs! |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: P Wells, T Schofield, J Dempsey,
A McFarland, F Holderbaum, J Scringeworth |
|
|
| Yeah, Wells had to go. |
|
|
| New England
cuts: O Patterson |
|
|
| God this roster update's
getting long. |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: S Whitehead, B Beaver, A Granger |
|
|
| Granger's had some decent
times; good problem to have. |
|
|
| London
cuts: T Scheer |
|
|
| Scheer had to go. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
cuts: M Giguere |
|
|
| He's not going to help out
here. |
|
|
| Norfolk
gets: C Harbaugh, $500K @ YE 2011 |
|
|
| Venice gets: $2,000 |
|
|
| That's one way to save salary. |
|
|
| Norfolk
cuts: J Wensely |
|
|
| And I thought Wensely had a
shot to survive. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: K Kimes, P Bryson, J Burnett, M
Edminster, J Barclay, J Haller |
|
|
| Harvey's always been a guy to
just keep his players because they're his players; this is a good sign. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: VEN E1, ND E5, D Ellis |
|
|
| London gets: R Quackenbush, ND E4 |
|
|
| Quackenbush is a guy Steve has
coveted for awhile, so I'm not surprised here. |
|
|
| Preseason Week
2 Update |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: T Ando, M Trask |
|
|
| Trask *might* have a shot
somewhere, while Ando's career is likely at its end. |
|
|
| Long Island
signs: C Kilano |
|
|
| Long Island cuts: R Harpeteker |
|
|
| Hey, Kilano makes a good
living by holding a clipboard! |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: FM E1, E5, DET E5, $500K, P
Goodwin, D Ladd, L Quick, $500K if Street plays in a conference final. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: K Street, M Hoper, A Ogden, P Marntos |
|
|
| Great. Boom goes the dynamite. |
|
|
| Now, Long Island had to make
this move. With the $$$ purge that's
hit them, they have to shed a lot of salary, and they're still going to be a
decent team; just no contender in 2011. |
|
|
| Preseason Week
1 Update |
|
|
| Time to change
the formatting of the dates here! |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: future considerations ($35K
between now and Week 8) |
|
|
| Atlanta gets: T Bray |
|
|
| Bray's not going to do a whole
lot for the ATL, but $35K is pretty cheap. |
|
|
| Atlanta
cuts: C Logan, A Richetti, M Hintze, D
Carr, C Andress |
|
|
| I'm not a big fan of cutting
the little veteran presence you have, even though Logan and Carr are clearly
past their primes. |
|
|
| May 10, 2011
Update |
|
|
| Venice
gets: N Basten |
|
|
| Washington gets: $200K |
|
|
| The Commandos can always use a
little cash as the team isn't quite at a title contention just yet. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: J Ruffin |
|
|
| Washington gtes: R Willians, EUG E3 |
|
|
| Considering LA needed a RB/LB
and Washington needed a receiver to play LB (given Hice and Coulier are
better DBs), this was a good two-way move. |
|
|
| Venice
cuts: G Elmore, T Law, M Costanzo, L
Higgins |
|
|
| I can see some of these guys
getting a shot…maybe. |
|
|
| Atlanta
signs: D DeLap |
|
|
| Yeah, this was a good pickup
for a talent-starved Lunatics squad. |
|
|
| Omaha
cuts: R Niemeyer, J Morris |
|
|
| Niemeyer has a shot to catch
on somewhere, maybe. |
|
|
| April 20, 2011
Update |
|
|
| Venice
signs: M Costanzo |
|
|
| Washington
cuts: W Thurston, D Warner, D
Williamson, S McNeil |
|
|
| Some of these guys have a shot
at getting another job. |
|
|
| Norfolk
gets: D Feist |
|
|
| Eugene gets: E2, E4, $450K |
|
|
| Feist has been known as a
career underachiever, but he has shutdown stuff, and the Hawks can really use
that. |
|
|
| April 12, 2011
Update |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: T Doxen |
|
|
| Detroit gets: C Stanley |
|
|
| I'm surprised Dennis would
make such a move (though they *do* need to get younger). D.C. is clearly trying to play for today. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: S Morrow, G Tucker, R Shore, R
Ashworth |
|
|
| This is the best cut list
we've had, but there's still no guarantee any of them find work. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
signs: J Barclay |
|
|
| This claim came in within six
hours of the posting that he'd been cut.
As I had expected. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: E Brooks |
|
|
| Brooks just wasn't good
enough. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: T Richmond |
|
|
| Tucson gets: $500K |
|
|
| Richmond still has a little in
the tank, but Washington better not expect him to be a veteran influence to
help the young guys. |
|
|
| London
gets: A Rodgers, OMA E4 |
|
|
| Omaha gets: WIS E2, H Koga |
|
|
| OK…how does this deal make
sense for either team? A top-5 draft
pick being dumped for an E2 and another E2?
And then London…YOU DON'T NEED A YOUNG QUARTERBACK! |
|
|
| D.C.
signs: B Beaver, T Adgate |
|
|
| Adgate has very little in the
tank, but he's going to help them deep on the bench. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: C Gerhart |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: E2, E3 |
|
|
| Gerhart wasn't in Minny's
long-term plans, so get something that could be! |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: R Greene, F Purk, A Gillatt, H
Tucker |
|
|
| Greene's a long time Breaker,
but it was time to go. Purk I'm not so
sure I agree with. |
|
|
| April 7, 2011
Update |
|
|
| Long Island
cuts: K Sick, J Barclay, A LaPetri, A
Shipman, R Moesly |
|
|
| Moesly has the
"distinction" of twice being an amnesty cut…LaPetri is the first 20
to subsequently get cut, too. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: M Cribbs, C Rieves |
|
|
| Chicago gets: J Cornell, K Cruise, J Rothwell, R
McMasters, $100K |
|
|
| Cribbs is now a premier #1
target again for sure as DC has no other OS at his level…and he has Dan
Jackson throwing to him! |
|
|
| London
gets: A Sandler |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: D d'Andrea |
|
|
| Now, while the Tigers don't
save a whole lot of cash, they do get younger. London gets a guy that, while he's on the
back nine, he can still bring it at a position of need. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: W Mitchell |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: A Calp, R Dawson, FD E1 |
|
|
| Now, yes, Mitchell was TB's
best lineman, but they have other really good linemen, they now have more
depth, and the FD E1 could be worth something, too. |
|
|
| April 5, 2011
Update |
|
|
| Long Island
cuts: J Miggs, C Anthony |
|
|
| Miggs has been in the OIFL
forever, but you have to think it's over. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: T Bray |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $35K |
|
|
| Long Island shouldn't really
be adding payroll and paying cash, but if they want to, that's their
prerogative. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: C Brinkerhoff |
|
|
| Doubt the "reigning
punter of the year" gets another job. |
|
|
| Minneapolis
signs: J Wehrle |
|
|
| Really, that's your last big
step towards a title? |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: J Hay |
|
|
| Venice gets: J Blackburn |
|
|
| Hay's old but still good. While I'd have loved to see him finish his
career "home," Tucson's not a bad consolation prize. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: K Nelson, D Hughes, G Spradlin,
S Scruggs, B Mannion, A Carlton, R Stevens, R Bagby |
|
|
| Hughes has played, but I don't
see much here that will be on anyone's 26-man. |
|
|
| Atlanta
cuts: P Sozos |
|
|
| He was an outside shot to make
the team anyways. |
|
|
| Eugene
cuts: R Meunier, J Kramer, J Salko, L
Sweigart, J Emmanuel-Thomas, M Costanzo, I Richman, A Westenberger, J
Wilshire, D McCloud, J Feyers |
|
|
| A couple of these guys could
find jobs, but it'll be tough going. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: R Hutchinson, W Soto, E1, $750K
at Week 8 |
|
|
| Norfolk gets: F Porter, N Whittington |
|
|
| Hutch may fit what LA wants to
do this week, I guess? Whittington is
going to be a stud for the Hawks. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: B Reilly, E4 |
|
|
| New England gets: J Paul |
|
|
| About damn time they
rebuild. You're welcome! |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: L Terry, $400K at Week 8 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: E4, D Marquardt, F Lakha |
|
|
| Terry's a guy that can still
bring it for the Fatmen, while Marquardt will be almost assuredly a starter
in Kansas City right away. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D Sin, $250K |
|
|
| D.C. gets: B Chopko, R Odolfo |
|
|
| Sometimes painful decisions
have to be made in a rebuild. Sin is
going to be good down the line, though. |
|
|
| Training Camp
update |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
cuts: W Zjoe, T North, J Brooks |
|
|
| Both of these cuts were before
camp; they're eligible to be signed. |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
cuts: M Pasqua, N Rivers |
|
|
| Both of these cuts were before
camp; they're eligible to be signed. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: J Czernak, S Tiafau, P Sideris,
A Rahim, M Hartman, D Amodio, N Brandt, J Tucker, D Sheets, A Luk, S Rivera |
|
|
| Hartman's been on rosters
before, but I don't see any signings here. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
cuts: D Stranck, C Hanley, R Holloman,
B Jordan, B Justice, J Tornatore, A Barrio |
|
|
| Yeah, there's nothing here. |
|
|
| London
cuts: B Compton, P Welty, R McFarran,
R Boston, D DeLap, W Worthington, K Lampert, P Marino |
|
|
| DeLap had one real shot this
camp to become a "legit" OIFLer, and he didn't do it. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
cuts: K McGregor, Z Quammen, W Wilson,
S Young, W McElroy, B Etienne |
|
|
| Wow, there are a lot of
kickers that suck here. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: O Hatch, D Zelling |
|
|
| Zelling can find work still. |
|
|
| March 5, 2011
Update |
|
|
| And so the
roster moratorium begins! |
|
|
| Long Island
signs: K Sick, C Anthony, J Miggs, P
Marntos, L James |
|
|
| St. Louis signs: D McFarland, F Holderbaum, T Schofield |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: C Horne, J Wehrle |
|
|
| I'm a little surprised Wehrle
got cut here. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: J Barros, K Bartley, D Madine |
|
|
| Nothing much here. |
|
|
| Norfolk
cuts: B Joerg, R Long, L Belardo |
|
|
| Wheeeee! |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: 2012 STL E3 |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: R Gibson |
|
|
| Very good trade for the Fatmen
to deal a 3 for a guy who could start. |
|
|
| Atlanta
signs: M Betts |
|
|
| Chicago
gets: B Briggs |
|
|
| Fort Dodge gets: 2012 E4 |
|
|
| Roughriders making moves to
shore up the money after making moves to shore up the team…and Chicago needed
a kicker. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: R Odolfo, L Jackson |
|
|
| Fort Dodge gets: R Brownings, TUC E5 |
|
|
| Brownings is a key piece to a
Roughriders team that could be winning now… |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: L Terry, $300K |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: D Calderon |
|
|
| Yeah, so LA doesn't really
need Terry, and Calderon fills a need for a lot less cash. OK. |
|
|
| Montreal
gets: G Norman |
|
|
| Long Island gets: E2, E5 |
|
|
| Norman wasn't staying in LI as
the cash is just too good…now can he bring some magic to a Montreal team
that's gonna need it? |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
cuts: T Combs, T Bond, B Beaver, L
d'Arco |
|
|
| Beaver coulda helped in camp,
but they didn't lose much. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: J Kershner, R Myatt |
|
|
| D.C. gets: $300K, E5 |
|
|
| Did not KC need the cash? |
|
|
| February 27,
2011 Update |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: B Holden, C Borrello, M Phillips |
|
|
| Is this the end of the line
for Manny Phillips? I say "not
yet." But I wouldn't be shocked
if it were. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: J Carper |
|
|
| Washington gets: F McNeil, M Salinas |
|
|
| Carper's a guy the Gladiators
have some knowledge of here. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: E6-25 |
|
|
| Fort Dodge gets: $2K |
|
|
| Atlanta
cuts: C Kilano, G Hoyt |
|
|
| I thought Kilano would stick
around a little longer, as he's had a long career as a backup, but Atlanta
didn't agree. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: D Alexander |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: $100K |
|
|
| Backup OS' aren't worth much
in the OIFL. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: 2012 E5 |
|
|
| Wisconsin gets: R Andrews |
|
|
| Andrews may well be the kicker
when we kick off the 2011 campaign in Wisconsin. Yeah, he's a kicker, but if you get a
starter with an E5, you do it. |
|
|
| London
cuts: T Smith, F Greco, C Bender |
|
|
| Wheeeeeee! |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: $600K |
|
|
| Wisconsin gets: $550K after week 4, T Knight |
|
|
| Older players have about as
much value as backup OS'… |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: J Asebodo, R McMasters |
|
|
| Detroit gets: G Jones |
|
|
| Gladiators are always thinking
defense first - this is nothing new. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: E Cramer |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: M Hodge |
|
|
| Hodge is older, but better. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: J Cornell, 2012 LA E1, $870K |
|
|
| Texas gets: J Spellmen, A Reyeb, A Adama |
|
|
| Conspiracy are wheeling and
dealing - does this make them a contender in the NFC-East? |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: J Cant |
|
|
| It's probably a camp contract,
but Cant wants to see if he has anything left in the tank. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: D Calderon, D Zelling |
|
|
| They're just holding firm
until they can get some younger talent down the line here. Both of these guys have played a lot. |
|
|
| February 23,
2011 Update |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: E6-15 |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: $10K |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: M Betts, T Whitmer, B Daly, D
Baut, H Feldman |
|
|
| They weren't interested in
stringing these guys along. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: $10K |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: E6-20 |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: $100K |
|
|
| London gets: E6-4, E6-11 |
|
|
| London
gets: $10K |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: E6-24 |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: $15K |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: E6-27, E6-30 |
|
|
| Really, the Storm do need
depth - but I'd want depth that can play! |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: $80K |
|
|
| London gets: E6-6, E6-13 |
|
|
| Apparently seeing what CC paid
isn't registering. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: D Centerfield |
|
|
| D.C. gets: J Kershner, A Adama |
|
|
| Straight-up deal for the most
part. |
|
|
| New England
cuts: L James, P Hines, D Zelling, S
Casey, D Calderon |
|
|
| Sno-Dogs are trying to cut
some of the old fat. Surprised they
didn't make camp, but that's how it goes sometimes. |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: K Tempel |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: B Strayhorn, A Ramsey, J
Walford, M Randall, D Butel |
|
|
| Butel had a good career, but I
think it's about over. |
|
|
| February 20,
2011 Second Update |
|
|
| I had a few
minutes and there were a lot of picks, OK? |
|
|

gets: $275K, E6-24, future
considerations (K Pung after training camp) |
|
|
| Eugene gets: D McCloud, J King, J Feyers, M Thompson, L
Adama, E Cohen |
|
|
| Dude, I only put each team's
camp on one sheet of paper. |
|
|
| Montreal
gets: M Harvan |
|
|
| Eugene gets: E5-27, E5-31 |
|
|
| Montreal wants something that
can give them something now. Now to
figure out what Harvan actually gives them… |
|
|
| February 20,
2011 Update |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: B Cameron |
|
|
| They're gonna go with a
younger kicker, apparently. |
|
|
| Eugene
gets: A Westenberger, J Wilshire |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: $60K |
|
|
| Well, it's better than just
cutting them. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: K Harbaugh, B Jones |
|
|
| Chicago gets: T Cadet, P Rose, $500K |
|
|
| The Miners desperately needed
to get a quarterback, and Cadet is actually pretty good. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: R Murphy, G Taft, D McFarland |
|
|
| They can't take 80 to camp, I
guess. |
|

|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: 2012 TB E2 |
|
|
| Tucson just going for more
players this year. |
|
|
| London
gets: 2012 VEN E1, 2012 WIS E2 |
|
|
| Venice gets: N Haze |
|
|
| London doesn't have a huge
need for the young DS, and Venice gets a piece they do need. |
|
|
| London
gets: 2012 E3, D Simpson |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: J Porter, $150K, E4-26, E6-12 |
|
|
| Basically a swap of OS' that
don't fit one system and do fit the other. |
|
|
| London
gets: E4-21 |
|
|
| New England gets: $200K |
|
|

depth back. |

|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: E3-14 |

|
| Reign spent quite a bit to get
a whole lot of nothing. |
|
|
| Tucson

E6-13, 2012 E1, 2012 LI E1 & E2 |
|
|
| Fort Dodge gets: R June, M Horowitz |
|
|
| The Roughriders scream they
aren't rebuilding. Why? I don't know; they just did… |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
gets: E3-16 |
|
|
| Tucson gets: $750K |
|
|
| Reign did the same thing
again. They say they're done buying
picks. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: $150K, 2012 MON E3 |
|
|
| London gets: E3-21 |
|
|
| London, however, isn't done
buying picks. |
|
|
| London
gets: E3-23 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: $150K |

2011 Update |
|
|
| Vancouver

|
|
| Eugene gets: T Clements |

Damon Owens gets hurt. |

|
| February 8,
2011 Update |
|
|
| London
gets: E3-4 |
|
|
| Chicago gets: T Hatherly, $250,000 |
|
|
| Sure, it looks bad now since London got a sleeper (Chi
got $100K extra for it), but Chicago got a legitimate player for an E3. They did fine. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: E3-19, E5-12 |
|
|
| London gets: D MacClellan |
|
|
| And to think this guy was once
the clear-cut #1 quarterback in the OIFL Entry Draft, a guy who had superstar
written all over him. |
|
|
| Long Island
signs: R Moesly, R Harpeteker |
|
|
| Moesly still has a little in
the tank, I think. |
|

| February 3,
2011 Update |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: E2-9, 2012 TEX E2 |
|
|
| London gets: E2-14, 15 |
|
|
| Fair deal both ways. |
|
|
| DC gets: E2-16, $200K |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E2-11 |
|
|
| DC will probably get who they
really wanted anyways, so a double win. |
|
|
| Portland
gets: L O'Neil, D Jackson |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: E2-12 |
|
|
| This works, I suppose. |
|

| February 2,
2011 Nighttime Update |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: E2-7, E2-29 |
|
|
| Montreal gets: A Murphy, T Stallworth |
|
|
| Hm, might be a stiff price to
pay for what amounts to two sleeper shots. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: W Slevin, $125K |
|
|
| Venice gets: 2012 WIS E2 |
|
|
| Slevin is a guy the Tigers can
build into something. |
|
|
| Montreal
gets: H Wyandt, T Bruttenholm |
|
|
| London gets: E3-7, 2012 E1, E3 |
|
|
| Okay then. I guess neither team liked their QB… |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: $75K |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: D Tompsett |
|
|
| These are the trades that can
build a team from a middling playoff team to a title winner, if they can
develop the young guys. |
|
|
| Montreal
gets: T Grayson, E5-18 |
|
|
| Detroit gets: E4-32, E5-7 |
|
|
| Montreal gets something that's
kind of like a sure thing in exchange for one sleeper shot, basically. Ish. |
|
|
| February 2,
2011 Update |
|
|
| London
gets: E3-12, E3-19, E5-11, 2012 LI E2 |
|
|
| Fort Dodge gets: E2-18, E2-20, $100K if any of those picks
hits a sleeper. |
|
|
| I'm not sure what Fort Dodge
is trying to do. |
|
|
| Minneapolis
cuts: M White |
|
|
| This is an amnesty cut. |
|
|
| Minneapolis
gets: Q Ammons, $250K |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E2-2, E4-25 |
|
|
| A stellar deal for the
Mustangs there; Ammons is legit. |
|
|
| January 31,
2011 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: E6-32 |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: T Olivares |
|
|
| Under most circumstances, I'd
think Lysoby got screwed…but teams aren't trading for old guys anymore. This was a great deal for CV, but a needed
one for KC. |
|
|
| January 30,
2011 Update |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: B Greenwald, R Johnson |
|
|
| They're just not very useful
anymore. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: C Stanley, L Martin, 2012 WIS
E2, 2012 KC & TUC E5 |
|
|
| Texas gets: J Cornell |
|
|
| Tigers still rebuilding things
up. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: K Hopkins, A Shipman |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $20K |
|
|
| Tigers still getting the age
away here. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: W Yetzer |
|
|
| D.C. gets: C Stanley |
|
|
| Stanley doesn't fit what the
Tigers really wanted. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: E1-5 |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E1-10, 2012 TB E2 |
|
|
| I don't like this for Tucson,
but they got who they'd have taken anyways. |
|
|
| London
gets: E1-10, E2-18 |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E1-6 |
|
|
| And that's why… |
|
|
| London
gets: 2012 TB E1 |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: M Blevins |
|
|
| Raise your hands if you
thought Tampa Bay would trade an E1 for a running back. Liar. |

|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: R Williams, S Walters, R Moesly
(amnesty), M Razorman |

have to get younger to truly rebuild.
Let's see if it lasts… |
|
|
| Omaha
cuts: M Hines, K Chudobiack |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: T Bayfield |
|
|
| Long Island gets: $25K |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: G Flynn |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: Z Quammen |
|
|
| I guess RM thought nothing of
Flynn to trade him for camp fodder. |
|
|
| Eugene
gets: $50K |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: M Lansdale |
|
|
| This is the best of the KC
trades here. |

|
|
| Venice
signs: M O'Donnell |

|
|
| Portland gets: E1-11, E1-19, E1-28, E2-12, E2-24, E2-34 |
|
|
| Portland decided they were not
a championship team, and made the appropriate move to rebuild. Fort Dodge decided inflated contracts was
what they were best at, I guess. |
|
|
| January 11,
2011 Update |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: T Grayson |
|
|
| DC gets: R Myatt |
|
|
| Yep, this is an all-timer… |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: G Briggs, $1M @ Week 8, 16 |
|
|
| Fort Dodge gets: V Nostran, 2012 LA E2, $3.5M |
|
|
| Nostran just isn't that much
worse than Briggs to forego solving your financial disaster and getting an E2
next year. |
|

2011 Update |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
gets: T Jones |
|
|
| D.C. gets: E3-23 |
|
|
| D.C. gives up an all-time
great that still has something in the tank…FD needs to find a way to give him
a raise, though, as he ain't gonna play for $32K a year. |
|
|
| January 6,
2011 Update |
|
|
| Another year,
another dollar. |
|
|
| Eugene
gets: A Malifa |
|
|
| Venice gets: J Brockson |
|
|
| An interesting trade, as many
of ours usually are. |
|
|
| After I get
back update |
|
|
| Well, for
Christmas from the OIFL, it appears I got a bunch of training camp group
players before they get cut to put on rosters! |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D3-14 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: H Tucker |
|
|
| The D3's a throw in for Balto
to get a throw-in player they used to have back. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: D3-30, 31 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: T Dean, $100K |
|
|
| Fatmen are still looking for
some help on their roster, and maybe something will be there? |
|
|
| Portland
gets: D Caruther |
|
|
| Eugene gets: M Harvan, E3-20,22 |
|
|
| Caruther is the best player in
this deal, but he is severely limited defensively. |
|
|
| Portland
gets: $100K |
|
|
| Tucson gets: D3-25 |
|
|
| Tucson wants camp fodder. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: D3-22 |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: E6-18 |
|
|
| Both teams have different
goals for what they want out of late picks. |

|
|
| Texas gets: D 2-30 |
|
|
| Okay then… |
|
|
| December 21,
2010 Update |
|
|
| North Dakota
gets: D Jacques, D2-30, E6-17 |
|
|
| Texas gets: D2-23 |
|
|
| Texas gave up a little bit, I
guess, but they wanted a certain all-time great running back to really show
Cox how to be a great player. |
|
|
| Minneapolis
gets: P Benney, $600K |
|
|
| Venice gets: A Reight, 2012 E2 |
|
|
| Benney's going to help the
Mustangs more than Reight would, for sure. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: 2012 WIS E2, 2012 TEX E5, 2012
KC E5 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: G Peterson |
|
|
| Good, Blitz are finally
realizing games are to be won in 2011. |
|
|
| December 20,
2010 Update |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: D Vuich |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: D3-14 |
|
|
| Where Fort McMurray probably
got the better player here, it's Baltimore that saves some cash. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: D2-28, 2012 TB E4 |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: D2-18, W Zjoe |
|
|
| Tampa takes a very middling
player and gives up a pick to move 10 spots up. |
|
|
| New England
gets: D2-24, $75K with conditions that
could raise it to $150K - cash paid at year's end |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: K Vidoteca |
|
|
| Well, it's legal unless KC is
still broke by then, which if that happens may cause me to go to his place of
employment holding up a sign that says "James Lysoby likes little
boys." |
|
|
| Eugene
gets: J Brockson, D Hensel, D
Caruther, 2012 E1 |
|
|
| Wisconsin gets: J Huff, G Tiebach, D2-16, D2-25 |
|
|
| The Warlords are playing for
keeps. But it's not like Eugene
mortgaged today for the future, either. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: D3-31, M Hoper |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: D2-19, M Razorman |
|
|
| Hoper probably still has the
most left in the tank. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: J Paul, $400K |
|
|
| Texas gets: D2-27, D2-30 |
|
|
| Texas has their eye on
someone, methinks. |
|
|
| December 18,
2010 Update |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: D2-6, D2-34 |
|
|
| Norfolk gets: L Arundel, D Tate, E6 |
|
|
| I'd say the Knights get the
proven commodity, but neither of those players have ever played… |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: D2-17, D3-8, E6-4, 11, 16 |
|
|
| Omaha gets: $100K |
|
|
| Oh, that uh, that there's an
RV. Yeah, yeah, I borrowed it off a buddy of mine. He took my house, I took
the RV. It's a good looking vehicle, ain't it? |
|
|
| I mean, seriously. Omaha has a serious depth deficiency and
$15,000,000 in the bank. So they trade
depth for cash?! |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: T Friedman |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: 2012 E4, $20K |
|
|
| Okay then… |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: 2012 E2, $75K |
|
|
| Wisconsin gets: B Meisinger |
|
|
| So that's why Harvey texted me
asking if this offer was real. |
|
|
| December 16,
2010 Update |
|
|
| I know one
thing. I'm not doing an update on
December 17. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: 2012 OMA E1, E4-9, E4-15,
E5-21, $420K |
|
|
| London gets: E1-6 |
|
|
| I suppose the Vengeance did
get value here, but they really have no use for the E1-6? |
|
|
| December 14,
2010 Update |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: $50K, $250K if pick is a sleeper |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E6-27 |
|
|
| LI still needs cash. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: A LaPetri, D Schlosser |
|
|
| Atlanta gets: J Glass, J Jackson |
|
|
| Jackson's buildable, but Glass
is the key. Now, Atlanta has a
quarterback. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: D1-31 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: E1-6 |
|
|
| This seems like a pretty good
price for the Blitz. |
|
|
| London
gets: E1-2, E3-1 |
|
|
| Portland gets: E1-1, D Martin |
|
|
| Before you say that London was
dumb, they got rid of a contract they wanted for nothing. Portland has made it clear who they are
going to draft (to LON) and it's not the same player |
|
|
| London wanted to draft. So basically, everyone wins, because
Portland wanted Martin for the depth. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: S Harlan, K Cruise, M Taylor |
|
|
| Texas gets: W Salazar, M Jacobs, C Stanley |
|
|
| And Harlan makes yet another
move… |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: T Bayfield |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: $5K |
|
|
| Minny gets some cash for a guy
they'd have cut. Yay! |
|
|

|
|
| See above. |

E4-13, E4-20 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: D1-20, D1-23 |
|
|
| Long Island needed a move like
this to shed some payroll. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: D2-19, T Worth |
|
|
| Detroit gets: T Doxen, M Kenton |
|
|
| Detroit wants to try and get
back into the contender mode rather than fringe playoff mode. Not sure this does it. |
|
|
| Minneapolis
gets: L Bishop, J Waldron, E4-25, 2012
E1, $200K |
|
|
| Portland gets: E1-2 |
|
|
| Portland needs depth - they
already had a pretty good collection of top players. |
|
|
| Vancouver

|
|
| Tucson gets: D3-9, E2-18, E2-25, E6-18, E6-30 |

|
|
| Corpus Christi

| This is a cost-cutting move
for the Storm. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: D1-22, D1-27 |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: D1-11 |
|
|
| This is a trade that works
very well both ways. |

2010 Update |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
gets: J Cooper |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: E1-22 |

won't be the man when Schultz goes down? |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: D1-8, D2-26, D2-29, D3-1, D3-29 |
|
|
| London gets: D1-14, D2-14, E2-12, E4-26 |
|
|
| Pretty fair deal both ways. |

| Fort Dodge
gets: D1-19, D3-19, $400K |
|
|
| Venice gets: S Craig |

|
| The rebuild keeps going - Fort
Dodge is doing a pretty good job with it, IMO. |
|
|
| London
gets: T Hatherly, D2-26, D2-29, D3-29 |
|
|
| Texas gets: T Jefferson |
|
|
| If it's an overpay, it's not
by much, and it's because Texas wanted Jefferson back. |
|

| Eugene gets: E1-17, E1-20, D1-20 |
|
|
| The Rattlers need cash, but
I'd think they'd have needed the players, too. |
|
|
| December 1,
2010 Update |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: D1-33 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: C Antai |
|
|
| D.C. banking that the D1-33
gets them something they need more than Antai. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: E5-16 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: D3-31 |
|
|
| Just a swap - Tucson again
going for sleepers. |
|
|
| November 30,
2010 Update |
|
|
| As you see,
I've moved the FA players to the DD and have created an expansion draft tab. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: S Bollings |
|
|
| Tucson gets: R June, E2-16, E4-27, E4-31 |
|
|
| The annual Tucson rebuild
beginneth in earnest. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: J Baez |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: D1-29 |
|
|
| Fair deal both ways. |
|
|
| Norfolk
gets: J Shanklin |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E1-5, E3-6, E5-28 |
|
|
| See above. |
|
|
| November 29,
2010 Update |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: J Bradley, D2-19 |
|
|
| Venice gets: E1-13, D1-18 |
|
|
| Pretty straightforward deal
both ways. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: C Mace, B Woodcock |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: T Richmond |
|
|
| Well, Stotts gets a couple
more of his own, as the Scorpions think losing to the best team in OIFL
history is a problem…apparently. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: E1-13, E1-16 |
|
|
| Venice gets: $750K, C Coyne |
|
|
| Well, Evansville is as good as
anyone at getting rid of stuff and getting more stuff for it. |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: B Berman |
|
|
| Venice gets: D1-24 |
|
|
| Berman's a good player, but
Venice wants to amass more picks to work with. |
|
|
| Montreal
gets: S Weeks, K Ludeman, R Lewis, S
Womack, J Annette, M Fly |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: D1-7, D1-33, D2-7, E1-6 |
|
|
| Well, that's one way to start
a team. |
|
|
| November 24,
2010 Update |
|
|
| Happy Thanksgiving! |
|
|
| Eugene
gets: D1-23 |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: $700K |
|
|
| These are the sorts of things
ND will have to do to get out of debt. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: P Tuttle, $1M @ year-end, $1.5M
@ year-end if no OIFLCup title |
|
|
| Fort Dodge gets: $2M |
|
|
| Well, the Roughriders still
have a lot of holes to fill, but getting some cash here for a guy who is no
longer any sort of long-term solution works. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: E1-8, E1-24 |
|
|
| London gets: E1-14, E1-15 |
|
|
| Detroit always wants the best
it can get, while London thinks they can drop a bit and get what they want
anyways. |
|
|
| November 22,
2010 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: $100K |
|
|
| Detroit gets: W Zjoe, R Myatt |
|
|
| I really don't see where these
two help the Gladiators out much. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: P Dozer, E4-13 |
|
|
| London gets: M Stubbs |
|
|
| Stubbs may be a one-way
option, but he's going to provide some much needed backup to Loughman. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: T Clements, D Butel |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $165K |
|
|
| This deal makes absolutely no
sense for the Vengeance. They don't
need an overpaid old WRDB, they don't need a starting quarterback to back up
Sauk, either… |
|
|
| Eugene
gets: D2, 2012 E4, E5 |
|
|
| Portland gets: R Kreig, M Ahmed |
|
|
| Probably a fair deal. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: D Eisenhart, E3-2, E4-20, $700K
at end of 2011 |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: D d'Andrea, E1-20, 2012 DC E1/D1 (their
choice) |
|
|
| This is probably the largest
move in terms of getting SA back on their feet they could make. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: E1-10, E2-26 |
|
|
| Texas gets: M Stotts |
|
|
| Texas gets a true #1 threat to
go with Kenneth, while the Marauders get a couple players that will help them
at some point. |
|
|
| November 20,
2010 Update |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: C Kendrick |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $20K |
|
|
| Just another on a long line of
salary clearing trades, if KC is serious about solving their financial
issues. |
|
|
| (Yesterday, KC
and LI made a trade involving Butch Blast amongst others - not really sure if
it did much for anyone, though) |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: E2-3 |
|
|
| Detroit gets: 2012 TUC E1 |
|
|
| A fair deal, though I'm
surprised Detroit isn't going for the picks now. |
|
|
| November 19,
2010 Update |
|
|
| Venice
gets: E1-16, $1M |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: L Williams |
|
|
| Well, Williams is a bit of an
upgrade. Venice didn't want to pay his
salary (which is fair, really). |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: W Mitchell |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: R Johnsen, T Brumfield |
|
|
| While Mitchell is the best of
the three, STL isn't exactly getting a pair of stiffs here. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: E Kifer |
|
|
| Evansville gets: D1-11 |
|
|
| The Squirrels were never going
to quite get value for a guy who is clearly a starting-capable DS, but was
their fourth DS. They didn't do bad,
though. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: E1-10, E4-31, J Glass, $350K,
$300K @ TV payout, J Enderle, 2012 E1 or D1 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: C Stanley, M Jacobs, J Spellman, D Jackson |
|
|
| Jackson's a player that while
he has one year left, probably, D.C. will get a pretty good year there. Clearly the key to the deal. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: M Bell, $1M |
|
|
| Texas gets: E1-10, E4-31, 2012 LA E1 |
|
|
| Good trade both ways. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: D1-28 |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: M Bell |
|
|
| This is a pretty good overpay
here - Bell's now got a two year K at 60,000 a week…that's going to be rough
in 2012. |
|
|
| Eugene
gets: D Morgan, N Nash, K Pung, 2012
E1 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: G Wilson, B James, 2012 E3, $200K |
|
|
| I'm not sure this is the deal
Eugene should be making, though James is expensive. |
|
|
| November 15,
2010 Update |
|
|
| Happy Veterans Day a bit late
- thanks to all who serve/d! |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: M Mauller |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: E5-16 |
|
|
| While some will complain that
KC is getting "bailed out," giving up a mid E5 for a guy who will
start at DS isn't bad. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: $2,766,379.74, 2012 LA E1,
E1-21, C Rhodes, J Jackson |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: A James, R Lewis |
|
|
| Lewis *is* the throw-in here,
but hey, Art James is a big time pickup for the Predators. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: D1-4 |
|
|
| Washington gets: K Kline |
|
|
| Phantoms want a two way impact
guy and should get it here; Washington wants a big time DS, and Kline should
be that. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: R Brownings, D2-22 |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: D1-24, D1-27 |
|
|
| Brownings accepted a 3-year
deal with the Rush before this trade was made. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: Comp E4, E5 |
|
|
| Norfolk gets: J Huaman |
|
|
| I think Norfolk shoulda waited
until he retired, but that's just me. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: D1-9 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: 2012 KC E1, 2012 FM E3, 2012 RM E3, 2012
VEN E3 |
|
|
| I think the Vengeance could've
used the talent now, but hey, what do I know? |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: CV D2, 2012 E4 |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: M Farris |
|
|
| I'm not sure how I feel here -
Omaha really could've used Farris again next year to help with their starting
lineup, but he wanted big bucks. |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
gets: E1-29, $700K |
|
|
| London gets: D1-12, E2-21 |
|
|
| Fort Dodge needs to get in
better financial position; this is how to do it. |
|
|
| London
gets: 2012 E1, D1-8 |
|
|
| Omaha gets: D1-25, D2-1, D2-9, 2012 TUC E3, D Boll |
|
|
| London wants the big time
player with an early D pick, and to get it Omaha will receive what could be
four starters. |
|
|
| End of Season
Update |
|
|
| London
gets: 2012 E1 |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: P Whyel |
|
|
| Whyel saves London a bunch of
money here. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: $5M |
|
|
| Eugene gets: E Chappelle |
|
|
| Chappelle's a good player, and
Eugene has excess cash to use on such endeavors. I like this one. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: A Kruse, D Sin |
|
|
| London gets: O Linton, M Giguere, E5-21 |
|
|
| DC is still trying to get
their rebuild figured out, while London is trying to get their build figured
out. Not too bad either way. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: J Shidecker |
|
|
| Portland gets: E1-15 |
|
|
| This is conditional on
Shidecker accepting an extension. |
|
|
| London
gets: M Blevins |
|
|
| Fort Dodge gets: $150K, H Shaw |
|
|
| When you're in the terrible
spot financially the Riders are in, every trade to help the financial
position (by YE 2011, this is a $310,000 help) is needed. And it's not like Shaw |
|
|
| is that much worse than
Blevins, if he even is. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: D1-1 |
|
|
| London gets: E1-8, D2-11, E2-1, E2-8 |
|
|
| Both teams get something they
want - London wants to really solve depth issues, and the newly-named Blitz
want a big time player. Good move. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D1-27, D2-27 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: A Murphy |
|
|
| I haven't money-slotted D
picks, so this'll be a legal trade. |
|
|
| Portland
gets: L Jackson, E3-24, $600K |
|
|
| London gets: D Ellis, D1-28 |
|
|
| Strange trade for Portland,
I'm not sure the motive. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: $1M, D2-29 |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: D Johnson |
|
|
| Reign want to improve their
depth however they can, and this will help that. |
|
|
| Portland
gets: E3-12, E3-21, E3-22, E4-24 |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: S Nyer, G Boddy, $2.5M after both Week 8
and end of year 2011 |
|
|
| Bottom line - the best player
in OIFL history is getting old, and he's going to end his career the only
place he should end his career. It may
not be a huge impact trade for what Boddy |
|
|
| can actually bring to the
table come 2011, and perhaps the Fatmen did overpay a bit…but Boddy will go
into the OIFL Hall of Fame some day, and he was going to be wearing a brown |
|
|
| jersey whether or not he came
back here for what could be his last season.
This was a very good trade for the Fatmen. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: A Self |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: M Thompson |
|
|
| The Phantoms wanted to get rid
of the worst trade they've ever made, and Thompson will be a versatile
backup. |
|
|
| Chicago
gets: J Hart, N Olson, B Warhurst |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: $30,000 payable after 2011 Week 2 |
|
|
| This isn't a terrible trade
for the Miners, though clearly they're going to hope they don't have to lean
on these three guys to win. |
|
|
| Atlanta
gets: F Delighten, D Schlosser |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: $20K, payable after 2011 Week 2 |
|
|
| Hopefully Atlanta has the
cash, or the Phantoms will get two lemons back. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: S Warren |
|
|
| Texas gets: S Slabody, G Peterson, E2-17, E2-27, E4-26 |
|
|
| Um, next time I bet the
Phantoms wait for aging to overpay for a guy who's never lived up to his
billing. |
|
|
| Week 17 Update |
|
|
| Venice
signs: G Elmore |
|
|
| Week 16 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: M Mauller, C Kendrick, W Zjoe |
|
|
| Mauller's going to make
$60,000 a week next year on top of the millions he got for being cut. America's a great country. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: D Myers, J Kramer |
|
|
| Wow, that's just a ridiculos
sum of money for a backup DS. |
|
|
| DC signs: J Enderle |
|
|
| Enderle hasn't ever proven
anything, but he's still going to make thousands upon thousands for it. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: C Fleming, D Hughes, M Perry |
|
|
| They're probably all three
overpays, but Evansville isn't keeping them after 2010, so it's not so bad. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island signs: B High |
|
|
| Why, I'm not sure. |
|
|
| North Dakota
signs: G Gerber |
|
|
| Gerber's probably not worth a
3-year deal, but at least he's young and trainable. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: J Stalker, M Hartman, R
Harpeteker |
|
|
| This is probably the end of
the road for long-time OIFLer Johnny Stalker. |
|
|
| DC cuts: J King |
|
|
| King will find work somewhere. |
|
|
| North Dakota
cuts: B Eaglowski |
|
|
| Nothing to see here, folks. |
|
|
| Week 15 Update |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
signs: M Pasqua, W Tyler, N Rivers |
|
|
| Fort Dodge cuts: M Mauller, B High, D Myers, B Kendrick, D
Hughes, J Kramer, G Gerber, W Zjoe, C Fleming, M Perry, C Berrenta, J
Enderle, T Jacobs |
|
|
| This is the nuclear
button. It actually makes sense here,
as the Roughriders have decided none of these players are going to help them
long-term, especially at their price.
Get the cash |
|
|
| out now and start a true
rebuild. The players cut are
immediately available for signing for any team. |
|
|
| Week 13 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: R Myatt |
|
|
| Now that trades are done, the
roster updates are a whole lot less exciting. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
signs: T Guest |
|
|
| He's actually got a role with
the Storm immediately, as their KR. |
|
|
| Trading
Deadline Update |
|
|
| Richmond
gets: F Poley, J Pittman, H McCoy |
|
|
| London gets: B Rivera |
|
|
| I'm not sure it's a great deal
for London, but they want guys they can train up to be something in camp, and
Rivera may take two, but he qualifies. |
|
|
| London
gets: C Bender |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $40K |
|
|
| I'm never one that's huge on
backup kickers, but if you have 28 roster spots, you may as well have one. |
|
|
| London
gets: 2012 E2, E4, $650K |
|
|
| Texas gets: T Hatherly |
|
|
| Just a heads-up; the OIFL will
not be allowing future-season draft pick trades after this season. There's already 40 picks traded for 2012;
this is nuts. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: K Hopkins, Geoff, $300K, DC E5 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: J Johnson, M Kenton |
|
|
| And Mr. Training camp goes
back to Fort McMurray (Geoff has been a lot of places; he just doesn't play
much) |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: 2012 E5 |
|
|
| Detroit gets: A Shipman |
|
|
| Oh, that's exciting. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: $290K, 2012 DET E5 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: T LiPetri |
|
|
| LiPetri's definitely backup
material at this stage, but he's still a good backup. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: H Reiss, D d'Andrea, R Lewis, J
Spellman, $2M, future E4 or E5 depending on traded E1 timeframe |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: Bobcat, D Davis, M Cranston, A Bellamy, J
Johnson, future E1 (2011, 2012, or 2013) |
|
|
| Though the Rattlers
necessarily lose a little talent here, they realized their bank account was
beyond screwed if they didn’t make a major move in a hurry. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: FOR E5, $200K |
|
|
| Detroit gets: S Peyton |
|
|
| Before you wonder, Peyton is a
Dennis guy. And he's worth an E5 and
cash. |
|
|
| Minneapolis
gets: 2012 E5, $250K |
|
|
| Texas gets: A Moore |
|
|
| More bad cash off the books
for the Mustangs. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: M Wallace |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: VEN E1, 2012 STL E1, R Williams |
|
|
| Oh, now it's on. Wow. |
|
|
| London
gets: TB E3, T Bruttenholm |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: EUG E2 |
|
|
| Bruttenholm didn't really fit
in CV's plans anymore. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: E4, E5 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: J Cochran |
|
|
| I like Cochran for this price. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: S Walters |
|
|
| DC gets: S Whitehead |
|
|
| Now, Walters isn't making
$100K like he used to, but this is still $13K/3 that DC has off the
books. And Whitehead's trainable. Both sides win. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: T Clark, R Herrera, 2012 E3 |
|
|
| Venice gets: W Slevin |
|
|
| Not a really big deal here
either way. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: T Duda |
|
|
| Cincinnati gets: E5, future considerations (T Duda @ year's
end) |
|
|
| Yeah, because this is the way
to ingratiate yourself with your veteran pivot. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: B Blast |
|
|
| DC gets: B Greenwald, $250K due Week 1 2011. |
|
|
| Blast is another on the
geriatric Tigers crew, but he's still good. |
|
|
| Week 11 Update |
|
|
| Trade time
happy time is almost over! |
|
|
| London
gets: D Boll |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: NE E2, E5, $100K |
|
|
| This is purely a salary dump
for the Vengeance. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: TUC E2, RM E5, FOR E5, M Salinas |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: P Goodwin, F Lakha |
|
|
| Bienka used to hit sleepers,
so this is a bit of a surprise. |
|
|
| Detroit
signs: R Ghiraldi |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: G Blatenberger, E Cramer, W
Slevin, LI E2 |
|
|
| DC gets: EVL E4, O Linton |
|
|
| When trying to save cash,
making trades that save cash helps. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: D Wingate, KC E4, $500K |
|
|
| Texas gets: K Cruise |
|
|
| Yeah, this works. |
|
|
| DC gets: T Grayson, K McKenzie |
|
|
| Tucson gets: T Richmond |
|
|
| These are the deals teams that
aren't going anywhere should be going after…get something young for something
that won't be helpful when you get good. |
|
|
| Portland
gets: S Nyer, E3, D Ellis |
|
|
| London gets: A Kruse, L Czarniecki |
|
|
| Okay, there's a difference
between rebuilding and shooting yourself in the foot. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: T Ando |
|
|
| London
gets: S McGinty, B Nelson, E4 |
|
|
| Wisconsin gets: A Caspersen |
|
|
| This one's marginally better
than the one above, but that doesn't make it a great trade. |
|
|
| DC gets: J Benham, C Antai, $275K, E5 |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: C Macrides |
|
|
| DC is doing what they need to
do to get better tomorrow, since they're not winning anything today. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: S Whitehead |
|
|
| I'd think he'd have even paid
a couple G's for the guy. |
|
|
| Week 10 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: J Wensely, J Barclay |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
signs: J Cant, R Reynolds, R Morrison |
|
|
| DC gets: B Blast |
|
|
| Washington gets: J Carper |
|
|
| These are the kinds of deals
that improve teams quickly. Blast
still has something left in the tank, but Carper fits more what WAS wants to
do…if they intend to use a WR. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: L Nash |
|
|
| Fort Dodge gets: S Craig, 2012 LI E1, E2, LON E5, VAN E5,
the $1M from LON |
|
|
| Well, this isn't really the
type of deal I'd ever expect the Vengeance to make, but I like it. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: R Williams, 2012 E2 |
|
|
| DC gets: J Pritchett |
|
|
| This is a pure salary dump,
and DC is more than happy to oblige. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: C Stanley, L Jackson, G
Blackwell, D Davis |
|
|
| London gets: HOU E1, 2012 TUC E3, E4, S Nyer, future
considerations (L Jackson, P Dozer at year's end) |
|
|
| Long Island wants to make a
move now, but this seems to be more about backup pieces. |
|
|
| Richmond
gets: G Rogers, K St. Pierre |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: L Moore, T Bayfield, A Reight, E2, POR E3,
E4 |
|
|
| This for Richmond isn't about
winning a Cup this year - it's about gaining some legitimacy without
mortgaging the future. They did that. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: R Cabreda, R Shore |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: R Tyus, M Harvan, E3 |
|
|
| Well, I'm pretty sure the QBs
will get killed in Minneapolis, but at least they're getting rid of older
pieces they've no use for. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: T Bruttenholm, F Consentino, E4 |
|
|
| Evansville gets: M Djordjevic |
|
|
| This seems to fill needs on
both ends. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
signs: N Rivers |
|
|
| I feel safe to say the
Lightning wouldn't have made this particular move. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: J Pucci |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: C Brinkerhoff, $400K |
|
|
| The cash sealed it here, as
the team needs it. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: K Breen |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: J Johnson, J Hankin, M Salinas, 2012 TUC E2
(they offered their E5, this is the only '12 pick they have, so they must
have meant this) |
|
|
| Bienka's good at making
something out of nothing…so here. |
|
|
| Minneapolis
gets: K Ellis |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: POR E3, E4 |
|
|
| Well, by the letter of the law
set forth, this does make them younger.
But this one hurts. |
|
|
| DC gets: S Walters |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: T Dean, L Teabing |
|
|
| Walters is getting long in the
tooth anyways. |
|
|
| London
gets: A Emmons, D DeLap |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: B Ungar, R Williams |
|
|
| Getting rid of DeLap is the
cherry on top of this sundae. |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: W Mitchell |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: M Kenton, J Hollingsworth, 2012 E1,2,3 |
|
|
| STL is playing for keeps. |
|
|
| Portland
gets: C Bryant |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: D Rowley, M Thompson |
|
|
| While QB isn't a desperate
need, Rowley's pretty good. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: K Stanford |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: RM E2,3,4,5 |
|
|
| Well, Tampa traded for a
running back. Never thought I'd see
that. |
|
|
| Venice
gets: J Bradley |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: X Rogers, E1, TUC E2 |
|
|
| The E1 and E2 will be nice. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: F Holderbaum |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
signs: S Young, J Young, M Bassett |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: T Olivares, M Stubbs |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: D Ladd, L Quick, $350K |
|
|
| This gets FMF out of
"fiscal emergency," though things won't really be stable until
Bob's Car Repairs Stadium hosts its first OIFL game in six years. |
|
|
| Fort McMurray
gets: J Colombo |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: 2012 E3 |
|
|
| Colombo's a guy that can still
play a bit if he's used to his capabilities…the people with the Fatmen can do
that. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: J Conner, future considerations |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: D Butel, 2012 DC E2, 2012 KC E5, future
considerations |
|
|
| The two players will go back
to their old homes at year's end. |
|
|
| So, the league has a rule
change that'll need made. Ye olde
loophole was found. |
|
|
| Portland
gets: J Olson, future considerations |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: J Peoples, D Boll, future considerations |
|
|
| Olson and Peoples will go back
to their old homes at year's end. |
|
|
| See above. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: T North (H Tucker is
subsequently cut) |
|
|
| Tucson gets: 2012 RM E3 |
|
|
| North goes back to one of his
old homes. This isn't the one he'd
rather have gone back to. |
|
|
| And really, why is Tampa
wanting to run the ball so much all of a sudden? Their offense hasn't been the problem! |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: A Self, DET E2, 2012 RM E3 |
|
|
| Tucson gets: A Hicks, Q Ammons |
|
|
| What? You don't get better by dumping really good
looking young players for an E2 and garbage!
Ow! |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: M Hoper |
|
|
| Omaha gets: T Knight |
|
|
| Omaha really needed to, you
know, try, to get something young and buildable. Knight is neither. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: B Schmidt |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: L Bullocks, STL E4 |
|
|
| Bullocks is going to be really
good, but WIS still needed WRDB depth in all kinds of desperate ways. Now they have some. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: H Tucker |
|
|
| Okay, then. |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
gets: T Jacobs |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: T Ando, then cuts him |
|
|
| The Riders didn't want to cut
one of the better players in the league's storied history. KC has no such qualms. |
|
|
| Week 9 Update |
|
|
| Portland
gets: J Shidecker |
|
|
| Spokane gets: M Cain, D Coleman, S Ness, P Stephenson, T
Onderdonk, WIS E3 |
|
|
| So basically, they traded
Stephen Fox, Gary Greger, and E4 and an E5 for this poo poo platter
deluxe. This was the trade that
finally broke the camel's back. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D Ladd, $750K |
|
|
| Omaha gets: B Long |
|
|
| Long may not be around for
if/when Omaha gets good again, but this is a good trade. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: R Brown, $4M at EOC (for Brown
bonus), $3M if Brown recorded 8 sacks through this year's end (between Weeks
9-16) |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: T Jacobs, $3M |
|
|
| And this is what you do when
you're in a superior bargaining position. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: $100K |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: P Marntos |
|
|
| I guess it's an OK deal, but I
fail to see what Marntos will bring. |
|
|
| The Spokane
Eagles under new ownership have moved to Richmond, Virginia, and will become
the Bandits. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: 2012 TUC E5 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: Geoff |
|
|
| Geoff is a good veteran
presence with little talent…Long Island isn't exactly lacking in veteran
presence, though. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: J Wensely |
|
|
| A little surprise, but not a
huge one. They traded an E3 for him,
yes, but he's the worst player on the roster.
Richmond could use his experience. |
|
|
| Washington
cuts: J Cant |
|
|
| Cant's had a long career with
a fair amount of success, but I can't see how it's going to continue. |
|
|
| Waco
cuts: J Barclay |
|
|
| Waco's improved. He's not good enough. |
|
|
| All-Star Week
Update |
|
|
| London
gets: 2011 E5, 2012 E4, G Blackwell |
|
|
| Wisconsin gets: B Pennington |
|
|
| In 2005, New England started
0-8 and then traded for Bob Danylchak.
They finished 8-8. Wisconsin,
which started 0-7, now looks like they could do something similar. |
|
|
| Long Island
signs: J Hankin, W Jefferson |
|
|
| Long Island cuts: J Young |
|
|
| Well, Jefferson's really got
years and years of experience riding the bench, so this could be huge. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: S Fox, G Greger, VAN E5,
DET E4 |
|
|
| Spokane gets: J Shidecker |
|
|
| Just cut the pretense -
Shidecker, as he keeps getting traded, will not sign before FAFFA without a
contract that pays well in excess of $100,000 a week, fully guaranteed. |
|
|
| Week 8 Update |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: R Morrison, J O'Keller |
|
|
| Wisconsin signs: J Schmotzer, T Bynum |
|
|
| Every pickup like this, no
matter how small, is still an improvement. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
gets: E1 |
|
|
| Portland gets: D Boll |
|
|
| I think this deal works OK
both ways. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: 2012 E1, F Delighten, E Smith, A
Ogden, J Colombo |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: 2012 E3, T Clements, B Long |
|
|
| While it's mostly a
backup-for-backup trade, I can't help think KC did well here. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: $250K |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: CV 2012 E3 |
|
|
| Okay, surprise. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: Y Blumenthal |
|
|
| Portland gets: E3, $1M, D Coleman, S Ness |
|
|
| Even at 0-7, the Warlords
aren't waiting. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: J Linzeth |
|
|
| Spokane gets: T Rallings, E2 |
|
|
| This was clearly just for the
E2 and more relief. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: J Shidecker |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: D Morgan, N Nash |
|
|
| I'm not sure why the Vengeance
are adding pieces that may leave at year's end, but we'll go with it. |
|
|
| Portland
gets: J Groves |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: 2012 E2, E3 |
|
|
| The Storm are getting
perilously thin, only 19 guys on the roster now. |
|
|
| Week 7 Update |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: D Butts, S Nelson |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: TB E3, $1M |
|
|
| Smart move here to get some
cash to get out of the financial problems for now. |
|
|
| Long Island
signs: J Young |
|
|
| Long Island cuts: F Holderbaum |
|
|
| We're not missing much here. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: T Doxen, D Beard, P Dozer, DET
E2, DC E5 |
|
|
| DC gets: C Macrides, T Richmond, C Palso, J Carper |
|
|
| Friends, I present you this
public service announcement as a courtesy to a player that I feel has a lot
of talent and upside, and that has been treated unfairly by many. |
|
|
| Corey Palso does not have
leprosy. Thank you. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: J Avery, DET E2 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: K Hopkins, HOU E1, 2012 TUC E2,3,4,5, $1M
to LI if TUC wins OIFLCup in 2010/11, $2M to LI if TUC trades Avery before
end of contract |
|
|
| I guess this is retaliation
for Fly? |
|
|
| Waco
cuts: Z Quammen, J Schmotzer, J
Hankin, T Bynum |
|
|
| Though they're paying far far
far far far far far too much for what talent they're getting, these guys
aren't needed anymore. |
|
|
| Waco
gets: D Alexander |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: J Hart, TEX E2, WAC E4, 2012 LI E1,2,3 |
|
|
| My cousin-in-law, whose heart
is bigger than his brain… |
|
|
| I appreciate that, Clark. |
|
|
| …is innocent. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: F Scallia |
|
|
| Texas gets: D Wingate, KC E4 |
|
|
| There is no truth to the rumor
that Texas was reluctant to make this trade because they feared the Vengeance
would then turn Scallia over for five picks and cash. |
|
|
| Cincinnati
gets: K Graham |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: J Bullock |
|
|
| This is the rare deal that's
pretty much fair both ways, but I'm not really sure why the Rush need a
second starting pure LB. |
|
|
| Week 6 Update |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: K Boston |
|
|
| Spokane gets: J Krivenko, S Kramer |
|
|
| So Spokane traded Weisgarber,
Rozier, Spencer, an E1, E2, E3, E5 for Kramer and Krivenko. I can see the logic in that Kramer's now
the best receiver on the roster, but this was |
|
|
| one of the worst moves I've
seen a team make in awhile. Sorry,
though, no pretty bird. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: M Samuels |
|
|
| Detroit gets: E1, E3, P Goodwin |
|
|
| Samuels is a big time receiver
for the Phantoms. |
|
|
| North Dakota
gets: Z Starks |
|
|
| Detroit gets: R Tyus, E5 |
|
|
| Starks is a very small upgrade
to the RB corps…much smaller than the next one they're gonna get below. |
|
|
| Venice
signs: X Rogers |
|
|
| Rogers is a decent depth
piece. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: O Linton |
|
|
| Omaha gets: M Trask, J Porter, E4, MIA E1 |
|
|
| An exceptional trade for
Omaha. Chris is starting to see that
you need more than 6 useable players on a roster. 28 would be nice, but Omaha must keep
making trades like this |
|
|
| to get anywhere near that. |
|
|
| Minneapolis
gets: R Cabell, TUC E1 |
|
|
| North Dakota gtes: K Mintz, E2 |
|
|
| Cabell is grossly overpriced,
yes. But, he's a guy with a lot of
upside that the Mustangs can develop over a couple years to get to
something. And they unload that
albatross of a |
|
|
| contract. On the other end, though…um…that's what you
call a statement. North Dakota was a
feel good story after the California mess of last year. "Oh look, they're 4-1, how cute. |
|
|
| They've done nice! Now get out of the big boys' way so we can
see who will really win." No
longer true. Yes, he's old. Yes, he's lost a step. But the Nighthawks just made the |
|
|
| biggest acquisition they've
ever made. Friends, they're contenders
now. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: H Gordon, M Fly |
|
|
| Waco gets: A Haddox, M Baltzell, (OS) A Smith |
|
|
| Well, Los Angeles publicly
states they try for 8-8 and anything over that is cause for happiness. Obviously, the Brit's a liar. |
|
|
| Spokane
gets: CC E1,2, TEX E3, WAC E3, LA E3, VI E5, TB E5, TUC E5, $1,000,000 |
|
|
| Waco gets: S Stewart, W
Anderson, R Gardner, P Welker |
|
|
| Just when you think Waco finds
a path to take, they go Clark Griswold and ramp into a parking lot. I
guess it saved a few minutes, though? |
|
|
| Waco
gets: J Lofton, 2012 E2,4,5 |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: T
Evans |
|
|
| Evans is a better backup for
RM, but Waco gets a few extra picks and an intriguing player in Lofton. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: F Lakha, J Rodriquez, MIN E2, VEN E5, 2012 ND E2, 2012 VAN E2, |
|
|
| 2012 LA E5, 2012 VAN E5,
$1,000,000 (ND) |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: V
Simecka, J Jerrett, R Jackson, NE E5, LA E5 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: J
Quinn |
|
|
| Well, they found their
WR. I don't understand the angle of Vancouver Island trading for a
DS/DL, though. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: D Alexander, 2012 TEX E1, 2012 LON E4, $850,000 |
|
|
| Texas gets: R June |
|
|
| Good deal both ways -
Vengeance get a little lesser player but an E1 and cash to go with it.
Texas gets a guy that'll help now. |
|
|
| Week 5 Update |
|
|
| Portland
gets: M Thompson, K Sick, $850K |
|
|
| Spokane gets: J Linzeth, P Welker, R Gardner, E3,4,5 |
|
|
| This is better than the
others, but I see no reason to add salary, especially when one of the players
is old. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: J Pritchett |
|
|
| Fort Dodge gets: V Ollie |
|
|
| Ollie will be good for awhile,
and this gives some financial relief. |
|
|
| Spokane
gets: R Gibson |
|
|
| Texas gets: EUG E2 |
|
|
| While you would say
"Spokane is terrible, why trade a pick for a player?" Gibson isn't old, and he may well be better
than a mid-round E2, so not bad here. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: B Woodcock, M Hartman |
|
|
| Spokane gets: J Manzak, G Greger, 2012 KC E3 |
|
|
| And Kansas City is now
thinking they can win this year. |
|
|
| London
gets: T Jefferson, F Scallia, EUG E2,
LON E4, OMA E4 |
|
|
| Texas gets: S Harlan |
|
|
| And London's working on next
year. Wonder what team really needs
Pennington. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: M Jacobs, C Palso |
|
|
| Washington gets: VAN, TEX, TUC E4, R Meadows, B Blast, D Fry |
|
|
| That's an interesting
deal. Dan Jackson doesn't mind not
being the focus, but he's not real keen on the wishbone. |
|
|
| London
gets: J Pittman, TEX E1 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: C Macrides |
|
|
| London is now trying to blow
things up - 1-3 isn't that bad a start for an expansion team, but clearly
Loughman is the focus here. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: D Butel |
|
|
| Washington gets: W Thurston |
|
|
| Butel's a pretty strong
veteran, but that's not the only reason he's being brought there. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: C Wier |
|
|
| Evansville gets: J Wile |
|
|
| I don't think the Tigers are
hurting for attendance so much that they need to draw fans from 300 miles
southwest. |
|
|
| Spokane
gets: K Boston |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: S Weisgarber, B Rozier, R Spencer, E3, DET
E5, 2012 E1, E2 |
|
|
| Yeah, Boston's really good,
but I'm not sure this is really part of a rebuilding project. |
|
|
| London
gets: H Shaw |
|
|
| Texas gets: F Scallia |
|
|
| Well, if they'd have sent me
the final trade and not a non-final one… |
|
|
| DC signs: T Dean |
|
|
| Dean has some usefulness, I
suppose. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: W Jefferson |
|
|
| It's probably about time here. |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
gets: D Myers |
|
|
| Spokane gets: ND E3 |
|
|
| Myers is a very average
player, but FD needs a body to fill Hill's hole. |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
signs: A Gardner |
|
|
| Gardner's a capable backup,
which they need with Borrello out. |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
gets: J Enderle, TB E2, $2M |
|
|
| Wisconsin gets: C Mace, T Moulton, W Hill |
|
|
| There we go. Wisconsin has had all this cash for years
and a refusal to try to get better with it - now, we're seeing
something. Hill fills a huge need at
DS, while Mace is better than |
|
|
| anyone the Warlords have had
since Alex Moore, when he was good. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: C Mace |
|
|
| Wisconsin gets: M Edminster, 2012 E4 |
|
|
| Harvey's starting to get back
into the swing of things here. |
|
|
| Waco
gets: J Hanklin, VAN E5, 2012 TEX E3 |
|
|
| Texas gets: R Merritt |
|
|
| I see we're getting all kinds
of wacky trades. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: N Basten |
|
|
| Wisconsin gets: S McGinty |
|
|
| McGinty is too expensive, but
he's willing to negotiate, and he is an upgrade for the Warlords. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: NE E5, $50K |
|
|
| London gets: D Martin |
|
|
| This is otherwise known as
"we got rid of him?!" |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: E4, E5, 2012 E3,4,5 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: S Weeks |
|
|
| The Vengeance really think
Hiruma will replace Sauk in a couple years, so Weeks became very expendable. |
|
|
| London
gets: P Whyel |
|
|
| Washington gets: R dos Santos |
|
|
| Whyel is going to be their
centerpiece DS for a number of years, and dos Santos is just a backup to a
guy who has all kinds of time left. |
|
|
| Waco
gets: M Fly |
|
|
| Washington gets: S Church, TB E1, 2012 LI E3, $7.5M |
|
|
| Wait, what? |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: S Young |
|
|
| Well, gotta make room for
real, live, talent. |
|
|
| London
cuts: M Pasqua, N Rivers, X Rogers |
|
|
| We're not missing much here. |
|
|
| Week 4 Update |
|
|
| Texas
gets: 2011/12 E4 |
|
|
| London gets: F Porter |
|
|
| Probably a fair deal. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: VAN E1, LON E5, 2012 VEN
E4 |
|
|
| London gets: LON E1 |
|
|
| Hard to tell if this is good
or bad, we won't know until we get slots. |
|
|
| D.C.
gets: DET E2 |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: D Schlosser |
|
|
| Schlosser fills a pretty good
need for the Phantoms in that he's an experienced lineman. |
|
|
| Spokane
gets: A Reight, B Rozier, EUG E2 |
|
|
| Venice gets: L Williams |
|
|
| Line depth is the one thing
Spokane doesn't need. Especially when
neither is all that good, and Williams is. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: M Workman, M Harvan |
|
|
| Spokane gets: T Bayfield, K Sick, E4, E5 |
|
|
| Does the league need to step
in for trading here? |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: C Anthony |
|
|
| What? |
|
|
| Texas
gets: H Shaw, E4 |
|
|
| Omaha gets: D Ladd |
|
|
| Young guys get shuffled,
nothing major here. |
|
|
| Week 3 Update |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: K Ludeman |
|
|
| Waco gets: E3 |
|
|
| Waco's just gunning for every
pick in the draft next year; that's clear. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: E Trenholm |
|
|
| Waco gets: L Hilton, R Merritt, 2011 E1,2,3 |
|
|
| Hopefully for Waco the draft
is strong. |
|
|
| Waco
gets: J Barclay, D Tickner, 2011 STL
E1, 2012 LI E1,2,3,4,5 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: J Avery, K Lemire, $10M, Avery's contract
bonuses for 2010 |
|
|
| This really isn't a good deal
for Long Island. Why exactly do they
need John Avery? The team was on its
way to avoiding these sorts of 'name' moves, and here we go again. |
|
|
| New England
signs: M O'Donnell |
|
|
| This is just a 3-week contract
while Dumont recovers. |
|
|
| Long Island
cuts: K Lemire |
|
|
| Waco signs: K Lemire |
|
|
| Waco didn't trade him
intending to resign him back like this, but since the Mean Machine didn't
really want him… |
|
|
| Long Island
signs: F Holderbaum, D Fry |
|
|
| Not seeing the need for
Holderbaum here. |
|
|
| Waco
gets: J Kershner, E2, E3, E5, TUC E5 |
|
|
| Texas gets: D Alexander |
|
|
| Okay, the fire sale is getting
a little over-the-top. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: P Woods, HOU E1, A Calp |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: $800K, L Zimmerman, J Reed |
|
|
| Zimmerman's the key to the
deal, but TB needed the cash, too (for a while). |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: $6M |
|
|
| Waco gets: TB E1,4,5 |
|
|
| Wild overpay by Waco here. |
|
|
| Texas
gets: S Warren |
|
|
| Long Island gets: A Bellamy, TEX E1,4, TUC E4, VAN E4 |
|
|
| This might actually be an
overpay by Texas - Bellamy isn't Warren, but he's not as far off as it'd
seem. |
|
|
| Portland
gets: Y Blumenthal |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: R Brown |
|
|
| The OIFL's #2 all-time
sackmaster was the odd man out with a daggone good line in Portland, and
Blumenthal can now be tutored by Boddy himself. |
|
|
| Week 2 Update |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: C Walby |
|
|
| Yeah, so the need for OS/OL
isn't real pressing. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: U Albright, K Lane |
|
|
| Wisconsin signs: R Reynolds, S Young |
|
|
| It's a slow process,
especially when using this FAFFA pile. |
|
|
| Waco
gets: MIA E3 |
|
|
| Omaha gets: M Hoper |
|
|
| This is probably the best
trade Chris has ever made. |
|
|
| Waco
signs: K Lemire, Z Quammen |
|
|
| Waco cuts: A Gardner, P Marntos |
|
|
| There'll be another cut if he
can't be traded. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: A Sandler |
|
|
| Waco gets: J Shields, KC E2 |
|
|
| This is 100% about cutting
salary. Yes, they could get better
talent, but Waco wants financial stability, because $30,000,000 isn't enough
in the bank, apparently. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: P Marntos |
|
|
| Wheeeee! |
|
|
| Week 1 Update |
|
|
| Detroit
cuts: M Voyles, K Junker, D Fry |
|
|
| We're not losing much here. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: K Lemire, K Dorius |
|
|
| In a minor upset, James Huaman
will stay with the Squirrels as their kick returner. |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: J Davis |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: R Harpeteker |
|
|
| At first glance, you might say
"why is Lysoby helping Omaha?"
Harpeteker is much more like Rayburn than Davis is, while Davis is
much more like Kaleo than Harpeteker is. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
signs: N Basten, R Morrison |
|
|
| Wisconsin cuts: W Piatt, R Spillett |
|
|
| The Warlords need to take
bigger steps than this, but baby steps are still steps. |
|
|
| D.C.
cuts: M O'Donnell, T Couloumbe, T Dean |
|
|
| I can see O'Donnell getting a
backup gig somewhere. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: R Rinehardt |
|
|
| We'll see what happens with
these guys that are being cut. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: R Tanner, C Bradley |
|
|
| Tanner hurts a bit for the
price it'll be. |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: J Romano |
|
|
| Not real strong player here. |
|
|
| Cincinnati
cuts: P Bain |
|
|
| Will he get a job? |
|
|
| Minneapolis
cuts: F Luntz |
|
|
| Yeah, he won't. |
|
|
| June 10, 2010
Update |
|
|
| London
gets: 2012 E2,4,5, R dos Santos, X
Rogers, $300K |
|
|
| Venice gets: M Frager |
|
|
| London wants good leadership
guys, but they may have jettisoned quite a bit of talent for it and a few
picks way down the road. |
|
|
| June 9, 2010
Update |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: W Wilkes, M Hines, MIA E3, $200K |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: Y Blumenthal |
|
|
| I guess that's what you gotta
do to try and get more talent… |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: C Bender |
|
|
| Tucson gets: $1K |
|
|
| Last of the big spenders. |
|
|
| June 5, 2010
Update |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: 2012 E3, $2K |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: K McGregor |
|
|
| It's a backup spot, and he
paid largely a backup price for it. |
|
|
| New England
gets: P Reynolds |
|
|
| London gets: 2011 E2, E5, 2012 E5 |
|
|
| Reynolds fills perhaps the
Sno-Dogs' biggest need. London also
didn't need him anymore. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: B Greenwald |
|
|
| Greenwald isn't nearly as
useful in a faster OIFL, but he's still got some talent. |
|
|
| June 1, 2010
Update |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
gets: J Leod |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $1,000 |
|
|
| A salary dump, though I'm sure
there are ulterior motives involved. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: J Young, E Cox, N MacNaver, D
Finke, E Truett |
|
|
| I'd be surprised if many of
these guys got picked up. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: D Thompson, F Doctor, R
Perreault, C Anthony, N Basten, J Salko, B Greenwald |
|
| There's a couple projects
there, but we're not looking at an all-star cut brigade. |
|
| May 7, 2010
Update |
|
| Tucson
cuts: J Ford, J Fitzsimmons, R
Morrison, K Symon |
|
|
| You didn't expect them to cut
Lang, did you? |
|
|
| El Cinco de
Mayo! |
|
|
| Venice
signs: B Rozier |
|
|
| Rozier provides some depth and
he'll be buildable for a camp or two down the line, too. |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: Jackson, Emrick |
|
|
| Tucson gets: $500K |
|
|
| I don't think that kind of
cash was necessary for those two. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: B Christoff |
|
|
| Texas gets: D Johnson, J Kershner, J Hankin |
|
|
| A fair deal both ways, Tucson
using their wealth to get another big time guy, though Christoff has no
history of such. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: F Holderbaum, T Rowde, S
Bozark |
|
|
| No huge losses here. |
|
|
| April 28, 2010
Update |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
signs: G Flynn |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain cuts: J Spinks |
|
|
| And Spinks didn't have that
bad a scrimmage, but he's a spare part on a team that doesn't need a backup
OS. |
|
|
| Venice
signs: R Herrera |
|
|
| Fills a bit of a need as a
backup, but if Venice expects him to log significant minutes they may have
issues. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: D Carr |
|
|
| Carr's the type of guy Lysoby
has always liked, in that he can do a few things, even if none of them all
that great anymore. |
|
|
| Detroit
gets: F Miles, LA E2 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: J Wile, J Cornell |
|
|
| The Gladiators organization
never likes overpaying guys they didn't develop. It was only a matter of time that the
acquired Cornell would be shipped off for something. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: F Doctor, C Anthony |
|
|
| Camp bench; that's probably
all. |
|
|
| Tucson
gets: $500K |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: D Kinsey, D Windgate |
|
|
| The Vengeance want to still be
competitive even if they don't think they have a Cup team, and these guys
help the depth a bit. |
|
|
| Washington
cuts: R Reynolds, K Thurston, B Rozier |
|
|
| They've got an interesting
team, and these guys weren't in their plans. |
|
|
| April 19, 2010
Update |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: D Carr |
|
|
| Carr's going to find a job
somewhere, but his time in LA was up. |
|
|
| Tucson
cuts: S Young, W Harwood, G Flynn, R
Herrera, J Windsor, R Morton, G Davis, T Braff |
|
|
| Is this finally the day Will
Harwood hangs up his rarely-used (after camp, that is) cleats? |
|
|
| Omaha
gets: D Sheets |
|
|
| Tucson gets: 2011 E5, $75K |
|
|
| Omaha needs depth, but they
should've waited until other teams cut guys better than Sheets. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: J Ruffin, A Adama |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: F Miles, J Shields |
|
|
| That makes things a bit more
interesting. I mean, Washington didn't
have any RBs, so, ya know… |
|
|
| Washington
gets: J Kristen, M Fly, A Meshekow, R
Jenkins |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: D Greywacz, J Baez, K Graham, M Kenton |
|
|
| The Rush just rebuilt without
rebuilding. That's an impressive job
in such a ridiculos division, though the Rush still have work to do. |
|
|
| April 16, 2010
Update |
|
|
| Texas
gets: VAN E4, E5 |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: R Tanner |
|
|
| The Rush wanted a third QB…I
think a waiver wire pickup may have been just as good. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: E2 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: J Wensely |
|
|
| That's a gross overpay for a
guy that's a backup. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: C Blair, A Fernandez |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: J Guzman, A Adama |
|
|
| And teams are just going to
let KC get out of their financial problems. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: R Myatt |
|
|
| Detroit gets: $15K |
|
|
| Well, they at least didn't
give up much for him… |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: M Otis, $3M |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: P Govan |
|
|
| Otis was expendable now that
they got that Mo Wallace guy, and Govan fills a need. Might have been an overpay, though. |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: R Brownings, G Cooper, J
Kristen, R Johns, D Delaney, B Greenwald, J Guzman |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: T Knight, B Rayburn, 2011 MIA E3, $620K for
NTC |
|
|
| I'm not sure the thought of
this trade. STL is trying to rebuild
without rebuilding? Kansas City is now
the clear favorite again in the Central. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: T Babthorpe |
|
|
| St. Louis signs: C Brantley, R Perreault, J Salko, D
Thompson |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain signs: R Curry, N Fronczak |
|
|
| Venice signs: T Clark |
|
|
| Camp Time
Transactions (trades will be processed if both teams' camps are done) |
|
|
| North Dakota
cuts: Fronczak, Curry, Weber,
Babthorpe |
|
|
| Not a whole lot to worry about
here. |
|
|
| New England
cuts: R Thompson |
|
|
| Long-time Sno-Dog, but no
longer really useful. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: $60K |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: M Lee, R May, C Walby |
|
|
| The fact these guys are
probably going to help Baltimore a little doesn't say a lot for Baltimore. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: M Wallace, S Garz |
|
|
| Omaha gets: J McKennon, M Garbinsky, M Farris |
|
|
| Hi folks, this is a
blockbuster. |
|
|
| Pre-Moratorium
Update |
|
|
| Wisconsin signs: |
|
|
| C Brinkerhoff |
|
|
| J O'Keller |
|
|
| U Albright |
|
|
| These guys will help what is
still a pretty ugly bench. |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: T Laster, R Shore |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $75K |
|
|
| A good way to parlay some
FAFFA excess. |
|
|
| March 6, 2010 Update |
|
|
| Tucson gets: M Bell |
|
|
| Spokane gets: M Lansdale |
|
|
| What better player to teach
the young DS the real ropes on what to do than one of the best that's ever
done it? |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: L Terry |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $75K |
|
|
| It's a pure salary dump, but
the Tigers move that much closer to solvency.
Los Angeles gets a guy who will help them in return. |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: D Pollock, $200K |
|
|
| Venice gets: 2011 TUC E2, D Macgruder |
|
|
| Not a huge deal, but could be
good. |
|
|
| March 4, 2010 Update |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: E5-5 |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: $1,000 |
|
|
| We're not talking big bucks
here. |
|
|
| Evansville cuts: B Arledge, G Drum |
|
|
| How can Ben not be sure that
the presense of Sarah's boss on his roster wasn't what actually got him over
the top? |
|
|
| March 3, 2010 Update |
|
|
| London cuts: F Jordan |
|
|
| It's a good sign that these
teams can legitimately cut the 'original expansion draft' guys. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi cuts: D Shumate |
|
|
| He didn't last real long. |
|
|
| March 2, 2010 Update |
|
|
| Tucson gets: D Johnson, E4-9, 20, 23; E5-4, 11, 19 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: J Huff, R Warrick, $250K - 1M if any of
those six picks is a sleeper |
|
|
| There's a worrying point for
Tucson fans in that we're not sure if a sleeper will be as good as Huff is. |
|
|
| Cincinnati gets: $300K |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E4-14, E5-14 |
|
|
| Cincy had a pretty fair draft
anyways; they just wanted some cash and stop bothering. |
|
|
| February 26, 2010 Update |
|
|
| London cuts: J Kilgallen, J Duffy, B Downing |
|
|
| Players that have no real use
in London anymore. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley cuts: A Granger, R Williams, J Kramer |
|
|
| They're financially painful
cuts, but they were necessary. |
|
|
| February 23, 2010 Update |
|
|
| Corpus Christi cuts: WRDB Gordan |
|
|
| Sleeper shot gone awry. |
|
|
| Vancouver Island cuts: W Pless, A McDougal |
|
|
| They needed to go. |
|
|
| North Dakota cuts: N Basten, C Bryant, R Jackson, L Bright, J
Johnson, D Jennings, A Adama |
|
|
| I don't see any bad cuts here,
either. |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: 2011 SPO E4 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: S Nyer |
|
|
| Not bad |
|
|
| February 22, 2010 Update |
|
|
| Eugene cuts: S Johnson |
|
|
| Is this the end of the line
for a long-time starting pivot? |
|
|
| London gets: E3-5 |
|
|
| Omaha gets: $400K |
|
|
| Xplosion want a little more
cash cushion. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: D2-23 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: D2-33, $150K |
|
|
| Tigers feel they'll get who
they want 10 picks later. So far,
they've been right. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E3-4,12,28; E4-4,18,19,22; E5-15,17,25 |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: J Thiel |
|
|
| This is obviously a sleeper
shot. Minneapolis, basically, just got
their sleeper. |
|
|
| February 21, 2010 Update |
|
|
| Eugene gets: G Tiebach, J Gunn, $50K |
|
|
| London gets: F Poley, D Hunt, E3-18 |
|
|
| Gunn's not really a need since
Owens is hardly old, but it's a decent deal for Eugene regardless. |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: D2-15, D2-20, D2-24 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $500K |
|
|
| Kansas City trying to
liquidate a bit here; Rush trying to find that last piece or two. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: D2-11 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $1M |
|
|
| See above. |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: $1.5M, H Adcock |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E3-11, 17, 25; E4-10, 13; E5-22 |
|
|
| Hard to believe the Rattlers
are trading for cash, but welcome to the OIFL! |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: C Davis, J Benton |
|
|
| Not much here. |
|
|
| February 18, 2010 Update |
|
|
| Omaha cuts: P Gill |
|
|
| Gill is beyond whatever prime
he had. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi cuts: B Rosa, R Smith |
|
|
| They were once guys the Storm
thought were going to be big time players for the team. Didn't happen. |
|
|
| San Diego gets: J Avery, $750K |
|
|
| Spokane gets: E3-30 |
|
|
| If this isn't a salary dump,
such a concept doesn't exist. |
|
|
| Minneapolis cuts: R Rinehardt, A Walker |
|
|
| Well, the players picked up in
that first draft were scrubs, and they're being treated as such. |
|
|
| Evansville gets: D2-5 |
|
|
| Eugene gets: E4-21 |
|
|
| Evansville wanted Huaman, and
they guaranteed they got him here. |
|
|
| London gets: E2-19, C Macrides |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: E3-3, E4-18, E5-3, $350K |
|
|
| Macrides will add to London's
ever-growing roster. |
|
|
| London cuts: J Kelly, T Becker |
|
|
| Kelly has a boatload of
experience, but the tires are also showing thread. |
|
|
| February 16, 2010 Update |
|
|
| Long Island cuts: K Bazziel |
|
|
| Bazziel is a long-time on
again off again Mean Machine member, but it's probably really time to go. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain cuts: L Wilson, K von Stieger |
|
|
| Backup kickers are a dime a
dozen. |
|
|
| Minneapolis cuts: M O'Donnell, W Harwood, B Scott |
|
|
| O'Donnell surprises me a bit,
but they don't need a bunch of old backup pivots. |
|
|
| London gets: R Williams, T Hatherly |
|
|
| Detroit gets: D1-33, $100K, E3-29 |
|
|
| It's always tough to finally
decide to move on a bit, but Detroit is doing that with some guys. |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: S Ross |
|
|
| Detroit gets: 2011 E2, $100K |
|
|
| Ross was the guy kinda groomed
to replace Alexander, but since Alexander doesn't appear to ever get old, he
became very expendable. |
|
|
| Eugene gets: C Rastafari |
|
|
| Spokane gets: T Clardy |
|
|
| Eugene's getting better by the
day, and they're quickly becoming a legitimately good team. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: D2-33,35,37 |
|
|
| London gets: $400K (payable in two installments) |
|
|
| London must be happy with
their team. |
|
|
| Eugene gets: D Madray |
|
|
| Detroit gets: 2011 E1, J Wile, Z Starks, $750K |
|
|
| And Eugene has no intention
for that E1 to be a high pick, either.
Wow. |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: K Smith |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: $50K |
|
|
| This is a salary dump! Smith, though, helps minny for the price. |
|
|
| February 15, 2010 Update |
|
|
| D.C. gets: T Couloumbe, $25K |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: A Satterfield |
|
|
| Not a big-time deal. |
|
|
| February 14, 2010 Update |
|
|
| Why yes, I am romantic. Why do you ask? |
|
|
| London cuts: D Stephens |
|
|
| North Dakota retains rights
to: D Stephens |
|
|
| Stephens had a fully
guaranteed contract. London picked him
up in the expansion draft and has decided to remove him, rendering North
Dakota liable for his contract.
Instead of ND |
|
|
| just paying $960K and telling
him to go away, the Nighthawks decided instead to retain his rights, which
I've allowed. |
|
|
| Spokane gets: E2-7 (EUG) |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: D2-15 (SPO), $400K (EUG) |
|
|
| Eugene gets: W Marck |
|
|
| Eugene wasn't bashful about
chucking it all over without any big time receivers. They now have one. This could be fun. |
|
|
| February 13, 2010 Update |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: D2-11 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: A LaPetri |
|
|
| The Tigers were giving up far
more for picks in this range, but LaPetri brings Balto much-needed
leadership. |
|
|
| Spokane gets: $1M, D Meyers |
|
|
| Eugene gets: D1-15 |
|
|
| Maybe a bit of an overpay, but
Eugene has the coin. |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: D2-14, J Leod |
|
|
| D.C. gets: T Doxen |
|
|
| D.C. needed a big time
receiver that was also effective in the run game. Today, they may have the best the OIFL has
ever seen. |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: D2-34, 36, 38, 40 |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets; K Mintz, R Cabreda, J Elam |
|
|
| Are they young? No.
Do they give the Mustangs a true shot at the playoffs? Yes. |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: 2011 MIA E4, $250K |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: D Martin |
|
|
| An interesting trade, as most
are. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: A Hicks, J Zagadaneca, 2011 MIA E4 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: D2-20, D2-28, C Blair |
|
|
| The liquidation continues. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: 2011 MIN E3 |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: $100K, S Hunter-Little |
|
|
| And Minneapolis gets a
starting OS, anyways. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: D1-26, D2-26 |
|
|
| London gets: D1-20, H McCoy |
|
|
| McCoy's still a capable
starting DS, and the D pick is a good one, too. |
|
|
| Portland gets: E2-12, E3-22, E4-17, $500K |
|
|
| Texas gets: D1-21 |
|
|
| Portland is going to get some
depth, which they most certainly need. |
|
|
| Eugene gets: D Feist |
|
|
| Venice gets: 2011 EUG E2, $2M |
|
|
| Feist is a pretty good player,
though a bit pricey, but he'll do well for Eugene. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: V Simecka, E4-15 |
|
|
| Spokane gets: E1-22, E1-24 |
|
|
| Simecka's a big time player
that has no idea what stability is, just what a team like Detroit needs. |
|
|
| Long Island gets: E5-4 |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: A Moore |
|
|
| At first glance, this smells
like a salary dump - but Moore is really little more than a backup anymore,
and he's not a cheap one. So sure,
it's a dump, but it makes sense both ways. |
|
|
| February 11, 2010 Update |
|
|
| London gets: D1-13, D1-26, E2-9, E2-11, 2011 VAN E1 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: 2011 LON E1, $1M at year end 2010 |
|
|
| Interesting trade. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: D2-3 |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: $250K, K St. Pierre |
|
|
| A good pickup, though an
expensive player, for the Mustangs. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: D2-8 |
|
|
| San Diego gets: C Kettlewell |
|
|
| The Sailors know they need a
DS, and Kettlewell is probably better than one they'd get with the D2-8. |
|
|
| San Diego gets: E Spadafore |
|
|
| D.C. gets: E2-10, $2M |
|
|
| Spadafore has some talent, but
he will need a bit of work from the Sailors to realize all of it. |
|
|
| Spokane gets: E1-9 |
|
|
| San Diego gets: D Vickers, A Sandler, $400K |
|
|
| Okay, now the Sailors may have
gone too far the other way with DS.
Sandler's still a big time player, though, even if he's lost a few
steps. |
|
|
| Long Island gets: M Giguere, E4-23, E5-19 |
|
|
| Texas gets: 2011 TUC E4, E5, $50K |
|
|
| This is not what you'd call a
"blockbuster." |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: E Calderon, D Butts, D2-28, 2011 DET E2 |
|
|
| Detroit gets: W Bazile, E1-28 |
|
|
| Bazile's still a big time
player, but the Phantoms just didn't want to spend his salary on just one guy
in 2010. |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: D McCallister, A Johnson |
|
|
| D.C. gets: W Yetzer, $100K |
|
|
| McCallister goes to one of his
original franchises. |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: $150K |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: T Bray |
|
|
| Bray will be a good depth
piece in Baltimore. |
|
|
| D.C. gets: M Giguere, 2011 LI E2 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: J Tate, E5-11 |
|
|
| Tate's a headcase, but he's
got all kinds of talent. DC just
doesn't have a need for a malcontent on the bench. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E2-4, R Marshall |
|
|
| London gets: B Pennington, J Gunn |
|
|
| This is a blockbuster. Pennington will probably be given free
reign to bring back his air raid offense from his Mobile days, and he's got
an undermanned team with which to show |
|
|
| his stuff once more. And, he gets to develop his successor. Tucson also gets Lang's successor in the
deal. London's instantly got a shot. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: B Long |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: E1-16 |
|
|
| Long's not a starter anymore,
but he's still an incredibly capable back that can bring it…and if he needs
to start a few games, he will probably figure that out, too. |
|
|
| Washington gets: D1-19, D Badnell, $50K |
|
|
| Venice gets: E1-17, E3-26 |
|
|
| Good deal on both ends. |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: E3-12, J Lyons, M White |
|
|
| Washington gets: E2-29 |
|
|
| Backups for backups. |
|
|
| Texas gets: D1-22 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: D Schlosser, G Jones |
|
|
| Texas wants to shed some
payroll while DC wants upgrades. Here
we go. |
|
|
| February 8, 2010 Update |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: 2011 E2 |
|
|
| London gets: L Jackson |
|
|
| A pretty good price for
Jackson, who has done it all in his short career. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: B Pennington, E3-23 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: D2-10, D2-21, 2011 TUC E4, E5, 2011 SPO E5,
$750K |
|
|
| I see no way this ends badly… |
|
|
| Texas gets: E4-23 |
|
|
| London gets: D Ellis |
|
|
| Interesting deal. |
|
|
| February 6, 2010 Update |
|
|
| Omaha gets: E1-15 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: E3-23, E4-20, 2011 STL E1, $2.75M |
|
|
| A large overpay for the E1-15. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: T Meyers |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: D1-20, D2-20, K Cruise, K Smith, $3M |
|
|
| Certainly the Phantoms didn't
want to give up Meyers, but the haul they received will make it worthwhile
down the road. |
|
|
| Portland gets: J Linzeth |
|
|
| Tucson gets: $500K, D2-21 |
|
|
| Linzeth will be a good depth
piece for the Pioneers. |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: D1-13, E2-8 |
|
|
| Fort Dodge gets: $3M |
|
|
| And the financial problems are
largely going away. |
|
|
| February 5, 2010 Update |
|
|
| Long Island gets: E2-20, D2-19, $1M |
|
|
| Venice gets: E1-25 |
|
|
| Venice wants to move on up in
the entry draft, and they'll give Long Island a little cash and salary relief
to do it. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: E1-4 |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: E1-11, E1-21 |
|
|
| Charlie's looking to get a
number of players that can contribute, and the Storm see someone they really
like. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: T Grayson, A Burkett |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: J Lofton |
|
|
| Lofton has a strange skill
set, but the Reign have had success with guys with strange skill sets. |
|
|
| Washington gets: P Ellis, J Shields, M Kenton |
|
|
| Tucson gets: M Horowitz |
|
|
| Washington still trying to
build up the entire depth chart and roster; Tucson trying to maintain
title-type form. |
|
|
| Post-OIFLCup Game transactions |
|
|
|
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: L Byers |
|
|
| Let's try a new format here a
little bit. Save some trees. Marauders need cash, Reign need
players. Easy call here. |
|
|
| Portland gets: A Morrow |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: R Marshall |
|
|
| Not really sure why the
Pioneers traded their long-time pivot in the first place. But I only run this league…I married a
therapist, I am not one. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: D Flanders, K
Thime, D1-28 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: E1-25, D1-22, $1.5M |
|
|
| Detroit has some clout to
throw around to get better, and Flanders will help shore up some concerns. Of course, for the first time since Dennis
has been in the OIFL, kicker |
|
|
| is not a problem. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: C Scott |
|
|
| Spokane gets: E3-16, E4-15 |
|
|
| Though Scott made his big time
with this franchise when they were in Las Vegas, it's clear management wants
their own to retire with them. |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: D1 & D2 |
|
|
| Tucson gets: L Zimmerman |
|
|
| Kansas City is desperately
trying to stay relevant while slashing payroll. This isn't a bad start. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: D1 & D2 |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: D Walters |
|
|
| Walters is a good player that
became a scapegoat for Tucson's failures.
So both sides do OK here. |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: 2011 STL E1, F Hightower |
|
|
| Long Island gets: D Jackson |
|
|
| I assume this means Pennington
is on his way out. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: D1-3 |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: J Loria, E1-21, E2-5, E4-19, E5-17, $3.5M |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets a really nice
start with rookies to their inaugural second OIFL campaign. And they get an old friend back for it,
too. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: E1-16, $2.5M |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: P Schroeder, L O'Neil |
|
|
| It's tough for the Phantoms to
lose guys like these, but this isn't a bad trade for them to take. |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: P Lambert |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: E Kalp, D1, D2, $500K |
|
|
| Tigers trying to retool a
roster while staying competitive and fiscally responsible, and it's starting
to look like they could actually do it. |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: E1-3, E2-3 |
|
|
| London gets: D2-26, E4-18, R Marshall, A Caspersen |
|
|
| I'm not usually a fan of teams
giving up high E1s unless it's a killer deal, but this isn't bad. Two positions are solidified immediately
with starters, and you never know |
|
|
| what you'll get in an OIFL
draft late. |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: J Stalker, D1-25, E2-17, $250K |
|
|
| Texas gets: E Kalp |
|
|
| The retooling continues. |
|
|
| D.C. gets: D1-22, P Dozer |
|
|
| Long Island gets: D1-14, E1-15, E4-9 |
|
|
| Dozer's getting close to the
tail end of his career, but the two-back set DC uses with Anderson and
Dozer's going to be one of the league's best in 2010. |
|
|
| Portland gets: E1-5, P Welker |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: G Clarke |
|
|
| Clarke kinda acted like he
didn't want to be in Portland anymore, and now…he's not. |
|
|
| Fort Dodge gets: R Odolfo, B Ungar, $500K |
|
|
| Spokane gets: E1-14 |
|
|
| The Eagles must have someone
they're really looking at with the mid-E1 pick there. |
|
|
| Fort Dodge gets: $1M |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: J Thompson |
|
|
| Roughriders doing their best
to get out of debt, and they're very close at this point. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: E1-21 |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: E4-8, E5-15, S Duncan |
|
|
| Minneapolis is aiming to get a
team that's good for 2010, not 2011 and beyond. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: D1-10 |
|
|
| Tucson gets: E1-1 |
|
|
| Says a lot about the entry
draft, doesn't it? |
|
|
| Omaha gets: STL 2011 E1 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $2.5M, D2-1 |
|
|
| And how does this help an
Omaha team that really needs help in 2010? |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: E2-17 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: $550K |
|
|
| Decent trade here. |
|
|
| London gets: $2M, P Reynolds |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: D1-4 (M Otis) |
|
|
| Otis is certainly a guy who
has had incredible games for a team that didn't have much going for it. But, he's probably not the type of player
best suited for an expansion team. |
|
|
| Otis will play a lot of OS for
the Predators while Reynolds logs in as London's starting RBLB right away. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: M Phillips, D2-28 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: J Carper |
|
|
| I guess Detroit thought well
enough of the Manny Phillips "experiment" to try it again. |
|
|
| Week 13 Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: |
|
|
| C Higgins |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| C Bryant |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| T Holmes |
|
|
| $1M |
|
|
| Holmes will be a good guy for
the Tigers next year when they're smacked by financial pressures. Buffalo wants to win now. |
|
|
| Connecticut
cuts: |
|
|
| H Biggs |
|

|
|
| J Weiss |
|
|
| A Carter |
|
|
| T Guest |
|
|
| R Rinehardt |
|
|
| They had more cuts, but three
guys got real live offers from other teams, so there we go. |
|
|
| Texas gets: |
|
|
| D Schlosser |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| A Fernandez |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| K Bynes |
|
|
| R Andrews |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| Y Bamiyi |
|
|
| R Johnson |
|
|
| M Hines |
|
|
| The Squirrels continue to
improve top to bottom. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
gets: |
|
|
| L Wilson |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| $1 |
|
|
| Wilson went for a buck. That beats a cut penalty. |
|
|
| Spokane gets: |
|
|
| S Stewart |
|
|
| A Stiles |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| $75K |
|
|
| Little Al gets one more shot
to play with a good team. Not that
he'll play much. |
|
|
| Texas gets: |
|
|
| T Jefferson |
|
|
| D Ellis |
|
|
| M Giguere |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| T Castle |
|
|
| D Stubblefield |
|
|
| M Percival |
|
|
| $100K |
|
|
| Jefferson and Ellis were very
tough to figure out whose offer was best.
But Castle's the best player I was offered for either player, so I had
to go with this one. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: |
|
|
| P Lambert |
|
|
| J Ruffin |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| A Meshekow |
|
|
| J Jason |
|
|
| T Holmes |
|
|
| 2011 E1 |
|
|
| Tigers didn't screw around
much here. This is probably the
toughest decision I've made yet with fire sales. Getting rid of Ruffin's salary put it over
the top. |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
gets: |
|
|
| O Vernon |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| M Pasqua |
|
|
| Vernon's a former Primetime
player, so they know the guy a bit.
Good move. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| M Kenton |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| RM E4, E5 |
|
|
| J Shields |
|
|
| A Demora |
|
|
| $300K |
|
|
| Kenton will help the back end
of Tucson's roster quite a bit. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: |
|
|
| D Morgan |
|
|
| F Holderbaum |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: |
|
|
| KC E3 |
|
|
| $2M |
|
|
| 2011 MIA E4 |
|
|
| 2011 VAN E4, E5 |
|
|
| It's clear the Rush needed
some cash and fast. This trade was
agreed to before the deadline, but medical issues prevented one owner from
sending in in time. It will be
approved. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: |
|
|
| S Craig |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: |
|
|
| J Mundane |
|
|
| $2M |
|
|
| Same issue - deal was approved
beforehand but medical issues forced a late submission. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| J Quinn |
|
|
| T Guest |
|
|
| They already have Quinn in
Joey Mundane, but I'll go with it. |
|
|
| Connecticut
cuts: |
|
|
| M Pasqua |
|
|
| S Turner |
|
|
| J Marcius |
|
|
| No losses here. |
|
|
| Week 12 Update |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: |
|
|
| C Logan |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| RM E4, E5 |
|
|
| Logan goes back to one of his
former homes. |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| K Leperton |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| A Cooper |
|
|
| This is just an accounting
move so to speak, getting guys to teams where their "skills" will
be better used. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: |
|
|
| A Meshekow |
|
|
| For when the shit hits the fan
in the bank account, presumably. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| C Soludo |
|
|
| M Baltzell |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| P Lambert |
|
|
| S Nyer |
|
|
| 2010 E1 |
|
|
| 2011 WAS E1 |
|
|
| Lambert's a big time player;
some would consider him better than Soludo, even. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: |
|
|
| S Craig |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| M Edminster |
|
|
| J Cade |
|
|
| H Boden |
|
|
| Boden is a long-time Breaker,
but it's not like that's a championship quality. |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| D Rowley |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| S Stewart |
|
|
| L Wilson |
|
|
| R Little |
|
|
| $1,000,000 |
|
|
| This is actually a fairly even
trade. |
|
|
| Texas gets: |
|
|
| M Bell |
|
|
| T Cadet |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| T Jefferson |
|
|
| J Kilgallen |
|
|
| J Cooper |
|
|
| 2010 E5 |
|
|
| $195K |
|
|
| Jefferson's a pretty solid
player, let it be known. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: |
|
|
| G Robinson |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| $275K |
|
|
| A Carter |
|
|
| Robinson isn't exactly a star,
let's be honest. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
gets: |
|
|
| D Sepulveda |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| R Andrews |
|
|
| $250K |
|
|
| Not sure trading Andrews away
really is that big a help, but Sepulveda is probably better. |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
gets: |
|
|
| J Pritchett |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| K Bynes |
|
|
| D Ellis |
|
|
| ND E3, E4 |
|
|
| $100K |
|
|
| Pritchett is a former
Lightning stalwart. Fort Dodge
desperately wants players like that, so they went and got one. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| M Samuels |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| M Kenton |
|
|
| F McNeil |
|
|
| O Vernon |
|
|
| Dennis is more than happy to
make a strong bid to get something he covets.
If Druckenmiller were in his prime, the Eastern Conference would have
just collectively shit itself. |
|
|
| Vancouver

|
| H Simpson |
|
|

|
| M Giguere |
|
|
| $500K |
|

disrupt what they have going, but Simpson's a good looking young guy they got
for cheap. |

| W Anderson |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| W Wilkes |
|

| R Zorn |

screwed around when making trades for upgrades. |

on that roster. |

|
|
| J Soames |
|
|

|
| S Harlan |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| K Lawhorne |
|
|

|
| Kansas City
gets: |
|
|
| R Cabreda |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| 2011 E2 |
|

months here. |

| J Zagadaneca |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| D Kozlowski |
|
|

biggest weakness. |

gets: |
|
|
| D Vuich |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| BAL E3 |

|
|
| 2011 MIA E2 |

| This is a strong offer
combined for the picks. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| KC and TEX E1 |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| $1M |
|
|
| You'd think Uhl was back, what
with someone in Detroit buying E1s. |
|
|
| D.C. gets: |
|

| J Tate |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| J Romano |
|
|
| J Fingers |
|
|

that can play football. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: |
|
|
| P Matos |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| SF and HOU E2 |

|
|
| B Pendergrass |
|
|
| L Higgins |
|
|
| S Bond |

|
|
| MIA E3 |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| $300K |

|

|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| J Cornell |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| S Nelson |
|
|
| 2010 E1 |
|
|
| Cornell's the type of receiver
the Gladiators have needed for years. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| H Adcock |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| K Leperton |
|
|
| $50K |
|
|
| Adcock gives Tucson another
"true" WRDB threat. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| C Logan |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| $50K |

|
|
| Buffalo isn't content with
what they got, it appears. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
gets: |
|
|
| P Welker |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| S Berensmeyer |
|
|
| $200K |
|
|
| I like it. |
|
|
| Spokane gets: |
|
|
| R Odolfo |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| A Cooper |
|
|
| This deal does cut salary, and
the only other offers were cash (not a need) and James Shields outta TUC. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: |
|
|
| J Porter |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| R Moesly |
|

offer elsewhere, anyways. |

| S Fox |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| C Berrenta |

|
|
| Not sure how Lofton's skill
set fits in in Tucson. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: |
|
|
| A Meshekow |
|
|
| Week 10 Update |
|
|
| The calm before the storm…at
the top of this week's updates, anyways. |
|
|
| Portland
signs: |
|
|
| S Stewart |
|
|
| They need a QB now. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
signs: |

|
|
| How does he keep getting work? |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: |
|
|
| 2010 E1 |
|
|
| T Meyers |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: |
|
|
| H Blessig |
|
|
| Blessig is the best player
here, but not by a huge margin, and the Phantoms will get another contributor
in next year's draft for it. |
|
|
| Week 9 Update |
|
|
| Remember, I'm
going to be throwing incentive payments in there for all teams this
week. So some teams will have a rather
large bill on their hands. |
|
|
| Spokane signs: |
|
|
| T Revedo |
|
|
| Depth is desperately needed in
Spokane now. |
|
|
| D.C. signs: |

|
| T Dean |
|
|

|
|
| D.C. cuts: |

|
|
| Not bad here. |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: |
|
|

exciting here. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| M Hines |
|
|
| Y Bamiyi |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: |
|
|
| R Andrews |
|
|
| When trading a kicker is the
biggest move of the week, it's a slow week. |
|
|
| Venice gets: |
|
|
| $700K |
|
|
| Spokane gets: |
|
|
| B Lintner |
|
|
| C Berrenta |
|
|
| No doubt, the Eagles are
beyond desperate for line depth. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: |
|
|
| 2011 E2 |
|
|
| I Varner |
|
|
| Venice gets: |
|
|
| D Pollock |
|
|
| Not a bad deal either way. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: |
|
|
| A Watts |
|
|
| Long Island cuts: |
|
|
| C O'Shea |
|
|

|
|
| A Mickles |
|
|
| North Dakota cuts: |
|
|

rosters. |
|
|
| Miami cuts: |
|
|
| B Lewis |
|
|
| B Downing |
|
|
| S Morrow |
|
|
| Okay, Morrow probably wasn't
necessary…but how does Perry Jennings stay on an OIFL roster. Trying to be like the Browns won't earn you
points with me this year, Mike. |
|
|
| Week 8 Update |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: |
|
|
| 2011 E4 |
|
|
| $150K |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: |
|
|
| J Hornbrook |
|
|
| The first of a number of
deals, I'm sure. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: |
|
|
| A Watts |
|
|
| Well, they have to have
someone to back up Ogden. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: |
|
|
| M Lee |
|
|
| Washington gets: |
|
|
| P Yee |
|
|
| 2011 E4, E5 |
|
|
| FD E5 |
|
|
| Good deal both ways. |
|
|
| Spokane sends
to North Dakota: |
|
|
| D McMasters |
|
|
| This finishes the Avery deal. |
|
|
| Portland
rescinds the Zach Degan trade. |
|
|
| D.C. gets: |
|
|
| J Fingers |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: |
|
|
| B Pendergrass |
|
|
| And he finds another
home. To play backup. Again. |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: |
|
|
| A Mizerak |
|
|
| Long Island gets: |
|
|
| 2011 E1 |
|
|
| K Bazziel |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| Now the Rush think "oh,
why'd we trade for Pendergrass, too?" |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: |
|
|
| A Morrow |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| C Cross |
|
|
| 2010 E2, E5 |
|
|
| Pioneers grew tired of
Morrow's continued failure in big moments.
He's strictly a backup in the great white north when Sauk gets back. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island signs: |
|
|
| J Mundane |
|
|
| Good backup. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: |
|
|
| CS E2 |
|
|
| 2011 HOU E3 |
|
|
| Washington gets: |
|
|
| J Baez |
|
|
| Interesting trade. Would think the Vengeance would be looking
to add talent. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: |
|
|
| $5M |
|
|
| 2011 E2, E3 |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: |
|
|
| W Krystle |
|
|
| This will end the league's
involvement with the Warlords franchise, though I'll be working with Harvey
to get some other salary considerations worked on. |
|
|
| New Orleans
gets: |
|
|
| J Groves |
|
|
| Wisconsin gets: |
|
|
| $3M |
|
|
| Okay, I lied. Couldn't turn down more cash for a guy that
won't be in Wisconsin when they get better anyways. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: |
|
|
| W Tyler |
|
|
| T Revedo |
|
|
| D McCallister |
|

| M Jenks |
|
|
| J Eliot |
|
|
| D Mays |
|
|
| F Jordan |
|

|
| R Herbert |
|
|
| K Ammen |
|
|
| G Jamison |
|
|
| J George |
|
|
| D Tackett |
|
|
| D Hicks |
|
|
| C Thompson |
|
|
| W Ziemba |
|
|
| And with all this, you can't
actually make an argument the Warlords are worse. Especially with the tax payment they're
going to get this offseason. |
|
|
| Week 7 Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: |
|
|
| J Stocco |
|
|
| $1M |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| O Vernon |
|
|
| Two teams that had a glut
somewhere and a need elsewhere. Works
well. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: |
|
|
| WAS E2 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| A Smith |
|
|
| Kansas City still needs to
pare payroll. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: |
|
|
| L Terry |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| 2011 E3, E4 |
|
|
| The Xplosion plan to parlay
those into 2010 picks down the line. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: |
|
|
| P Schroeder |
|
|
| 2011 E2 |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| R Gardner |
|
|
| B Lewis |
|
|
| J Burnett |
|
|
| 2010 E1 |
|
|
| The 2010 E1 is the key piece
here. Unless you're nuts enough to
think B.J. Lewis is useful. |
|
|
| Texas signs: |
|
|
| G Hoffert |
|
|
| Yeah, this was necessary. |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: |
|
|
| B Kinsley |
|
|
| R Nickoson |
|
|
| Breakers are improving, and
these guys just didn't help much. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| D Schlosser |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| 2010 E2 |
|
|
| Sure, Schlosser helps, but
he'll be aging by the time Omaha's good again. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| M Kenton |
|
|
| R Williams |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| R Meadows |
|
|
| Y Blumenthal |
|
|
| R Gentili |
|
|
| 2010 E2, E5 |
|
|
| Detroit is playing for 2009,
Omaha is not. Good deal both ways. |
|
|
| Washington
signs: |
|
|
| R Reynolds |
|
|
| He should've been on a team,
so this makes sense. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: |
|
|
| R Gandee |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| E2 |
|
|
| Good deal both ways. Baltimore sees an opportunity for 2009, so
this makes sense to try. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: |
|
|
| 2011 KC E3, E4 |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| 2010 E3, E4 |
|
|
| The Vengeance must be banking
on KC's financial woes getting the best of them for 2010. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: |
|
|
| WAS E2 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| $2M |
|
|
| Not sure why Bill decided it
was worth it to pay quadruple the value for a pick he just traded equal value
for to Omaha. |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: |
|
|
| H Wyandt |
|
|
| R Gibson |
|
|
| $2.5M |
|
|
| Fort Dodge gets: |
|
|
| G Briggs |
|
|
| W Hill |
|
|
| 2011 E2 |
|
|
| Fort Dodge has no real
financial issues, and so they're poised to take advantage when others do. |
|
|
| Week 6 Update |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| D DeLap |
|
|
| R Ashworth |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: |
|
|
| H Morrison |
|
|
| This deal probably will work
well both ways. |
|
|
| Eugene gets: |
|
|
| C Osbourne |
|
|
| H LaCrosswell |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| S Fox |
|
|
| B Lane |
|
|
| I was waiting for this trade
to happen. Figured as soon as Lane
went to Eugene that he'd end up in Portland, like Boddy. But it's not a bad trade at all. LaCrosswell is good. |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| R Cabreda |
|
|
| D.C. gets: |
|
|
| $1M |
|
|
| Fair deal. |
|
|
| Houston cuts: |
|
|
| S Ratliffe |
|
|
| They've an aversion to a
roster over 20 players. |
|
|
| Texas gets: |
|
|
| A Fernandez |
|
|
| B Christoff |
|
|
| PHI E2 |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| S Bollings |
|
|
| Garrie usually gets what he
wants, but I think he gave up more for Jetta Shanklin. |
|
|
| Texas gets: |
|
|
| P Rose |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| E1, E2 |
|
|
| M Trask |
|
|
| E Cramer |
|
|
| It can be said that the
Cresleys need to rebuild a bit seeing how they're 1-4, but some experts will
argue that Cramer and Trask are better than Rose by themselves. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| T Kiwi |
|
|
| Wisconsin gets: |
|
|
| E2 |
|
|
| Defensive specialists are
traditionally undervalued, and it's not like Kiwi was helping the Warlords
win. They had to start rebuilding for
the future, and this is not a bad move. |
|
|
| OIFL Week 5
Update |
|
|
| Arkansas cuts: |
|
|

|
|
| Eugene gets: |
|
|
| Z Starks |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| A Fox |
|
|
| This is a pretty good deal for
Eugene here. |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| D Jackson |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: |
|
|
| 2011 E3, E4 |
|
|
| An overpay from Miami, but
they get talent in a couple weeks rather than a couple years. |
|
|
| San Diego
gets: |
|
|
| COMP E3 |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: |
|
|
| D James |
|
|
| I'm not sure QB is a need for
the Nighthawks. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: |
|
|
| W Atkinson |
|
|
| A Larsen |
|
|
| Washington gets: |

|
| B Scott |
|
|
| S Turner |
|
|
| RM E1, E2 |
|
|
| TB E2, E3 |

| LI E2, E3, E5 |
|
|
| MIA E4, E5 |
|
|
| SPO E5 |
|
|
| I don't like giving up
potential big time rookies, but you can't argue with the return the
Nighthawks got. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| J Shields |
|
|
| P Bucar |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| $1M |
|
|
| The reasons for this trade are
obvious. |
|
|
| North Dakota
cuts: |
|
|
| J Smith |
|
|
| R Little |
|
|
| Old guys that could see
another shot somewhere. |

| OIFL Week 4
Update |
|
|
| Oh, here we go. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: |
|
|
| K Cellar |
|
|
| VEN & TB E4 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: |
|
|
| D Centerfield |
|
|
| Cole's last trade doesn't
exactly incite hope for the future. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: |
|
|
| E Smith |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| T Olivares |
|
|
| 2011 E5 |
|
|
| This one works well both ways. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: |
|
|
| $750K |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| B Blix |
|
|
| Someone realized he needed to
get some cash now, it appears. |
|
|
| Miami cuts: |
|
|
| S Butz |
|
|
| Okay, then. |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| K Stanford |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| M Lee |
|
|
| L Babaganoosh |
|
|
| 2010, E1, E2, E4, E5 |
|
|
| 2011 E2, E3 |
|
|
| 2011 POR E3 |
|
|
| $1.65M |
|
|
| Houston's playing for keeps. |
|
|
| College
Station gets: |
|
|
| J Wensely |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| Yep, Tigers trying to get some
cash. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: |
|
|
| J Jason |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: |
|
|
| J Nunez |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| D Pollock |
|
|
| Long Island E1 |
|
|
| Vengeance get another rock on
their line. |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: |
|
|
| L Peterson |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| C Vedell |
|
|
| E1, E2 |
|
|
| CS E2 |
|
|
| San Fran also appears to be
playing for keeps. |
|
|
| Houston cuts: |
|
|
| P Tucker |
|
|
| M Benjamin |
|
|
| T Williams |
|
|
| D Hicks |
|
|
| W Harwood |
|
|
| Ooo, now you know it must be
serious in Houston. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: |
|
|
| S Butz |
|
|
| One man's junk, I guess. |
|
|
| OIFL Week 3
Update |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: |
|
|
| C Logan |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| STL E3 |
|
|
| Probably a fair trade. Logan gives the Phantoms some flexibility
and some well-needed veteran leadership - he's been to the top. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
cuts: |
|
|
| M Hartman |
|
|
| Hartman goes to make way for
Logan. |
|
|
| St. Louis
gets: |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| P Woods |
|
|
| It's a salary dump, plain and
simple. |
|
|
| Spokane gets: |
|
|
| C Rastafari |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: |
|
|
| O Rogers |
|
|
| I'm not sure where this helps
Spokane. |
|
|
| D.C. gets: |
|
|
| $750K |
|
|
| E4 |
|
|
| A Johnson |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: |
|
|
| C Kettlewell |
|
|
| Johnson's a trainable player
(though it'll be limited a little by rules changes forthcoming), but Tampa
probably does better here. |
|
|
| D.C. gets: |
|
|
| C Davis |
|
|
| E4 |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: |
|
|
| T Becker |
|
|
| For a player slower than my
mother, Becker seems to be mighty popular. |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| Z Degan |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: |
|
|
| R Little |
|
|
| R Ghiraldi |
|
|
| 2010 E4, E5 |
|
|
| 2011 E1 |
|
|
| Considering the circumstances,
I can understand why this trade was offered by CAL in the first place, but
that doesn't mean I like it. Best of
luck with your battle, Jamal. |
|
|
| Spokane gets: |
|
|
| J Avery |
|
|
| A Cooper |
|
|
| L Higgins |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: |
|
|
| J Rodriquez |
|
|
| S Stewart |
|
|
| D Jennings |
|
|
| R Gardner |
|
|
| D Stephens |
|
|
| D Schoeppner |
|
|
| Another very peculiar deal,
but at least this can be explained as an Avery salary dump. |
|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: |
|
|
| K Hopkins |
|
|
| M Djordjevic |
|
|
| S Walters |
|
|
| North Dakota gets: |
|
|
| R Cabell |
|
|
| G Krass |
|
|
| D McElroy |
|
|
| 2010 E3, E4 |
|
|
| Cedar Valley might have
overpaid for some expensive players here; the new ownership will enjoy some
younger guys, I'm sure. |
|
|
| OIFL Week 2
Update |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| C Stahl |
|
|
| B Billington |
|
|
| Baltimore cuts: |
|
|
| T Hillman |
|
|
| Baltimore is now at 28
players, but they still will be looking to upgrade whenever possible. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
signs: |
|
|
| R Brindle |
|
|
| Training camp superstar…for
now. |
|
|
| Texas signs: |
|
|
| F Endsley |
|
|
| M Percival |
|
|
| Texas cuts: |
|
|
| J Mundane |
|
|
| Though they could wait a week,
what's the point? |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: |
|
|
| A Carter |
|
|
| Long-time vet will give some
good presence for the Tigers. But
probably not a lot of good football. |
|
|
| North Dakota
signs: |
|
|
| J Smith |
|
|
| Obvious pickup here for the
Bulls. |
|
|
| Houston signs: |
|
|
| D Sheets |
|
|
| They've always liked having a
couple situational linemen both ways. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| E Cohen |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: |
|
|
| M Giguere |
|
|
| I'm not seeing what this deal
does for both teams, but what do I know? |
|
|
| D.C. signs: |
|
|
| A Anzune |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: |
|
|
| D Seve |
|
|
| Wow, what a wasted trade there
(Seve) |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| S Warren |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: |
|
|
| C Rastafari |
|
|
| 2011 E1 |
|
|
| Warren goes back to the
division he's most familiar with, but you have to think Houston well overpaid
for him. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: |
|
|
| T Doxen |
|
|
| Long Island gets: |
|
|
| A Mizerak |
|
|
| J Cornell |
|
|
| Long Island was worried about
Manny Phillips starting for seven weeks, and so voila - no more starting QB
problem. Doxen's very familiar with
some of his new/old teammates. |
|
|
| Arkansas
signs: |
|
|
| S Farson |
|
|
| Hoffert is in danger of being
cut when he is healthy. |
|
|
| OIFL WEEK ONE
(!!!!) Update |
|
|
| Tucson signs: |
|
|
| N Basten |
|
|
| D Williams |
|
|
| Tucson cuts: |
|
|
| T Jackson |
|
|
| Just a little shuffling - please note this won't take effect until after Sunday - these
moves were done in the thought that Tucson's already played Week 1. |
|
|
| Portland
signs: |
|
|
| P Stephenson |
|
|
| Not a surprise he got a job so
quickly. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| B Kinsley |
|
|
| R Nickoson |
|
|
| The restructuring of the
Breakers' roster continues. |
|
|
| Detroit cuts: |
|
|
| C Stahl |
|
|
| B Billington |
|
|
| D Moretta |
|
|
| R Reynolds |
|
|
| Reynolds mildly surprises me,
but these were generally academic. |
|
|
| San Diego
cuts: |
|
|
| J Stanfield |
|
|
| C Lovett |
|
|
| S Bartter |
|
|
| D Kramer |
|
|
| J Lindsay |
|
|
| D Walsh |
|
|
| Z Lalty |
|
|
| Surprisingly, there were a lot
of people on this list that OIFL fans have heard of. Probably. |
|
|
| Connecticut
cuts: |
|
|
| R Brindle |
|
|
| E Sloan |
|
|
| Brindle could still get a job
as a "training camp superstar," but htat's about it. |
|
|
| D.C. cuts: |
|
|
| B McCann |
|
|
| L Pickings |
|
|
| J Roberson |
|
|
| T Ledford |
|
|
| D Tackett |
|
|
| T Boo |
|
|
| Some long-time veterans get
the axe here. |
|
|
| Buffalo cuts: |
|
|
| J Samley |
|
|
| C Hollingsworth |
|
|
| We're not talking huge losses
here. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: |
|
|
| D Cook |
|
|
| J Engle |
|
|
| F Herrington |
|
|
| Not much here. |
|
|
| Arkansas cuts: |
|
|
| J Dickerson |
|
|
| J Horton |
|
|
| D Maddox |
|
|
| I Patterson |
|
|
| J Smith |
|
|
| T Turner |
|
|
| M Shea |
|
|
| Smith will get a job; he's a
veteran presence a lot of teams like. |
|
|
| Cincinnati
cuts: |
|
|
| M Eldridge |
|
|
| R Feufer |
|
|
| J Rodney |
|
|
| No big losses. |
|
|
| September 10,
2009 Update |
|
|
| Texas gets: |
|
|
| 2010 E1 |
|
|
| G Jones |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: |
|
|
| J Hollingsworth |
|
|
| Both teams saw a need and
filled it. The Rush are not going
away. |
|
|
| Long Island
cuts: |
|
|
| S Feld |
|
|
| He's young and has some
talent, but he's a knucklehead. He
should get a job, but I don't know if he will. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: |
|
|
| D Williams |
|
|
| F Endsley |
|
|
| R Nickoson |
|
|
| Definitely some legit 28-man
talent here, but not in St. Louis. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: |
|
|
| A Boda |
|
|
| With the arrival of Glenn
Jones, Boda was no longer needed. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: |
|
|
| P Stephenson |
|
|
| T Zimmerman |
|
|
| W Ziemba |
|
|
| Though older, I expect Ziemba
to get a job somewhere. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| T Maddox |
|
|
| Evansville gets: |
|
|
| D MacClellan |
|
|
| $1M |
|
|
| MacClellan fits Geno's system
better, but Los Angeles is still the winner of this deal. CSB gets a pivot that knows his system
inside and out, and he gets one that's been around |
|
|
| the block a time or two. Including in Georgia, where the Preds used
to reside. |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
cuts: |
|
|
| A Watts |
|
|
| R Howard |
|
|
| A Coley |
|
|
| I wondered why he was still in
the league when he was Brice Pennington's backup in Mobile…in 2003. Unbeknownst to me, Andrew Watts was still in the league until today. |
|
|
| September 9,
2009 Update |
|
|
| Texas cuts: |
|
|
| P Pfeil |
|
|
| Generally, three pivots is
enough on a roster. |
|
|
| New England
cuts: |
|
|
| E Koch |
|
|
| V Young |
|
|
| Young's been with the Sno-Dogs
since about when they came into the league, so he's a bit of a surprise
cut. A needed one, but a surprise. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: |
|
|
| K Bazziel |
|
|
| Despite marginal talent,
Bazziel keeps finding his way onto teams. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| J Cade |
|
|
| B Woodward |
|
|
| J Henry |
|
|
| They still overall have a
dearth of talent, and this helps bridge that gap a bit. |
|
|
| September 8,
2009 Update |
|
|
| Las Vegas
gets: |
|
|
| 2010 E4 |
|
|
| 2011 E2, E3 |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: |
|
|
| J Tucker |
|
|
| Good deal both ways - St.
Louis still has depth questions, and Detroit still has 3,224 players on their
roster. |
|
|
| Arkansas cuts: |
|
|
| L Haynes |
|
|
| B Woodward |
|
|
| Two more long-time Outlaws to
see the door. It was time. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: |
|
|
| J George |
|
|
| M Percival |
|
|
| K Reed |
|
|
| Could see someone get a job,
but I doubt it. |
|
|
| Texas cuts: |
|
|
| A Anzune |
|
|
| E Kenneth |
|
|
| Anzune has enough experience
that he'll be called upon somewhere. |
|
|
| Miami cuts: |
|
|
| M O'Donnell |
|
|
| M Sorg |
|
|
| R Clinton |
|
|
| C Dickens |
|
|
| D Waywalker |
|
|
| E Rynearson |
|
|
| T Trump |
|
|
| Generally, these are probably
the right cuts for the Maulers (Trump is not a good cut considering their DS
corps). |
|
|
| Detroit cuts: |
|
|
| R Johns |
|
|
| E Breyfogle |
|
|
| N Bastien |
|
|
| M Casper |
|
|
| K Hall |
|
|
| Detroit would keep 50 if the
OIFL allowed it, and then complain they couldn't keep 60. They don't like cut down time. |
|
|
| San Diego
cuts: |
|
|
| G Tillson |
|
|
| R Zier |
|
|
| M Chambers |
|
|
| M McCoy |
|
|
| C Love |
|
|
| I could see a couple guys
getting tires kicked, but San Diego has some pretty clear cut candidates. |
|
|
| Spokane signs: |
|
|
| S Slabody |
|
|
| Best offer, and Slabody gets a
three-year deal worth some fair cash for his services. |
|
|
| Tucson cuts: |
|
|
| B Kinsley |
|
|
| B Schauber |
|
|
| J Henry |
|
|
| J Cullen |
|
|
| K Bazziel |
|
|
| M Fitzsimmons |
|
|
| S Farson |
|
|
| There will be guys here that
get a contract elsewhere. Tucson's
just too loaded. |
|
|
| September 2,
2009 Update |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
cuts: |
|
|
| C Mullaney |
|
|
| K Goodwin |
|
|
| Two long-time Renegades/Reign
players, and it was time. |
|
|
| Eugene signs: |
|
|
| T Saxer |
|
|
| L Slusser |
|
|
| L Ramsey |
|
|
| R Wray |
|
|
| L Northington |
|
|
| Eugene cuts: |
|
|
| K Roach |
|
|
| L Cosby |
|
|
| J Anderson |
|
|
| Eugene realizes they need more
talent, and there is some help in the FA pile for them. |
|
|
| Long Island
cuts: |
|
|
| K Ammen |
|
|
| No doubt he'll have a job
somewhere soon. |
|
|
| San Diego
cuts: |
|
|
| W Henry |
|
|
| M Bates |
|
|
| D Richardson |
|
|
| No. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: |
|
|
| R Lee |
|
|
| N Bruce |
|
|
| L Inscore |
|
|
| B Slynt |
|
|
| Some longer-termed Rush
players, but nothing of note. |
|
|
| San Francisco
cuts: |
|
|
| B Brooks |
|
|
| S McCoullaugh |
|
|
| M Fields |
|
|
| A Schmetzer |
|
|
| S Slabody |
|
|
| Sharks finally biting the
bullet on some stupid contracts. |
|
|
| August 25,
2009 Update |
|
|
| Philadelphia
cuts: |
|
|
| J Heiser |
|
|
| G Jamison |
|
|
| Jamison might find a home
somewhere, but his career's probably over. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: |
|
|
| J Jason |
|
|
| W Richards |
|
|
| J Milton |
|
|
| Some longer-tenured Rush
players go here, but that's a good thing…because they weren't that good. |
|
|
| New Orleans
cuts: |
|
|
| J Stochmal |
|
|
| Simply, it was time. Stochmal was once a starter, but it was
time. |
|
|
| August 21,
2009 Update |
|
|
| California
gets: |
|
|
| D Macgruder |
|
|
| E3 |
|
|
| Evansville gets: |
|
|
| C Wier |
|
|
| Well, Bulls, what is it? Are you a team building for the future, or
a playoff team? |
|
|
| Long Island
cuts: |
|
|
| J Cade |
|
|
| I think he'll get on somewhere
else. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| L Knowles |
|
|
| R Hillman |
|
|
| They will give Balto's lack of
depth a boost. |
|
|
| August 17,
2009 Update |
|
|
| And now I wait
for scores. |
|
|
| Long Island
cuts: |
|
|
| M Bohem |
|
|
| He could find a home somewhere
as a 25th guy on the roster, but it's not too promising. |
|
|
| Omaha cuts: |
|
|
| L Knowles |
|
|
| L Slusser |
|
|
| Even Omaha has guys that
aren't good enough for their roster. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: |
|
|
| $750K |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| A Adama |
|
|
| This is a salary dump. |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| P Matos |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: |
|
|
| 2011 E2 |
|
|
| I totally understand the
thought of trading future picks to get better guys right now, especially when
you're not a good team. However, QB is
not a need for the Maulers. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: |
|
|
| M Sharits |
|
|
| I think we've *really* found
the end of the line now. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: |
|
|
| J Shields |
|
|
| $700K |
|
|
| Venice gets: |
|
|
| J Hay |
|
|
| Venice seems to be bulking up
to make a run in 2009. They'll be
under the radar, though, until said run materializes. |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
gets: |
|
|
| T Remer |
|
|
| 2011 E3 |
|
|
| $250K both now and at the end
of the year. |
|
|
| Long Island gets: |
|
|
| D Tickner |
|
|
| E5 |
|
|
| Tickner's not at the end of
the line, don't think he is. But he's
not a 50-plays-a-game starter anymore, and the Roughriders need to spend
salary on guys who will be. |
|
|
| Cincinnati
gets: |
|
|
| 2010 E2, E4 |
|
|
| 2011 E3 |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| D.C. gets: |
|
|
| C Kettlewell |
|
|
| J Leod |
|
|
| It's an overpay, and let's not
pretend it's not. But D.C. does still
need talent, and both those guys have some of it. |
|
|
| D.C. gets: |
|
|
| D Seve |
|
|
| T Becker |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| C Waudaburg |
|
|
| B Downing |
|
|
| T Trump |
|
|
| Probably the best move Miami
has made yet. D.C. sees value in both
those guys, and God bless 'em. But
Waudaburg and Trump are better at where they'll play than |
|
|
| Seve and Becker. |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| R Odolfo |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| R Little |
|
|
| Another very good trade for
the Maulers. Yeah, it adds salary, but
Odolfo will do more longer for the Maulers than Little will for the Pioneers. |
|
|
| August 5, 2009
Update |
|
|
| Fort Dodge
gets: |
|
|
| 2011 E3 |
|
|
| $300K |
|
|
| Venice gets: |
|
|
| D Badnell |
|
|
| Pretty good price for the
Waveriders. |

|
|
| Cedar Valley
cuts: |
|
|
| M Stanislaus |
|
|
| E Moore |
|
|
| D Sheets |
|
|
| We're not losing a lot here. |
|
|

|
|
| D Morgan |
|
|
| A Reight |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| E4, E5 |
|
|
| Though I'd rather see Miami
dealing its older players for this young trainable stuff, they have to get

|
|

|
|
| A trade of convenience -
Blessig still needs considerable TC work to be a playable DS, and Los Angeles
wants a guy ready now. |
|
|
| Next year, Blessig will be the
better player. But this is the
OIFL. Who cares about next year? |

went for filling it. I think LA got

for them, too. |

|
|
| Cedar Valley
gets: |
|
|
| J Strong |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| $50K |
|
|
| It's a deal of
convenience. Experienced backup QBs
are pretty nice to have. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: |
|
|
| C Stanley |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| 2010 E4, E5 |
|
|
| I like the deal both
ways. Baltimore needs talent
everywhere, while Miami needs to get rid of guys that won't help them
long-term (Tate's the OS) and stockpile picks. |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| J Bonner |
|
|
| Cedar Valley gets: |
|
|
| L O'Neil |
|
|
| This is a good move both
ways. O'Neil isn't going to help Miami
when they turn things around, and Bonner just isn't necessary for the
Phantoms. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: |
|

|
|
| 2010 E3 |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| G Peterson |
|
|
| L Babaganoosh |
|
|
| The rare trade where it's
pretty clear this helps both ways.
Houston's trying to get a bit younger, and they get two good
linemen. KC has all kinds of good
young linemen, and Smith |
|
|
| has been around the block and
knows what to do. And that dispersal
pick, well, it'll get Kansas City somethin' reeeeeal nice. |

|
|
| Wisconsin gets: |

this is a decent enough deal. |

|

|
|
| 2011 E1, E2, E3, E4 |
|
|
| Long-term, this is a
significant overpay, but the Bulls aren't playing for
"long-term." And Ben Stern
is the cornerstone to their pass game now… |

|
|
| KC E2 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|

|
|
| I like Murphy; he's going to
be a very good player for Philadelphia with some work. I also like Cornell, who's going to be a
big time contributor for the Tigers this year and beyond. |
|
|
| St. Louis doesn't like this
deal a whole lot, though they have Ted Knight, giving them the flexibility to
do this. |

talent over the possibility of a sleeper.
Now that we know Nawlins didn't get a sleeper, I guess it works. |

|
|
| Venice gets: |
|

trade-for-cash stuff, especially with an OIF2 team that may not have that
much talent anyways, this one isn't too bad. |

|
|
| Cincinnati gets: |
|
|
| M Stevenson |
|
|
| $500K (since one was a
sleeper) |
|

| Cincy's working to improve
their defense, and Stevenson has a lot of experience as a DS in Dallas, so
this works out well. |

|
|
| S Butz |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| $200K |
|
|
| Butz was paid $100K to waive
his no-trade clause, and he accepted the low amount because he should start
in Miami. |

| Rogers is about as
underappreciated an OLDL as the league's ever had - not the greatest by any
stretch, but he's a good one. |

|
| New Orleans
gets: |

|
| E2-2 |
|
|
| San Diego gets: |
|
|
| R Green |
|
|
| Green's not the guy that
people usually point to when building a team.
One of the most disappointing top-5 picks in the entry draft ever,
easily. |

|
|
| C Davis |
|
|
| F Lakha |
|
|
| I'll be honest, the prospect
of two superstar backs playing and carrying between them 45 times a game
really intrigued me. But without any
semblance of a pass game, it |
|
|
| had no chance of being
successful. Certainly you're not gonna
get 120-1700-40 out of those receivers, but they give San Jose guys that can
play receiver…which they need. |

want, and then see what you have. |

|
|
| G Norman |
|
|
| A James |
|
|
| T Doxen |
|
|
| This was billed as "the
biggest trade in OIFL history."
It's not. What it is, though,
is a trade that just might have put the Mean Machine over the top towards an
OIFLCup. |
|
|
| Tucson set themselves up
fairly nicely for the future, but for chrissakes they just won the OIFLCup. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay

| K St. Pierre |
|
|
| Texas gets: |
|
|
| E1-20 |
|
|
| J Kilgallen |
|
|
| D Stubblefield |
|
|
| So basically Texas got
Killgallen and Stubblefield for nothing.
So really, it's close to even here. |
|
|
| Texas gets: |

|
|

mid-level pick next year for an all-time great that isn't even old yet. Phantoms fans will love Bazile's leadership

| They're not superstars, but
it's just cash, and the Conspiracy are more than happy to take a couple guys
who may well start for them for cash. |

|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| K Breen |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| K Mintz |
|
|
| Let's pretend these two
organizations will keep guys for more than a year just for a second. In two years, there's no doubt Tucson will
have the better of this deal. |
|
|
| But Kansas City seems to be
playing to win it this year. And
Mintz, even if he's starting to slow down, is the kind of back you want to
help you do that. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| STL E1 |
|
|
| $1M |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: |
|
|
| M Fly |
|
|
| Here we go again - the Rush
prove they're not content with the status quo, and even a long-time STL
player like Germaine Brown may be shown the once-over in favor of |
|
|
| one of the most electrifying
players in the league today. That
said, I see the Rush keeping the fan favorite around; he's just not going to
start. |

|
|
| C Macrides |
|
|
| Texas gets: |
|
|
| E2-16 |
|
|
| 10 NO E2 |
|
|
| Tampa Bay's strategy of
"oh, this division still stinks, so we can blow things up and win it
anyways" is getting weaker little by little. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| E3 |
|
|
| New Orleans gets: |
|
|
| W Berry |
|
|
| Berry's a great young talent -
might be a slight overpay, but the Storm are looking to get guys who have
played on the 50-yard field before. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| J Perry |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| E1-27 |
|
|
| $8M |
|
|
| Perry's bounced around quite a
few places, but very quietly Evansville is getting a reputation for being a
place a guy can stay for awhile (until he chokes in a dozen playoff |
|
|
| games like Clements did). He's going to be a devastating addition to
the Squirrels offense. |

| POR E5 |
|

| Baltimore gets: |
|
|

| I really like this deal for
Baltimore. Yeah, Johnson needs work,
but he's workable, and Baltimore didn't really kill themselves to get him. |

| Stubbs still has a few good

the Wings will like what they get. |

I'm not sure why VI's bothering with trading Matos for a kicker. |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| M O'Donnell |
|
|
| College Station gets: |
|
|
| R Walls |
|
|
| I'll be honest - I'm not sure
the upside here for Miami. O'Donnell
has authored some impressive games here and there, but he's never kept a job
for any length of time. |
|
|
| Walls is the immediate starter
in College Station, and he's the guy they're going to turn to to get them
going in a brutal Southwest. |

| COMP E2, COMP E3 |
|
|
| D.C. gets: |

| Glass was cast aside in Omaha

I'm sure Cranston's four-pick day in the East final thrills Destroyers
fans now. |

| M Hashim |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: |
|
|
| M Dilworth |
|
|
| Is this the end of Martin in
Tampa Bay? On the flip side, the
Sharks have a tested and true RB now, even if he's the prototypical finesse
back. |
|
|
| And that would also force
Kimbar to go two ways. |

|
| TB E1 |
|

| This particular poo poo
platter would have probably been worth someone like Jacque Johnson,
maybe. Instead…really? Did this actually cross my email? |
|

| Don't get mad at Portland, he
didn't offer the deal. One rival GM
said it like this: "Yeah, but
it's not like Boddy can help when their backups are in." |

| 2010 E1 |

|
| 2010 E4 |
|
|
| I don't like deferring top-10
picks for stuff next year. But
Anderson and Clay are good players. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: |
|
|
| B Schmidt |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: |
|
|
| E3 |
|
|
| T Knight |
|
|
| Knight did a lot of good
things for a bad Baltimore team, but Schmidt is probably a better
player. And besides…when you're in the
Gravy Bowl, you didn't do real well anyways. |
|
|
| San Jose gets: |
|
|
| M Hartman |
|
|
| M Bassett |
|
|
| Venice gets: |
|
|
| $30K |
|
|
| This is an obvious salary
dump, but San Jose needed a good trade to help start make up for the Boddy
debacle. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| D Madray |
|
|
| Texas gets: |
|
|
| E3-16 |
|
|
| R June |
|
|
| I can see wanting to give Cox
everything here…makes perfect sense.
But Detroit done good here. |
|
|
| College
Station gets: |
|
|
| D Cody |
|
|
| T Quick |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: |
|
|
| R Greene |
|
|
| Greene was one of the guys in
Balto during the "good" times - this was also a salary maneuver for
the Breakers, who it's rumored are going to be trying to hit it big in FA. |
|
|
| Kansas City

|
|
| J Atwood (who is retiring and
will become KC's head coach) |
|
|
| I Sanders |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| D Schlosser |

new organization. |

| Butel is an original Dagger;
he'll enjoy going home. |

|
|
| P Alexander |
|
|
| San Francisco gets: |
|
|
| S Slabody |
|
|
| The Sharks need some depth at

This works. |

| Miami loans to
Tucson: |
|
|
| R Bush for $1,000,000 |
|
|
| This is also in direct
response to the Pride of Kansas. |

| R Mays |
|
|
| Miami gets: |

the Pride of Kansas. |

| The headlines: "Tuttle leaves Canada" or

San Antonio went waaaay under the radar in stealing on a trade last year,
too. |
|
|
| HEY! I ROLLED A SIX! I REALLY DID IT! |
|
|
| Jack Morgart has been declared

|
| L Peterson |
|
|
| Peterson is a former

Just ask the 1997 Florida Marlins. |
|
|
| Vancouver

|
|
| CON E1 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| J Shidecker (at year's end) |
|
|
| Good deal both ways -
Shidecker will help the Predators out, and Vancouver Island's going to use
the draft again…though Shidecker may have netted more. |
|
|
| Dodge City

|
|
| A Stiles |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|

| Little Al is another veteran

|
|
| T Osborn |
|

Calderon at year's end) |
|
|
| Duffy has always been creative

| C Logan |
|

| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| Future considerations (K
Chudobiack and P Persampieri at Y/E) |
|
|
| Logan has always raised the
level of play around him wherever he's been.
If he does that in Dodge City, this team's going to go a long way. |

|
| F Luntz |
|
|
| I Ingram |
|
|
| future considerations (C
Berrenta and S Walters at Y/E) |
|
|
| Sandler's probably the best DS

he's had a shot at the OIFLCup. |
|
|
| Dodge City

|
|
| C Wier |
|
|
| Texas gets: |
|
|
| M Trask |
|
|
| J Mundane |
|
|
| Fans worried that these Dagger
pickups, rentals as they may be, really wouldn't understand the mystique of
State Farmers' Insurance Arena and what these fans |
|
|
| mean to the Dagger
organization. Wier, the team's
long-time C/NT, won't have that problem. |

|
| T Friedman |
|
|
| Detroit cuts: |
|
|
| C Breloski |
|
|
| Breloski, for whatever reason,
simply lost it these past couplea years.
The longtime Dennis Marr kicker goes by the wayside, and this could be
the end for him. |

|
| R Coughenour |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| W Marck |
|
|
| P Bucar |

|
| Marck's the star of this
deal. A very reliable OS for what is
turning into a very strong offense. |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| C Stanley |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| CC E3 |
|
|
| POR E4 |
|
|
| Lysoby does not like low

expendable for any sort of junk he could find. |

|
|
| D Palmer |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |

|
|
| I'm not sure I like Palmer

willing to play Kimbar both ways again. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: |
|
|
| E Smith |
|
|
| Central Iowa gets: |
|
|
| M Muddleston |

I like Law to Texas more. |

| B Meisinger |
|
|
| G Rogers |
|
|
| Texas gets: |
|
|
| R McDowell |
|
|
| 2009 LI E2 |
|
|
| There's a dropoff from
McDowell to Rogers…but Dilworth has proven capable at the pivot (even if he
got thrown under the bus this past week), and Meisinger |
|
|
| helps a questionable San Fran
pass defense. |
|

| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| New England E2 |
|
|
| T Denning |
|
|
| A Anderson |
|
|
| In the long term, New England
loses very little. In the short
term…heck, New England has some pretty nice looking young players. This isn't about "nice looking |
|
|
| young players" for the
Riptide. This is about getting the
OIFLCup with a conference that has all kinds of really darn good teams in
it. Denning has a couple rings, and |
|
|
| he knows what to do to get a
third. Though he's on the back side of
his career, Riptide fans will like what he brings to the table. |
|
|
| Anderson's not bad, either. |
|
|
| Evansville

|

| D Waywalker |
|
|
| 2009 RM E4, E5 |
|
|
| 2009 SF E4 |
|
|
| 2009 LI E5 |
|
|
| Hardly a
"blockbuster," but Waywalker is a pretty good young OS. OS isn't a need position for the Maulers,
though. |
|
|
| Miami cuts: |
|
|
| A Fred |
|
|
| B Chad |
|
|
| Okay, so that's why Waywalker
was a target. The Maulers didn't want
these guys anymore. |

| P Bucar |
|
|
| STL E5 |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: |
|
|

| Thigpen going to St. Louis

|
| Long Island

| N Lang |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: |
|
|
| LA E1 |
|

|
|
| Lang is a future hall-of-fame
receiver, and he should complement the Mean Machine well. |

| DAL E3, E5 |
|

|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| M Fly |
|
|
| K Mintz |
|
|
| J Thiel |
|
|
| At first glance, this deal is
incredibly stupid for Dallas. At
second glance, it's not all that bad, though Tucson is the clear OIFLCup
favorite now. |
|
|
| There will be two good young
guys and three good rookies, as well as cash for the new owner to spend in
FAFFA this offseason (though Mintz was a FAFFA guy). |
|

| F Poley |
|
|
| TUC E1 |
|
|
| TEX E1 |

|
| Okay, this one stinks. A terrible deal for Dallas, unless they
think two late E1s makes up for that mess of players they just dealt. |
|

|
| $500K |
|
|
| future considerations ($500K
at year's end) |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| C Stanley |
|
|
| Two top OS', with all the
WRDBs Tucson has, is not a need.
Kansas City can use the big play threat Stanley provides. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: |
|
|
| MIA E2 |
|
|
| Dodge City gets: |
|
|
| A Citro |
|
|
| This seems like an overpay. |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| G Gardner |
|
|
| ROS E1 (compensatory) |
|
|
| $1 million |
|
|
| Evansville gets: |
|
|
| M Stevenson |
|
|
| T Maddox |
|
|
| Gardner is slow, but he will
be good with some work. Evansville
gets two of perhaps the league's biggest all-time underachievers. |
|
|
| Houston signs
off the retired list: |
|
|
| N Marino |
|
|
| So, it appears the Marshals

|
|
| It didn't take too long for
Los Angeles to restructure the roster again. |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: |
|
|
| P Alexander |
|
|
| Dodge City gets: |
|
|
| M Trask |
|
|
| Alexander hasn't played squat
in years, but he has far more experience than the pivots that San Fran has,
so this was a necessary move. |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| DAL E1 |
|
|
| DAL E2 |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| S Wells |

| Another fair rebuild move. |

|
|
| Nope, Chris couldn't explain
to me why this deal was any good. |
|
|
| Dodge City

|
|
| J McKennon |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| D Feist |
|
|
| P Rose |
|
|
| LI E1 |
|
|
| Feist and Rose are good
players, but Harbaugh was the heart and soul of that Cresleys team (that
admittedly hasn't played well). |
|
|
| CSB has some history with
Harbaugh. |
|
|
| Los Angeles

|
|
| M Milton |
|
|
| No huge losses here. |
|
|
| Week 5 Update |
|
|
| Dodge City
gets: |
|
|
| C Hoxie |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| L O'Neil |
|
|
| This trade is more of an
opportunity showing. The teams don't
like one-another, but I know Daggers management wasn't fond of O'Neil, and
Miami |
|
|
| needed to make some
changes. This one might work well. |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| M Bowden |
|
|
| Long Island gets: |
|
|
| E5 |
|
|
| This is almost an overpay -
Bowden is worse than some free agents, I'd guess. |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| S Nyer (for two weeks) |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: |
|
|
| $150K (plus an E4 if Nyer gets
hurt) |
|
|
| Nyer has always wanted a real
shot to start. Though only for two
weeks, he now has one. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: |
|
|
| B Long |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| J Tate |
|
|
| J Romano |
|
|
| T Adgate |
|
|
| E3 |
|
|
| The Riptide have made it
clear: We're going for it this year. Now Long isn't what he was in 2002, and
he's not a true "power" back anymore, but Corpus Christi |
|
|
| did lack any sort of beef in
the run game (Tate isn't that bad, but he's still a flashy rookie)…and now
they do. Long will bring a new
mentality to the Riptide offense, |
|
|
| and even though this is an
overpay, it was a well-calculated one that should pay real dividends. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: |
|
|
| V Grubbs |
|
|
| BAL E4 |
|
|
| Texas gets: |
|
|
| R Hajj |
|
|
| Certainly not an earth-shaking
deal (Baltimore has very few players that could manage one of those, though
they probably should try at 0-4 now) - but this one may help |
|
|
| the Breakers get a little more
beef on their roster. |
|

| He just wasn't getting it done
(not that anyone is in Baltimore). |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| P Goodwin |
|
|
| POR E3, E4 |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| C Logan |
|
|
| future considerations |
|
|
| Logan is on the back side of
his career, but Omaha isn't that far away from competing for a low playoff
spot (or high OIT spot), and he's going to help them there. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| B High |
|
|
| LIN E1 |
|
|
| $1.5M |
|
|
| Long Island gets: |
|
|
| T Richmond |
|
|
| LA E1 |
|
|
| 2010 E4 |
|
|
| Sources tell me High will be
taken back to his traditional position of LB/S on defense, while probably
still playing the O-Line (which he's proven pretty capable of). |
|
|
| High won the 2006 OIFL
Defensive Player of the Year award as a DS/LB with the Detroit Gargoyle
defense that annihilated everyone. Los
Angeles is hoping for more |
|
|
| of that. If they get it, they're an OIFLCup
contender, especially if they shore up the hole on the DL that Richmond
leaves. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
signs: |
|
|
| E Longbottom |
|

| Week 4 Update |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| VI E1, RM E2, STL E2, WIS E2 |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| K Hartsock |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: |
|
|
| P Tuttle |
|
|
| I saw how this thing played
out in the press a bit. Tucson fans
are wondering if the team really wants a title, because you need that kind of
depth. Wouldn't worry much |
|
|
| about it since they parlayed
the picks into other stuff later on.
Portland played it as if Tuttle was so sad to leave a team that really
still hasn't won anything (and at the |
|
|
| same time I think both sides
are happy it went like this; Portland got one of the best DBs in the league
in Ken Hartsock). Vancouver Island was
so desperate to be |
|
|
| relevant they put up four
starters for the shot to relive glory six years old. A blockbuster on all ends, folks, and
things just got a little more interesting in the OIFL. |
|
|
| College
Station gets: |
|
|
| T Saxer |
|
|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| D Moody |
|
|
| The problem may well have been
averted if Florida would have signed a kicker in free agency that was
starting material. |

|
| J Huff |
|
|
| Central Iowa gets: |
|
|
| E Smith |
|
|

|
|
| STL E2 |
|
|
| Smith is the best player
today, but in two years, Huff will be.
Might be a good deal both ways. |

Texas, but if they parlay the two E1s into something else shortly to get even
better, then sure, why not? |

|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| P Rose |
|
|
| Central Iowa gets: |
|
|
| K Bynes |
|
|
| TEX E3 |
|
|
| Bynes may be a head case, but
he's got a lot of talent. Central Iowa
thought they needed more of that, so why not? |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: |
|
|
| OMA E2 |
|
|
| LI E5 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: |
|
|
| K Bazziel (VAN pays $500K to
get Bazziel to waive no-trade) |
|
|
| OMA E3 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island still needs
depth, so I'm not sure the point here. |

| J Bradley |
|
|
| College Station gets: |
|
|

Shore both have quite a bit of experience, something the Wardogs need. |

| $15K |
|
|
| Venice gets: |
|
|

Venice gets two backups as well here. |

|
| Miami gets: |
|
|
| $2,929,973.62 |
|
|
| Really…money is hardly as
important as a guy that you pumped half your training camp into. This is just a dumb move. |
|
|
| Central Iowa
gets: |
|
|
| C Fleming |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: |
|
|
| 2009 E2, E5 |
|
|
| J Asebodo |
|
|
| I like this deal both ways,
though Central Iowa gets a more immediate impact. Fleming is one of the best WRs in league
history…but he's not that great a DB. |
|
|
| Kansas City

|
|

| Cincinnati gets: |
|
|
| C Kettlewell |
|
|
| H Gordon |
|
|
| N Bianco |
|
|
| $1M |
|
|
| Cincy's defense scares the
crap out of them, and Kettlewell will help them. Breen is going to fit in very well in
Kansas City. |
|
|
| Cincinnati

|
|
| A Crystal |

it gets some talent moved around, and it gets Dallas some depth. |

| Two veterans making moves to

be what Tucson was last year. |

| P Dunleavy |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |

|
|
| D Sheets |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |

|
| College Station desperately
needs talent now to compete in that division.
An E2 for Schmyik may be an overpay, but he's something that will
improve the roster today. |
|
|
| Lincoln cuts: |

|
| The Lightning didn't win a
title with Ben Altenbrandt-type players running around. |

|
|
| R Garrett |
|
|

| This is probably also an
overpay, but Garrett does have the potential to be special. |
|
|

|
|
| R Washington |
|
|
| Texas gets: |

guy in this deal, especially long-term. |
|
|
| Long Island

|
|
| L Paulson |
|

|
|
| 2009 DET E4 |
|
|
| G Rogers |
|
|
| Rogers has been bounced around
so much that he must be getting tired of it.
I think High's a better fit to help Texas win right now, but Rogers
gives them a strong line. |

| Slabody will probably be
better in two or three years. For
once, San Francisco isn't worrying about "in two or three years." |

|
|
| E5-33 |
|
|
| Even without a sleeper left,
if there isn't one, I wonder if the Daggers could've done better (almost as a
salary dump) than this… |
|
|

|
|
| SF and LI 2009 E3 |
|
|
| San Francisco gets: |
|
|
| E4-21 |

| San Francisco's going
fishing…and if they somehow hit two…that'd be something. |

|
| A Hicks |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| $2M at end of season |
|
|
| Both Tri-City late E3 picks |
|
|
| Hicks for cash, something
still not that highly valued in the OIFL, is a good deal. Though, the ThunderKats got what is a good
player with one of the E3s. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: |
|
|
| L Northington |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: |
|

Northington for less, but this isn't a terrible deal. |

at a sleeper worse than a small pay-day, but what do I know? |

|
| E4-28 |
|
|
| 2009 FLA E4 |
|
|
| Florida gets: |
|
|
| A Walker |
|
|
| The thought concept states
that some teams are destined to always be bad. Trading for a third-string OS doesn't do
anything to temper that thought concept. |
|
|
| Venice gets: |
|
|
| $75K |
|
|
| Long Island gets: |
|
|
| E5-35 |
|
|
| I'd have held out for more,
because if there's one or two sleepers left when the E5-35 rolls around,
people are going to pay out big time. |
|
|

was he? |

| Apparently these two were
sleeper shots. |

|
| Rocky Mountain
gets: |
|
|
| P Welker |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: |
|
|
| 2009 RM E2, E4, E5 |
|
|
| He needs work, but the
Renegades didn't pay a high price for him, so it's not that huge a deal. |
|
|
| New Orleans
gets: |
|
|
| E4, E5, E6 |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: |
|
|
| M Hines |
|
|
| I like Hines, though if the
Storm get a sleeper, Renegades fans will want someone's head. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| B McElroy |
|
|
| Cut penalty cash from New
Orleans, if necessary |
|
|
| New Orleans gets: |

| The Storm are trying to shed
unnecessary stuff to get younger. Not
a bad go at it, I don't figure. |

| E3-11 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: |
|
|
| E3-23 |
|
|
| D Waywalker |
|
|
| I like Waywalker, though you
must realize that he needs a lot of work to be a stud. He can be one, and the Vengeance should
work on making sure that happens. |

|
| N Lang |
|
|
| A Moore |
|
|
| 2009 TUC E2, E3, E4 |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| The rest of the MIN draft
(E2-26, 30, 40, E3-24, E4-23, E5-21, 36) |
|
|
| Tucson will get some talent
out of this mold, and they may hit another sleeper. But Minneapolis still needed to make a
couplea splashes this offseason. |
|
|
| To get a veteran with the
career Nick Lang has had…even though WR wasn't a weak spot for the
Mustangs…that's a splash. |
|
|
| Long Island
gets: |
|
|
| E3-4 |
|

| E4-1 |
|
|
| San Francisco gets: |
|
|
| J Townsend |
|
|
| J Logan |
|
|
| 2009 LI E3 |
|
|
| Perhaps it's not a great deal,
but San Francisco got more talent, and they need it, so this isn't that bad. |

| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| C Prince |
|
|
| W Stallworth |
|
|
| 2009 VEN and TRI E3 |
|
|
| Lew's a salary dump,
obviously, but the two E2s will be of pretty nice value for the Wave Riders,
too. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: |
|
|
| M Grucella |
|
|
| Florida gets: |
|
|
| E4-28 |
|
|
| Good salary maneuver by
Florida. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
gets: |
|
|
| E2-31 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: |
|
|
| 2009 WIS E2 |
|
|
| The Vengeance are certainly
building towards 2009, but they've got enough talent to add a couplea pieces
and compete in 2008. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
cuts: |
|
|
| A Paden |
|
|
| E Ledbetter |
|
|
| D Thomas |
|
|
| Paden and Ledbetter have been

| M Phillips |
|
|
| Got him cheap enough…pretty
good backup quarterback. |
|
|
| Omaha signs: |
|
|
| N Kennedy |
|
|
| They need depth, but I think
you can find it without guaranteeing $300K of salary. |
|
|
| Texas signs: |
|
|
| J Stalker |
|
|
| J Stillwell |
|
|
| Stalker has a wealth of
experience at OS that will help what has quickly turned into a good football
team. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island cuts: |
|
|
| E Davis |
|
|
| M Schrader |
|
|
| No reason to keep twelve
quarterbacks or whatever it is on the roster. |
|

|
|

|
| Dodge City
gets: |
|
|
| D Calderon |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| E2-2 |
|
|
| Calderon is a good change of
pace for the Daggers with Conduttori already on the roster. |
|
|

|
|
| L Plevin |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| B Schauber |
|
|
| 2009 LA E3 & E5 |
|
|
| 2009 VAN E4 |
|
|
| Plevin's probably worth
that. But how long will he stay in
Vancouver Island? |
|
|
| Dodge City
gets: |
|
|
| R Gardner |
|
|
| Central Iowa gets: |
|
|
| E3-27 |
|
|
| E5-20 |
|
|
| E6-1 |
|
|
| E6-8 |
|
|
| Gardner's a pretty good
player, if not getting a bit old. But
if the Roughriders hit a sleeper or two, no one's going to question this. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: |
|
|
| E3-19 |
|
|
| Texas gets: |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| Can't argue with that,
especially when you've already had a good offseason. |
|
|
| Long Island

|
|
| R Shore |
|
|
| P Yee |
|
|
| A Shipman |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| E2-27 |
|
|
| 2009 POR and VAN E2 |
|
|
| Yee was a
bigger-than-you-think part of Detroit's recent success…but Detroit's recent
success isn't good enough for Dennis Marr.
So why not? |
|

2008 Update |
|
|
| New Orleans
matches EVL offer on: |
|
|
| R Green |
|
|
| For $5,000 a week, it's tough,
but Green's worth that. I may have
gone for the pick anyways, though. |
|
|
| Central Iowa
gets: |
|
|
| $50K |
|
|
| KC gets: |
|
|
| E Loewenstein |
|
|
| This franchise drafted the
guy, and he's got some skills to backup LiPetri. |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| E3-32 |
|
|
| E3-16 |
|
|
| E3-34 |
|
|
| E3-35 |
|

|
|
| E3-39 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: |
|
|
| E2-31 |
|
|
| 2009 ROS E2 |
|
|
| This probably wasn't enough to
trade away six E3s, but the two best players (barring a sleeper or something)
will be going to Vancouver Island. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| L Rohtin |
|
|
| M Farris |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: |
|
|
| E1-27 |
|
|
| 2009 LA E3 & E5 |
|
|
| I really like Rohtin, but the
E1-27 could be something, too. |
|
|
| Dodge City
gets: |
|
|
| 2009 CON E1 |
|
|
| 2009 FLA E2 |
|
|
| V Simecka |

| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| E1-26 |
|
|
| E2-11 |
|
|
| E3-3 |
|
|
| E3-23 |
|
|
| Rumor has it that Tucson's
going sleeper fishing quite early in this year's draft. Simecka is a good player, and Dagger fans
won't be displeased with |
|
|
| what they get out of him. |
|
|
| Minneapolis
gets: |
|
|
| T Cadet |
|
|
| R Moesly |
|
|
| H Adcock |
|
|
| E2-30 |
|
|
| $1.5M |
|
|
| Texas gets: |
|
|
| E1-23 |
|
|
| Minneapolis really needed to
make a splash somewhere along the line, most to help out what is a very
average RB situation (Mickey Jacobs and Joshua Bell). |
|
|
| Rod Moesly probably
accomplishes that, and he's quite familiar with the Mobile-style aggressive
offense that Minneapolis likes to use. |
|
|
| Texas will probably poach a
lineman with the pick. |
|

|
| Texas gets: |
|
|
| $150K |
|
|
| Venice gets: |
|
|
| W Stallworth |
|
|
| W Drown |
|
|
| Drown's the kind of player a
team like Venice needs. Though he's
not a 30-plays-a-game DS, Drown has always been a great leader to help young
guys. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| E1-9 |
|
|
| E2-39 |
|
|
| Venice gets: |
|
|
| E1-16 |
|
|
| B Berman |
|
|
| I like Berman a lot. Dropping seven slots doesn't change my
opinion there, either. |

sleeper fishing. |

|
|
| W Zjoe |

| 2009 E4 |
|
|
| 2009 E5 |
|
|
| Venice gets: |
|
|
| T Schofield |
|
|
| R Krieg |
|
|
| To be honest, I never thought
trading Zjoe after what he did last year was that smart, anyways. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: |
|
|
| W Salazar |
|
|
| E2-32 |
|
|
| E3-29 |
|
|
| E3-38 |
|
|
| 2009 E1 |
|
|
| 2009 E2 |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| E1-11 |
|
|
| Salazar's a pretty good player
in his own right. I think Ed did
allright in getting the six-player package for the E1-11 (Jeffrey Conner). |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: |
|
|
| W Kenneth |
|
|
| E3-33 |
|
|
| Evansville gets: |
|
|
| E1-31 |
|
|
| Down the road, yeah,
Evansville did better than San Fran here.
But the Thunder Sharks are quietly building a team that doesn't
stink. Kenneth has always |
|
|
| played very good football, and
he gives Jack Morgart a bona fide target. |

|
|
| Central Iowa
cuts: |
|
|
| S Sindelpacher |

|
|
| Central Iowa
signs: |
|
|
| A Watts |
|
|
| E Loewenstein |
|
|
| R Dundee |
|
|
| Dundee has experience, but
Loewenstein may have the measureables for the long-term when Borrello
retires. I don't know why they signed
Watts. |

| Memphis has always gotten a
bit out of scrubs, but they may have too many of them this year. |
|
|
| Venice signs: |
|
|
| C Allen |
|
|
| Yeah, it's a bit too high, but
Venice can afford it. The issue may be
that he's not very good right now. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: |
|
|
| G Beckwith |
|
|
| R Green |
|
|
| T Zimmerman |
|
|
| Is Green worth an E1? New Orleans probably thinks so right
now. But Evansville did get a cheap
player, and may give up multiple lower picks to keep him. |

|
| St. Louis
signs: |
|
|
| J Mickles |
|
|
| R Nickoson |
|
|
| S Bond |

session 1 guys weren't so "quiet," but you know… |
|
|
| New Orleans
signs: |
|
|
| J Judentry |
|
|
| No one's talking about

Louisiana. |

| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| B Lewis |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| E4-31 |
|
|
| E5-1 |
|
|
| Omaha's obviously not resting
with sleeper shots. If a guy they had
pegged as a sleeper becomes one, they'll wish they did. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| M Lew |
|
|
| Long Island gets |
|
|
| 2009 DET E4 |
|

Detroit could have made, but it works. |

|
| Tampa Bay
gets: |
|
|
| $1M |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| K Sick |
|
|
| Yeah, cash means nothing to
Detroit. For all they care, Sick just
came over for free. |
|
|
| Florida gets: |
|
|
| C Logan |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: |
|
|
| $2M AT THE END OF THE YEAR |
|
|
| Logan goes back home, too. |

|
|
| E5-6 |
|
|
| 2009 VEN E1 |
|
|
| 2009 VEN E2 |
|
|
| Bowman's a good player,
someone that Venice can build around.
Not sure it's worth two picks, though. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: |
|
|
| L Pickering |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: |
|
|
| E6-12 |
|
|
| $50K |
|
|
| A sleeper shot? I suppose, if any of them are left. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets

|
|
| M Nuremberg |
|

what Brian did here. |

|
|
| G Calais |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| C Kettlewell |
|
|
| D Mack |
|
|
| I actually like this for
Vancouver Island. Lamont Jackson could
be a great RB with some work. |
|
|

|
|
| D MacClellan |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: |
|
|
| S Nyer |
|
|
| 2009 VAN and HOU E2 |
|
|
| MacClellan is a good player
that really should have a home to start and excel in. He won't get that here. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: |
|
|
| E4-38 |
|
|
| E5-8 |
|
|
| Tri-City gets: |
|
|
| N Vanderbrockland |
|
|
| I think the sleeper shots may
have been better for the Blaze, but Vanderbrockland has played before. |

|
| E2-44 |
|
|
| 2009 TRI E3 |
|
|
| O Tidwell |
|
|
| Tidwell's perhaps the top
player here, but Kansas City needed depth, and this give them some. |
|
|
| Texas gets: |
|
|
| E2-3 |
|
|
| E2-30 |
|
|
| E2-36 |
|
|
| $4M |
|
|
| Spokane gets: |
|
|
| J Rodriquez |
|
|
| L Williams |
|
|
| Spokane gets two pretty good
players, but the last thing Texas needs is more depth with this FAFFA
class. And they got it anyways. |
|
|
| January 26,
2008 Update - END OF SECOND BIDDING SESSION |
|
|
| To finalize
Rod Moesly RFA signing, Texas sends to Tampa Bay: |
|
|
| P Matos |
|
|
| 2009 E2 |
|
|
| Since they signed Tacasey
Cadet as well, this was easy to do. |
|
|
| To finalize
Todd Doxen RFA signing, Tucson sends to Memphis: |
|
|
| M Bell |
|
|
| E1-22 |
|
|
| Memphis doesn't usually have
one-way guys (beyond the QB), but Bell is, let's be honest, a rare talent. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
cuts: |
|
|
| K Brimmer |
|
|
| They don't need an aging OS
anymore, but Brimmer will find a home somewhere. He can still play. |
|
|
| Long Island
cuts: |
|
|
| K Fields |
|
|
| So what, he was replaced by
Boddy? You're kidding, right? |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
matches on RFA: |
|
|
| S Whitehead |
|
|
| Whitehead is probably the
"QB of the future" for the Marauders, and with the success they've
had with Steve Martin, they can afford to spend time |
|
|
| developing someone. Kansas City had the same idea. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| O Sargent |
|
|
| R Jenkins |
|
|
| H Morrison |
|
|
| L Monroe |
|
|
| Baltimore wanted to make their
splash last week, but getting Monroe on top of Morrison back isn't all that
bad, either. |
|
|
| Central Iowa
signs: |
|
|
| R Howard |
|
|
| P Reese |
|
|
| R Pflugner |
|
|
| Pflugner, with all kinds of
experience in Mobile, probably supplants T.J. Friedman in Central Iowa. |
|
|
| College
Station signs: |
|
|
| W Wilson |
|
|
| K Leperton |
|
|
| J Cullen |
|
|
| C Thompson |
|
|
| Thompson may be the star of
this, though he's just not developed like he could have. All four will get significant playing time
in College Station. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
signs: |
|
|
| J King |
|
|
| P Marntos |
|
|
| T Adgate |
|
|
| D Sacks |
|
|
| Adgate and Sacks will
immediately contribute in all kinds of ways, and Marntos has winning
experience. Good pickups by the
Riptide. |
|
|
| Dallas signs: |
|
|
| C Pineda |
|
|
| He won't get much of a chance
here, as Tommy Maddox is in the way.
But he may still develop. |
|
|
| Detroit signs: |
|
|
| R Reynolds |
|
|
| J Tucker |
|
|
| J Stocco |
|
|
| The Sting won a title on the
backs of a bunch of roleplayers. The
Gladiators are trying to do the same. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: |
|
|
| M Hansen |
|
|
| They already made their
splash; Hansen just helps the depth that much more. |
|
|
| Lincoln signs: |
|
|
| L Willingham |
|
|
| Z Lalty |
|
|
| The 2006 OIFLCup Champions are
just filling out the bottom end of their roster here. |
|
|
| Long Island
signs: |
|
|
| A Walker |
|
|
| S Edinger |
|
|
| For all the pizzazz made with
the big trade, the Mean Machine still need more depth. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: |
|
|
| D Carr |
|
|
| Carr has an OIFLCup as a
starter, and he's been a big piece on a number of teams that almost made
it. This was a great veteran pickup by
the Barracudas. |
|
|
| New Orleans
signs: |
|
|
| J Elam |
|
|
| R Haris |
|
|
| Good players that will help
the Storm, even though they're not all that young anymore. |
|
|
| Omaha signs: |
|
|
| P Denny |
|
|
| Another player that just
didn't develop like you'd think he would.
I wouldn't worry that much if Glass went down, though. |
|
|
| Portland
signs: |
|
|
| D May |
|
|
| M Lelo |
|
|
| His starting career leaves
much to be desired, but you can't get a much better backup pivot than Danny
May. |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: |
|
|
| B Brooks |
|
|
| S McCoullaugh |
|
|
| Good pickups, and both will
have an impact in San Francisco. Fans
still can't help but be disappointed that the team didn't stick their necks
out a week earlier. |
|
|
| Tri-City
signs: |
|
|
| A McDougal |
|
|
| G Cooper |
|
|
| Cooper is a great depth piece,
and with some of the trades the Blaze have made, they're going to be more
solid than you may think. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island signs: |
|
|
| J Maher |
|
|
| M Wislom |
|
|
| R Kreig |
|
|
| K Bazziel |
|
|
| Veterans are a key to
winning. Vancouver Island is in a
division that's not all that strong, and the veterans they've picked up might
give them a pretty good shot. |
|
|
| Venice signs: |
|
|
| J Bullard |
|
|
| C Allen |
|
|
| E Alliman |
|
|
| R Oyola |
|
|
| T Law |
|
|
| Law has a lot of
experience. The rest of these guys may
not play much, though. |
|
|
| January 19,
2008 Update - END FIRST FAFFA SESSION |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| Florida gets: |
|
|
| B Chad |
|
|
| The money may do well for
Omaha if they spend it to get better. |
|
|
| Arkansas
signs: |
|
|
| F Endsley |
|
|
| D Warren |
|
|
| J Davidson |
|
|
| Not much, and certainly not
worth guaranteed money like that. |
|
|
| Central Iowa
signs: |
|
|
| P Benney |
|
|
| Benney has played a lot in
this league, and he provides some good experience for the Roughriders. |
|
|
| College
Station signs: |
|
|
| D Kulwicki |
|
|
| D Fitzgerald |
|
|
| Fitzgerald was the one
offensive high spot for an anemic Mounties team last year. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
signs: |
|
|
| G Intianiosmith |
|
|
| N Medrano |
|
|
| T Hall |
|
|
| I think they should have done
more work with their line. There are
good linemen in that mess. |
|
|
| Dallas signs: |
|
|
| K Mintz |
|
|
| Madray and Mintz? Yeah, the 2004 OIFL MVP is getting older,
but that's scary. |
|
|
| Detroit signs: |
|
|
| R Harpeteker |
|
|
| Detroit fans wanted this team
to make a push towards a title. Ryan
Harpeteker is not a push towards a title. |
|
|
| Dodge City
signs: |
|
|
| L O'Neil |
|
|
| Want to talk about ticked off
fans. Woodcock and Wier were
available, and the Daggers signed Lou O'Neil. |
|
|
| Florida signs: |
|
|
| M Sorg |
|
|
| M Grucella |
|
|
| T Gisele |
|
|
| D Reeves |
|
|
| Gisele played a bit for
Detroit teams of years gone by, and Reeves has started, but by and large this
is an unimpressive group. |
|
|
| Kansas City
signs: |
|
|
| C Bryant |
|
|
| R Brownings |
|
|
| S Whitehead (RFA - CON 27K/3 -
10K/START) |
|
|
| R Coughenour |
|
|
| No bones about it, Jeremy
Poore said he wanted to turn this team around sooner than later. Bryant and Brownings were unbelievably
expensive, but he just |
|
|
| might have done that here. |
|
|
| Lincoln signs: |
|
|
| S Colvin |
|
|
| R Sabo |
|
|
| The Lightning apparently are
"building for 2009." |
|
|
| Memphis signs: |
|
|
| R Detmer |
|
|
| R Warrick |
|
|
| J Zagadaneca |
|
|
| This wasn't very impressive. |
|
|
| New England
signs: |
|
|
| B Bolin |
|
|
| Bolin needs seasoning, but he
could be a big time lineman. |
|
|
| New Orleans
signs: |
|
|
| D Gains |
|
|
| They missed the playoffs last
year…and with signings like this (and nothing else), they may do it again. |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: |
|
|
| S Bennigan |
|
|
| Give Tim credit…he did try to sign a bunch of
guys. But he didn't offer good enough
money. The Thunder Sharks absolutely
must find other ways to add |
|
|
| more talent than they have if
they want to compete. |
|
|
| Spokane signs: |
|
|
| D Stephens |
|
|
| B Woodcock |
|
|
| Woodcock is an all-timer of a
lineman, and he'll go a long ways in helping Spokane out. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: |
|
|
| J Cornell |
|
|
| B Rayburn |
|
|
| They spent out big time to get
these guys, and these two will help the Rush.
But will they help them enough to get over the hump? |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
signs: |
|
|
| K St. Pierre |
|
|
| K Stanford |
|
|
| R Ashworth |
|
|
| J Cortez |
|
|
| Brendan Duffy: "Wow, this Tampa squad is an ugly
beast." They got some good pieces
to the OIFLCup runners-up. |
|
|
| Texas signs: |
|
|
| W Bazile |
|
|
| T Cadet |
|
|
| B Meisinger |
|
|
| T Castle |
|
|
| R Fergo |
|
|
| R Moesly (RFA, compensation
already acquired and finalized) |
|
|
| M Hoper |
|
|
| L Peterson |
|
|
| C Wier |
|
|
| B High |
|
|
| It cost them gobs and gobs of
cash. But Texas already made good
money with poor attendance. And
there's some excitement brewing in Austin now, because |
|
|
| the Terrors have become a
contender overnight. That's what FAFFA
is all about. |
|
|
| Tri-City
signs: |
|
|
| E Zagadaneca |
|
|
| A Sandler |
|
|
| J Hero |
|
|
| The Blaze need a lot in what
is a very tough OIFL, but this is a start. |
|
|
| Tucson signs: |
|
|
| T Doxen (RFA - CON 120K/3 -
2M/SB - 10K/TD/INT - 250K/playoffs/division - 500K/OIFLCup |
|
|
| D Ross |
|
|
| T Laster |
|
|
| A Moore |
|
|
| E Smith |
|
|
| Doxen is the centerpiece
here…if Tucson uses him to his capability (not done, really, since 2001),
Todd Doxen could come close to that Street guy on some league |
|
|
| records. That is, if Memphis doesn't match and takes
the offer Tucson has proposed. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island signs: |
|
|
| J Leod |
|
|
| C Kettlewell |
|
|
| D MacClellan |
|
|
| MacClellan has had an enigma
of an OIFL career to date, and I'm not sure QB was a major need for a team
with Matt Sauk (and little else). |
|
|
| Venice signs: |
|
|
| M Bassett |
|
|
| P Reynolds |
|
|
| M Hartman |
|
|
| They need talent, and this
does provide some more of it. |
|
|
| Wisconsin
signs: |
|
|
| T Jacobs |
|
|
| J Enderle |
|
|
| Um, Harv…you don't have
Grayson Norman anymore. You've got to
build an entire team here. |

|
|
| J Gornik |

|
|
| Is this the end of the line
for OIFLCup I winning kicker Jason Maher? |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| T Maddox |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| R Marshall |
|
|
| Maddox is probably better
suited for the offense ready to "win now," while Marshall will do
wonders in Houston with a… |
|
|
| Wait…didn't we do this already
last year? |
|
|
| January 9,
2008 Update |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: |

| P Welker |
|
|
| TRI E3 and COMP E3 |

|
| R Tanner |
|
|
| O Tidwell |
|
|
| E2-10 |
|
|
| E2-18 |
|
|
| Lysoby made it clear that
Tri-City may have nine of its eleven starters with what players they
currently have on the roster. Even if
so, all four of the players |
|
|
| gathered here will be on the
Blaze roster in 2008. |
|
|
| January 8,
2008 Update |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| B Goodalle |
|
|
| Long Island gets: |
|
|
| M Danelo |
|
|
| K Fields |
|
|
| E2-21 |
|
|
| Some people say this trade is
terrible for Omaha…I don't really agree.
Long Island gets two very average linemen and a late E2 for a player
that has |
|
|
| some explosiveness for the
Xplosion offense. |
|
|
| Dodge City
gets: |
|
|
| 2009 CI E1 |
|
|
| Central Iowa gets: |
|
|
| D Tickner |
|
|
| Yeah, in three years, the E1
is probably going to be a better player for the Daggers than Tickner will be
for the Roughriders…but another big time OIFLCup |
|
|
| winner for the Roughriders
only makes them that much better right now. |
|
|
| Florida gets: |
|
|
| B Long |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| 2009 E1 |
|
|
| Business just picked up in
Miami. |
|
|
| January 3,
2008 Update |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| Both VEN E4 |
|
|
| Venice gets: |
|
|
| D Alvis |
|
|
| The sleeper shot isn't all
that great, so may as well get a sure thing with the picks. |
|
|
| Long Island
cuts/declines to resign: |
|
|
| P O'Furniture |
|
|
| This might be the end of the
line for Patty-O. |
|
|
| December 31,
2007 Update |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts/declines to resign: |
|
|
| J Davidson |
|
|
| He may find somewhere to play,
but it may be in the OIF2. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| W Kenneth |
|
|
| R Williams |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| T Olivares |
|
|
| Not really sure what the
Squirrels are going to do with Warren Kenneth here… |
|
|

|
|
| M Sorg |
|
|
| D Mustgrove |
|

|
|
| J Freese |
|
|
| E Alliman |
|
|
| B Hanna |
|
|
| J Kix |
|
|
| C Lovett |
|
|
| Only Mustgrove and Lovett
kind-of surprise me (both played quite a bit this past year). But you have to trim the fat to get better,
and there was a lot of fat here. |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| E1-2 |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| O Linton |
|
|
| L Allison |
|
|
| E2-14 |
|
|
| E2-21 |
|
|
| If you're going to trade the
second pick in the draft, you need to hit it big to do it. Linton played exceedingly well this year,
and Allison could be a C/NT rock |
|
|
| for a decade. Omaha's trying to build a base to really
get rolling in 2008 and beyond, and getting four startable players for the
E1-2…two of which are probably |
|
|
| going to be stars…that's a
good way to do it. Houston's trying to
hit it big now, and the E1-2 will do that (though who's the RB?) |
|
|
| December 27,
2007 Update |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| A Bowman |
|
|
| B Berman |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| M Horowitz |
|
|
| A Smith |
|
|
| Linemen shuffling around here. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| E1-15 |
|
|
| E1-22 |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| G Clarke |
|
|
| I really like Clarke's
potential (especially when the Roughriders used him right), and I think
Houston will never regret this trade. |
|
|
| Unless they deal him next week
somewhere else. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| A Stiles |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| E3-30 |
|
|
| Little Al will be a great
mentor to Wallace (still fairly young) and Roland Young. |
|
|
| Tucson gives
to Detroit: |
|
|
| E3-30 |
|
|
| This finishes a prior trade
(Chad Scott) |

|
|
| F Mason |
|
|
| M Brooks |

|
|
| We're not losing much here. |
|
|
| Long Island

|
|
| C Rieves |
|
|
| I'm not all that sold that
Omaha will be a "lottery pick" team (to use NBA terms). Rieves could be a big time DS if he gets
good TC work, and as such the Sharks |
|
|
| made a good move to get him. |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| E1-15 |
|
|
| E2-14 |
|
|
| E2-21 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: |
|
|
| A McDaniel |
|
|
| This might be an overpay, but
McDaniel could be a star. Would be
nice if he had Owen Rogers next to him still up in B.C., but alas… |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
cuts/declines to resign: |
|
|

| R Nickoson |
|

|

| Connecticut
gets: |
|
|
| M Baltzell |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| 2009 E1 |
|
|
| K Smith |
|
|
| I really like this deal for
Connecticut - they were forced to run Harbaugh into the ground this year
because no one trusted Jose Davis.
Though Baltzell |
|
|
| had a very bad playoff game
this year, he's far more dynamic. |
|

|
|
| C Kilano |
|
|
| R Mays |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| 2009 E2 |
|
|
| L Josefowicz (cut) |
|
|
| I thought Mays was going to be
worked up in TC for the Xplosion, but the E2 next year could help some. |
|
|

|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: |

| Portland gets: |
|
|
| E2-4 |
|
|
| E3-32 |
|

| T Hatherly |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| B Tropff |
|
|
| 2009 FLA E2 |
|
|
| Sanders is the best player in
this deal, though Tropff is moldable. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| 2009 FLA E2 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| A Hicks |
|
|
| Kansas City is trying to make
a play for 2008, not way down the way.
Hicks wasn't going to see much for Tucson, so this isn't dumb for him. |

| E1-19 |
|
|
| E Rynearson |

|
|
| S Whitehead |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| T LiPetri |
|
|
| Everyone knew this was the
case anyways, so there's no surprise that the Marauders are going
"young" with the backup pivot spot here. LiPetri has been |
|
|
| Lou Holtz' man ever since he
became an OIFL coach, so that's no shock, either. |

2008. |
|
|

|
|
| A Pollack |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|

|
|
| Pollack's worth more than
that, isn't he? Either way, he's going
to be a good player for the Crew in the OIFL. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| LIN E2 |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: |
|
|
| D Stubblefield |

| FLA COMP E3 |
|
|
| Florida gets: |
|
|
| B Boyd |
|
|
| J Kelly |
|
|
| Kelly's quickly becoming older

sleeper shot anyways. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |

| G Boddy |
|
|
| K Street |
|
|
| S Marcius |
|
|
| J Soames |
|
|
| 2009 LIN E1 |
|
|
| This is what you would call a
"blockbuster." One of the
biggest trades in OIFL history. Are
Street and Boddy getting older? Yes. Are they going to give the |
|
|
| Mean Machine five or six great
years? That's very hard to tell,
though I don't think so. Can they give
the Mean Machine a cup? Absolutely. |
|
|
| What a deal, and it takes some
balls to make it. Not that Lincoln got
screwed, either. The
"rebuild" that's more like a reload will go nicely with Mitchell
around |
|
|
| Zimmerman and Pritchett. |

|
| H Watson |
|

|
|
| Little did start every game
for the Vengeance, so I don't know how good losing him for likely an E3 and

| Dylan may get a slot at a

Otherwise, there may be some retirements here. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi

|
|
| P Hines |
|
|
| NE E1 |
|
|
| New England gets: |
|
|
| E Thomas |
|
|
| The parlay had better be
pretty good for the Riptide, because losing Thomas just isn't that bright
here for another receiver. |
|
|

|
|
| Jacksonville gets: |

| $75K |
|
|
| Venice gets: |

|
| L Higgins |
|

| F Poley |
|
|
| C Prince |
|
|
| W Zjoe |
|
|
| They may not be superstars,
but all three of these guys contributed an awful lot to Vancouver Island's
success. I thought they would be able
to build off |
|
|
| their 2007 success, not have
to rebuild from it. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| E Hice |
|
|
| San Francisco gets: |
|
|
| P Rogers |
|
|
| M Trask |
|
|
| Since Hice did so much for the
Thunder Sharks this year (2-15 nonwithstanding), I am surprised he'd be
dealt. But Rogers and Trask do have a
shot |
|
|
| to be a better end result for
the boys by the Bay. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| T Meyers |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| F Pilarowski |
|
|
| Meyers may have a better
future, but Pilarowski has a much better "now," and Kansas City
needs "now" more than Los Angeles does. |
|
|
| College

|
|
| R Greene |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| COMP E2 |

in College Station. |
|
|
| Tucson loans
to Jacksonville |
|
|
| $3M |
|
|
| Jacksonville when they receive
their luxury tax money will return to Tucson: |
|
|
| $3.1M |
|
|
| This'll help Jacksonville
repay a different loan. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
returns to Jacksonville: |
|
|
| SF E1 |
|
|
| Jacksonville returns to Los

| E6-22 |
|
|

|
|
| K Manns |
|
|
| M Booker |
|
|
| T Henry |
|
|
| Henry makes this a pretty
strong deal for the Thunder Sharks, though I do think they were hoping for
Shore to be big in their 2008 plans. |

|
|
| Summers is certainly a one way
player unless your OL/DL has a third wheel with no D, but Central Iowa's had
success with some guys with holes anyways. |
|
|
| Jacksonville

that. |

St. Louis really needs some line help, and the usually expensive Woods
will give it. |

| This is a blockbuster deal

|
|
| The big blast of the rebuild
movement in south Alabama comes in the form of the figure of the franchise
moving to Long Island. Pennington will
bring Flanders |

some of that Texas Tech-style offensive magic that found 98 touchdown passes

|
|
| Warrick and Cornell will
rebuild two different Mobile positions, but Evansville got what they needed
in Copeland. Always dogged for
"being too slow," |
|

make big play after big play on offense and defense. This is not what anyone wanted to see out
of the Squirrels. |

|
| Looks like Tucson is

the loan of Clarke for nothing |

| Blessig is going to be a very
very good player in this league, but it will take one heavy camp or two good

| Not sure what to think of
Wichita's rebuild here. |
|
|
| Kansas City
cuts: |
|
|
| H Maxfield |
|
|
| D Wiedne |
|
|
| Not a huge loss here on either
front. Maxfield will stay with his
OIF2 team. |
|
|
| Jacksonville
gets: |
|
|
| M York |
|
|
| 2008 KC E3 |
|
|
| 2008 CC E3 |
|
|
| 2009 KC E5 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| B Pendergrass |
|
|
| 2008 JAX E4 |
|
|
| Pendergrass might be a head
case, but he's a heck of a talented pivot.
And if you didn't notice, Kansas City is starting to amass some
talent. |
|
|
| Rosemont sends
down: |
|
|
| C Sanders (1) |
|
|
| C Millie (1) |
|
|
| M Ford (1) |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| R Shore |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: |
|
|
| E2 |
|
|
| Sure, the E2 might be
nice. But I thought St. Louis was
trying to win now. Why deal something
for a player that might be as
good as Shore? |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| J Carper |
|
|
| Wichita gets: |
|
|
| DET E2 |
|
|
| B Slynt |
|
|
| This is probably a pretty good
deal both ways. |
|
|
| Wichita gets: |
|
|
| SA E1 |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| B LiPetri |
|
|
| You know, until this deal
Wichita was still a really serious playoff contender. |
|
|
| Evansville

|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| P Calhoun |
|
|
| C Higgins |
|
|
| LI E3 |
|
|
| Long Island gets: |
|
|
| J Kennedy |
|
|
| Dallas had some tough luck in
the league's toughest division, and now we start to blow it up? |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs off the retired list: |
|
|
| B Mack |
|
|
| He's not all that good, but he
has been here before. |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| M Lee |
|
|
| R Marshall |
|
|
| 2009 E3 |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| T Maddox |
|
|
| D Madray |
|
|
| This is likely the first time
I could come on and say "Houston pantsed someone in a trade." And that's exactly what happened. Dallas should not be |
|
|
| panicking! They're in the toughest division in the
OIFL. Now, they have almost totally
crippled their playoff shot. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: |
|
|
| Jeremy's old coaching staff: |
|
|
| Spokane gets: |
|
|
| J Anderson |
|
|
| Okay then. I like this deal for Spokane. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| 2008 E2 |
|
|
| 2008 E5 |
|
|
| "future
considerations" |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| L Jackson |
|
|
| Why are you trading a young
future stud RB for something that might be as good next year as Jackson is
right now?! |
|
|
| Week 5
Transactions |
|
|
| Tucson loans
to Jacksonville: |
|
|
| A Stiles |
|
|
| Straight-up loan to get Stiles
playing time, and it'll give Jacksonville quite a bit of experience to help
Conduttori along. |
|
|
| Dallas signs: |
|
|
| H Olphert |
|
|
| I really thought he'd just
stay forever as one of those Mike Uhl specials as a pick that never did
anything anywhere else. |
|
|
| Jacksonville
loans: |
|
|
| D Keith (1) |
|
|
| D Burks (1) |
|
|
| S Johnson (2) |

|
|
| R Swift |
|
|
| T Strong |
|
|
| C Hollingsworth |
|
|
| F Martin |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain sends down: |
|
|
| K von Stieger (1) |
|
|
| Do these moves really help an
already depth-starved team? |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: |
|
|
| R Tanner |
|
|
| Spokane gets: |
|
|
| J Strong |
|
|
| K Eans |
|
|
| STL E2 |
|
|
| Tanner has a promising future
if he gets groomed well. Sauk could do
that. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: |
|
|
| H Watson |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| $50K |
|
|
| Watson is a solid #2 for right
now. |
|
|
| Baltimore
sends down: |
|
|
| P Herrington |
|
|
| B Gaither |
|
|
| M Locke |
|
|
| Central Iowa
gets: |
|
|
| M Bell |
|
|
| W Pless |
|
|
| E6-10 |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| S Weisgarber |
|
|
| Rt. Gardner |
|
|
| Mr. Irrelevant on the
move! Weisgarber has the better and
longer future, but Bell is one of the best DSs in OIFL history. |
|
|
| Wichita gets: |
|
|
| ARK E1 |
|
|
| J Carper |
|
|
| TEX E2 |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| $600K |
|
|
| G Norman |
|
|
| It's not every day you see a
former MVP…that was also THE focus of his team…traded. If Tucson can parlay Norman's career and
history |
|
|
| into how good a player he
should still be today, the Scorpions just became a big time OIFLCup
contender. |
|
|
| Week Four
Transactions |
|
|
| Texas
gets: (from Spokane) |
|
|
| C Peach |
|
|
| S Watt |
|
|
| Portland gets: (from Texas) |
|
|
| POR E3 |
|
|
| Spokane gets: (from Portland) |
|
|
| R Wray |
|
|
| J Stanfield |
|
|
| Texas probably got the best of
this deal here, as Jason Maher just hasn't been getting it done. Peach is one of the league's best. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| ROS E2 |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: |
|
|
| D Seve |
|
|
| TUC E4 |
|
|
| J Wile |
|
|
| The E2 is a good price to pay
for a team that's going to be building a bunch in 2008, but Seve and Wile
will ease that pain a whole lot. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| T Law |
|
|
| Spokane gets: |
|
|
| J MacLagan |
|
|
| E5 |
|
|
| Law has a lot of experience,
and as such probably is worth more than a kicker and an E5. But, Spokane really kinda needs a kicker
right now. |
|
|
| Week Three
Transactions |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: |
|
|
| Z Lalty |
|
|
| Depth needed for the Rush. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
signs: |
|
|
| K von Stieger |
|
|
| Bamiyi's always been on and
off, so the experienced second-year kicker may get a look. |
|
|
| Tucson signs: |
|
|
| B Fike |
|
|
| Another home for Fike. |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: |
|
|

|
|
| He probably won't see much
time. |
|
|
| St. Louis

|
|
| MOB E2 |
|
|
| E6-14 |
|
|

| Probably a fair trade. |
|
|

|
| Q Ammons |
|
|
| D Kramer |
|
|
| NH E4 |
|
|
| 15% of Kramer's salary
($84,000) |
|
|
| New Hampshire gets: |
|
|
| S Scolari |
|
|
| M Sharits |
|
|
| L Turner |
|
|
| This will help depth for New
Hampshire, probably. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| $88K |
|
|
| New Hampshire gets: |
|
|
| J Handy |
|

|
|
| Spokane cuts: |
|
|
| J West |
|
|
| West may find a home in the
OIF2. |
|
|
| Evansville
loans to Wichita |
|
|
| R Pennington |
|
|
| Wichita gives as
compensation: $600K |
|
|
| If Pennington goes back to
Evansville without injury, Wichita gets $500K back. |
|
|
| Vancouver
Island gets: |
|
|
| M Trask |
|
|
| Spokane gets: |
|
|
| STL E5 |
|
|
| E6-4 |
|
|
| 2009 SPO E3,4,5 |
|
|
| That's a lot of low picks for
a guy who may be worth more than that. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| P Marntos |
|
|
| Spokane gets: |
|
|
| C Martin |
|
|
| This probably works out both
ways, giving both teams something they need. |
|
|
| Connecticut

|
|

|
|
| B Johnson |

|
|
| B Christopher |
|
|
| They do need some depth, and
these guys will provide it, though hopefully they don't have to play that
much. |
|
|
| Central Iowa
signs: |
|
|
| J Anderson |
|
|
| Older, he does have a fair
amount of starting experience, though you don't want him starting too much in
today's OIFL. |

in case Maddox gets broken like others this year. |
|

| Fields becomes a starter
instantly for this downtrodden team. |

| Yes, they need defense. |
|
|
| Spokane signs: |

|
| Long Island
signs: |

something the Mean Machine kinda lack in some areas. |

|
| LA E2 |
|
|
| $410K |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: |
|
|
| A Ogden |
|
|
| C Hoxie |
|
|
| Hoxie's the one the Vengeance
wanted, for sure. But Ogden's a good
insurance policy. |

Update |
|
|
| Arkansas
signs: |

|
| A good veteran to have around;
Arkansas is slowly getting better. |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: |
|
|
| E Haskins |
|
|
| An interesting prospect. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| R Johnson |
|
|
| J Whittaker |
|
|
| Johnson is another interesting
prospect. Whittaker probably projects
to an OS. |
|
|
| Rosemont
signs: |
|
|
| W Stallworth |
|
|
| L Cypret |
|
|
| They always like to have spare
parts hiding somewhere on the back burners. |

|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| TUC E4 |
|
|
| J Wile |
|
|
| San Francisco gets: |
|
|

|
|
| It will be hard for the Sharks
to trade stuff to get anything of significant value, but Brooks is a good
veteran to add. |

| Hayhurst and the 2 is probably
a great deal for Evansville for LaCrosswell…and then you add Ranke to it… |

|
| R Herbert |

|
|
| If Duffy traded like this when
he owned the Daggers, he might have the best franchise in OIFL history
instead of Mike Uhl. |
|
|
| Lincoln signs: |
|
|
| M Bruckman |
|
|
| Always have to have extra
depth, even if it's not so good…better than someone out of position. |
|

signs: |

|
|
| C Rieves |

|
| Rieves and the E4 tip this

|
|
| Tampa Bay

|
|
| K Sick |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: |
|
|
| TB E2 |
|
|
| TB E4 |
|
|
| This replaces Sick with the
2/4, which still makes the Leslie/Knight trade questionable. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: |
|
|
| C Mace |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| R Cabreda |
|
|
| San Antonio paid a premium,
but Mace is the rock this line desperately needed. |
|
|
| Note: This deal will be reflected immediately,
but Mace and Cabreda will be on their former teams for Pre-1. |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: |
|
|
| R Clinton |
|
|
| Vancouver Island gets: |
|
|

|
| 2009 ROS E1 E2 E3 |
|
|
| 2009 POR E3 E4 |
|
|
| Hi, this is a blockbuster
deal. Mintz is the obvious star of
this thing, and he gives Rosemont a bona fide run game that may propel them
to an OIFLCup win. |
|
|
| Note: This deal will be reflected immediately,
but the players will be on their former teams for Pre-1. |

Norman Leslie, especially if the team's rebuilding. |
|
|

|
|
| J Colombo |
|
|
| Fort McMurray gets: |
|
|
| STL E1 |
|
|
| TUC E4 |
|
|
| This is a bit of an overpay
for a guy that's never proven anything on an OIFL field. |
|

|
| F Pilarowski |
|
|
| Fort Mac is getting more and
more picks, but their high draft slot is going to be wasted by the fact they
don't have any of their own picks anymore. |

| Fort McMurray
gets: |
|
|
| TEX E3 |
|
|
| VAN E4 |
|
|
| Texas gets: |
|

|
|
| McCoy isn't going to win Texas
a title, but he's probably worth an E3 and E4 for his championship experience
in Detroit. |
|
|
| May 27, 2007
Update |
|
|
| St. Louis
signs: |
|
|
| P Singla |
|
|
| Singla is a pretty fair
DS/DL/LB type player, and he does that one thing well. St. Louis needs guys that do things well. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| L Plokz |
|
|
| Starkey has always scared
people, so this isn't a shock. |
|
|
| Lincoln signs: |
|
|
| P Muelker |
|
|
| Muelker was always a DS, but
the Lightning see him as a backup OLDL, which could give him four extra years
in the OIFL. |
|
|
| May 25, 2007
Update |
|
|
| Houston signs: |
|
|
| B Pohlad |
|
|
| Houston cuts: |
|
|
| K Blakely |
|
|
| A huge upgrade at the QB2 spot
for the Marshals. Now if their starter
goes down to injury, they won't have to worry about a completely untested |
|
|
| pivot coming in to play a
half-season. |
|
|
| Memphis signs: |
|
|
| S Sargent |
|
|
| It's not like Alex to bring in
the poor player with some leadership skills.
Maybe that's why they haven't gotten over the hump? |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| STL E3 |
|
|
| D Feist |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| M Ruddick |
|
|
| G Peterson |
|
|
| I don't like giving up a
superstar DS here for a pretty good one, but the line help is desperately
needed, even if he couldn't get to the early 2001 Townsville |
|
|
| quarterbacks with too much
regularity. |
|
|
| St. Louis
cuts: |
|
|
| B Kaufman |
|
|
| Middling quarterbacks
certainly aren't worth what middling OLDL are… |

|
|
| E Chappelle |
|
|
| B Reeves |
|
|
| 2008 CC E1 |
|
|
| Okay. That's a statement. Corpus Christi, though it cost them a great
young OLDL, is going to finally pound the football some. Riptide fans can really |
|
|
| start getting excited about a
playoff shot now. |

Update |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| L Jackson |
|
|
| Evansville gets: |
|
|
| SF E2 |
|
|
| Likely the San Fran E2 will be
higher than the 32nd pick (Jackson), but Omaha needs talent now, and Jackson
with just one good camp could be a |
|
|
| star RB/LB. Omaha doesn't have many stars anywhere, so
this is a good move. |

In 2003 in Fort Mac, he had possibly the best defense the OIFL has

Now they need a line, but this team has a shot. |

|

| LA E1 (LA) |
|
|
| MM E1 (MM) |
|
|
| And the picks turned into a
star RB, a big time OLDL, and still a really high pick. Yep, Mean Machine are thisclose to
contending in the whole East. |
|
|
| But what about the other
teams? Los Angeles dumps Baltzell and
a couplea E1s for better E1s (one of which will be QB James Law). |
|
|
| Baltzell was on his way to
becoming a star, and now he's relegated to "Slash" status where
he's a backup QB/RB. |
|
|
| Tucson then gets rid of Dozer
and Colombo, a great 1-2 punch, in order to pick up a "Slash" that
probably won't be happy with his role. |

|
| Starting to dig a little bit
deeper than they'd have liked, I'm sure. |
|
|
| Tucson signs: |
|
|
| M Franz |
|
|
| Pretty good example of an
overreaction, but Franz has botched big kicks before. |
|
|
| He's probably in his best role
here, as a solid backup. |
|
|
| Houston signs: |
|

|
| J Carper |
|
|
| R Gardner |
|
|
| Two good depth pieces that can
start some for Omaha for the rookie sensation that gets bounced around |

|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| A James |
|
|
| Don't cringe too much…James
may have "WOW!" block/blitz numbers, but there are holes. That said, Tucson has a pretty |
|
|
| darn good line around him to
help cover those holes up. Moesly
gives Tampa Bay two pretty good things here. |
|
|
| One, he is a tight end/RB
option. Two, he played in Mobile for
years… |

|
| D Williams |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| $100K |
|
|
| A true "rebuilding"
trade for the Rush. Kind-of…trading
the rookie (Romano) still makes little sense. |

| Louisiana gets: |
|
|
| T Quick |
|
|

|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| OMA R3 |

superstar written all over him…this move does surprise me. |

|
| $125K |
|
|
| Louisiana gets: |
|
|
| M Irati |
|
|
| Irati is a good complementary
player…not paid like a star, and Louisiana didn't pay as if he were a star. |
|
|
| Which is good, because he's
not. |
|

|
|
| Okay, I may be mean to these
poor guys, but come on…they're not that good. |
|
|
| I bring back
out of retirement: |
|
|
| B Arledge |
|
|
| I gave him marginally better
ratings, too, so people may sign him.
I only did it because he called my wife after she sent in a |
|
|
| resume to this counseling
place. Good omen, daggone it…I must
say, living in Akron after using these guys from a phone book, |
|

| These two are quickly becoming
masters of trades that don't exactly do much. |

|
|
| OMA E5, E6, E7 |
|
|
| Blockbuster trade here,
Connecticut decides they need a power back to compete in this division. |
|
|
| This leaves them with merely
five first rounders in next year's draft. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: |
|
|
| S Walters |
|
|
| 2007 E4 |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| B Boyd |
|
|
| C Gilroy |

beefy, but he's also very raw. |

|
|
| $175K |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| B Woodcock |
|
|
| T Cormier |
|
|
| I think this deal helps both,
though Woodcock is a big blow to Houston's line. It's obvious they're looking for another
weapon |
|
|
| for Sauk and the pass game
here, though. |

| S Kolt |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: |
|
|
| P Bucar |
|
|
| Bucar's quite a bit more
expensive, but he probably fits into the St. Louis system better as a
blitzing DS. |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| G Rogers |
|
|
| San Francisco gets: |
|
|
| O Thompson |
|
|
| L Martin |
|
|
| Usually, the team that gets
the "easily best player" in a deal is the clear-cut winner. But I think both teams benefit here. |
|
|
| San Francisco finally gets a
speedy defensive backfield guy that can make plays on opposing passing teams,
something |
|
|
| Tim Campbell has never ever ever ever ever had since
he joined in 2002. Houston gets
another big beefy guy to help out |
|
|
| their pass game, but Thompson
is hardly a slouch. Oh yeah, San Fran
saves a boatload of money, too. |

|
|
| Rosemont gets: |

| B Kaufman |
|
|
| M Limoli |
|
|
| Yawner of a deal, but it gives
the Horizons at least one player from every OIFLCup winning team, which was
their point. |
|
|
| 2001 Rochester Rampage - Matt
Limoli |
|
|
| 2002 Miami Maulers - Chris

|
| J Wensely |
|
|
| P Gill |
|
|
| M Martin |
|
|
| Kennedy was probably the kind
of player you'd want to build a fledgling franchise around, so trading him
like this makes very |
|
|
| little sense to me. Wensely and Gill are fine players, but the
move still confuses me. |
|
|
| Minneapolis
signs: |
|
|
| D Keith |

|
|
| Surprising shuffle of some of
the league's best young talent. Dodge

|
|
| K Leperton |
|
|
| Strange deal for Arkansas, but
it improves their passing game. Brooks
is an adequate running back. |
|
|
| Omaha gets what will probably
be their starting RBLB for the rest of the year…not that Mike Lee can keep a
job anywhere. |

|
|
| Dallas may have the best of
this…I like Krypell, Delighten, Carter, and Hay. Wells can turn into something big, as can |
|
|
| Kelvin St. Pierre. Mean Machine probably get the best of the
deal, with the huge RB upgrade in Paull for relatively little |

Salazar. |
|
|
| Cincinnati
cuts: |
|
|
| M Hooker |
|
|
| T Reilly |

| Reilly's experience makes this
a questionable move, but I'm not that worried about it. |
|
|
| Arkansas cuts: |
|
|
| R Pecchio |
|

| D Hamblen (DET) - what? |
|
|
| E Griffin (ORL) |

|
|
| For the here and now, Omaha
gets the better of the deal. Los
Angeles is technically rebuilding, and they just might get |

deal (especially after Ranke and Smith retire). |

pickup that may eventually start. |

| Central Iowa

test for the kicking spot in Fort Dodge…I look for him to be the starter
there. |
|
|
| Central Iowa
signs: |

|
|
| A great deal for New

|
|
| Yeah, don't sign marginal guys

|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| J Carper |
|
|
| Carper is obviously the star
of this deal right now, unless Omaha can hit a sleeper…that said, there will
still be a few players |
|
|
| in the draft that can be
worked with to become halfway decent without sleeper shots. |

signs: |

|
|
| Rebuilding team…I said he'd be
picked up by one. Don't expect much
out of this guy till about 2008. |
|

2006 UPDATE |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| T Brumfeld |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| M Hoper |
|
|
| Hoper has extensive experience
in abnormal offenses, and that Gargoyles offense can certainly be that at times. |
|
|
| Omaha cuts: |
|
|
| S Sindelspacher |
|
|
| No shock here, but I expect
Sindelspacher to get picked up for work by a rebuilding-type team. |
|
|
| Memphis gets: |
|
|
| A Murphy |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| E3-31 |
|
|
| E6-29 |
|
|
| Omaha pared a little salary

| K Kline |
|
|
| T LaTourette |
|
|
| E3-8 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: |
|
|
| K Sick |
|
|
| Baltimore gets the all around
player of the OIFL, but I like Houston's side better. Kline could be a speed burning star, and |
|
|
| the kicker is no slouch. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| E3-11 |

|

|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| 2007 KC E1 |

|
|
| Purely speculative move, as
Lincoln is going for sleepers…I think KC coulda used these picks, though, to
bolster their defense. |
|

|

| 2007 E2 |
|
|
| 2007 E3 |

|
| San Angelo gets: |
|
|
| $100K |
|
|
| Not a good move for San
Angelo. They don't need cash. They need players. |
|

|
|
| E6-18 |
|
|
| $50K |
|
|
| Tucson is pretending to be in
a transitionary mode while rebuilding for 2007, but bringing in a really hungry Ray Lewis doesn't |
|
|
| tell me this is true. This team just might surprise someone now. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: |
|
|
| $175K |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| G Peterson |
|
|
| Just a sign-and-trade, and San
Antonio got more than Lincoln's giving up for multiple players. |

|
|
| E4-20 |
|
|
| E4-31 |
|
|
| KC's 2007 E1 |
|
|
| Omaha gives up what amounts to
very little (as I feel Lambert isn't much of a dropoff, especially on
offense) and gets quite a bit back. |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| R Moesly |
|
|
| Mobile gets: |
|
|
| L Monroe |
|
|
| The long-time Seamen running
back is gone…let's see what happens. |
|
|
| Central Iowa
cuts: |
|
|
| B Oberholtzer |
|
|
| C Koltas |

tough divisions. I'd say everyone got
something out of this. |

| M Stevens |
|
|
| H Blackmon |
|
|
| 2007 E3 |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| T North |
|
|
| North, despite being the
OIFL's 2005 leading rusher, didn't really do anything for KC, so he was certainly expendable. |
|
|
| Stevens will start, and
Blackmon will get some playing time in his absence. |

|
|
| J Cant |
|
|
| M Jacobs |
|
|
| C Sanders |
|
|
| The E1 was the do-it for Los
Angeles…this is a salary dump otherwise. |
|
|
| Memphis gets: |
|
|
| J Paul |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| C Harbaugh |
|
|
| Paul is going to be Avery's
blocking back, while Cody Harbaugh gets a shot to be the franchise's power
runner again. |
|
|
| Orlando gets: |
|
|
| T Pitts |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| 2007 E4 |
|

well, saves the Horizons big bucks and gets them a sleeper shot next year. |

|
|
| New England wanted the
established, LA wanted a couplea sleepers.
New England, it had been said, only needed a good run game |
|
|
| and they could be an OIFLCup
VI contender. Mike Uhl opened up
another bottle of scotch somewhere… |

| Evansville gets: |
|
|
| E4-39 |

|
|
| R Lewis |
|
|
| Lee isn't getting any younger,

| L Monroe |
|
|
| To get a weakness solved, you
sometimes have to use strong pieces.
Houston is very high on Lavar Monroe as their RB, |
|
|
| so this is probably a move
that has to be made. I don't like
losing Delighten all that much, though. |

|
|
| Omaha will get a better
player, but I think Connecticut got a better deal. |

|
|
| $200K if D1-22 (Parry Marntos)
makes all star game in 2006 or 2007 |
|
|
| $250K if Omaha makes the
playoffs in 2006 or 2007 |
|

| Vegas likes developing rookie
talent, so the E2-14 will do well for the defending champs. |

| B Starr |
|
|
| R Williams |
|
|
| Yes, they had to take some
really really really bad contracts, and yes, Corpus Christi is still way too
overpaid, but Orlando |
|
|
| has gotten to the point where
they may be able to compete for a playoff berth. |

|
|
| 2007 HOU E3 |
|
|

|
|

|
| That's REALLY expensive unless
Kyle Smith turns into a big name player. |

| New England
cuts: |
|
|
| J Judentry |
|
|
| F Martin |
|
|
| B Blaze |
|

|
|
| These guys may bring something
good to the teams that acquire them, but they weren't anywhere near New
England's useful list |
|
|
| anymore. |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| E3-11 |
|
|
| San Angelo gets: |
|
|
| J Stocco |
|
|
| An expansion team like this
can afford to get a couple of overpriced guys if they could help bring
legitimacy early on. |
|
|
| Dallas, though, should have
tried to trade the guy out of the division. |

|
| K Pung |
|
|
| K Lawhorne |
|
|
| D1-19 |
|
|
| This deal shows two things,
and it does so fairly effectively.
One, it shows Connecticut is going to try to rebuild in what is just |
|
|
| a tough, tough division. Two, it shows Houston is gunning for
playoff money in a pretty easy division. |

| Houston upgrades their RBLB
game with Beckwith, easily…but I think Syrone Turner is the star of this

like that. |

Moose is a good player. I think
Connecticut will do better, though. |

|
|
| Arkansas
signs: |

|
| Zimmerman is a nice pickup for
this team, he will bring them a nice backup QB slot, may even challenge to
start. |
|
|
| Baltimore

| With as screwed up as the
drafting can go, there's nothing wrong with getting a more proven commodity
with the 44th pick. |
|
|
| Mean Machine
get: |
|
|
| 2007 E1 (or D1 if there's a
dispersal)…$100K if the pick isn't in the top 10 (from TUC) |
|
|
| E5-24 (from TUC) |
|
|
| C Londeree (from ROS) |
|
|
| G Beckwith (from ROS) |
|
|
| S Freeman (from ROS) |
|
|
| Roesmont gets: |
|
|
| D1-55 (MM) |
|
|
| E1-12 (MM) |
|
|
| $250K (plus another $250K when
they get it) (from TUC) |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| E1-5 |
|
|
| Interesting deal. The Mean Machine are certainly putting off
next year's stuff to get some fair pieces today, though I think |
|
|
| keeping the E1-12 would have
worked better. But this isn't a bad
deal…those guys will get some serious playing time. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: |
|
|
| E1-20 |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: |
|
|
| E6-26 |
|
|
| E7-27 |
|
|
| E8-8 |
|
|
| $1.35M |
|
|
| More cash to help ease the
move…the three picks may also hit a sleeper, but not much else from that. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| E1-13 |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| $2.5M |
|

| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| E3-11 |
|
|
| E4-8 |
|
|
| E2-7 |
|
|
| Orlando gets: |
|
|
| B Gianchetti |
|
|
| T Dunlap |
|
|
| B Phillips |
|
|
| Quite expensive for guys who
were going to be free agents anyways, but Orlando is trying to stock the
roster as quickly as possible. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| E2-15 |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| T Remer |
|
|
| Remer will greatly improve all
the facets of the abysmal Kansas City defense…and he's a pretty fair
offensive player, too. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| J Cullen |
|
|
| D Butel |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| D1-30 |
|
|
| E1-31 |
|
|
| E3-9 |
|
|
| Great move for Omaha, as they
get a strong power runner in Cullen (though he does need work) and a big play
threat in Dean |
|
|
| Butel, and big cash for three
picks that may or may not net Arkansas players as good as these. |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| E1-35 |
|
|
| E2-15 |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| D Tickner |
|
|
| D1-20 |
|
|
| E5-21 |
|
|
| Rebuilding is supposed to
bring better talent for the future to a team.
This is an idiotic trade. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| M Bell |
|
|
| E4-28 |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| S McCoullaugh |
|
|
| $50K |
|
|
| I thought Houston was getting
better…this move shows a regression, even though McCoullaugh isn't that bad. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| D1-13 |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets: |
|
|
| D1-20 |
|
|
| D1-55 |
|
|
| E4-28 |
|
|
| E5-20 |
|
|
| $100K |
|
|
| Smart move by
Minneapolis. The D1-20 will get some
talent, and the entry picks will bring them fair AND CHEAP players. |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| B Brooks |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: |
|
|
| E3-9 |
|
|
| Fair trade both ways…but I
think I'd of kept Brooks. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay

| Tucson gets: |

| Another poor rebuilding
trade…but oh well. |
|

| A James |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| R Coop |
|
|
| O Thompson |
|

trade Houston made… |

|
|
| J Stocco |
|

| $119,392.30… |

|
|
| Doxen better win Memphis a
title at that price. |
|

| Kansas City
gets: |

|
| $250K |
|
|
| L Bernstein |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| R6 |
|
|
| R Andrews |
|
|
| Only way this really really
hurts the Thunderkats is if that 6th rounder hits a sleeper. |
|
|
| New England
gets: |
|
|
| D1 (Houston) |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| D Brown |
|
|
| Because these drafts can be so
unpredictable, Tucson felt it better to get the "established"
player…New England may win |
|
|
| the trade, but it won't be by
a landslide. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: |
|
|
| $75K |
|
|
| Orlando gets: |
|
|
| T Farrington |
|
|
| Maybe a little expensive, but
a pretty good start for the Thunder. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| D1-8 |
|
|
| Orlando gets: |
|
|
| D1-32 |
|
|
| E2-22 |
|
|
| H Sluman |
|
|
| Though none of these guys will
be as good as the D1-8 player LA will get, they will also not be as
expensive…something |
|
|
| of good value to an expansion
team. A pretty fair deal. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: |
|
|
| B Britton |
|
|
| R7 |
|
|
| $5K |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| T Edeth |
|
|
| N Vanderbrockland |
|
|
| With smallish deals like
these, the team that got the best player likely won. Edeth is probably the best player here… |
|
|
| Central Iowa
gets: |
|
|
| F Borrello |
|
|
| W Henry |
|
|
| B Chopko |
|
|
| C Longworth |
|
|
| E3-5 |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| D1-12 |
|
|
| E2-10 |
|
|
| Yeah, it's a little expensive,
but Central Iowa gets some players with some value, and an early 3rd rounder
for those picks. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| D1-24 |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| C Rhea |
|
|
| $8081.26… |
|
|
| Strange cash amount, but
Tucson wanted to get to an even $400K.
Rhea for the D1-24 will prove to be a pretty even deal. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
gets: |
|
|
| D1-19 |
|
|
| E4-20 |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: |
|
|
| M Inabinett |
|
|
| J Duffy |
|
|
| Duffy provides Tampa Bay with
the burner they need to compete with Mobile and Memphis. Inabinett now has a shot to shine |
|
|
| without the specter of Chad
Scott hanging over him on defense. |
|
|
| Mean Machine
gets: |
|
|
| D McCallister |
|
|
| T O'Donahue |
|
|
| J Briston |
|
|
| E Klein |
|
|
| D1-22 |
|
|
| $25K |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: |
|
|
| D1-9 |
|
|
| This isn't the greatest thing
since sliced bread for sure, but the Mean Machine acquire four useable parts
and a little cash for a |
|
|
| 13-spot drop in the dispersal
draft…which could be a heck of a drop in talent level. |
|
|
| Memphis gets: |
|
|
| D1-1 |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| E1-5 |
|
|
| $200K |
|
|
| D Ross |
|
|
| S Freeman |
|
|
| L Monroe |
|
|
| B Rosa |
|
|
| Rosemont got some good
players, a great pick, and a little cash for what basically amounts to a
slight drop in draft pick, |
|
|
| coupled with the fact that
they'll get a rookie rather than some established veteran. Rosemont is going to scare some people. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| $40K |
|
|
| Orlando gets: |
|
|
| E Schikowski |
|
|
| Another cheap addition to the
roster, he'll make the 30-man when the season starts…but if they depend on
him to start, |
|
|
| well…I can already see Mobile
and Memphis drooling. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| B Lintner |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: |
|
|
| E1-23 |
|
|
| E7-5 |
|
|
| E7-32 |
|
|
| Interesting trade, this one
gets a guaranteed good good player to Los Angeles with a pretty good one to
SA and two |
|
|
| sleeper shots. Which of course is how the Rattlers got
Shelton Warren… |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| D1-35 |
|
|
| E3-35 |
|
|
| Mobile gets: |

gets two decent players for one pretty decent one. |

|
| A Carter |
|
|
| 2006 E1-35 |
|
|
| 2007 E1 |
|
|
| $300K |
|
|
| Mobile gets: |
|
|
| D1-5 |
|
|
| Mobile must really want that
5th pick in the dispersal draft… |
|
|
| Central Iowa
gets: |
|
|

|
|
| E6-30 |
|
|
| C Koltas |

|
|
| Omaha gets: |

|
| E1-10 |
|
|
| E3-10 |
|
|
| E7-7 |
|
|
| I don't like the Primetime
losing the E1, but the cash will let them make a splash in free agency. |
|
|
| Connecticut
gets: |
|
|
| V Workman |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: |
|
|
| $37K |
|

Durgis Mackwellston. |

| E3-8 |
|
|
| E5-10 |
|
|
| Mean Machine gets: |
|
|
| R Westmoreland |
|
|
| $10K |
|
|
| I'd say that the expansion
team has its fill of offensive specialists…Westy's a good pickup. |
|
|
| Orlando gets: |
|
|
| E1-somewhere in there |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| Good deal, move down a few
slots and get FA cash. |

| E1-11 |

|
| New Orleans gets: |
|
|
| D1-35 |
|
|
| E2-26 |
|
|
| T McGrath |
|
|
| T Gardner |
|
|
| They better hit big with those
later draft picks, because McGrath and Gardner are no more than backups. |
|

|
|
| E2-6 |
|
|
| E3-6 |

|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: |
|
|
| J Paul |
|
|
| Strange, I didn't get the memo
that Jeff Paul was a superstar. But if
he can mold into one, this is a big time deal for Rocky Mountain. |

| B Arledge |

| St. Louis
gets: |
|
|
| C Bohl |
|
|
| San Francisco gets: |
|
|
| $10K |
|

| Great deal for the Rush, as
they get a guy who can start for a team like St. Louis…on the very cheap. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| M Jacobs |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: |
|
|
| $50K |
|
|
| LA is still building towards a
pretty strong roster, while Baltimore no longer has Jacobs in their plans. |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: |
|
|
| T Pitts |
|
|
| Kind of a surprising move, as
Pitts wasn't expensive…nor was he that bad a player. |
|

| J Kaleo |
|
|
| B Bolin |
|
|
| Kansas City gets: |
|
|
| M O'Donnell |
|
|
| Arkansas E3 |
|
|
| Corpus D1 |
|
|
| TERRIBLE move for Kansas
City…you don't get rid of a talent like Bolin, even if he's a bit
pricey. Corpus does a LOT to solidify |
|
|
| themselves as a legitimate
OIFL team here. |
|
|
| Kansas City
gets: |
|
|
| $650K |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| D1 |
|
|
| I think letting the excitement
of OIFL football and some good first-year attendance generating income would
have been a |
|
|
| better plan than the fire sale
and what may be a 1-15 team in KC. |

| If they can resign Butel,
Arkansas could get the big bucks out of this deal, though I'm interested to
see what LA |

| can pull with that D1 pick. |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |

|
|
| K Smith |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| J Carper |
|
|
| S Parent |
|
|
| A pretty good deal both ways,
both get players that will be used in about the same way as what they gave
up. I'm interested |

|
|
| Connecticut gets: |

|
|

real OIFL roster continues…Connecticut is the by-far #2 team in the
northeast, and is |

knock off New England when they travel to Cresley-land. |

|
| E1 |
|
|
| If you want to compare this to
the D1 pick they traded away, then book the Mounties for an OIFLCup VI
appearance. |
|
|
| Otherwise…this deal is merely
average, unless Adgate becomes a superstar (which he is capable of). |

|
|
| Las Vegas gets: |
|
|
| $15K |
|
|
| Not exactly the biggest of
trades here, either… |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| T Saxer |
|
|
| W Drown |
|
|
| Mobile gets: |
|
|
| $40K |
|
|
| Two pretty solid players that
will log significant playing time for Tucson on the cheap. |
|
|
| DECEMBER 27,
2005 UPDATE |
|
|
| And a happy
new year. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| A Mickles |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: |
|
|
| $25K |
|
|
| Solid deal for Tucson, as they
get a decent lineman on the cheap. |
|
|
| Memphis gets: |
|
|
| G Shankland |
|
|
| K Smith |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| J Carper |
|
|
| S Parent |
|
|
| A pretty good deal both ways,
both get players that will be used in about the same way as what they gave
up. I'm interested |
|
|
| to see what Memphis does with
a burner like Shankland. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| NH's R3 |
|
|
| Two NH R4's |
|
|
| New Hampshire gets: |
|
|
| M Bright |
|
|
| A good deal for New Hampshire,
as they get an established player that really isn't all that bad. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| D1 |
|
|
| $125K |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| F Delighten |
|
|
| J Wensely |
|
|
| And the building towards a
real OIFL roster continues…Connecticut is the by-far #2 team in the
northeast, and is |
|
|
| slowly becoming a threat to
knock off New England when they travel to Cresley-land. |
|
|
| New Hampshire
gets: |
|
|
| T Adgate |
|
|
| P Bright |
|
|
| T Evans |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| If you want to compare this to
the D1 pick they traded away, then book the Mounties for an OIFLCup VI
appearance. |
|
|
| Otherwise…this deal is merely
average, unless Adgate becomes a superstar (which he is capable of). |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| R Johnson (Mob) |
|
|
| B Bees (Ros) |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| G Beckwith (Evl) |
|
|
| J Wardrick (Mob) |
|
|
| C Londeree (Evl) |
|
|
| Mobile gets: |
|
|
| $200K (Evl) |
|
|
| 2007 E1 (Ros) |
|
|
| How did Mobile get a first
round pick in any draft for Ron Johnson and Jim Wardrick? |
|
|
| DECEMBER 22,
2005 UPDATE |
|
|
| Have a Merry
Christmas. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| $700K |
|
|
| R2 |
|
|
| R3 |
|
|
| R7 |
|
|
| C Higgins |
|
|
| M Garbinsky |
|
|
| Dodge City gets: |
|
|
| C Wier |
|
|
| D James |
|
|
| The players Tucson got here
will probably outdo the old stalwart in Wier that the Daggers got back. $700K doesn't hurt, either. |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| S Mahoney |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| $100K |
|
|
| S Jackson |
|
|
| Pretty even deal here. Probably neither guy will play much if
either team wants a real playoff shot. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| G Brown |
|
|
| Las Vegas gets: |
|
|
| 2007 E2 |
|
|
| P Muelker |
|
|
| J Price |
|
|
| Germaine Brown will be playing
on and off with John Alexander no more…Rosemont gets a top-tier OS here. |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| Fresno R4 |
|
|
| CC R5 |
|
|
| $25K |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| P Reese |
|
|
| Reese isn't a superstar, but I
do think he's worth a 3rd round pick…Arkansas should, though, get a couple |
|
|
| of contributors with those
picks…maybe even a sleeper. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| B Blix |
|
|
| Evansville gets: |
|
|
| J Weiss |
|
|
| Los Angeles improves the
roster a little bit with this deal…though it's not like either player will
ever become an OIFL hall-of-famer. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| D1 |
|
|
| New Hampshire gets: |
|
|
| M Baran |
|
|
| I Ajoku |
|
|
| $50K |
|
|
| future considerations (but not
that much, don't worry) |
|
|
| Tucson: This didn't come out of our travel fund. |
|
|
| Me: Oh. |
|
|
| Tucson: Yeah, I was able to raise 25 extra bucks
before we left. |
|
|
| Me: Where did you get 25 extra bucks? |
|
|
| Tucson: I sold some stuff, to Billy Enforsee. |
|
|
| Me: The blind kid? |
|
|
| Tucson: (Laughing)
Yeah, yeah. |
|
|
| Me: What did you sell him Garrie? |
|
|
| Tucson: You know, stuff. |
|
|
| Me: What kind of stuff? |
|
|
| Tucson: Few baseball cards, a sack of marbles,
(coughs) Petey. |
|
|
| Me: Petey?
You sold my dead bird to a blind kid?
Garrie, wh- he- wha- Petey
didn't even have a head! |
|
|
| Tucson: Josh, I took care of it. |
|
|
| Somewhere, New Hampshire is
petting a bird with its head taped on… |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| D1 |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| I think the Rush undersold
themselves here, but they need cash and got an infusion. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| Fresno D1 (if it is #1 overall
pick) |
|
|
| Fresno gets: |
|
|
| STL D1 (if it is #3 overall) |
|
|
| J Garlett |
|
|
| A Peach |
|
|
| $50K |
|
|
| The deal won't be killed if
those two stipulations aren't correct…it will be changed to meet both owners'
happiness. |
|
|
| This gives Fresno what is
still a big time talent, and two good players behind it…and some cash. Good call both ways. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| M Bright |
|
|
| Wichita gets: |
|
|
| V Mains |
|
|
| Good move for Evansville…not
sure why Wichita needs an OS over an experienced backup OLDL. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: |
|
|
| S Butz |
|
|
| T Castle |
|
|
| T Joseph |
|
|
| K Chudobiack |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets |
|
|
| $5.011M |
|
|
| I'm having troule figuring out
what I really think of this trade. But
I think this is best for Minneapolis.
They were straddled with |
|
|
| terrible contracts and one
terrible move…now they are in a new home, with a new start, with a pretty
even salary line. |
|
|
| And now, they are in a
position to rebuild the way Charlie Nelson wants them to. I guess I can live with that. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| T Knight |
|
|
| Minneapolis gets |
|
|
| $125K |
|
|
| Another deal where the
Mustangs get rid of a questionable contract for some cash, though I think
Knight is worth more than this. |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| S Britnall |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| $175K |
|
|
| Safe move for Arkansas, a
fairly inexpensive piece to help shore up a line that will be porous against
Memphis and the like. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| T Doxen |
|
|
| H Sluman |
|
|
| S Walters |
|
|
| Wichita gets: |
|
|
| T Kiwi |
|
|
| J Cant |
|
|
| D McCallister |
|
|
| Wichita loses a little with
the superstar WRDB in Todd Doxen, but they do get an adequate backup RB
(McCallister), a pretty |
|
|
| good two-way receiver (Jason
Cant) who needs more seasoning, and a shut down corner in Kiwi. Los Angeles gets a |
|
|
| superstar threat for the deep
ball that few teams can stop…this looks to be a good trade both ways. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| $700K |
|
|
| I Fraught |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| S Ratliffe |
|
|
| J Pettit |
|
|
| D Gains |
|
|
| Each of those three help the
Cresleys become a more complete team in what may be the easiest division in
the OIFL. However, |
|
|
| Fraught is the best player in
the deal and $700K is way too much to spend on this. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| $50K |
|
|
| St. Louis gets: |
|
|
| M Randell |
|
|
| Pretty fair trade here. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| Arkansas' D1 |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| J Shidecker |
|
|
| C Thompson |
|
|
| Sure, the superstar factor
coulda come into play with Arkansas, but they have two guys who easily will
start |
|
|
| for them now. And they're both relatively inexpensive. |
|
|
| DECEMBER 8,
2005 UPDATE |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| L Dibbles |
|
|
| $100- |
|
|
| San Francisco gets: |
|
|
| J Kernan |
|
|
| J Correll |
|
|
| This deal is a bit
strange. I guess it's a wash, maybe
Dibbles is the best player here. No
clue. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| T Gardner |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| B Valvano |
|
|
| Tucson gets a little more
mobile in a QB, which they require, while Corpus gets a little better pocket
passer. |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
gets: |
|
|
| $15K |
|
|
| San Francisco gets: |
|
|
| D Ferguson |
|
|
| A Henderson |
|
|
| Some more depth building for
the Sharks…I think CG/StL could have gotten more for those two. |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| R Davis |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| J Stalker |
|
|
| This is only a good deal for
Houston if they plan to hand the ball off to the OS about 10-15 times a game. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| T Duda |
|
|
| Las Vegas gets: |
|
|
| $200K |
|
|
| I don't think the Sting need
any cash…Tucson gets a really good pocket passer, with a little mobility…Duda
will be their starter. |
|
|
| San Francisco
cuts: |
|
|
| J Horwitz |
|
|
| T Tyson |
|
|
| D Allevare |
|
|
| Nothing lost here…the Sharks
are much better than having to keep these guys now. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: |
|
|
| M Martin |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau gets: |
|
|
| MEM R5 |
|
|
| CC R7 |
|
|
| EARTH TO CORPUS CHRISTI: YOU NEED A LINE! Not a bad trade, though…Martin is certainly
worth a 5 and a 7. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| F Josten |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau gets: |
|
|
| S Riget |
|
|
| This is an interesting
deal. Josten will be a great backup in
many places for the Barracudas, while Riget becomes the starting OS |
|
|
| in Missouri. |
|
|
| To complete
future considerations from a previous deal…Corpus Christi gets from
Cincinnati: |
|
|
| R5 |
|
|
| $38K |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| D Schwalenberg |
|
|
| Seattle gets: |
|
|
| $20K |
|
|
| If they were staying in
Seattle, this would be a terrible move…you don't trade away the fan favorite,
even if he is the third |
|
|
| stringer. Since they're in Kansas City, who cares. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
gets: |
|
|
| G Jamison |
|
|
| A Anzune |
|
|
| 70K |
|
|
| R5 |
|
|
| Memphis gets |
|
|
| CC R1 |
|
|
| CC R3 |
|
|
| This is a decent deal for
Corpus. I think they coulda gotten
more for a 1 and a 3, but the bottom line is…they had no line |
|
|
| strength. NOTHING.
This gives them that. Jamison
and Anzune are both good linemen that will help Corpus in their change to |
|
|
| OIFL football. Memphis gets another R1, too. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| D Williams |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| C Sanders |
|
|
| I guess the blitzing DS is the
only thing Los Angeles needed…and they gave up a backup to get him. |
|
|
| Memphis gets |
|
|
| Ark R1 |
|
|
| Min R1 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| V Simecka |
|
|
| M Workman |
|
|
| Memphis acts like they're
rebuilding…but they're not. Los
Angeles is using their first rounders on first-round talent…that |
|
|
| just so happen to not actually
be in the draft list. Can't blame them
for that, either. |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| E6 |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| B Dockery |
|
|
| And the rebuild keeps going…a
6th round pick is only useful if they hit a sleeper. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
gets: |
|
|
| WIC R3 |
|
|
| $10K |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: |
|
|
| B Boyd |
|
|
| Boyd is a good investment for
a 3rd rounder…not sure he'll actually do much in the Baltimore system, but
he's a good player. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| C Davis |
|
|
| B Blix |
|
|
| Memphis gets: |
|
|
| D Kramer |
|
|
| $80K |
|
|
| Evansville gets two easy calls
to start in E-town (though Zo Jackson may be a little perturbed on the Blix
move)…Memphis gets |
|
|
| what…a backup RB/OL and some
cash they don't need? |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| J Bottrell |
|
|
| R5 |
|
|
| R6 |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| S McCoullaugh |
|
|
| Both are experienced RBs that
will cause some headaches for some teams.
Bottom line, both of these teams will have some |
|
|
| really tough games in their
divisions…and they're building to prepare for it. |
|
|
| NOVEMBER 2005 |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| J Anderson |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau gets: |
|
|
| $15K |
|
|
| Cape needs cash in a big way
with their likely move to St. Louis…but I'm not sure they can afford to get
rid |
|
|
| of any talent, as one-sided as
Jim Anderson is. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| D McKnight |
|
|
| Seattle gets: |
|
|
| D Wiedne |
|
|
| Seattle gets some depth while
Rosemont brings back a loaner that made some good contributions to their '05
season. |
|
|
| Seattle cuts: |
|
|
| L Jones |
|
|
| A Aman |
|
|
| I doubt anyone will mind the
loss of these two overpaid stiffs, though they'll find a home somewhere. |
|
|
| Granted…they won't be making a
combined $46,000 a week at that new home, but they'll find it. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
gets: |
|
|
| W Zjoe |
|
|
| $250K |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| S Britnall |
|
|
| T Remer |
|
|
| Remer is probably the star of
this deal, though I think Vegas may have gotten the better of it, as Wan Zjoe
can make plays |
|
|
| on both sides of the ball
himself…not sure why they wanted the quarter-million, though. |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| K Lawhorne |
|
|
| K Pung |
|
|
| R6 |
|
|
| Las Vegas gets: |
|
|
| J Marcius |
|
|
| It's a depth move, yes…not
sure a team like Houston should get rid of a good player like Joe Marcius,
but they need depth, |
|
|
| and this move will certainly
give them more of that. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| I Sanders |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: |
|
|
| $45K |
|
|
| Well, this certainly makes up
for the Jim Annette screwover. |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: |
|
|
| P Gill |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| J Weiss |
|
|
| Very quietly, the Thunder
Sharks are building what could become a powerhouse in the OIFL. |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| L James (LA) |
|
|
| M Bell (LA) |
|
|
| C Perrone (LA) |
|
|
| P Benney (LA) |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| D Butel (ROS) |
|
|
| D Schultz (HOU) |
|
|
| E1 (MIN-> from Houston) |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| B Rayburn (LA) |
|
|
| J Garlett (HOU) |
|
|
| S Mahoney (HOU) |
|
|
| Very interesting 3-way trade
here. LA gets Butel and Schultz back
together, and they pick up what will be a pretty |
|
|
| good first rounder. Rosemont gets what will be a star QB in
Rayburn, and two serviceable WRDBs.
Houston gets |
|
|
| one of the best deals they've
ever made, bringing in Logan James, youngsters Perrone and Benney, and one of
the |
|
|
| best cover corners in OIFL
history in Milo Bell. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| C Thompson (SA) |
|
|
| Memphis gets: |
|
|
| P Alexander (ROS) |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: |
|
|
| T Reynolds (MEM) |
|
|
| A Brookside (MEM) |
|
|
| Thompson is a backup in San
Antonio's system, so he's expendable for QB and RB depth, something they
need. |
|
|
| Danny May is too streaky, and
Dave Bomner can't hold up under that kind of work forever…Rosemont gets
another piece |
|
|
| of their defensive puzzle, and
Memphis has a decent QB that will either challenge Mizerak for the starting
job, or |
|
|
| will sit as the primary
backup. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
gets: |
|
|
| future considerations |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| D Seve |
|
|
| The considerations are based
on what drafts happen, and the quality of players in each of those said
drafts. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau gets: |
|
|
| E1 (New England) |
|
|
| $750K |
|
|
| Move down in the draft, still
get a good player, get a chunk of change, all is well. |
|
|
| OCTOBER 2005 -
POST OIFLCup V |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| T Maddox |
|
|
| Houston's E3 |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| D Schultz |
|
|
| Not a bad deal either way, but
these two teams both need to make moves that will improve the overall team,
not just random swaps |
|
|
| of players amongst
one-another. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: |
|
|
| $20K |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| L Zahand |
|
|
| The loaner gets to stay in
Chicagoland full-time. |
|
|
| Cincinnati
gets: |
|
|
| E Jones |
|
|
| L Zahand |
|
|
| R7 |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| C Sanders |
|
|
| Yeah, this is a classic case
of a player being undervalued. Tell me
where Cincinnati is going to replace a linebacker like Curtis |
|
|
| Sanders, if you can.. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| D Gains |
|
|
| D Williams |
|
|
| R Wright |
|
|
| Diablo Valley gets: |
|
|
| B McKeaver |
|
|
| K Hopkins |
|
|
| $200K |
|
|
| Decent deal both ways, Hopkins
and McKeaver will probably make more of an impact, though. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| L Peterson |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| P Hines |
|
|
| R2 |
|
|
| R3 |
|
|
| I know Diablos management
regrets this trade, and I will say this.
That is the incorrect reaction.
Dallas is a team so |
|
|
| starved for any sort of youth
and talent that dealing a salary hound like Peterson for a very very good
player (PJ Hines) |
|
|
| and two guys that will get
playing time in Dallas next year…this is a good move. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| C Rhea |
|
|
| P Benney |
|
|
| Houston gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| two E3 |
|
|
| E5 |
|
|
| E6 |
|
|
| $100K |
|
|
| Houston still has one of the
league's youngest teams after this, and this deal will help that
continue. Not sure, though, that |
|
|
| I'd have traded Benney and
Rhea, two young guys who have promise. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| R2 |
|
|
| $200K |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| C Rhea |
|
|
| Rhea is a great addition to
the Arkansas puzzle, one that I do think may surprise people in 2006. |
|
|
| Memphis gets: |
|
|
| Rosemont R1 |
|
|
| Wichita/Buffalo R1 |
|
|
| Very interesting 3-way trade
here. LA gets Butel and Schultz back
together, and they pick up what will be a pretty |
|
|
| T Smith |
|
|
| M Lee |
|
|
| The first rounders were to be
used on a lineman and a good running back.
Mike Lee is that RB, and Tm Smith is that OL/DL. |
|
|
| Neither have been used to
their skill level in their careers, I'd say the Barracudas will change that. |
|
|
| WEEK SEVENTEEN |
|
|
| Rosemont
signs: |
|
|
| J Brennan |
|
|
| D Schueler |
|
|
| W Henry |
|
|
| E McGowen |
|
|
| L Lincoln |
|
|
| Here's hoping these guys can
learn an offense and defense in just a few days… |
|
|
| WEEK SIXTEEN |
|
|
| Dallas calls
up: |
|
|
| from CON: J Thiel |
|
|
| from HFX: C Macrides |
|
|
| Dallas sends to Connecticut: |
|
|
| L Peterson |
|
|
| And the point of this is? Just another strange move in a long list
for the Diablos. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: |
|
|
| G Mareia |
|
|
| D Monette |
|
|
| Neither a surprise move. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
cuts: |
|
|
| R McKnight |
|
|
| Been with the team all year,
but no longer useful. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs to the practice squad: |
|
|
| H Lassiter |
|
|
| W Reaves |
|
|
| Last of the big spenders, but
these guys will provide plenty of leadership from the practice bench. |
|
|
| WEEK FIFTEEN |
|
|
| Rosemont
signs: |
|
|
| E Jones |
|
|
| Good pickup for a backup here. |
|
|
| Rosemont cuts: |
|
|
| L Lincoln |
|
|
| E McGowen |
|
|
| McGowen has experience, but
when your roster is too stacked, you can't keep everything. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs for one week: |
|
|
| G Mareia |
|
|
| Gotta have a backup… |
|
|
| Omaha signs: |
|
|
| A Reynolds |
|
|
| B Hanna |
|
|
| Omaha cuts: |
|
|
| M DeFreeze |
|
|
| J Smith |
|
|
| Two good players, I expect
Hanna to even make an impact the rest of the year for the Destroyers. |
|
|
| Baltimore
loans to Tucson: |
|
|
| L Williams |
|
|
| Tucson has a serious OL/DL
upgrade for the last few games. |
|
|
| Halifax cuts: |
|
|
| N Arakgi |
|
|
| A Kojak |
|
|
| Not much lost here,
really. Halifax has improved quite a
bit. |
|
|
| Baltimore
loans to Rosemont: |
|
|
| L Zahand |
|
|
| Zahand provides yet another
weapon for the OIFL-ready Horizons. |
|
|
| Rosemont cuts: |
|
|
| M Preece |
|
|
| J Brennan |
|
|
| J Dion |
|
|
| I guess bad players can't stay
on the good team. |
|
|
| WEEK FOURTEEN |
|
|
| Halifax gets: |
|
|
| K McLeod |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|

|
|
| Not a bad deal here. |
|
|
| Dodge City
gets: |
|
|
| J Parker |
|
|
| $100K |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| G Shankland |
|
|
| Beyond his speed, does someone
like Shankland help the Scorpions that much? |
|
|
| Dodge City
gets: |
|
|
| J Annette |
|
|
| R5 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: |
|
|
| R2 |
|
|
| R3 |
|
|
| Sure, it's not the best
situation in the world this year, but Annette gets three games to showcase
himself to the world before |
|
|
| he's likely replaced by some
promising rookies with the Daggers' plethora of early picks. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
cuts: |
|
|
| E Jones |
|
|
| D Schueler |
|
|
| You have to cut your losses
somehow…this'll save the team around $75000 in the remainder of the season. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
gets: |
|
|
| R2 |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| $300K |
|
|
| This is not a bad deal for an
R2, even a mid-level one like Corpus' will be. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
gets: |
|
|
| M Lew |
|
|
| $200K |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| S Mahoney |
|
|
| R3 |
|
|
| Lew is easily the bigger name,
but that doesn't necessarily mean Vegas long-term will have gotten the best
of this deal. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| Z Jackson |
|
|
| Mobile gets: |
|
|
| $300K |
|
|
| Zoriando becomes permanent
rather than a loan, and Mobile gets some cash…no matter how good Jackson is,
he's not replacing Kenneth, Flanders |
|
|
| or Copeland in that potent
Mobile pass game anytime soon. |
|
|
| Cincinnati
gets: |
|
|
| J West |
|
|
| A Fred |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| E Rynearson |
|
|
| R Miller |
|
|
| Arkansas needed some WRDB
depth better than a player like West that could back Cincinnati into the
playoffs if he gets it going like he |
|
|
| did in his Townsville days. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
cuts: |
|
|
| A Reynolds |
|
|
| R Washington |
|
|
| Such is the life of becoming a
better team. |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
cuts: |
|
|
| A Ehmke |
|
|
| B Keegan |
|
|
| They'll have a home soon,
don't worry. |
|
|
| Rosemont
signs: |
|
|
| J Price |
|
|
| Gotta get some depth back
somewhere…not that they're really hurting that bad anyways. |
|
|

|
|
| I Mahovlic |
|
|
| M Bright |
|
|
| Evansville gets: |
|
|
| J Rodriquez |
|
|
| R Carter |
|
|
| Wichita trades two guys that
were never going to play for two guys that were never going to play… |

|
|
| Buffalo to Tucson: |
|

| K Smith |
|
|
| Buffalo to Tampa Bay: |
|
|
| O Thompson |
|
|
| P Bateman |
|
|
| Buffalo starting to rebuild
their draft here with a deal that long-term probably is best for the current
OIFL team. |
|
|
| Yeah, I know…you can't say
that about many Buffalo deals, can you? |
|
|
| Diablo Valley
gets: |
|
|
| C Peach |
|
|
| Dodge City gets: |
|
|
| M Hernfield |
|
|
| R4 |
|
|
| $600K |
|
|
| And the last of the Daggers
are gone. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
gets: |
|
|
| D Buire |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| R7 |
|
|
| I do think Rosemont could have
gotten more than a 7th rounder fpr Buire, though apparently not… |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| D Vernant |
|
|
| P Reese |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| R1 |
|
|
| R3 |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| Arkansas picks up some good
players here, and I can see them getting that 3-seed now. |
|
|
| Dodge City
gets: |
|
|
| R2 |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| Rights to keep B Faulter |
|
|
| two R5 |
|
|
| Okay…yeah, forgot that minor
detail. They're still sleeper-fishing,
but Faulter will certainly help that. |
|
|
| Diablo Valley
cuts: |
|
|
| M Ashe |
|
|
| You never like to lose a good
depth player like this…but have to when you get *better* depth players. |
|
|
| Arkansas cuts: |
|
|
| K Parham |
|
|
| W Henry |
|
|
| J Seils |
|
|
| It hurts to cut good players,
but not as bad when you get better ones. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: |
|
|
| D Kulwicki |
|
|
| Halifax gets: |
|
|
| A Callahan |
|
|
| J Mester |
|
|
| $1M |
|
|
| Kind-of a nice deed here, as
Tampa well overpays to help a new owner get on his feet for what will be a
PRICEY move somewhere for 2006. |
|
|
| That said, Kulwicki certainly
helps the Marauders in what is not a good division in the OLDL department. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
cuts: |
|
|
| K Palatzky |
|
|
| B Fike |
|
|
| They may not be that good, but
why is CC cutting linemen when their depth there is already terrible? |
|
|
| Dallas loans
to Halifax: |
|
|
| C Macrides |
|
|
| So they get $1M to help with
next year, and blow $210,000 of it on an unproven OIFLer, when they're
nowhere near sniffing a playoff |
|
|
| berth. The deal makes the team more competitive,
sure, but come on. |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| R3 |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau gets: |
|
|
| G Turner |
|
|
| Think completely tanking the
season will help season ticket sales in Dallas? |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| $4.5M |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: |
|
|
| G King |
|
|
| Not shooting for an OIF2
title, are we? |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: |
|
|
| G Rogers |
|
|
| J Sauvinski |
|
|
| Albany gets: |
|
|
| $1047560.33 to clear their
debt |
|
|
| I hear a guy in Tampa is
calling North Korea about the possibilities of launching a nuke by San
Francisco somewhere… |
|
|
| This is the best deal the
Thunder Sharks have ever made, period.
Don't look now, but they improved their depth, got a good defensive
player, |
|
|
| and now have two all-OIFL
potential linemen. Rogers and Mace
both have to play like it, now. |
|
|
| WEEK THIRTEEN |
|
|
| Diablo Valley
gets: |
|
|
| B Slynt |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| $200K |
|
|
| Interesting deal, as the
Vipers get another piece they need to win that insane West. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: |
|
|
| TB's R3 |
|
|
| CG's R6 |
|
|
| O Lekote |
|
|
| R Johnsen |
|
|
| $200K |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| R1 |
|
|
| A fairly expensive
first-rounder, but Rosemont is about superstar power most of the time…they
will get it there. |
|
|
| That said, Tampa Bay is going
for a division title and the likely 3-seed…they may have it with this good
deal, too. |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: |
|
|
| C Mace |
|
|
| Dodge City gets: |
|
|
| R1 |
|
|
| R2 |
|
|
| W Stubbs |
|
|
| S Harlan |
|
|
| C Millie |
|
|
| B Little |
|
|
| Yes, it hurts to lose a star
rock like Mace, but this is a nice deal for now and later. |
|
|
| As for San Fran…is one star
worth 6 players to a depth-starved team? |
|
|
| Dodge City
gets: |
|
|
| LA's R1 |
|
|
| L Quick |
|
|
| J Glass |
|
|
| $1.5M |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| B Woodcock |
|
|
| Again, it hurts a bunch to
lose a star player…but the Daggers may have gotten two of them, plus whatever
you can get with a first-rounder. |
|
|
| Detroit's line is again not a
problem. |
|
|
| Connecticut
gets: |
|
|
| T Law |
|
|
| J Davis |
|
|
| Dodge City gets: |
|
|
| S McKiernan |
|
|
| B Butcher |
|
|
| R4 |
|
|
| The worst deal of the bunch
for Dodge City. |
|
|
| Diablo Valley
gets: |
|
|
| D Williams |
|
|
| C Krypell |
|
|
| $225K |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| R3 |
|
|
| R5 |
|
|
| Nice, Diablo Valley gives up
little to get some decent stuff. Those
are good deals. |
|
|
| Diablo Valley
cuts: |
|
|
| J Price |
|
|
| After that trade, his services
were no longer needed. |
|
|

|
|
| C O'Shea |
|

|
| D Myers |
|
|
| $1.5M |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| D Schultz |
|
|
| G Intianiosmith |
|
|
| I'm all for making good deals
that give teams a star-studded presence.
I'm not in favor of trading an entire draft PLUS three good players |
|
|
| AND a wad of cash for one star
that has had bad years and an unproven guy.
But hey, Dagger fans know they'll get the best of next year's |
|
|
| draft with this kind of stuff. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| P Tuttle |
|
|
| Dodge City gets: |
|
|
| R1 |
|
|
| R3 |
|
|
| M Garbinsky |
|
|
| $1M |
|
|
| Tuttle, sure, he's an OIFL
MVP. But he's not done much since
2002. Except that one conference final
against Lincoln. |
|
|
| Oh, okay, now I get it. |
|
|
| Dodge City
gets: |
|
|
| R2 |
|
|
| $50K |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau gets: |
|
|
| B Brooks |
|
|
| See, the Daggers didn't just
make blockbusters. That said, this guy
could help Cape Girardeau make a late-season run. |
|
|
| Dodge City
gets: |
|
|
| $100K |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| P Alexander |
|
|
| The loaner becomes
permanent. Daggers didn't need him
anymore with acquisition of Glass and O'Shea. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| R1 |
|
|
| R4 |
|
|
| T LiPetri |

|
|
| G Intianiosmith |
|
|
| $250K |
|
|
| Dallas…sorry, I have no clue
what you're thinking about.
LiPetri…good acquisition…good player that needs to be given a chance. |
|
|
| Now you have an overpaid
quarterback that hasn't done that much since 2001, though he's got the best
talent ratings of any QB in the league. |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
cuts: |
|
|
| R Moodley |
|
|
| N Bastaja |
|
|
| Not much lost here,
folks. May see both of 'em in New
Hampshire or Halifax, though. |
|
|
| Omaha signs: |
|
|
| R Star |
|
|
| Yes, need a backup. And he has experience. In Tulsa…which was an OIF2 team before its
time. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |

can't restock for Butel and two backups with THAT draft bounty? |

|
|
| K Lewis |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| C Wier |
|
|
| Lewis is a fair backup
lineman, and will get plenty of starting experience for the for-now-depleted
Daggers. |
|
|
| So, how much will they attack
free agency, and then the draft? Could
the 2006 Daggers be better than last year's OIFLCup runners-up? |
|

E6) |
|

| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| G King |
|
|
| M Lew |
|
|
| You're freaking kidding me,
right? |
|
|
| Let's look at
this objectively…the Daggers now have the following picks by round for the
2006 season: |
|
|
| R1: 8 |
|
|
| R2: 6 |
|
|
| R3: 9 |
|
|
| R4: 4 |
|
|
| R5: 6 |
|
|
| R6: 5 |
|
|
| R7: 6 |
|
|
| Sure, they won't win again
this season, but they'll be loaded for bear next year. |

|
| New England

|

| San Francisco gets: |

but you can't fault them for not trying by the Bay. |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
gets: |

|
| T Gant |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |

| D Wiedne |
|

| Rosemont quickly turning into
the "Detroit of the OIF2," but Cape gets some good depth out of
this, too. |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| S Jackson |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| A Peach |
|
|
| Arkansas gets a goal line
receiver, while the Horizons get another good defensive player. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| NH's R5 (which will go to Las
Vegas) |
|
|
| New Hampshire gets: |
|
|
| ROS/HAW/TUC R7 pick |
|
|
| I don't think this deal will
make Vegas or New Hampshire noticeably better… |
|
|
| Diablo Valley

| P Marntos |
|
|
| R3 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| N Harris |
|

| There's one loaner that won't
be leaving his city. The Barracudas
get a good backup QB with a load of experience, as well. |

|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| L Bernstein |
|
|
| Shreveport gets: |
|
|
| $200K |
|
|
| The rule here is that
Destroyers owner Jeremy Poore will overpay to get his team over the top. In an ever-increasing talent pool that is
the OIF2, |
|
|
| the team felt that Bernstein
was worth the price. We will see if
that becomes reality. |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |

|
| R Jamison |

|
|
| $250K |
|
|
| E McGowen |
|

| Jamison has a ring, and has
the experience needed to help a young offense get one of their own. However, he hasn't done much since that
2002 |

the future |

| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| M Trask |
|

your line if this guy is signed to start? |
|
|

|
| G Cooper |
|
|
| $450K |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| future considerations (E1, E2) |
|
|
| When E1s went for about $1M a
pop last year…this deal isn't so good for the Vipers. |
|

the arsenal. |
|
|
| Dallas calls
up from Arkansas: |
|
|
| J Kernan |
|
|
| Arkansas has guys who can
replace the de-loaned player. |
|
|
| Dallas loans
to Connecticut: |
|
|
| J Thiel |
|
|
| Connecticut cuts: |
|
|
| B West |
|
|
| West was fairly expensive for
what…wait, they just got loaned a guy who makes $40K a week. That said, Thiel is worth a win or two |
|
|
| to an OIF2 team. This is not what Evansville wanted to see. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
loans to Cape Girardeau: |
|
|
| J Handy |
|
|
| Though not quite Tom Remer,
Handy does help the Rush out quite a bit, as the cupboard is still kind-of
bare. |

|
|
| Wichita gets: |
|
|
| B LiPetri |
|
|
| Wichita is gunning for a

| G Cooper |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| L James |
|
|
| C Perrone |
|
|
| future considerations (E1, E3) |
|
|
| $400K |
|
|
| Are you rebuilding for the
future, or trying to make a splash?
Buffalo needs to make their minds up.
This is a great rebuilding deal for Los |
|
|
| Angeles, as it gives Logan
James a real shot. Perrone is an
untested player that can be a solid DS, and they get two draft picks that
will |
|
|
| likely log significant playing
time in the future. |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: |
|
|
| L Dibbles |
|
|
| future considerations (ROS E3) |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| S Marcius |
|
|
| The future considerations
better be something tangible, like an E3 or something…Marcius is worth a lot
more than Dibbles, though he does |
|
|
| have the speed the Thunder
Sharks so desperately need. |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| future considerations (E4) |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| E Jones |
|
|
| Edgewiler can be a good player
in this offense, especially with James Huaman to take all the heat off. |
|

|
|
| Not like any NH player is
worth much, so whenever they can get two serviceable players for one of 'em,
they done good. |

|
| $50K |
|

|
|
| Los Angeles loans to Diablo
Valley: |
|
|
| B McKeaver |
|
|
| Not a huge step down for the
Vipers here, but it gives LA a better run game than they otherwise had. |
|
|
| Las Vegas

| T Wright |
|
|
| Not really a needed piece for
this stacked OIF2 team. |
|
|
| Dallas signs: |
|
|
| C Longworth |
|
|
| Longworth is a good OS for
goal line receiving situations…and not much else. That said, if he can get a couple of short
TD passes |
|
|
| with his good hands, that
could give Dallas another win or two down the stretch. |

hurt, either. |
|

|
|
| New Hampshire gets: |

|
| J Lamone |
|
|
| D Keith |
|
|
| C Payne |
|
|
| New Hampshire is still a poor
team with a lot of glorified OS's on their roster…but this deal doesn't hurt
them a bit. |
|
|
| Arkansas
signs: |
|
|
| K Parham |
|
|
| An offensive sub, but if they
have to call on him for full-time WRDB work, it's time to get ready for 2006. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| $110K |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| R Johnsen |
|
|
| Rosemont is certainly willing
to make a deal if it will help them right now…without much concern for money
and other stuff. |
|
|
| Rosemont cuts: |

|
|
| D McCallister |
|
|

|
| S Quessel |
|
|
| $3M |
|
|
| And what do you do IF (and
it's an if) Bill Long regains his 2001 and 2002 form? This one's a very questionable trade out of
Thunderbolts camp. |
|
|
| Long is capable of
all-stardom…but you've got Tom Ando.
And he's not a $3M defensive specialist…this isn't Ray Lewis or Bryant
Lane here. |

|
|
| Let's not joke here. New Hampshire has become pretty good at
picking the best out of a pretty poor FA list. Now, if they'd have done this |
|
|
| a month or two ago, we might
be talking about an outside playoff team here… |
|
|
| Connecticut
signs: |
|
|
| B West |
|
|
| While nothing that closely
resembles a superstar, Bill West has a lot of OIFL experience, though most of
it is in 2001. |
|
|
| He'll be a good depth player
for the Cresleys. |
|
|
| Columbus gets: |
|
|
| $70K |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| J Bottrell |
|
|
| Of all of the weird moves the
Chaos are making, this might be the worst.
Bottrell is a great depth guy that plays so far above his stats that |
|
|
| he should have started ever
since the Cyclones put Chudobiack in the starting 11. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| J Harnwell (subsequently cut) |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| S Gordon |
|
|
| Just helping their depth a
little more. This move was done to
save Rosemont a couple hundred bucks. |
|
|
| Funny, after they just sent
$70K to Columbus, I know… |

|
|
| I guess this means the Akili
Mateson experiment failed miserably?
They shoulda kept Cunningham, he can do something (OL) well… |
|
|
| something New Hampshire
doesn't have much of (players that have some competency). |
|
|
| San Francisco
cuts: |
|
|
| A Phillipo |
|
|
| K Parham |
|
|
| They'll find jobs somewhere in
the OIF2…better than languishing on a practice squad. |

| Wait a minute. LA is 4-4, a game out of the playoffs. New England is 0-8…way way way out of the
playoffs. And New England is the one |

| acquiring the all-star
lineman? What the heck? |
|
|
| WEEK EIGHT |
|
|
| Dodge City
sends down to Corpus Christi: |
|

help this abysmal team out. But let's
look at the real story. Will Inex and
Jimmy D contemplate suicide now that |

|
|
| B Berkowitz |
|
|
| Corpus Christi signs: |

of those "WHAT?!" moves that CC made in free agency. |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
gets: |
|
|
| D Jenkins |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| CG's R3 |
|
|
| Interesting deal, though I
think the R3 may be able to get more than Jenkins. The guy, though, provides much-needed depth
to the Rush. |
|
|
| Columbus cuts: |
|
|
| G Wilson |
|
|
| R Washington |
|
|
| Na'ah, these guys weren't
adding anything to the practice squad here. |
|
|
| Columbus

|
| Farmer adds a bit of depth,
but not sure how great said depth really is. |
|
|
| Evansville

| R Wright |
|
|
| Hawaii gets: |
|
|
| T McCarthy |
|
|
| bottom half R5 or top half R6 |
|
|
| Starter-for-starter deal. Wright is a great defender, and in this
league, that potential star quality makes it a win for Evansville. |
|
|
| Portland calls
up from Corpus Christi: |
|
|
| B Dockery |
|
|
| You think OIF2 teams are sad
to see the Riptide get ripped apart by OIFL teams? |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: |
|
|
| B Hanna |
|
|
| This is part-time work for
Hanna, and he knows it. But he'll help
the Squirrels while their starter is out. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| L Plevin |
|
|
| $300K |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| S Scolari |
|
|
| Agree or disagree with the
transaction, the Destroyers pay a premium price to get what they want. Scolari will help that pass game quite a
bit. |

|
| L Bauer |
|
|
| Evansville cuts: |

|
|
| B Gianchetti |
|
|
| R Pecchio |
|
|
| $50K |
|
|
| Nope, I can't see where
Connecticut benefits in this trade.
Butcher is a decent enough player, but you're losing hands with Causey
over Fred |
|
|
| and Harnwell is a waste of
space most of the time. Both teams
dealt two starters and a backup, and pretty much got the same in return. |
|
|
| One of the bigger OIF2 deals
made, either way. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: |
|
|
| L Bauer |
|
|
| Bauer is a decent player,
don't be shocked to see an OIF2 team snatch him right up. |
|

| WEEK SIX |
|

|
|
| Oswald has nothing to
contribute to an OIFL team. |
|

| A money move, without a doubt. |
|
|
| Connecticut
cuts: |

|
|
| S Harlan |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|

|
| San Fran cuts much salary and

two-way lineman to shore up |

|
| their weakened line. |
|
|
| Columbus gets: |
|
|
| $15K |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |

| TERRIBLE deal for Columbus, as
Kennedy is not that bad, and he's CHEAP! |
|
|
| Columbus gets: |
|
|
| $150K |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| J Davis |
|
|
| So, I sign some scrub FA, then
trade him to the champs for $150,000.
Where do I sign up? |
|
|
| Dallas loans
to Corpus Christi: |

the OIF2's best team… |
|
|
| Columbus cuts: |
|
|
| C Hollingsworth |
|
|
| Yeah, so the guy who gave a
bunch of three year deals to these guys…not a great move. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: |
|

| Nothing like jumping on that
right quick. Hollingsworth is now a
bunch cheaper than Cade, and he's not that bad. |
|
|
| Columbus

only. If Davis is the starter, just
write off the rest of the season now…but he should get SOME playing time. |

upgrade, I'm not sure you get rid of the "big catch guy" in Poux. |

| Good talent upgrades here at
the line and DS spots, though Fields is way too slow to be a good DS here. |
|
|
| Columbus
signs: |
|
|
| W Harwood |
|
|
| Harwood is a good leadership
guy, but he should not see the field on game day. |
|
|
| Seattle calls
up from Shreveport: |
|
|
| M Lawrence |
|
|
| Lawrence played well in his
time with the Steamer, should help a Seattle team that is playing better
football of late. |
|
|
| Seattle calls
up from Corpus Christi: |
|
|
| J Kaleo |
|
|
| Kaleo probably shouldn't have
ever been loaned, and especially with Pendergrass going down for the year,
this was a no-brainer. |
|
|
| No one in Corpus Christi
should be surprised here. |
|
|
| Shreveport
signs: |
|
|
| K Shepherd |
|
|
| After the Lawrence callup,
Scott Parker's last move as Steamer owner is really not a shocker. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
signs: |
|
|
| T Gardner |
|
|
| Hopefully he plays better here
than he did in Shrewsbury (2002). He
will back up Mark O'Donnell here. |

| M Stevenson |
|
|
| They gave up quite a bit for
Stevenson, but it's not like any of them can really be used for anything more
than depth guys for the Chaos. |
|

|
|
| D McCallister |
|
|
| Diablo Valley gets: |

| Columbus gets: |

| Wait for it…wait for it…ah
yes, salary dump. And probably a

| J Eliot |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| C Krypell |
|
|
| S Gordon |
|
|
| R7 |
|
|
| This deal doesn't help
Rosemont a bit for two weeks, till Krypell gets healthy again. And even then, I'm not sure it helps
Rosemont. |
|
|
| Rosemont
signs: |

| O Lekote |
|
|

weapon. |

|
| West is a decent enough

the playoffs. |

|
|
| $15K |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau gets: |

|
|
| Arkansas cuts

| Bianchi is a loaner that
didn't really work out for Arkansas. |
|

| Murphy was taking up one of
the 25 spots that they needed to cut one of… |
|
|

Tucson's primary kick returner. He's
got the speed for it. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain

|
|
| D Sugarbush |
|
|
| Evansville gets: |
|
|
| $20K |

opportunities to earn the dough. |

NOW. |

|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|

| What a stupid deal for
Buffalo, the 3rd rounder won't be as good as Burnett, and Greg Smith sure as
heck isn't… |

| D Keith |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| $30K |

|
| These guys will help the
Outlaws out a lot, but I think I'd of waited until Corpus cut them and then
saved some money on salary. |

| T O'Donahue |
|
|
| R Daville |
|

|
|
| The only way Vegas gets equal
value is if they get a real good player in the draft. Daville wasn't a guy to be traded here… |

|
|
| J Harnwell |

|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| $10K |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau gets: |
|
|
| M Nuremberg |
|
|
| Nuremberg is expendable with
recent Outlaw moves, and he will help the shaky Rush line a lot. |
|

|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| R Washington |
|
|
| J Thompson |
|
|
| So the Horizons are in the
depth-building department. If not for
a missed Todd LaTourette FG, Washington would have a ring, too. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| $2500.. |
|
|
| Connecticut gets: |
|
|
| J Whitfield |
|
|
| I think the Horizons coulda
gotten more here, Whitfield is a solid player that will log significant
playing time for the Cresleys. |
|

| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| $2K |
|
|

do need at least one big name player, though. |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: |
|
|
| J Gamble |
|
|
| Gamble brought them quite a
bit of success in the run game last year, but this year's pass game won't
allow him to run for that kind of yardage. |
|
|
| And he's really not that good,
either. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain

| M Hunt |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| R3 |

point where he could be |
|
|
| cut and everyone forget about
it. |
|
|

|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| L Peterson |
|
|
| $100K |
|
|
| This move signifies that the
Daggers are working for the future…sorta.
Intianiosmith is a serviceable player at Peterson's spot, and he can |
|
|
| platoon with Perry Tuttle,
provided the Daggers get some more WR/OS depth. Samuels adds much depth to an aging and
tiring line. |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| M Danelo |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| $551K |
|
|
| Though the Peterson
acquisition certainly drained their depth, what the hell was Dallas thinking
by trading over a half million dollars for |
|
|
| a RB/LB that would be a BACKUP
in half of the OIFL?! |
|
|
| San Francisco

|
| D Eldridge |
|
|
| Las Vegas gets: |
|
|
| T O'Donahue |
|

get him. |

|
|
| B Hicks |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| F Josten |
|
|
| An idiotic trade for San Fran,
as they jump $10K a week in salary for something that may not be an
improvement. |
|
|
| Buffalo loans

|
|
| F Matua |
|
|
| Matua is a player that will
improve the Swarm defense a good bit. |
|
|
| San Francisco

| Oswald is probably a waste of
the $125/week he'll get on the practice squad. |

|
|
| Omaha signs: |

Destroyers. |
|
|
| Detroit signs

|
|
| G Skont |
|
|
| That's a pretty unimpressive
Detroit Gargoyles signing. |
|
|
| Cincinnati
cuts: |
|
|
| M Lewis |
|
|
| Had to get it back down to 24,
and this was the easiest one to find. |
|
|
| Baltimore
calls up from Arkansas: |
|
|
| M Jacobs |
|
|
| That's two roster spots that
are filled by OIF2ers…Jacobs will get
some playing time in Baltimore, he's better in some areas than Henry Boden. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: |
|
|
| $30K |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| B Tropff |
|
|
| Tropff immediately becomes a
stalwart on the Rosemont line. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs to the practice squad: |

| Bauer replaces the traded
Tropff. |

|
| B Builder |
|

| Though Builder is a good
player, I think I'd of kept the 5th round pick and got a 2-way guy next year. |
|
|
| Arkansas
signs: |
|
|
| B White |
|
|
| White is a cheap replacement
for the called up player, and I think he may even get playing time. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| $5K |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau gets: |
|
|
| N Bastaja |
|
|
| Bastaja is a solid lineman,
but Rosemont has a lot of those and now has some extra cash to pay 'em. |
|
|
| Dallas calls
up from Jackson: |
|
|
| J Wehrle |
|
|
| Jackson HAS to get a kicker
now…but there's a few fair ones in the OIF2 pile. |
|
|
| Omaha cuts: |
|

|
| You don't need three kickers,
so this was an obvious move. |

|
| Cape Girardeau gets: |
|
|
| D Morris |

|
| S Stone |
|
|
| Shreveport cuts: |
|

Shepherd. |

|
|
| L Terry |
|
|
| Wichita gets: |
|
|
| F Herrington |
|
|
| $30K |
|
|
| Terry was one of the WRDBs in
the league's most prolific-ever offense (2001 Middletown Blockbusters), so
it's not like the guy doesn't know |
|
|
| what he's doing. Now granted, his QB is now in Lincoln, his
other WRDB in Baltimore and the OS that no one's heard of (Kelvin Street,
cough) |
|
|
| is in Albany…but Terry still
knows something. |
|
|
| Dallas calls
up from Corpus Christi: |
|
|
| G Lennox |
|
|
| This hurts an already
questionable Riptide defense. Can the
OIF2's big money team do anything about it? |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: |
|
|
| D Kramer |

waiverwire. |
|
|
| Tucson signs: |
|
|
| B Valvano |
|
|
| Valvano is an experienced
backup, and he's been in Tucson before. |
|
|
| Baltimore
calls up from Evansville: |
|
|
| J Annette |
|
|
| Now that's a dirty dirty
trick. Trade Annette to E-town, get
some cash and a serviceable player, then call up Annette after he has a good
training |
|
|
| camp. Talk about a lack of ethics. |

|
|
| Tampa Bay

|
|
| B Valvano |

| Fairly solid backups here. |

| Good backup, will probably get
some playing time. |
|
|
| Omaha signs: |

up loaned from Rosemont: |

them much, either. |

|
| B O'Reilly |
|
|
| J Tannehill |
|
|
| J Brennan |
|
|
| Wouldn't be shocked to see
these guys all find a home somewhere. |
|
|
| Memphis cuts: |
|
|
| D Kramer |
|
|
| Not too much lost here for
them, but he will have a home right quick. |
|
|
| Baltimore cuts: |
|
|
| G Skont |
|
|
| L Stocker |
|
|
| These guys weren't much, but
now Baltimore is a bit thin on the line. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| J Starkey |
|
|
| A good backup kicker in case
LaTourette gets hurt. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
cuts: |
|
|
| B Wright |
|
|
| They have a better backup
there, so Wright was expendable. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
gets: |
|
|
| J Rollins |
|
|
| S Kline |
|
|
| C Londeree |
|
|
| $74K |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| J Lamone |
|
|
| G Jackson |
|
|
| M Causey |
|
|
| The Outlaws get a lot better
real quick, while Las Vegas gets rid of guys that they so badly wished they
could have kept. |
|
|
| Connecticut
cuts: |
|
|
| F Getty |
|
|
| S Stone |
|
|
| E McGowen |
|
|
| D Smith |
|
|
| A Reynolds |
|
|
| D Carpenter |
|
|
| Whew, we've got some junk on
the pile here. Connecticut cuts some
poorer high-salary guys and doesn't really hurt the team any. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
gets: |
|
|
| E Rynearson |
|
|
| K Lawhorne |
|
|
| $25K |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| K Leperton |
|
|
| And with this move, the Sting
are under $900K in salary! |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| $10K |
|
|
| R7 |
|
|
| Evansville gets: |
|
|
| D Cheswick |
|
|
| Cheswick is an experienced
player, but there's always a shot Arkansas gets one of those with the R7. |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| J Carney |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| future considerations |
|
|
| No clue what the FC will be
here, if anything. But Carney is a
decent enough player. |
|
|
| Shreveport
cuts: |
|
|
| K Shepherd |
|
|
| Shreveport signs: |
|
|
| E Murillo |
|
|
| Yes, it hurts to lose a
leadership guy like Shepherd, but the bottom line is the guy can't throw. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| K Hopkins |
|
|
| Hopkins will help the
Barracudas all over this year, but that might have been a bit steep. |
|
|
| New England
cuts: |
|
|
| D Silas |
|
|
| That is an expensive cut, but
Silas isn't worth anything that resembles $25000/week. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
cuts: |
|
|
| A Oswald |
|
|
| J Rollins |
|
|
| S Kline |
|
|
| C Londeree |
|
|
| E Rynearson |
|
|
| Proving that those OIF2 trades
were salary dumps… |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| future considerations |
|
|
| Hawaii gets: |
|
|
| S Mahoney |
|
|
| D Burks |
|
|
| Hawaii has a couple of easy
sure-fire starters and they didn't pay that much to get 'em. |
|
|
| Detroit cuts: |
|
|
| W Jamison |
|
|
| P Kaufman |
|
|
| A King |
|
|
| M Baran |
|
|
| J Davis |
|
|
| T O'Donahue |
|
|
| NOTHING lost here, especially
for the two-time champs. |
|
|
| Hawaii signs: |
|
|
| P Kaufman |
|
|
| W Jamison |
|
|
| Of course, Hawaii jumped right
on these guys, didn't even let 'em hit the bottom. |
|
|
| Hawaii cuts: |
|
|
| A Mateson |
|
|
| B White |
|
|
| S Carr |
|
|
| V Prietiello |
|
|
| B Jones |
|
|
| Not much lost here, especially
with the four new guys they brought in. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: |
|
|
| N Wright |
|
|
| K Johnson |
|
|
| Decent players, will probably
land somewhere. |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: |
|
|
| A Williams |
|
|
| C Millie |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| C Macrides |
|
|
| Not a terrible deal here, as
SF goes with the Carr for Williams/Millie.
Williams is a heckuva lot better than Horwitz, and Millie is a good
young player. |
|
|
| Dallas gets expensive stuff
for very unproven talent here. Though
Macrides could be a star in the future. |
|
|
| Rosemont
signs: |
|
|
| F Behrendsen |
|
|
| J Eliot |
|
|
| Rosemont cuts: |
|
|
| K Stringtown |
|
|
| K Palatzky |
|
|
| Jimmy D |
|
|
| Good signings for depth, both
could see playing time. Definite
upgrades over the riff raff they tossed out. |
|
|
| Connecticut
signs: |
|
|
| R Churan |
|
|
| Connecticut cuts: |
|
|
| S Chadwick |
|
|
| G Pennington |
|
|
| Those guys were just sucking
up roster spots that weren't worth anything.
I know Churan is a good player, so this is a good move. |
|
|
| Lincoln loans
to Diablo Valley: |
|
|
| T Adgate |
|
|
| Adgate wasn't going to play in
Lincoln, but he is a solid young player.
The Vipers got a really good line with this one. |
|
|
| Connecticut
gets: |
|
|
| S McKiernan |
|
|
| C Longworth |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain gets: |
|
|
| $45K |
|
|
| Very good depth move for the
Cresleys, though both are capable of starting in a pinch. Rocky Mountain gets more cash in the deal. |
|
|
| San Francisco
calls up from Cincinnati: |
|
|
| W Stubbs |
|
|
| The Sharks were never in a
position that they could really send talent down…bringing him back was smart,
they need depth. |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| $5K |
|
|
| Hawaii gets: |
|
|
| B Day |
|
|
| K.S. Park |
|
|
| Dallas trades two depth guys
that they could use for peanuts. |
|
|
| Hawaii cuts: |
|
|
| D Hester |
|
|
| D Joseph |
|
|
| After acquiring Day and Park,
these guys were expendable. And they
were… |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
cuts: |
|
|
| D Schwalenberg |
|
|
| I hear they got one in a
trade, and let's be honest, Schwalenberg isn't very good. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: |
|
|
| B Valvano |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| $10K |
|
|
| The Scorpions shed some
expensive salary, and Tampa gets a guy who could challenge for the starting
QB. |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
cuts: |
|
|
| J Langford |
|
|
| He's not a bad quarterback,
but obviously the Rush think they can do better. |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain
cuts: |
|
|
| J George |
|
|
| Rocky Mountain signs: |
|
|
| A Dice |
|
|
| M Vietti |
|
|
| Both can catch a little,
though I'd hardly call him 'good.' But
if you can get a guy who can play this late in the game before teams make
final cuts, |
|
|
| you didn't do too badly. |
|
|
| Tucson signs: |
|
|
| T McGrath |
|
|
| McGrath has some experience,
and he can help the younger guys some here, I think. |
|
|
| Halifax cuts: |
|
|
| R Star |
|
|
| J Smith |
|
|
| J West |
|
|
| J Rollins |
|
|
| G Hall |
|
|
| Wow, that's a fairly good
group (save Hall) of players to be cut.
I expect the other four to find homes before this week's over. |
|
|
| Tucson cuts: |
|
|
| R Payton |
|
|
| D Addis |
|
|
| These guys are bad…Tucson
loses nothing here. Look for both to
retire from football. |
|
|
| Dodge City
loans to Connecticut: |
|
|
| B Faulter |
|
|
| Faulter will easily start for
the Cresleys, and really gives them a good player that can do about anything
in the OIF2. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
cuts: |
|
|
| N Marino |
|
|
| That guy wasn't going to do
anything for the Barracudas ever, so why pay the salary? |
|
|
| Dodge City
loans to Rosemont: |
|
|
| P Alexander |
|
|
| So, so much for those
quarterback issues for the Horizons. |
|
|
| Rosemont cuts: |
|
|
| R Pecchio |
|
|
| $10,000 is a bit expensive for
a backup lineman who doesn't do anything THAT well. |
|
|
| Detroit loans
to Hawaii: |
|
|
| J Atwood |
|
|
| Atwood has a lot of starting
experience in the OIFL, and there isn't a more intelligent quarterback. His physical inadequacies have always been |
|
|
| overshadowed by the brain, and
Hawaii from top to bottom will benefit from that. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
cuts: |
|
|
| A Walkin |
|
|
| S Hartman |
|
|
| L Bauer |
|
|
| Tampa Bay signs: |
|
|
| D Cox |
|
|
| B Atta |
|
|
| Cox is a good depth guy,
nothing else is too much worth mentioning. |
|
|
| Diablo Valley
cuts: |
|
|
| B Jacobson |
|
|
| J Fox |
|
|
| J Hall |
|
|
| J Boyd |
|
|
| B Mack |
|
|
| Not much here being thrown
out. I guess there's a reason they
were cut… Wouldn’t surprise me to see
Mack get picked up elsewhere. |
|
|
| Tucson signs: |
|
|
| N Marino |
|
|
| Marino will bring Tucson a
situational offensive lineman, which will help them out a bunch in goal line
sets. |
|
|
| Shreveport
cuts: |
|
|
| D Stansberry |
|
|
| Shreveport signs: |
|
|
| P O'Furniture |
|
|
| A surprising cut, as
Stansberry hasn't played all that badly.
But when you consider that Patty-O has been in two OIFLCup games as
the |
|
|
| starting placekicker for the
Fort MacMurray Fatmen, you may as well chuck out the extra $200/week and give
a proven winner another shot. |
|
|
| Omaha cuts: |
|
|
| T Jolly |
|
|
| E Murillo |
|
|
| R Andrews |
|
|
| J Connor |
|
|
| J Marquardt |
|
|
| M Sanders |
|
|
| Gotta drop it to 24, and Omaha
does just that. Wouldn't shock me to
see most of these guys with a home before week's end. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| J McCoy |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: |
|
|
| J Cooperrider |
|
|
| Fairly balanced trade here,
doubt anyone gets rich off of it. |
|
|
| New Hampshire
signs: |
|
|
| Jimmy D |
|
|
| You'd of though I retired guys
for a reason…but NH wanted the player anyways. |
|
|
| Rosemont
signs: |
|
|
| J West |
|
|
| Rosemont cuts: |
|
|
| D Hicks |
|
|
| To go from projected starter
to cut…that sucks. Pierre Alexander
made the other QBs expendable, and West adds depth at RB. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| G Watson |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| E Rynearson |
|
|
| $3K |
|
|
| Arkansas gets a little cash
while Evansville gets a slight upgrade. |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
cuts: |
|
|
| J Starkey |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau signs: |
|
|
| M Moore |
|
|
| Starkey has choked, but so has
Moore. This move saves $8K/week, and
that's about it. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
cuts: |
|
|
| R Foster |
|
|
| J Lebovitz |
|
|
| Not a big move, it saves the
Riptide some salary, not that they really care… |
|
|
| Lincoln loans
to Corpus Christi: |
|
|
| D Atari |
|
|
| Atari is the starter right
away for the Riptide. Though Schueler
will play due to his speed… |
|
|
| Arkansas cuts: |
|
|
| J Whiteside |
|
|
| Arkansas signs: |
|
|
| J Rollins |
|
|
| Rollins is an upgrade over
Whiteside, and he'll play some in the Outlaw system. |
|
|
| PRESEASON WEEK
TWO |
|
|
| Arkansas
signs: |
|
|
| C Londeree |
|
|
| Surprised he lasted in the FA
market this long. He's not going to
win Arkansas 15 games or anything, but he's certainly a better insurance
policy than most have. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| $21K |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| D Perrico |
|
|
| Any kicking problems with the
erratic Moore and O'Furniture are gone with this trade. Perrico wasn't going to play over Scott
Surefoot, anyways. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| $25K |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: |
|
|
| B Gaither |
|
|
| They already have
Westmoreland, not sure where Gaither helps them here. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| $55K |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| R Jamison |
|
|
| He isn't a star, but Jamison
is proven, and he has a pedigree for winning.
That's worth a LOT in the OIF2.
He will help the Horizons win games. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| D Carr |
|
|
| San Francisco gets: |
|
|
| C Macrides |
|
|
| At least Macrides had help in
LA to be worth his $70K. He's now
depended on solely to save the Thunder Shark defense. This is a bad situation for the expensive
FA. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
cuts: |
|
|
| A Mitchell |
|
|
| M Trask |
|
|
| F Behrendsen |
|
|
| It's possible that these guys
will be picked up, but for a team trying to win it all, these guys are
crap. Vegas loses nothing here. |
|
|
| Halifax signs: |
|
|
| H Wiltbrod |
|
|
| D DiPietro |
|
|
| S Torrea |
|
|
| Solid backups, but I wouldn't
count on any of them to win titles.
Wiltbrod could be a starter, though. |
|
|
| Dallas cuts: |
|
|
| R Larson |
|
|
| J Eliot |
|
|
| Not sure Dallas was in the
position to be able to cut anyone… |
|
|
| Tucson cuts: |
|
|
| M Moore |
|
|
| P O'Furniture |
|
|
| F Vanderbilt |
|
|
| Always sucks to see a leader
like Vanderbilt cut, but let's face it.
He sucks. |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| T LiPetri |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| B Rayburn |
|
|
| You've gotta be sold on
LiPetri to give up a first AND a talent like Rayburn. LiPetri can be a star, but he'll need help
here in Dallas. Not sure they have it
for him. |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| M Jacobs |
|
|
| K Lawhorne |
|
|
| C Kilano |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| $100K |
|
|
| Depth problems = gone. LA has lost a lot of depth, but they are
confident what they have left will be fine.
They better be ready if the injury bug hits. |
|
|
| Hawaii cuts: |
|
|
| A Davis |
|
|
| Hawaii signs: |
|
|
| E Perry |
|
|
| Davis loses nothing here, and
Perry is a good backup, a heckuva lot better than what the Hurricane had
before. |
|
|
| Wichita cuts: |
|
|
| W Farmwald |
|
|
| The dumb move here was giving
such a poor player a 2-year deal such that it'd cost $14,400 to cut him. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| P Matos |
|
|
| Hawaii gets: |
|
|
| L Johnson |
|
|
| Both guys have good sides and
bad sides. Rosemont wins because they
dumped $22K in salary. |
|
|
| Rosemont
signs: |
|
|
| M Remer |
|
|
| J Pryce |
|
|
| They needed a backup running
back, and someone to replace Lorenzo Johnson.
These two guys do that. |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
cuts: |
|
|
| J Seau |
|
|
| No loss here. |
|
|
| Cincinnati
gets: |
|
|
| G Jaro |
|
|
| $2K |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| B Valvano |
|
|
| Cincy gets rid of a bad salary
and gets a small stipend to do it?
Where do I sign up?! |
|
|
| PRESEASON WEEK
ONE |
|
|
| San Antonio
loans to Hawaii: |
|
|
| J Briston |
|
|
| A great OIF2 starting OS, only
problem with Briston is that he's not a blazer. He is a good player for the Hurricane to
build their offense around, though. |
|
|
| Hawaii signs: |
|
|
| B White |
|
|
| J Green |
|
|
| J Brooks |
|
|
| J Kinney |
|
|
| B Baxter |
|
|
| A Davis |
|
|
| It's not like we're dealing
with megastars here, but these guys immensely improve a bad Hawaii squad. |
|
|
| Diablo Valley
gets: |
|
|
| M Bright |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| R Washington |
|
|
| $45K |
|
|
| The Vipers got themselves a
very good lineman here, and Portland got some cash and a poor WRDB in the
form of a salary dump. A very
expensive dump for the Vipers, too. |
|
|
| OIFL/OIF2 WEEK
TWO |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| 2006 E3 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: |
|
|
| K Kline |
|
|
| Fast? Yes.
Anywhere nearly worth the $41K a week he costs? Um…no.
Could his defense make him worth that someday? Yes.
But for Balto, he needs to do it now. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| C Krypell |
|
|
| S Gordon |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| J Kennedy |
|
|
| R4 |
|
|
| The draft pick probably sealed
the deal here, as both teams give up guys that would be starting for them. |
|
|
| Arkansas cuts: |
|
|
| R Powell |
|
|
| As you can see, Powell's
release has not spun the world off of its axis. Maybe if he were good… |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
gets: |
|
|
| B Hanna |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| $5K |
|
|
| Hanna is a good
hole-clogger. But that's it. He can't tackle, and he has no speed. But, that does still help shore up the Cape
run defense a bunch. |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: |
|
|
| J Horwitz |
|
|
| D Allevare |
|
|
| We've entered desperation
territory in terms of helping the abysmal Thunder Shark pass D. What's sad is that both of these guys will
log significant minutes. But the
Sharks are improving. |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
cuts: |
|
|
| T Niel |
|
|
| M Martin |
|
|
| T Tanphaichitr |
|
|
| J Beeler |
|
|
| B White |
|
|
| Although these guys do have
something to add to the Rush roster, they didn't have enough to really even
bother with to any great extent. |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
signs: |
|
|
| B Keegan |
|
|
| D Prince |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau cuts: |
|
|
| M Santo |
|
|
| S Torrea |
|
|
| R Fabi |
|
|
| No one thought it was
possible, but the Rush have turned themselves into a very competent team. |
|
|
| Jackson signs: |
|
|
| S Austin |
|
|
| Austin is a solid player,
could even start for the Generals. |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| $50K |
|
|
| Diablo Valley gets: |
|
|
| S Colemont |
|
|
| Hah. Buffalo trades $60K for nothing, when you
expand it. |
|
|
| Evansville
cuts: |
|
|
| M Remer |
|
|
| S Lowery |
|
|
| R Churan |
|
|
| They've got better. It's that simple. |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
gets: |
|
|
| G Ajo |
|
|
| Evansville gets: |
|
|
| $20K |
|
|
| Not a bad deal here, Ajo is a
competent player, and he will do good things for the Rush. |
|
|
| OIFL/OIF2 WEEK
ONE - DURING GAME TIME STUFF |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
cuts: |
|
|
| J Morrison |
|
|
| B Keegan |
|
|
| Neither were that great,
although the cutting of Keegan is a bit of a surprise. |
|
|
| Rosemont cuts: |
|
|
| E Ere |
|
|
| J Abraham |
|
|
| Rosemont signs: |
|
|
| D Hicks |
|
|
| B Janiston |
|
|
| R White |
|
|
| Just shuffling a bit to make
the team better for the season. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| $17K |
|
|
| Tampa Bay gets: |
|
|
| L Bauer |
|
|
| Bauer is a decent lineman that
may even be a starter for the Marauders before it's all said and done. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: |
|
|
| D Sugarbush |
|
|
| Although a bit expensive,
Sugarbush's good outweighs his bad. I
see him getting some playing time for the Squirrels. |
|
|
| Halifax cuts: |
|
|
| H Lassiter |
|
|
| D Prince |
|
|
| E Perry |
|
|
| N Day |
|
|
| S Austin |
|
|
| J Dion |
|
|
| Cutting some overpriced talent
here. Halifax still has a pretty good
team. |
|
|
| Seattle cuts: |

|
| E Daniels |
|
|
| Seattle signs: |
|
|
| T Houlihan |
|
|
| It's a sad day when Thomas
Houlihan is an upgrade (and a significant one) for an OIFL team. But, the Sonic Boom are really making a
concerted effort to get better, so we'll take it. |
|

| A Bassam |
|
|
| V Prietiello |
|
|
| S Carr |
|
|
| D Hester |
|
|
| D Joseph |
|
|
| Gotta get a team that has some
sort of chance, or even somewhat close to a full roster, yes? The team way out in the Pacific has issues
that need addressed, now. |
|
|
| Omaha cuts: |
|
|
| P Novak |
|
|
| A Legstrom |
|
|
| M Wright |
|
|
| B Baxter |
|
|
| These four walked the
plank. But don't worry, someone else
will have a boat down at water level to pick them up before it's all said and
done. It's a testament to Omaha's
depth that |
|
|
| guys that could start
elsewhere in this league are cut fodder. |

| K Rellent |
|
|
| About freaking time! The Generals so desperately needed some
talent on this roster, and they got some, by lucky way of Buffalo making
their cuts. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
signs: |
|
|
| J Morrison |
|
|
| I have a hard time believeing
that Morrison will stay on the TB roster as the season draws nearer. |
|
|
| Mobile loans
to Evansville |
|
|
| J Jenkins |
|
|
| Z Jackson |
|
|
| Mobile responsible for Z
Jackson salary, Evansville owes $40K upon return. |
|
|
| These are solid players that
have had time to sit back under (easily) the best pass game in the OIFL. Evansville's offense will benefit here. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
gets: |
|
|
| S Flagel |
|
|
| Evansville gets: |
|
|
| $16K |
|
|
| Flagel has OIFL experience,
but hasn't played since the 2001 season.
And he played for a 1-15 Winnipeg team. And it's not like he's THAT great a player. But he will help the TB defense. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
loans to Cape Girardeau: |
|
|
| T Remer |
|
|
| Remer is a WRDB that could
start for OIFL teams, let alone be possibly the best DS candidate in the
OIF2. |
|
|
| Tampa Bay
cuts: |
|
|
| A Davis |
|
|
| G Miggs |
|
|
| Tampa Bay signs: |
|
|
| B Keegan |
|
|
| Salary dump, but the team may
be overall better defensively after the Keegan signing, anyways. |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
signs: |
|
|
| B West |
|
|
| T Tanphaichitr |
|
|
| R Fabi |
|
|
| At this stage, you look to see
"can they bring something to my team?" And these guys all can bring something to
an OIF2 team, especially one that's still overall talent-poor |
|
|
| like the Cape is. But they're a lot closer than they were a
week ago. |
|
|
| Tucson signs: |
|
|
| D Addis |
|
|
| Not sure where Addis fits in
here, but he is cheap. |
|
|
| New Hampshire
signs: |
|
|
| J Cunningham |
|
|
| D Carpenter |
|
|
| T Collier |
|
|
| When you're as talent-poor as
the lack of activity made New Hampshire, a team is forced to scrape the
bottom of the barrel. This is what you
get. |
|
|
| Buffalo cuts: |
|
|
| M Hodge |
|
|
| W Winkelman |
|
|
| D O'Neil |
|
|
| D Burnett |
|
|
| B Janiston |
|
|
| D Sugarbush |
|
|
| These guys aren't going to
bring the Storm an OIFLCup Victory.
But you can bet the OIF2 teams will be looking very closely at them. |
|
|
| Cleveland
loans to Tampa Bay: |
|
|
| M Benjamin |
|
|
| D Krispinsky |
|
|
| Although the little brat
doesn't have the receding hairline I do, Cleveland was pulling their hair out
trying to figure out who to loan. The
Bolts have high hopes for both these guys, |
|
|
| but those hopes for the
players are now moves to bringing an OIF2 Title to the Bay. |
|
|
| Portland loans
to Tucson: |
|
|
| A Murphy |
|
|
| Portland gets another backup
depth guy some playing time, and Tucson finds a versatile OIF2er. |
|
|
| OIFL/OIF2 WEEK
ONE - LATE WEEK |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
signs: |
|
|
| B Thornton |
|
|
| Good depth guy, which a team
like the Rush desperately needs. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
cuts: |
|
|
| B Poindexter |
|
|
| Why pay these guys so darn
much when there's no effort to actually keep them? |
|
|
| Rosemont
signs: |
|
|
| J Whitfield |
|
|
| T Gant |
|
|
| These aren't superstars, but
both of these guys do have a shot to get serious playing time for the
Horizons. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| W Wimmer |
|
|
| Diablo Valley gets: |
|
|
| $1.5K |
|
|
| Not sure why the Squirrels
need a backup quarterback, but I'll go with it. |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
gets: |
|
|
| W Harwood (eventually) |
|
|
| J Seau |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| $10K |
|
|
| R5 |
|
|
| R6 |
|
|
| You're kidding, right? |
|
|
| Las Vegas
loans to Omaha: |
|
|
| G Peterson |
|
|
| This helps the Destroyer line,
and gives Vegas another player with playing time. |
|
|
| Wichita loans
to Omaha: |
|
|
| L Peskin |
|
|
| K Breen |
|
|
| Peskin is a fairly poor
loaner, by other standards, with his leadership. Breen gives Omaha another really good WRDB. |
|
|
| San Francisco
loans to Cincinnati: |
|
|
| W Stubbs |
|
|
| Stubbs is a rookie that the
Sharks really like, but he doesn't have much of a place to play in San
Fran. A year in the OIF2 may change
that. |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
cuts: |
|
|
| R Bennett |
|
|
| B Lewis |
|
|
| J Green |
|
|
| K Matthews |

| J Pryor |
|
|
| Nothing gained, nothing lost. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: |
|
|
| L Zahand |
|
|
| $20K |
|
|
| Evansville gets: |
|
|
| J Annette |
|
|
| I wonder if this has anything
to do with me questioning signing a $20K/week backup OLDL? |
|
|
| San Francisco
loans to Cape Girardeau: |
|
|
| J Wilson |
|
|
| Wilson has a shot to be the
starting OS for the Rush. If he's not
the starter, then this was a waste of time. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: |
|
|
| M Remer |
|
|
| R Churan |
|
|
| S Lowery |
|
|
| Just watch, they'll all get
cut. With that said, Remer and Churan
have legit OIFL starting experience. |
|
|
| OIFL/OIF2 WEEK
ONE - EARLY WEEK |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| J Smith |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: |
|
|
| $43K |
|
|
| Jim Smith is a hard-nosed WRDB
that gets those tough yards every time.
The man plays well above his numbers, and Tucson got him for cash. |
|
|
| Tucson gets: |
|
|
| K Lewis |
|
|
| B Arledge |
|
|
| Evansville gets: |
|
|
| D Katz |
|
|
| T McCarthy |
|
|
| Tucson had a bunch of RBLBs
available, and gave a decent one and a fair lineman for Kang Lewis, the star
of this deal, and a backup QB. Not bad
either way. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| $16K |
|
|
| Diablo Valley gets: |
|
|
| J Price |
|
|
| Fair deal both ways. The Squirrels could have gotten more for
Price, but not enough more to worry about it.
A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush, or something like
that. |
|
|
| Connecticut
gets: |
|
|
| A Fred |
|
|
| K Butler |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| W Harwood |
|
|
| L Johnson |
|
|
| K Palatzky |
|
|
| J Abraham |
|
|
| R Pecchio |
|
|
| I'm not sure I like this deal
for Rosemont. Yeah, they get 5
players, and yeah, Al Fred was expendable with the acquisition of Tyler
Wright, but I don't like losing Kelly Butler |
|
|
| here. Butler was one of Rosemont's best players,
easily. Perhaps his speed of '5'
scared the Horizons off, I'm not sure. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| J Annette |
|
|
| $20K/week for a 9-5
lineman? Balto needed the depth, but
this was a bit painful! |
|
|
| Arkansas gets: |
|
|
| $8K |
|
|
| Evansville gets: |
|
|
| M Gervelis |
|
|
| Gervelis is not a star or a
stud, but he is fast, and can be worked on.
Not a bad deal either way. |
|
|
| Arkansas
signs: |
|
|
| J Whiteside |
|
|
| One of those marginal
upgrades, barely worth talking about.
But the team is still active, so we do need to mention it. |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: |
|
|
| D Monette |
|
|
| Evansville cuts: |
|
|
| M Vietti |
|
|
| G Schilling |
|
|
| B Waverick |
|
|
| There is this old store on
South Main Street in Akron called the Surplus Store. Darn thing has an old mini blimp thingee on
a stick as its logo. That's where
these three cuts will be found, |
|
|
| right next to the surplus
hardware tools. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| nominal fee |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |
|
|
| B Donovan |
|
|
| Basically, the Lightning gave
Donovan to Omaha. And Donovan gets to
play against the Lightning this weekend.
Wheee! |
|
|
| Seattle loans
to Corpus Christi: |
|
|
| J Kaleo |
|
|
| Since the Riptide seem to have
no qualms about spending, Seattle has no problem dumping $33K/week onto them. |
|
|
| Portland loans
to Evansville: |
|
|
| R Wray |
|
|
| Wray is a player that the
Pioneers really like, but want to give more playing time without hurting the
OIFL team any. This does that. |
|
|
| Corpus Christi
signs: |
|
|
| N Vanderbrockland |
|
|
| Corpus Christi cuts: |
|
|
| J Whitfield |
|
|
| Vanderbrockland is an upgrade
over Whitfield, who was as obvious a salary dump as we've seen. |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| S Colemont |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| $110K |
|
|
| The Barracudas get a
considerable chunk of change for an average OIFL lineman. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| G Wilson |
|
|
| Mobile gets: |
|
|
| J Jenkins |
|
|
| $10K |
|
|
| Needing a running back badly
is something…trading a decent OIF2 receiver and cash for a mediocre-at-best
one might not be something to remedy that. |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| K Pung |
|
|
| P Bateman |
|
|
| $687811.98. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| So Buffalo gets two-thirds of
a million dollars and some scrubs for an E1.
Did they not get the memo that Detroit was earlier this year paying
$1.5M for E1s? |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| J Beck |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| nominal fee |
|
|
| At first, I thought this was a
salary dump. $2500 isn't anything
worth dumping, so this could also be construed as LA cuts, Evansville
signs. I can see why LA didn't charge
anything. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| P Reese |
|
|
| Diablo Valley gets: |
|
|
| N Harris |
|
|
| Reese is a good player for the
OIF2, but Harris is an OIFL playoff experienced quarterback. You have to jump on that when given the
opportunity. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
loans to Diablo Valley: |
|
|
| P Marntos |
|
|
| G Cooper |
|
|
| Easily, two starters for the
Vipers. LA keeps the rights to two
good backups, and saves a bunch on salary. |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
signs: |
|
|
| J Anderson |
|
|
| T Niel |
|
|
| Backup holes being filled
here. |
|
|
| Evansville
gets: |
|
|
| $5K |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau gets: |
|
|
| M Martin |
|
|
| S Torrea |
|
|
| M Hanson |
|
|
| G Fedele |
|
|
| J Strong |

|
|
| R Moodley |
|
|
| B White |
|
|
| A Ehmke |
|
|
| M DeFreeze |
|
|
| And the Squirrels have hit the
24-man roster limit, while making Cape Girardeau at least a fairly legitimate
OIF2 team. |
|
|
| PRESEASON -
MARCH 28, 2005 |
|
|
| Evansville
signs: |
|
|
| K Stewart |
|
|
| Stewart isn't a world-class
lineman, but he serves the purpose of filling a need for the Squirrels. Backup lineman are a good commodity to
have. |
|
|
| Cape Girardeau
signs: |
|
|
| J Beeler |
|
|
| K Matthews |
|
|
| J Green |
|
|
| The outgoing Greenville
ownership gives Cape Girardeau fans a little carrot to at least think they
have a chance with the current roster.
New ownership may want to |
|
|
| check out what Rosemont did in
order to get a general idea as to how to build a team in no time flat. |
|
|
| Arkansas cuts: |
|
|
| T Gant |
|
|
| A Gamble |
|
|
| After getting loaned players
and the sort, gotta make cuts somewhere.
These guys weren't going to see the field in Arkansas, anyways. |
|
|
| Cincinnati
signs: |
|
|
| J Thon |
|
|
| Cincinnati cuts: |
|
|
| M Lewis |
|
|
| Thon is mostly an offensive
specialist, as he plays that "oh God please don't let them throw it at
Thon" kind of pass defense. But,
he's an overall upgrade over Lewis. |
|
|
| Seattle cuts: |
|
|
| C Popalopolous |
|
|
| H Wiltbrod |
|
|
| S Peebles |
|

|
|
| D Hicks |
|
|
| W Fox |
|
|
| J Whiteside |
|
|
| J Horwitz |
|
|
| MASSIVE SALARY DUMP! Not that these guys were worth their
salaries, anyways. Seattle had to
purge the roster somehow, and no one's paying these guys' salaries. |
|
|

|
|
| E Ere |
|
|
| Jimmy D |
|
|
| T Wright |
|
|
| J Seils |
|
|
| M Preece |
|
|
| After taking over La Salle,
the Rosemont franchise has a LOT of work to do to become competent from
roster spots 1-24. This move helps
accomplish that. |
|
|
| Shreveport
cuts: |
|
|
| D Carpenter |
|
|
| T Reese |
|
|
| I doubt cutting $875/week
worth of salary (yes, $875, not $875K) counts as a salary dump. They got better players via loan, so these
two gotta go. |
|
|
| San Antonio
loans to Rosemont: |
|
|
| B Malloy |
|
|
| Stipulation on Malloy is that
he has to start at DS for every game, or Rosemont owes San Antonio a cool
$250K. Honestly, I wonder if Rosemont
would be allowed to start |
|
|
| Malloy at the RBLB/DB spot, as
he is probably better than any RB that the Horizons have. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: |
|
|
| L Willingham |
|
|
| New England gets: |
|
|
| E3 |
|
|
| D2 |
|
|
| And now we know why the
Rattlers were so willing to loan out young Bruce Malloy. Willingham is a solid linebacker/DS. |
|
|
| Rosemont gets: |
|
|
| K Stringtown |
|
|
| S Gordon |
|
|
| M Hunt |
|
|

|
|
| Diablo Valley gets: |
|
|
| $30K |
|
|
| R4 |
|
|
| R6 |
|
|
| Are these world champion
players? No. Do they help Rosemont become a legitimate
OIF2 franchise? Yes. And, Diablo Valley gets something for guys
they were going to |
|
|
| cut anyways. Both teams benefit here. |
|
|
| Seattle loans
to Rosemont: |
|
|
| R Porter |
|
|
| I guess this is just to save
the Sonic Boom cap space, as they need bodies. Porter can make an impact for the Horizons. |
|
|
| PRESEASON -
MARCH 24, 2005 |
|
|
| Diablo Valley
signs: |
|
|
| J Boyd |

may find himself as the starter when all shakes out this preseason. |
|
|
| Memphis loans
to Shreveport: |
|
|
| G Jamison |
|
|
| M Merrick |

|
| D Sugarbush |
|
|
| $100K |
|
|
| Memphis gets: |
|
|

|
|
| Carper works well in that
Memphis system, while Sugarbush is a drop in salary…Buffalo needed a salary
dump in their minds, I guess. |

|
|
| E1 |

| It's hard to get value for
what will be an early E1 pick, but Seattle could have done better than a
group of guys they'd of been able to pick up off the scrap heap soon enough. |

They'll need that here. |

|
| Detroit loans
to Corpus Christi: |
|
|
| S Oyakawa |
|
|
| The first of what will likely
be many loans, Oyakawa is a good OS, but he is a poor possession guy. |
|
|
| Diablo Valley

|
|
| PJ Reese |
|
|
| Buffalo gets |
|
|
| $15K |
|
|
| player to be named later |
|
|
| The only way Buffalo gets
equal value off an OIF2 team is if the later named player is PJ Reese. |
|

| Baltimore gets |
|
|
| O Williams |
|
|
| $25K |
|
|
| Cincinnati gets |
|
|
| M Peters |
|
|
| Peters is an upgrade for the
Queen City, and he's a salary dump for the Breakers. Balto doesn't lose much here, but
depth. They can likely find that
elsewhere. |

|
|
| Edminster is a good lineman, I
think Baltimore got the better of this deal.
Don't see why Portland couldn't use the depth in a very tough OIFL. |

|
|
| Rule #1: When you can get something for something
you were going to cut anyways, you do it.
Rochester, though, does get a bunch of depth, and may actually have
better players |
|
|
| than they gave up. Not a bad deal either way, though. |

| I don't see why Janiston is in
this mess (he is cut material and nothing else), but Buffalo did a good job
going after Vegas, who is looking to cut guys and give |

| You want to call it a salary

| they're going to be getting
(Watson & Gervelis). I don't see
where most of this deal (save Lebovitz) even comes close to helping the
Riptide, either. |

|
|
| Detroit gets: |

Detroit gets rid of a QB |

|
| A Bennett |
|
|
| Corpus Christi gets: |
|
|
| A Ogden |
|
|
| Ogden isn't as good as Bennett
with his feet, or holding onto the ball…but when you have a 10-10 passer, and
you trade him for a marginally better 8-8 passer, that's |
|
|
| a poor move, ESPECIALLY WHEN
YOU ADD SALARY. Maybe we now know why
Corpus brought in all that high-priced talent. |

$400K. Oh, wait…Detroit's biggest
problem was WRDB and Hopkins helps solve that. |
|

| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| $90K |
|
|

they were in 2004. |

|
|
| F Kern |
|
|
| Omaha gets: |

|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| W Sir |
|
|
| R Nickoson |
|
|
| Memphis gets: |
|
|
| M Workman |
|
|
| Provision: If Workman gets less than 14 sacks, the E1
becomes an E2 and E4. |
|
|
| And how exactly does this help
Lincoln? I agree with the move to use
strengths to shore up weaknesses, but I don't really think this does it. |
|
|
| The E1, though, could be
somewhat helpful, although it will likely be late in the round. |
|
|
| Lincoln cuts: |
|
|
| C Bryant |
|

these guys can help OIF2 teams, and I bet at least one is drafted. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
cuts: |
|
|
| R Pecchio |
|
|
| T Niel |
|
|
| I don't know why Pecchio was

weren't ever going to do anything for the Sting. |

|
|
| T Hickerson |
|
|
| With drafting a kicker, these
guys weren't needed, though I think MacDonald was the best kicker of the
three. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| R Little |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: |
|
|
| B Lintner |
|
|
| J Smith |
|
|
| All of the players involved
here have serious flaws, but San Antonio gets a rookie with quite a bit of
upside, so they win this deal. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| J Glass |
|
|
| Cleveland gets: |
|
|
| B Glass |
|
|
| Jesse is a slight upgrade at
the QB position for Detroit…but they lose for all intents and purposes the
heart and soul of that defense, although it's something |
|
|
| Uhl has wanted to get rid of
for ages in some way or another.
Something tells me the Gargoyle fans will NOT be happy with this move. |
|
|
| Cleveland gets a HUGE upgrade
to their defense in Glass. Don't look
at the ratings…look at the results. |
|
|
| Washington gets: |
|
|
| $200K |
|
|
| Cleveland gets: |
|
|
| D2-8 |
|
|
| An extremely poor trade for
the Thunderbolts, as the talent level for the D2-8 isn't THAT good. But, the Bolts needed players, so why not? |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| $175K |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| D1-15 |
|
|
| A bit better deal than the
previous one, but I don't see why the Lightning needed someone that badly. |
|
|
| Cleveland
gets: |
|
|
| D2 |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: |
|
|
| $170K |
|
|
| Cleveland is just trying to
buy a full roster here. Maybe free
agency would have been a better solution? |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| $150K |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| E2-15 |
|
|
| E3-2 |
|
|
| E3-17 |
|
|
| E4-17 |
|
|
| E5-14 |
|
|
| Lincoln was only trying to get
one or both of the sleepers. So, this
trade boils down to Larry Zimmerman for $150,000. Yeah, not bad at all for the Lightning. |
|
|
| Cleveland
gets: |
|
|
| E5 |
|
|
| Mobile gets: |
|
|
| $6K |
|
|
| Cleveland needs talent this
badly? Yikes! |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: |
|
|
| E4-17 |
|
|
| Mobile gets: |
|
|
| $5K |
|
|
| San Antonio may find a gem in
the rough with the E4-17 here, and $5K is nothing in this league, so why not? |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| E5-12 |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: |
|
|
| $8K |
|
|
| SA basically moves up 15 picks
overall, and nets $3,000. Not a bad
day's work. Dallas gets another
player, which will probably make their roster when all |
|
|
| is said and done. |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| E5-18 |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| $6K |
|
|
| Buffalo gets about market
value for a guy who coulda made their final 30. I think a team as new and poor as the Storm
should have kept the player. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| E5-19 |
|
|
| Dodge City gets: |
|
|
| $1K |
|
|
| The Daggers don't really need
any more talent. Lincoln could have
saved the pocket lint if they hadn't passed their pick a few before this
one. Oops! |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| S Rasheed |
|
|
| S Slabody (post-draft) |
|
|
| $50K |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| R Wray (post-draft) |
|
|
| Slabody has tremendous upside
for Buffalo, and Rasheed fills a need for one, at the expense of a now-glut
for the other. Not that Rasheed is all
that great, |
|
|
| but where does Ramon Wray
really help the Pioneers get to the promised land? |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| B Chad |
|
|
| T O'Donahue |
|
|
| 2006 E2 |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| D Tickner |
|
|
| Tickner is a great lineman
that only has to work a bit on his speed to become one of the better OL in
the OIFL. If Portland would have kept
guys like Ellis and Woods, this |
|
|
| line would be a top-5 OLDL in
the OIFL. As it is, Razorman and
Tickner have the core of what will still be a good one. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| E4 2006 |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: |
|
|
| D1-11 |
|
|
| No, Mike. Tell us what you REALLY think about the
quality of this year's Dispersal Draft. |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| L James |
|
|
| F Bures |
|
|
| P Reese |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| C Macrides |
|
|
| D1-4 |
|
|
| LA gets what will be a
top-notch player with the D1-4, but they also add one of the OIFL's most
overpaid players in Macrides. Buffalo
brings in three good-quality |
|
|
| players that will be
starters. I'd say Buffalo probably
gets the better of it here. |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| E5-2 |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: |
|
|
| G Skont |
|
|
| $20K |
|
|
| Baltimore gets 20K for an
E5-2…if they think Skont will be a quality starting OIFL lineman, they better
prepare for the #1 pick in the 2006 draft. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
gets: |
|
|
| D McCallister |
|
|
| D2-11 |
|
|
| New England gets: |
|
|
| K Harbaugh |
|
|
| So…LA trades a speed burning
receiver with good DB skills in Harbaugh to get an average running back and a
practice squad dispersal draft pick? |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: |
|
|
| R Greene |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| D2-2 |
|
|
| E3-2 |
|
|
| LA will save money and get
some decent talent out of this trade, while Baltimore will get a guy who
really hasn't proven anything…but is paid like he has. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| D1-1 |
|
|
| $10K |
|
|
| Albany gets: |
|
|
| K Street |
|
|
| E4-21 |
|
|
| Kelvin Street is the best
offensive player in the OIFL, without a doubt. Gary Boddy is probably the best player in
the OIFL. An OLDL of Jonathan
Pritchett, |
|
|
| Gary Boddy and Anthony Smith
just isn't right. Lincoln has made
itself the Western Conference's favorite with that move. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
gets: |
|
|
| E1-5 |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| E1-18 |
|
|
| $1.5M |
|
|
| A great deal for Dallas, as
they get some much-needed cash to help their new effort in a new city, and
drop down 13 picks to get a much cheaper, |
|
|
| but still-effective
player. Vegas wanted the star-talent,
and they will get it, though. |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| D1-4 |
|
|
| E2-3 |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| D1-3 |
|
|
| E5-3 |
|
|
| E5-18 |
|
|
| Buffalo trades a good good
player to move up in the dispersal draft one pick. With the level of players in that draft
quickly dwindling as picks go on, I am not |
|
|
| that disappointed with this
move. |
|
|
| Albany gets: |
|
|
| D1-1 |
|
|
| E3-22 |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| J Colombo |
|
|
| 2006 E2 |
|
|
| Michael Uhl prides himself on
being the guy who can trade two OIFL MVPs (Perry Tuttle and Grayson Norman)
and yet become a better team with each move.
I don't |
|
|
| care HOW he spins this
one. You don't trade Gary Boddy for
John Marc Colombo…with a couple of mid round picks in there, and become a
better team. |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| E5-20 |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| 2006 E5 |
|
|
| Just in case Detroit goes
bankrupt, they have an extra E5 in 2006.
Notice any sarcasm there? |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: |
|
|
| D Davis |
|
|
| Los Angeles gets: |
|
|
| E2 |
|
|
| This is a pretty even
trade. San Antonio will get the better
of it if Davis can play DB, something he was never asked to do in the Fort. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: |
|
|
| M Mauller |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| E2 |
|
|
| $550K |
|
|
| Washington does get the better
of this deal here, because Mauller will fit very well into the Attack
system. Lincoln could get a good
backup with the E2, though. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| $300K |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: |
|
|
| A King |
|
|
| Alexander King isn't a bad
player, will at least highly contend for a starting spot in San Antonio. I think Lincoln could have kept him on as a
good backup, though. |
|
|
| Albany signs: |
|
|
| H Blackmon (15500) |
|
|
| Not a bad move for Albany, but
it completely loses value once considered that the Firebirds traded for
Kelvin Street. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| P Denny (5000) |
|
|
| L Stocker (4000) |
|
|
| This is how you win in free
agency. Player doesn't want to sign
with you, so you let him go…and bring him back at a lower price. And Baltimore did it twice! |
|
|
| Buffalo signs: |
|
|
| C Macrides (70000) |
|
|
| W Ziemba (27000) |
|
|
| J Marcius (25000) |
|
|
| J Burnett (20000) |
|
|
| J Garlett (18000) |
|
|
| O Thompson (14000) |
|
|
| J Weiss (14000) |
|
|
| Omar Thompson isn't a bad
deal. Jeff Garlett can turn into
something worth his salary. The other
5 range from "pretty bad overpay" to "what in the God's world
was |
|
|
| he thinking?" $70,000 for Christopher Macrides? You don't think mid-level players aren't
going to jump on free agency after the 2005 season now? |
|
|
| Dallas signs: |
|
|
| A Williams (19000) |
|
|
| C Samuels (16000) |
|
|
| F Mason (13000) |
|
|
| G Intianiosmith (11670) |
|
|
| J Correll (11500) |
|
|
| A Henderson (10000) |
|
|
| For a brand new franchise in
the OIFL, and an owner who only had 4 or 5 games in the OIF2, these signings
overall were pretty good, actually. |
|
|
| Intianiosmith will be a
starter without question. Mason and
Samuels will challenge to start.
Correll's also a good kicker to bring on board. |
|
|
| Detroit signs: |
|
|
| O Lekote (13500) |
|
|
| J Smith (10500) |
|
|
| J Davis (4000) |
|
|
| M Baran (2500) |
|
|
| Where do these moves help
Detroit? Lekote and Smith are decent
backups on the Gargoyle roster, but Davis and Baran? |
|
|
| Dodge City
signs: |
|
|
| P Tuttle (68000) |
|
|
| L Peterson (65500) |
|
|
| P Alexander (15500) |
|
|
| P Muelker (15500) |
|
|
| K McLeod (12500) |
|
|
| B Faulter (6000) |
|
|
| S Hummer (5500) |
|
|
| The Daggers now have
experience at all 3 QB slots, and got back the guys they gave a break and let
play in free agency, at reasonable prices for what |
|
|
| they bring to the table. One of the better FA jobs this year. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
signs: |
|
|
| T Remer (18000) |
|
|
| B Boyd (7200) |
|
|
| Nothing terribly exciting
here, really. Remer may get some
playing time in Vegas. |
|
|
| Lincoln signs: |
|
|
| A King (14000) |
|
|
| T Adgate (11000) |
|
|
| D Atari (8500) |
|
|
| L Plevin (7500) |
|
|
| M York (7000) |
|
|
| P Bateman (7000) |
|
|
| P Bright (6000) |
|
|
| K Pung (4000) |
|
|
| D McKnight (3000) |
|
|
| Lincoln came into free agency
with the expressed intent to improve their depth. They did it, and didn't overspend for any
of the players, either. |
|
|
| Los Angeles
signs: |
|
|
| R Greene (31000) |
|
|
| D Vickers (22500) |
|
|
| L James (20500) |
|
|
| S Colemont (19500) |
|
|
| P Reese (18000) |
|
|
| D Davis (18000) |
|
|
| J Kelly (15000) |
|
|
| N Harris (15000) |
|
|
| C Kilano (13000) |
|
|
| F Bures (10500) |
|
|
| B Gaither (5000) |
|
|
| The Barracudas certainly made
a splash, but since they just paid $8 million to move…they may have just
overextended themselves. They will
probably be having |
|
|
| to sell some of this stuff
off. And what's up with signing three
quarterbacks? |
|
|
| New England
signs: |
|
|
| W Hayes (71000) |
|
|
| D McCallister (30500) |
|
|
| S Peyton (20000) |
|
|
| N Vander Wlip (10000) |
|
|
| M Cranston (9500) |
|
|
| T Williams (9500) |
|
|
| New England needed to make a
splash from a disappointing 2004.
Woody Hayes is a splash…but a darned expensive one. He better deliver as the top OLDL |
|
|
| the SnoDogs have ever
had. McCallister is also overpriced,
but not that grotesquely. The Dogs
have the money, at least, to pay these guys. |
|
|
| Portland
signs: |
|
|
| M Razorman (55500) |
|
|
| R Mays (50000) |
|
|
| Razorman helps put together a
very formidable line in Portland…oh wait, they traded Ellis and Woods. Never mind.
Mays is definetly overpriced here. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: |
|
|
| C Thompson (15500) |
|
|
| C Berrenta (12500) |
|
|
| T Trump (12500) |
|
|
| F Hightower (12000) |
|
|
| J Briston (7500) |
|
|
| S Britnall (5500) |
|
|
| This was a good group of
players to pull in from free agency.
San Antonio will have trouble in a tough Central Division, and the
depth here will help them compete. |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: |
|
|
| W Tyler (28000) |
|
|
| T Hickerson (12000) |
|
|
| F Josten (6000) |
|
|
| T Tyson (5000) |
|
|
| 2/4 on this free agency
market. Tyler is a great player for
$28K as he plays above his ratings every week. Fritz Josten will be a fine backup. |
|
|
| Hickerson is worse than the
kicker they have overall, and linemen that can't blitz are useless…so 2/4. |
|
|
| Washington
signs: |
|
|
| J Paull (28000) |
|
|
| That's a bit hot for Paull,
who hasn't done that much in his career.
And I don't know why spending $28K when you have Greg Tomas on the
roster was necessary, |
|
|
| but Washington has been
spending pretty big all offseason, so this was relatively mild. |
|
|
| Wichita signs: |
|
|
| D Narcise (17000) |
|
|
| L Hughley (11500) |
|
|
| T Randle (10500) |
|
|
| J Fisher (6000) |
|
|
| Not too bad with any of
this. Hughley is probably the only
potential starter, though. |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| D2 |
|
|
| E3 |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| E2 |
|
|
| I'd say this trade is pretty
even. Buffalo will get the best
player, as the dispersal draft still sharply declines in value after the
first round, I think. |
|
|
| However, Dallas gets two
players that will be able to log playing time, which is what they
need…especially since said players will be cheap. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: |
|
|
| D1 |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| $800K |
|
|
| E5-18 |
|
|
| So Dallas trades their E1 for
$750K, and then gets $800K for their D1.
Maybe I should just stop asking.
How's that sound? |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| E4 |
|
|
| Dallas gets: |
|
|
| $750K |
|
|
| I'm not sure why Dallas only
accpeted half of what other teams had gotten out of the Gargoyles, but hey,
if it gives the Gargoyles a third straight title, whatever works. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| $1.5M |
|
|
| Detroit bails the Storm out of
debt a bit, and becomes a much stronger team in the process. |
|
|
| Again. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: |
|
|
| J Cant |
|
|
| E5-11 |
|
|
| E5-18 |
|
|
| $50K |
|
|
| Wichita gets: |
|
|
| T Doxen |
|
|
| E3-1 |
|
|
| Wichita gets a bonafide star
in Todd Doxen, while the Rattlers save a load of money on Jason Cant. I like the deal for Wichita, as they have
the money to pay Doxen. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: |
|
|
| D1-4 |
|
|
| Seattle gets: |
|
|
| $25K |
|
|
| The Sonic Boom have a LOT to
learn…this is almost as bad as E1-2 for Robert Westmoreland. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: |
|
|
| E1-11 |
|
|
| New England gets: |
|
|
| $2 million |
|
|
| New England doesn't need
cash. They need improved talent. This doesn't get that job done, folks. |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| T O'Donahue |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: |
|
|
| D2-10 |
|
|
| Pretty even trade, depending
on what the Rattlers want. |
|
|
| Cleveland
gets: |
|
|
| E2-20 |
|
|
| E5 |
|
|
| Washington gets: |
|
|
| D Gould |
|
|
| Cleveland basically trades
their third string OS for what will be an upper-tier backup and a young
developmental player. And they save
money. Not bad work, guys. |
|
|
| Columbus cuts: |
|
|
| S Kolkemeyer |
|
|
| D Hellis |
|
|
| Neither player was worth much,
and the slightly-above $110,000 they had to pay out to get rid of them was
just going to be magnified if they stayed on the team. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| Kansas gets: |
|
|
| $2M |
|
|
| Detroit has paid $5.5 million,
peanuts to them really, and now have picks 3, 4, and 5 in the first
round. I have a feeling Manny Phillips
will have a strong third-coast |
|
|
| offense to work with this
year. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: |
|
|
| E Klein |
|
|
| B Tropff |
|
|
| New York gets: |
|
|
| $90K |
|
|
| Okay…I understand that New
York needs money. But I think they
could have done a lot better than this in the bank if they're trading players
for money. |
|
|
| I wonder how long the Lions
will be around, honestly. |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| T Olivares |
|
|
| Washington gets: |
|
|
| P Ellis |
|
|
| Washington once had 20 draft
picks in a season. Now, they have 2 or
3…and are replacing that with star-level talent. Paul Ellis is an all-star caliber player, |
|
|
| and although losing Olivares
AND a first round pick hurts, stars are worth their weight in gold in the
OIFL. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| Seattle gets: |
|
|
| $1.5M |
|
|
| Detroit's again buying
picks…$3.5 million and now they have two likely future stars in the
OIFL. But, Seattle is now financially
solvent, and they do have a fairly |
|
|
| good team. But, they will have to gameplan better for
the tougher OIFL competition. |
|
|
| Albany gets: |
|
|
| $2M |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| E1-5 |
|
|
| 2006 E4 |
|
|
| Detroit has the money, and
they want the picks to offset the loss of players like Wildman and
Doxen. Albany expanded their arena,
and needed funds. Problem |
|
|
| solved in both measures. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: |
|
|
| D2 |
|
|
| Brinkhaven/League gets: |
|
|
| R Brownings |
|
|
| R Morris |
|
|
| M Hunt |
|
|
| Brownings is a legit player
for the dispersal draft, and could certainly go in the first round, making
this deal good for the league. |
|
|
| Albany gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| $10K |
|
|
| Baltimore gets: |
|
|
| R Westmoreland |
|
|
| And the point of this
was…Baltimore gives up what will be a top-tier OIFL player and some cash to
get a guy who might fill a need at a position THEY DON'T NEED! |
|
|
| Albany wins this one with no
ifs, ands or buts about it. Only
benefit for Balto is if Westy gets 400 yards in the teams' 2 meetings… |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: |
|
|
| F Freshley |
|
|
| E4 |
|
|
| Wichita gets: |
|
|
| L Dibbles |
|
|
| For a brand new OIFL owner,
San Antonio isn't doing a bad job.
Freshley is going to be a good stopgap on the line. Dibbles brings nothing to Wichita. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| D1 (2005) |
|
|
| E5 (2006) |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: |
|
|
| T Doxen |
|
|
| The first pick in the
dispersal draft will be a fine player…maybe not quite Doxen level, but a good
one. Both teams did well here. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| E4 |
|
|
| Brinkhaven/League gets: |
|
|
| P Bucar |
|
|
| Yeah, Bucar didn't get a fair
rap. Even though it's a weak dispersal
class, Bucar will be a first round pick. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| P Bucar |
|
|
| E5 |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: |
|
|
| D Williams |
|
|
| I want to know who Bucar
angered…he's far better than Darnell Williams in most every way except for
tackle…and that can be worked on.
Lincoln does good here. |
|
|
| Albany gets: |
|
|
| P Dozer |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| D1 |
|
|
| The D1 wil be a good player,
but Pauly Dozer could make it a third OIFL MVP that the Gargoyles traded
away. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| E3 |
|
|
| Brinkhaven/League gets: |
|
|
| J Giamerva |
|
|
| M Burnstein |
|
|
| J Morrison |
|
|
| R Coop |
|
|
| R Sabo |
|
|
| M Danelo |
|
|
| Lincoln gets a great and good
E1 pick out of the former Bombers, but they gave up a lot of their depth they
worked all 2004 to get. Why? |
|
|
| Albany gets: |
|
|
| M Sauk |
|
|
| R Haris |
|
|
| G Rogers |
|
|
| Memphis gets: |
|
|
| A Anzune |
|
|
| E4 |
|
|
| D2 |
|
|
| $80K |
|
|
| So, Memphis trades a couple of
all-stars it traded GARY BODDY for, and another solid lineman in Rogers, and
gets chump change, two junk picks |
|
|
| and a guy who may not be as
good as Rogers. I don't care if they
didn't want to resign with you, this was a dumb move! |
|
|
| Columbus gets: |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| Washington gets: |
|
|
| O Cringle |
|
|
| The Attack get their former
kicker back, while the relocated Oklahoma City franchise gets some
MUCH-NEEDED money for their move. |
|
|
| I kind-of thought a
half-million was a bit hot for Cringle's services, though. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: |
|
|
| J Wildman |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| D1 |
|
|
| E4 (2006) |
|
|
| Detroit gets a mid-range,
maybe a bit better, player with the D1 and they get some backup wannabe in a
year. Washington gets their QB
situation solved. |
|
|
| I know Wildman was gone no
matter what anyways, but I'd of thought Detroit could do better than this. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: |
|
|
| W Marck |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| E4 |
|
|
| $750K |
|
|
| I would have thought Detroit
would go after players/high picks for Marck.
They don't need money, and an E4 is worthless to the two-time champs. |
|
|
| Washington
gets: |
|
|
| R Lewis |
|
|
| E2 |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| A Smith |
|
|
| J Giamerva |
|
|
| $500K |
|
|
| Let's see…Lincoln wanted Lewis
out so Glenn Robinson could be alongside Lane. Washington wants some star power, for once. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets a half-million, a
great OLDL and a very capable WRDB in case Matt Mauller leaves. A great deal both ways. |
|
|
| Las Vegas (1)
gets: |
|
|
| J Cade |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| M Hodge |
|
|
| A classic case of a team
getting something for something they'd of lost anyways. Hodge is a capable OIF2 runner, and Cade
gives Las Vegas more WRDB depth. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| D1 |
|
|
| Brinkhaven/League gets: |
|
|
| B Reese |
|
|
| R Wright |
|
|
| for the D1, the dispersal
draft acquires a decent but flawed player in Wright and a good looking QB
that hasn't ever gotten much time in Reese. |
|
|
| Las Vegas (2)
gets: |
|
|
| J Formossa |
|
|
| R Nicholson |
|
|
| $20K |
|
|
| Carolina (2) gets: |
|
|
| J Kernan |
|
|
| F Borrello |
|
|
| So the 2's Vegas thinks an
experienced OIFL (!) quarterback like Faustino Borrello is worth a DS that
can't defend the pass and a lineman that can't blitz. |
|
|
| Hey, whatever. Borrello's the instant starter in
Carolina. Can't say the same about
Formossa or Nicholson. |
|
|
| Fort MacMurray
gets: |
|
|
| D McCallister |
|
|
| Mobile gets: |
|
|
| The Albany D1 |
|
|
| T Saxer |
|
|
| $20K |
|
|
| McCallister is a guy who
wasn't really ever given a fair shot at Mobile, and he's a guy who can
perform. The D1 will be a good player,
but what happens to the |
|
|
| Seamen offense if Moesly gets
hurt now? We already saw what happened
when they threw every down… |
|
|
| Fort MacMurray
gets: |
|
|
| T Gardner |
|
|
| J Lebovitz |
|
|
| latter D1 |
|
|
| Albany gets: |
|
|
| $95K |
|
|
| T Jones |
|
|
| Albany gets one of those
enigmas, a guy who isn't too flashy anywhere but always performs. The Fatters get a quarterback who has never
produced anywhere, |
|
|
| Lebovitz, who isn't much of
anything, and what will be a decent player with the D1. Not sure where they benefit by getting rid
of Tyrone Jones, though. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| Player to be named later |
|
|
| Albany gets: |
|
|
| D1 |
|
|
| D2 |
|
|
| Detroit deals its dispersal
draft for something, but who knows what?
With a number of players possibly wanting out of Detroit, they may
have been more |
|
|
| intelligent to hold onto those
picks. |
|
|
| Memphis gets: |
|
|
| E3 |
|
|
| Fort MacMurray gets: |
|
|
| $336K |
|
|
| Not a bad amount of cash for
the Fatmen for a mid-round pick. |
|
|
| Memphis gets: |
|
|
| $5 million |
|
|
| M Sauk |
|
|
| R Haris |
|
|
| Fort MacMurray gets: |
|
|
| G Boddy |
|
|
| People probably think
"great, they got Boddy back, but they lost a star QB and their only true
WRDB threat." Then, you may want
to realize a couple of things. |
|
|
| Cory Cross, Timmy North,
Geoff, Jon Hay….that's the offense in 2001 when Boddy single-handedly took
this team to OIFLCup I. |
|
|
| Boddy is worth any price,
period. For a player that wasn't
coming back, though, Memphis did real good. |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: |
|
|
| J Stochmal |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| E4 |
|
|
| Detroit gets rid of Stochmal
basically for a pick they could package elsewhere to get more stuff. The Sharks get their starting OS to go with
WRs Thrash and Carr. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
gets: |
|
|
| D Gains |
|
|
| San Francisco gets: |
|
|
| E3 |
|
|
| E4 |
|
|
| Gains is a good young player
that really should probably be playing in San Francisco. The Sharks get two mid-round picks that are
late in each rounds. The E3 |
|
|
| should bring 'em something. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| M Phillips |
|
|
| E4 |
|
|
| Oklahoma City gets: |
|
|
| B LiPetri |
|
|
| M Stevenson |
|
|
| Detroit gets rid of an extra
kicker and a good lineman for a flashy quarterback that has never been
allowed to "do his thing."
Somehow I think Mike Uhl and |
|
|
| Eric Geno won't screw that up
this time. |
|
|
| 2004 Transactions |
|
|
| WEEK SEVENTEEN |
|
|
| Detroit signs: |
|
|
| D Burks |
|
|
| Burks replaces Thime, sort-of,
who is lost to a torn ACL. Burks will
be the practice squad kicker, in case Stevenson or Carothers go down. |
|
|
| Albany signs: |
|
|
| K Wherman |
|
|
| Get Wherman's rights in
Albany, a good leader albeit a poor thrower. |
|
|
| WEEK FOURTEEN |
|
|
| Portland
signs: |
|
|
| B Bees |
|
|
| Good move, but the Pioneers
would be better vested for their team to have signed Bees a few weeks ago,
rather than play Ere along like he had a chance. |
|
|
| Lincoln signs: |
|
|
| M Medley |
|
|
| Depth move, and not a bad one. |
|
|
| WEEK TEN |
|
|
| Memphis cuts: |
|
|
| J Angel |
|
|
| K Frisbee |
|
|
| J Thompson |
|
|
| Memphis signs: |
|
|
| T Zimmerman |
|
|
| Tony Zimmerman was starting in
this league even earlier this year, so this is a real good pickup for the
Crusaders. |
|
|
| WEEK NINE |
|
|
| Buffalo cuts: |
|
|
| S Right |
|
|
| C Koltas |
|
|
| Buffalo signs: |
|
|
| S Keys |
|
|
| D O'Neil |
|
|
| With only 2 weeks left in the
OIF2 season, I'd of just signed the new guys and kept them through the
season, then made a judgment |
|
|
| based on what everyone
wanted…having 6 linemen on the team wouldn't of been a *bad* thing. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| H Boden |
|
|
| Boden is a decent player, and
should be an upgrade over Austin to be James Gamble's backup in
Baltimore. That's a good thing, when
the |
|
|
| playoffs are right around the
corner. |
|
|
| ALL STAR BREAK |
|
|
| Eugene cuts: |
|
|
| J Brennan |
|
|
| Eugene signs: |
|
|
| M Bowden |
|
|
| Bowden has started before,
albeit on a bad team. But, still
possibly good for the OIF2. |
|
|
| Las Vegas (2)
signs: |
|
|
| D Wattenberg |
|
|
| Wattenburg can't hurt the 2-10
squad. |
|
|
| Albany cuts: |
|
|
| J Hastings |
|
|
| Albany signs: |
|
|
| L Tate |
|
|
| Tate could get Albany an extra
win in the playoffs. |
|
|
| WEEK EIGHT |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| 350K |
|
|
| Mobile gets: |
|
|
| W Hayes |
|
|
| A really dumb move for
Lincoln, as they overpay to get Hayes, and then ship his reasonable 25K/week
salary for some cash. |
|
|
| They already had enough cash. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: |
|
|
| A Mickles |
|
|
| Macomb gets: |
|
|
| D Joseph |
|
|
| J LaBrosse |
|
|
| LaBrosse adds so much he was
immediately released. Joseph is an
almost infinitely better defensive player, and is still decent on |
|
|
| offense. The OIFL crew gets the better of this deal. |
|
|
| Albany cuts: |
|
|
| B Poindexter |
|
|
| Albany signs: |
|
|
| T Tanphaichitr |
|
|
| Poindexter was average
everywhere and good at nothing.
Tanphaichitr is much better on offense, and could be a relief for |
|
|
| possibly overworked Robert
Westmoreland. |
|
|
| Buffalo cuts: |
|
|
| J Elwen |
|
|
| S Carr |
|
|
| A Davis |
|
|
| S Bachmann |
|
|
| M Braeball |
|
|
| Not much lost here, but
Buffalo is obviously saving a few bucks to try and build for a title run next
year. |
|
|
| New York cuts: |
|
|
| T Zimmerman |
|
|
| M Medley |
|
|
| K Goodwin |
|
|
| J Correll |
|
|
| L Tate |
|
|
| A Naseo |
|
|
| B Hassell |
|
|
| H Boden |
|
|
| F Bures |
|
|
| New York signs: |
|
|
| E Perry |
|
|
| J West |
|
|
| G Miggs |
|
|
| New York did what it needed to
do here, shaving off salary and adding two experienced pieces in West and
Miggs. |
|
|
| Lincoln signs: |
|
|
| K Sick |
|
|
| Sick could make up for Hayes'
absence, even though this is what, the third time Sick has played in Lincoln
now. He will play on the line |
|
|
| and be a backup pretty much
everywhere else. Ron Sabo could back
him up if needed. I still don't agree
with cutting Hayes. |
|
|
| Nashville
cuts: |
|
|
| P Bateman |
|
|
| C Biggs |
|
|
| Nashville doesn't lose too
much but bad salary, and does these moves in order to bring back healthy
WRDBs. |
|
|
| Albany cuts: |
|
|
| T Newpower |
|
|
| Albany signs: |
|
|
| T Gardner |
|
|
| Gardner had some awful games
in Shrewsbury in 2002, maybe the OIF2 will do the trick. He is a talent improvement over Newpower. |
|
|
| WEEK SEVEN |
|
|
| Fort MacMurray
cuts back to OIF2: |
|
|
| M Heller |
|
|
| Saves salary, which the Fatmen
are looking to do. Baltimore gets one
of it's original starters back. |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: |
|
|
| A Bassam |
|
|
| An unnecessary player since
Baltimore got Heller back. |
|
|
| Albany gets: |
|
|
| 50K |
|
|
| North Carolina gets: |
|
|
| Bobcat |
|
|
| Bobcat is good enough to be a
premier OIF2 lineman. Considering
Albany's past trades, he could have done better. |
|
|
| Albany signs: |
|
|
| J Lebovitz |
|
|
| Lebovitz is not as good as
Bobcat and costs more. To each their
own, I guess. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| M Danelo |
|
|
| New York gets: |
|
|
| N Duran |
|
|
| B Tropff |
|
|
| 15K |
|
|
| New York does the same thing
again, while Lincoln picks up a quite-solid multi-tasking RBLB…Danelo can
play OLDL if needed, too. |
|
|
| Albany gets: |
|
|
| 60K |
|
|
| J Chang |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| J Cade |
|
|
| Buffalo gets a piece to try
and help them back into the playoffs, while Albany gets a lower salary, a
decent player and cash. |
|
|
| Albany cuts: |
|
|
| N Vander Wlip |
|
|
| W Harwood |
|
|
| B Tobiason |
|
|
| G Miggs |
|
|
| Albany signs: |
|
|
| L Joseph |
|
|
| M DeFreeze |
|
|
| J Rogers |
|
|
| Albany may be intelligent to
bite the bullet on some of their more expensive players that aren't very
good, too…it's not that expensive |
|
|
| and will save them some
crucial money as the season wears down. |
|
|
| Las Vegas - 2
cuts: |
|
|
| J Tanner |
|
|
| A Fred |
|
|
| J Smith |
|
|
| Not huge losses, but a team in
that financial situation should be checking before they cut too much talent
away. It does cost money… |
|
|
| Las Vegas - 2
signs: |
|
|
| J Kernan |
|
|
| C Wetherbee |
|
|
| Wetherbee is just one of those
guys who "plays." He will do
fine in Vegas. |
|
|
| Lincoln signs: |
|
|
| B Tropff |
|
|
| Is he a star? No.
Will he add depth on the RBLB and OLDL corps? Most certainly. |
|
|
| Buffalo cuts: |
|
|
| T Marlino |
|
|
| He's a legit OIF2 running
back…so this move is confusing. |
|
|
| Eugene cuts: |
|
|
| E Bernstein |
|
|
| J West |
|
|
| K Davis |
|
|
| R Brownings |
|
|
| M Santo |
|

|
|
| R Dugger |
|
|
| G Pennington |
|
|
| R Farmer |
|
|
| L Joseph |
|
|
| T Houlihan |
|
|
| Eugene basically scraps their
entire roster, and tries to rebuild.
As bad as the team was, that's not an awful idea… |
|
|
| Eugene signs: |
|
|
| J Dion |
|
|
| P Corn |
|
|
| F Vanderbilt |
|
|
| J Brennan |
|
|
| D Hester |
|
|
| D Smith |
|
|
| M Wright |
|
|
| These are obviously cost
cutting moves. But with solid
ownership, the lesser talent may still look better in Oregon. |
|
|
| Las Vegas - 2
cuts: |
|
|
| D Joseph |
|
|
| J Likes |
|
|
| A Portland |
|
|
| J Lebovitz |
|
|
| D Willow |
|
|
| S Favers |
|
|
| J Beeler |
|
|
| M Sanders |
|
|
| There goes half of the
starters. More than half. Vegas is a crappy team, so why not? |
|
|
| Las Vegas - 2
signs: |
|
|
| A Hasting |
|
|
| R Watkins |
|
|
| R Schrader |
|
|
| A Gamble |
|
|
| M Remer |
|
|
| J Freese |
|
|
| J McMillan |
|
|
| B White |
|
|
| Las Vegas looks to stumble the
rest of the season with a new squad, then build for 2005. Not a bad idea. |
|
|
| North Carolina
signs: |
|
|
| J Formossa |
|
|
| J Jason |
|
|
| North Carolina cuts: |
|
|
| J Kline |
|
|
| Jason is better than Kline,
and Formossa is a good cheap DS. Not
too bad here. |
|
|
| San Antonio
gets: |
|
|
| J Thon |
|
|
| D Parris |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| D Sykes |
|
|
| 15K |
|
|
| The money helps Buffalo a bit,
and Sykes is a good all-around player.
Parris is a great OIF2 lineman, which means something for now. |
|
|
| Since San Antonio looks to be
making the jump for next year, it might not be that big a deal after all. |
|
|
| Nashville
gets: |
|
|
| R Cabreda |
|
|
| M Edminster |
|
|
| B Johnson |
|
|
| D Smith |
|
|
| P Bateman |
|
|
| E3 |
|
|
| D2 |
|
|
| 175K |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| W Hayes |
|
|
| M Burnstein |
|
|
| T McCarthy |
|
|
| B Fike |
|
|
| Well, Hayes is the best
lineman right now, so you'd think Lincoln gets the best of this. You'd think. But then, you must consider the |
|
|
| fact that Bateman was a
starter last year for a playoff team (Wichita). Destery Smith is an upgrade over
Burnstein. Cabreda is more |
|
|
| expensive, but certainly
capable. And Mike Edminster is a
rookie with extremely good upside.
Nashville did real good here, and they |
|
|
| got $175K. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: |
|
|
| R Brownings |
|
|
| Brownings was going to be
traded to San Antonio, so they get him for free. Well, except for that nagging $41K/week
salary. |
|
|
| Buffalo signs: |
|
|
| T Marlino |
|
|
| Kinda sucks for them, since
they already paid to get Marlino off the payroll. But, they get that money back in the trade
to get rid of him. |
|
|
| Fort MacMurray
gets: |
|
|
| M Heller |
|
|
| T Jones |
|
|
| T Pierce |
|
|
| J Marcius |
|
|
| J Weiss |
|

|
|
| A Anzune |
|
|
| J Colombo |
|
|
| H Maxwell |
|
|
| 715K |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| R Lewis |
|
|
| J Wensely |
|
|
| K Sick |
|
|
| Lincoln again way overpays for
a star talent. We don't know if
they'll ever learn. Albany gets the
best of this deal, getting three very |
|
|
| good players for their young
team, as well as nearly three-quarters of a million dollars. Fort Mac gets younger and still has a
number |
|
|
| of good players on the roster
for other teams to pick from. Marcius
could be a star in a couple of years. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| R Sabo |
|
|
| C Julian |
|
|
| Cleveland gets: |
|
|
| T Marlino |
|
|
| K Sick |
|
|
| 250K |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| R Detmer |
|
|
| B Thornton |
|
|
| 20K |
|
|
| Lincoln unloads Keith Sick,
and then pays Cleveland 150K more than it costs to cut Sick. What? |
|
|
| Buffalo gets a good QB in
Detmer, a probable OIF2 starter in Thornton.
Cleveland basically loses Sabo and Julian for a flyer at RB |
|
|
| and a quarter-million. Other than Buffalo, these moves are all
kind-of weird. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
gets: |
|
|
| C Scott |
|
|
| R3 |
|
|
| Fort MacMurray gets: |
|
|
| C Thompson |
|
|
| Thompson is one of the best
rookies from this year's draft. He
will probably get the starting nod right away. |
|
|
| Las Vegas only gets the OIFL's
most proficient pass intercepter…ever. |
|
|
| Cleveland
cuts: |
|
|
| K Sick |
|
|
| It costs them 100K, but that
means they made 150K and Tim Marlino for trading Sabo and Julian. Not sure if this ended up a good |
|
|
| deal or not. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: |
|
|
| C Martin |
|
|
| Macomb gets: |
|
|
| K Kraus |
|
|
| 28K |
|
|
| Kraus is a project, but he's a
lot cheaper than Cooper. Baltimore
gets a registered speedster who has always played well. |
|
|
| Nashville
gets: |
|
|
| C Henders |
|
|
| D Carpenter |
|
|
| Townsville gets: |
|
|
| A Folk |
|
|
| M Blackburn |
|
|
| Townsville gets more here, as
they save money and get rid of a crappy David Carpenter. Nashville didn't do bad, as Henders can |
|
|
| block, but they may have
wanted to get more for a decent rookie like Folk. |
|
|
| Nashville
gets: |
|
|
| M Ashe |
|
|
| C Biggs |
|
|
| A Philippo |
|
|
| L Berger |
|
|
| New York gets: |
|
|
| R Washington |
|
|
| D Schueler |
|
|
| 200K |
|
|
| New York gets a lot cheaper
(under 200K/week now) and gets 200 grand…Nashville may have overextended
itself here, though. |
|
|
| Lou Berger is a really good
DS, though. |
|
|
| Lincoln calls up: |
|
|
| S Lawrence |
|
|
| Lawrence was called up so
Albany had another protected player to take Anzune and Maxwell. Whatever. |
|
|
| WEEK SIX |
|
|
| North Carolina
signs: |
|
|
| M Randell |
|
|
| Mike Randell has OIFL starting
experience, even though his New York Nightmares in 2001 wouldn't have had a
prayer in the 2004 |
|
|
| OIF2…but he will be of help to
a Raleigh team that hasn't won in ages. |
|
|
| Albany signs: |
|
|
| Bobcat |
|
|
| After playing as the feature
back in Denver in 2002, Bobcat goes to the OIF2 to play on the line. |
|
|
| Buffalo signs: |
|
|
| Joe Thon |
|
|
| Another former Fatmen player
that, albeit not that superstar talented, did help his team nearly win
OIFLCup I. |
|
|
| North Carolina
signs: |
|
|
| M Bianchi |
|
|
| North Carolina cuts: |
|
|
| M Quimby |
|
|
| An obvious upgrade, if Bianchi
can learn how to run and carry the ball. |
|
|
| Lincoln cuts: |
|
|
| T Hickerson |
|
|
| Hickerson wasn't going to do
anything in Nebraska anyways, so pay his way out, and start over. |
|
|
| Buffalo cuts: |
|
|
| J Stone |
|
|
| S Keys |
|
|
| J Brooks |
|
|
| No real losses here…there's
probably better overall players on the free agent pile. |
|
|
| Buffalo gets: |
|
|
| T Marlino |
|
|
| 20K |
|
|
| North Carolina gets: |
|
|
| B Dockery |
|
|
| Two 3-7 teams figure the run
game may be the problem…I didn't really think it was, but new owners, new
philosophies. With that |
|
|
| said, these two new guys in
the OIF2 have been busy busy busy. |
|
|
| North Carolina
signs: |
|
|
| J Murphy |
|
|
| James Murphy, a WRDB by trade,
will likely be the Flames starting RBLB in Week 11. |
|
|
| Buffalo cuts: |
|
|
| C Wetherbee |
|
|
| Buffalo signs: |
|
|
| F Matua |
|
|
| Matua is a better talent, but
Wetherbee is one of those guys who just plays. Possibly a bad move here. |
|
|
| Albany gets: |
|
|
| J Cade |
|
|
| Macomb gets: |
|
|
| J George |
|
|
| 91K |
|
|
| Macomb gets a cheaper guy who
isn't too bad, and some cash. Not bad. |
|
|
| WEEK FIVE |
|
|
| Washington
gets: |
|
|
| V Garrenton |
|
|
| Townsville gets: |
|
|
| R3 |
|
|
| 200K |
|
|
| Townsville gets two things
that they desperately need…a lower salary, and money. Washington gets another quality starter. |
|
|
| Wichita gets: |
|
|
| F Freshley |
|
|
| R5 |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| P Bateman |
|
|
| Pat Bateman started last year
in Wichita, so Lincoln gets an experienced backup. |
|
|
| Townsville
gets: |
|
|
| C Davis |
|
|
| F Kern |
|
|
| 20K |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| G Jackson |
|
|
| B Johnson |
|
|
| A Stiles |
|
|
| Little Al makes his trillionth
move, it seems. He hasn't ever gotten
the magic back since he led the league in YPC in 2001 in Detroit. |
|
|
| Fan-favorite Kern leaves, and
he will be missed. Townsville gets a
lower salary again, and brings in a few bucks, what they're |
|
|
| wanting to do. |
|
|
| New York
signs: |
|
|
| J Harnwell |
|
|
| Harnwell is experienced,
helping Townsville nearly make the playoffs in 2001. And, he's $2,000 per week. |
|
|
| New York gets: |
|
|
| 800K |
|
|
| Washington gets: |
|
|
| J Leod |
|
|
| A strange deal, as Washington
gave up quite a bit of money here, but they figure Leod will be a superstar
OS for them. |
|
|
| And he might. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: |
|
|
| L Dibbles |
|
|
| Larry Dibbles has had some
success in places, but usually with bad teams. San Antonio is not a bad team…still
undefeated. |
|
|
| Albany signs: |
|
|
| J Marcius |
|
|
| Great replacement for the
called-up Darnell Williams. Could
solve Albany's running problems. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| K Street |
|
|
| Las Vegas gets: |
|
|
| 200K |
|
|
| E1 |
|
|
| D1 |
|
|
| J Duffy |
|
|
| G Brown |
|
|
| A lot of stuff gets
transferred to Las Vegas, who was worried about having to make financial
moves for the 2005 season anyways. |
|
|
| But, um…yeah. Jackson to Street reunited? Defensive coordinators everywhere are
burning crosses and what not in Sting owner |
|
|
| Dennis Marr's front yard. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
cuts: |
|
|
| D McKnight |
|
|
| No big loss here…especially
with other players coming on board such as Duffy and Brown. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| H Williams |
|
|
| Harold Williams will be a
solid player if he can ever learn how to even somewhat defend a pass. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| L Bauer |
|
|
| Bauer comes in to replace the
departed Harold Williams. |
|
|
| Lincoln calls
up from OIF2: |
|
|
| D Williams (Albany) |
|
|
| M Heller (Baltimore) |
|
|
| N Duran (New Jersey) |
|
|
| B Caudill (San Antonio) |
|
|
| J Weiss (Kansas) |
|
|
| Lincoln has been criticized a
lot for lacking in depth. These five
players will help dispel those thoughts. |
|
|
| Now, the OIF2 teams have to
sit back and regroup. |
|
|
| San Antonio
signs: |
|
|
| D Morris |
|
|
| Nothing big here. Nothing big at all. |
|
|
| Memphis cuts: |
|
|
| J Shuff |
|
|
| J Larte |
|
|
| There's nothing lost here. |
|
|
| New York
signs: |
|
|
| J Connor |
|
|
| Joe Connor almost won a ring
in Fort MacMurray. He's able to run
and catch fairly well. Most
importantly for the Lions, he costs |
|
|
| $1500/week. |
|
|
| New York gets: |
|
|
| B Arledge |
|
|
| 350K |
|
|
| Nashville gets: |
|
|
| C Fleming |
|
|
| T LiPetri |
|
|
| Getting LiPetri was a dumb
move here…but Fleming's flash could make up for it. New York gets money and a bunch of payroll |
|
|
| sent off. So, they did what they wanted with it, too. |
|
|
| New England
gets: |
|
|
| D Brown |
|
|
| A Linton |
|
|
| Macomb gets: |
|
|
| T Farrington |
|
|
| J Kix |
|
|
| 4th round pick |
|
|
| Macomb gets a little younger
and gets a pick. New England gets a
decent lineman and a backup WRDB. |
|
|
| 3-team trade |
|
|
| Las Vegas gets: |
|
|
| M Inabinett |
|
|
| Brinkhaven gets: |
|
|
| M Bell |
|
|
| Townsville gets: |
|
|
| A Thompson |
|
|
| A Walkin |
|
|
| Townsville gets cheaper some
more, while Vegas gets a great DS and the Bombers bring back one of the
original players in Bell. |
|
|
| WEEK FOUR |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: |
|
|
| A McDougal |
|
|
| Townsville gets: |
|
|
| 3rd round pick |
|
|
| San Francisco gets some
much-needed O-Line help, while Townsville gets rid of some salary and gets a
pick in return. |
|
|
| Albany gets: |
|
|
| future considerations |
|
|
| New Jersey gets: |
|
|
| 10K |
|
|
| New Jersey gets a few bucks
while Albany will get NJ's first and second round picks, if they make the
OIFL. Not bad. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| R Cabreda |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| P Woods |
|
|
| Lincoln gets a bit of a salary
reprieve, and more importantly, they get Portland to bow out of discussions
on the Jonathan |
|
|
| Pritchett deal. Portland upgrades for a bit of a cost, but
they will have the money to handle it. |
|
|
| HUGE
TRADE: Five teams, all of them will be
chronicled individually, as to what they received: |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| J Pritchett |
|
|
| T Hickerson |
|
|
| T Jones |
|
|
| M Edminster |
|
|
| M Mauller |
|
|
| Cleveland's D3 |
|
|
| Townsville's E1 |
|
|
| A LaPetri |
|
|
| Lincoln sends: |
|
|
| F Delighten |
|
|
| J Halada |
|
|
| J Price |
|
|
| B Jones |
|
|
| J Whitfield |
|
|
| T Evans |
|
|
| B Johnson |
|
|
| B Down |
|
|
| 58,250 in cash |
|
|
| Cleveland's D1 |
|
|
| Teams revamped a lot of their
roster with this move, and Lincoln was one of the big ones. Pritchett is an instant starter and |
|
|
| will be a great lineman in
this league. Lincoln took a couple of
bad salaries (Mauller, LaPetri), but still got a very good deal. |
|
|
| Brinkhaven
gets: |
|
|
| F Delighten |
|
|
| C Krypell |
|
|
| S Heffner |
|
|
| Brinkhaven sends: |
|
|
| J Lindsay |
|
|
| L Josefowicz |
|
|
| H Gordon |
|
|
| 2nd round pick |
|
|
| Brinkhaven was the "least
active" in this 5-way brawl.
However, they still upgraded their line a bunch with Delighten, |
|
|
| got a very good rookie WRDB in
Krypell and shed a few worthless salaries.
Surprising to see the Bombers add salary. |
|
|
| Macomb gets: |
|
|
| J Lindsay |
|
|
| J Halada |
|
|
| J Price |
|
|
| J Whitfield |
|
|
| L Josefowicz |
|
|
| R Churan |
|
|
| D Schlosser |
|
|
| A Jackson |
|
|
| D Truscott |
|
|
| J Parker |
|
|
| Macomb sends: |
|
|
| J Pritchett |
|
|
| T Jones |
|
|
| S Heffner |
|
|
| T Hickerson |
|
|
| J Cade |
|
|
| D Carpenter |
|
|
| S Summers |
|
|
| T Duckett |
|
|
| G Jackson |
|
|
| L James |
|
|
| Macomb gets younger and
cheaper, which was their goal. They
aren't done yet, although they did a bang-up job so far. |
|
|
| Townsville
gets: |
|
|
| A Stiles |
|
|
| B Down |
|
|
| T Evans |
|
|
| C Henders |
|
|
| H Gordon |
|
|
| B Johnson |
|
|
| L Zahand |
|
|
| D Carpenter |
|
|
| G Jackson |
|
|
| Cleveland's D1 |
|
|
| Brinkhaven's E2 |
|
|
| Townsville sends: |
|
|
| C Perrone |
|
|
| C Krypell |
|
|
| J Hero |
|
|
| R Fergo |
|
|
| N Lang |
|
|
| M Edminster |
|
|
| 1st round pick |
|
|
| A LaPetri |
|
|
| Townsville loses the face of
their franchise (LaPetri), and plenty of all-star talent (Fergo, Lang, Hero),
but they save money. |
|
|
| With the league running the
team, that was the goal, and they do have a lot of pieces for a potential new
owner to work with. |
|
|
| Cleveland
gets: |
|
|
| R Fergo |
|
|
| N Lang |
|
|
| C Perrone |
|
|
| J Hero |
|
|
| B Jones |
|
|
| S Summers |
|
|
| T Duckett |
|
|
| L James |
|
|
| J Cade |
|
|
| Cleveland sends: |
|
|
| R Churan |
|
|
| A Stiles |
|
|
| D Schlosser |
|
|
| C Henders |
|
|
| M Mauller |
|
|
| L Zahand |
|
|
| A Jackson |
|
|
| D Truscott |
|
|
| J Parker |
|
|
| 3rd round dispersal pick |
|
|
| Cleveland loses a number of
faces of this team that were there since the franchise's beginning. Cleveland adds over $100K in |
|
|
| salary. Sounds like some bummers, right? Cleveland adds an all-star OS, two all-star
WRDBs, and a legitamate playoff shot. |
|
|
| Who got the best of this deal,
folks? |
|
|
| Portland calls
up: |
|
|
| WRDB B Greenwald (BAL) |
|
|
| WRDB T Gant (RAL) |
|
|
| Cheap backups, nothing more. |
|
|
| Portland
signs: |
|
|
| O Williams |
|
|
| Another cheap backup. |
|
|
| Washington
signs: |
|
|
| N Harris |
|
|
| Harris led the Attack to their
first playoff berth in 2002, and then was hurt as they started Pierre
Alexander and almost beat |
|
|
| Fort MacMurray anyways. Harris was a fan favorite, so this move
should be well-received, especially since Alexander hasn't |
|
|
| been stellar yet. |
|
|
| Detroit gets: |
|
|
| P Dozer |
|
|
| Townsville gets: |
|
|
| C Perrone |
|
|
| M Garbinsky |
|
|
| H McCoy |
|
|
| Townsville gets a couple of
good young receivers that will certainly help them once the team trades
awaythe big name expensive |
|
|
| receivers they have. McCoy is a work in progress, but could be a
quality RBLB in due time. And, he can
defend the pass. |
|
|
| Detroit gets another reason to
trade away Kevin Mintz, as Dozer led the OIFL in touchdowns in 2001 and 2002. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| R Coop |
|
|
| 1st round dispersal |
|
|
| Cleveland gets: |
|
|
| D Narcise |
|
|
| Narcise goes to what must be
his 40th team. He is the best hands
Cleveland has ever seen, but is not a fast receiver. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets a great backup
receiver, and a guy who could possibly supplant Duffy at one of the starter
spots. |
|
|
| And, they save money… |
|
|
| WEEK THREE |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: |
|
|
| S Johnson |
|
|
| Scott Johnson could be what
the offense ordered, especially with better receivers. |
|
|
| San Francisco
cuts: |
|
|
| J Marcius |
|
|
| Kind-of expensive, may have
been better to just sit him in the practice squad. |
|
|
| Kansas signs: |
|
|
| D McCallister |
|
|
| D Cheswick |
|
|
| R Dundee |
|
|
| R Dempsey |
|
|
| J Seils |
|
|
| J Weiss |
|
|
| W Drown |
|
|
| T Greenly |
|
|
| Even though the team has been
competitive in a weak west in the OIF2, new management determined that was
not enough. |
|
|
| These signings could make them
a very dangerous team as the season winds down. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: |
|
|
| L Stocker |
|
|
| Las Vegas (2) gets: |
|
|
| A Portland |
|
|
| A Fred |
|
|
| Vegas gets a small infusion of
talent, while I wonder what Baltimore was trying to do with this move. |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| R Smart |
|
|
| Seattle gets: |
|
|
| B Pendergrass |
|
|
| W Fox |
|
|
| L Jones |
|
|
| A Aman |
|
|
| You always like to see trades
in which both teams are helped.
Seattle gets a couple of very good players in Pendergrass and |
|
|
| Aman, and upgrades the overall
talent level of the team at a reasonable price. Portland sheds some more salary and gets |
|
|
| a very good backup in Smart. |
|
|
| San Francisco
gets: |
|
|
| B Thrash |
|
|
| D Carr |
|
|
| Portland gets: |
|
|
| E1, E4 |
|
|
| 25K |
|
|
| A weird move for San
Francisco, who was thought to have been working for the future. The future is now? They add about |
|
|
| $50,000 a week to their
salary, and give draft picks and money to Portland to get it done. A weird move, indeed. |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| S Womack |
|
|
| Albany gets: |
|
|
| Y Bamiyi |
|
|
| May as well get something for
a player that was going to be taken from an OIFL team anyways. Lincoln tries to upgrade a |
|
|
| poor kicking position. |
|
|
| Portland
signs: |
|
|
| M Preece |
|
|
| K Pung |
|
|
| No huge gains here, but
they're a lot cheaper backups than Carr and Thrash were… |
|
|
| WEEK TWO |
|
|
| Lincoln gets: |
|
|
| J Duffy |
|
|
| T Evans |
|
|
| Nashville gets: |
|
|
| R DeNiro |
|
|
| S Parent |
|
|
| J Westbrook |
|
|
| Duffy is a potential
malcontent at any time, so that isn't a huge loss. Evans' loss could be questioned, but
Nashville really |
|
|
| didn't make as bad a move as
first guessed here. Parent and
Westbrook are fair defensive players, and Westbrook is almost |
|
|
| as good an all-around player
as Duffy. DeNiro is wasted money, as
Nashville cut him and ate the $36,000 charge. |
|
|
| San Francisco
signs: |
|
|
| D Gains |
|
|
| B Little |
|
|
| San Francisco cuts: |
|
|
| K Johnson |
|
|
| G Jaro |
|
|
| San Francisco upgrades, talent
wise, but they are cutting players, which puts them responsible for 20% of
the 15 weeks' salary |
|
|
| remaining. A team in those financial situations will
be hurt a lot in the short term, but it may be better in the future. |
|
|
| Georgia signs: |
|
|
| S Riget |
|
|
| Georgia cuts: |
|
|
| D McCallister |
|
|
| Riget is a very good OS, and
should fight well for playing time in Georgia. McCallister is a small loss. |
|
|
| Dodge City
gets: |
|
|
| R Greene |
|
|
| Nashville gets: |
|
|
| J Hartlin |
|
|
| L Bernstein |
|
|
| I want to commend Nashville
for getting some decent players for their system in return, but Greene was
the best talent on that |
|
|
| roster, period. What were they thinking? |
|
|
| WEEK ONE |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| J Poux |
|
|
| Baltimore cuts: |
|
|
| A Gamble |
|
|
| A couple of moves to improve
the overall talent level on a good OIF2 team. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
gets: |
|
|
| D2, E2 |
|
|
| Nashville gets: |
|
|
| T Jacobs |
|
|
| R Moore |
|
|
| P Corn |
|
|
| Las Vegas is trying to make
moves in case a financial crunch (salary cap) hits for next season, and this
is just another example |
|
|
| of that. Nashville gets two players that will get
substantial playing time, and they take a third off of Vegas' hands (Corn). |
|
|
| Todd's moves have been more
impressive as of late. |
|
|
| Georgia signs: |
|
|
| M Nuremberg |
|
|
| T Reilly |
|
|
| R McKnight |
|
|
| Reilly has a ring with
Rochester in 2001, and a very good year there. Nuremberg could be an all-star in a few
years. Good |
|
|
| pickups by Georgia. |
|
|
| Brinkhaven
cuts: |
|
|
| D Mackwellston |
|
|
| J Brennan |
|
|
| J Stanovic |
|
|
| G Cato |
|
|
| J Glass |
|
|
| No big losses here. |
|
|
| Nashville
cuts: |
|
|
| W Stokes |
|
|
| C Temple |
|
|
| B Hicks |
|
|
| M Dunes |
|
|
| M Wright |
|
|
| D Cheswick |
|
|
| A Chatterjee |
|
|
| J Moore |
|
|
| M Barnes |
|
|
| P Corn |
|
|
| D Miller |
|
|
| Nashville signs: |
|
|
| B Wright |
|
|
| W Hayes |
|
|
| A Folk |
|
|
| M Blackburn |
|
|
| T McCarthy |
|
|
| Nashville has turned
themselves from a joke into a competent team with these moves and the Vegas
trades. |
|

| Dodge City
cuts |
|
|
| S Johnson |
|
|
| Scott Johnson will have a fine
career somewhere…if teams don't keep cutting him and/or dying. |
|
|
| Wichita gets: |
|
|
| A Anderson |
|
|
| K Brimmer |
|
|
| E5 |
|
|
| Memphis gets: |
|
|
| P Gill |
|
|
| E2 |

|
|
| 47K |
|
|
| Wichita goes from a
one-dimensional team with an OIFL MVP (Grayson Norman) to one of the OIFL's
most potent offenses. |
|
|
| At least they're out west,
right? Memphis saves big bucks and
gets some picks for next year. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| S Austin |
|
|
| Add some talent at a
reasonable price, why not? |

|
|
| Oklahoma City signs: |
|
|
| R McNeil |
|
|
| C Castro |
|
|
| JP Worley was worried about
this team having way too many long contracts, and they had to make moves to
improve. |
|
|
| Not sure these really did
anything for the team, but it cuts some salary that won't ever be used. |
|
|
| San Francisco
cuts: |
|
|
| K Shepherd |
|
|

|
| A Schmetzer |
|
|
| J Davis |
|
|
| M MacDonald |
|
|
| G Jaro |
|
|
| T Williams |
|
|
| Although they aren't a title
contender in any stretch of the imagination, San Francisco has become
competent with these moves. |
|
|
| Portland cuts: |
|
|
| T Fitzgerald |
|
|
| J Seils |
|
|
| H Williams |
|
|
| Fitzgerald's talent is of good
quality, but his salary is very high.
The other two aren't going to do much for anyone anytime soon. |
|
|
| Portland
signs: |
|
|
| E Ere |
|
|
| A downfall from Fitzgerald,
but Ere has experience and a low salary. |
|
|
| Las Vegas
cuts: |
|
|
| J Freese |
|
|
| D Gains |
|
|
| E Perry |
|
|
| D Smith |
|
|
| D O'Neil |
|
|
| E Lowe |
|
|
| Las Vegas' owner didn't want
to cut anyone, but he made a few moves before the season, so that he got
something out of his |
|
|
| cut list. Most of these guys will find work
somewhere. |
|
|
| Wichita gets: |
|
|
| T Cain |
|
|
| C Peskin |
|
|
| San Antonio gets: |
|
|
| B Caudill |
|
|
| J Cunningham |
|
|
| No one is really helped or
harmed overall in this deal. San
Antonio should be trying to save salary, though. |
|
|
| Lincoln cuts: |

|
|
| M Hernfield |
|
|
| R Miday |
|
|
| D Green |
|
|
| T Cooper |
|
|
| D Myers |
|
|
| A lot of rookies are being
cut…was it a bad class? Or, are teams
just going with what they know, rather than the unknown? |
|
|
| Lincoln doesn't lose much in
these cuts. |
|

|
|

|
|
| J McMillan |
|

|
|
| J Tannehill |
|
|
| B Ackerman |
|
|
| The team is in ownership
troubles, but these cuts don't hurt anyone. |
|
|
| Detroit cuts: |
|
|
| J Jason |
|
|
| K Wherman |
|
|
| A Bertelli |
|
|
| J Weiss |
|
|
| Bertelli was always high on
Uhl's list of players, but he never got a chance to show anything. All in all, the championship team |
|
|
| didn't lose anything here. |
|
|
| Wichita cuts: |
|
|
| B Filisky |
|
|
| Oh well. |
|
|
| Townsville
signs: |
|
|
| D Myers |
|
|
| They needed help in a big
way. Myers can't hurt any. |
|
|
| Fort MacMurray
cuts: |
|
|
| K Pung |
|
|
| B Little |
|
|
| M Watkins |
|
|
| R Dempsey |
|
|
| No losses here…just the one in
San Francisco. |
|
|
| PRESEASON |
|
|
| Las Vegas
(OIFL) signs: |
|
|
| WRDB John Lamone |
|
|
| Lamone is a very good player,
one that will be missed as a salary cut.
Las Vegas had him last year, had to cut him for |
|
|
| salary reasons, and found a
way to bring him back. Good move. |
|
|
| Nashville
signs: |
|
|
| WRDB Vincent Young |
|
|
| Young will play as a DS for
Nashville, and will immediately start.
Buffalo's loss is Nashville's gain. |
|
|
| Memphis signs: |
|
|
| WRDB Pat Ranke |
|
|
| QB Kenny Frisbee |
|
|
| Frisbee will probably be cut
next week, but Ranke will be right at home in Alex Anderson's trick-oriented
offense. Ranke |
|
|
| is a WRDB that has 8-8 passing
skills, and will excel in the Memphis schemes. |
|
|
| Albany signs: |
|
|
| Brant Tobiason |
|
|
| Tobiason is a solid player
that will do fine in Albany. They need
all of the help they can get, with their recent play. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: |
|
|
| DS Andrew Ehmke |
|
|
| OS Shannon Riget |
|
|
| QB Rich Dundee |
|
|
| DS Garmen Jaro |
|
|
| Salary cuts, nothing
else. Dundee has never played well but
has talent, while Riget was probably the best OS on that roster. |
|
|
| Ehmke nor Jaro hurt anyone
with their passing. |
|
|
| Baltimore
signs: |
|
|
| DS Richard Mavis |
|
|
| Baltimore cuts: |
|
|
| WRDB Shawn Williams |
|
|
| Nothing lost, nothing
gained. Just a couple of backup-player
moves. |
|
|
| Georgia cuts: |
|
|
| OLDL Woody Hayes |
|
|
| WRDB Pat Ranke |
|
|
| RBLB Jermain Davis |
|
|
| WRDB Eric Winston |
|
|
| RBLB David Wiedne |
|
|
| QB Kenny Frisbee |
|
|
| QB Donald Duer |
|
|
| OS Scott Shearer |
|
|
| WRDB John Lamone |
|
|
| WRDB Jamaal Poux |
|
|
| Two types of moves here, the
"salary dump" and the "cut useless players." Pat Ranke
and Woody Hayes are solid players, |
|
|
| but way too expensive for a
team that had to take out a loan. The
loss of players like Lamone and Poux, however, are |
|
|
| questionable. Neither are superstars, but have always
produced solid numbers in the past. |
|
|
| Albany signs: |
|
|
| WRDB Jimmy George |
|
|
| WRLB Bryant Poindexter |
|
|
| George adds some very good
defense to Albany, while Poindexter is just there to take up space. It's a good question to |
|
|
| see who the Firebirds will
take out to get back to 24 men. |
|
|
| New England
cuts: |
|
|
| QB Brian Skinner |
|
|
| OS Scot McMillen |
|
|
| WRDB Steven Gordon |
|
|
| Nashville
cuts: |
|
|
| OLDL Alex Folk |
|
|
| OLDL M.I. Nuremburg |
|
|
| Todd Patton's moves as
Nashville owner have always been questioned.
This is no different. Although
Folk nor |
|
|
| Nuremburg are all-stars, a
team as depleted as Nashville needs every talented player of any sort that it
can get. |
|
|
| Now, two of them are gone. |
|
|
| Nashville
signs: |
|
|
| K Josh Fox |
|
|
| OLDL Jason Roach |
|
|
| OLDL Brian Fike |
|
|
| WRDB Robert Washington |
|
|
| I don't want to ask. Fox is a better talent than Damon Black,
but Black has a ring. Robert
Washington is a poor |
|
|
| receiver, and there are others
much better. Roach and Fike are far
worse overall linemen than the guys they replace. |
|
|
| Nashville is having a poor
first preseason. |
|
|
| Albany cuts: |
|
|
| K John Weisenell |
|
|
| K Max Webber |
|
|
| DS Jon Formossa |
|
|
| OS Matt DeFreeze |
|
|
| WRDB Alexandris Nocolozakes |
|
|
| RBLB Edde Murray |
|
|
| QB Fred Vanderbilt |
|
|
| RBLB Mops Martin |
|
|
| No huge losses, even for an
OIF2 team. Vanderbilt's leadership off
the bench could be missed, but |
|
|
| for a 1-3 team, they may of
needed to drop a few more guys and tried to go after some of the better |
|
|
| free agency players. |
|
|
| Baltimore
cuts: |
|
|
| WRDB Rich Baggeson |
|
|
| QB Goran Basic |
|
|
| OS Alex Hasting |
|
|
| WRDB Eddie Murphy |
|
|
| Again, more OIF2 cuts. Granted, these players could sit on the
bench of San Francsico or Nashville, |
|
|
| but there is no huge loss for
Baltimore. |
|
|
| Baltimore
gets: |
|
|
| WRDB Kody Kraus |
|
|
| OS Craig Longworth |
|
|
| San Francisco gets: |
|
|
| OLDL Jimmy D |
|
|
| Great move for Baltimore, as
they pick up a slow, but sure-handed OS in Longworth, who could start
immediately. |
|
|
| Thunder Sharks fans must be
wondering what team management's ideas are, because the Sharks are making |
|
|
| some awful moves. |
|
|
| Buffalo cuts: |
|
|
| RBLB Dewitt Wattenberg |
|
|
| WRDB Vincent Young |
|
|
| OS Brian Longworth |
|
|
| A poor defensive team lost a
player that was nearly all-OIFL in 2002 with the OIFLCup Champion Miami
Maulers. |
|
|
| Young won't stay on the free
agency list long. |
|
|
| San Antonio
cuts: |
|
|
| KDS Victor Gamble |
|
|
| OLDL Lyle Bauer |
|
|
| Bauer will be picked up, as he
can start for more than a couple teams in either league. Gamble will probably never |
|
|
| be on a roster in either
league again. |
|
|
| New Jersey
cuts: |
|
|
| QB Clifford Hayes |
|
|
| WRDB Gordon Young |
|
|
| OLDL Danny Addis |
|
|
| OS Alex Dice |
|
|
| No big losses here. The old New Jersey team (San Francisco)
could use some of these players, which is sad |
|
|
| considering these guys' talent
level. |
