Yeah, Ive gotten about 75 PMs with offers from players. Its a bit overwhelming but I expected it and enjoy the challenge.
I understood owning was a tough task and thats why I coached (and still do) on a highly competitive team, to get the experience and learned the ropes.
I'm taking it slow. I have realized that we are going to revert far away from where we were two days ago, and its going to be a big uphill battle with a bunch of low level guys, but my main thing is not to just run out and sign a bunch of people.
I would rather sign some humans and fill out with CPU to begin with and make the right choices instead of filling my roster with a bunch of players that go inactive after our first game because we get beat (to be kind

)
I wish I was in a better financial position to be able to sign back all the old players but it is impossible at their levels.
I hope justice serves the old owner. It was very unfair what he did to those players.
So thanks all for the welcome! I am glad to be here. And I am active in the forums so once i get my team on its feet, I will be in here on a regular basis.

Edit: Gotta love the PM's from new guys at level 1 that read something like these:
"Hey yo, i gotta good level 1 RB prospect who is ready to go, if you guarantee I start I will sign with your team"
"you need a gm? I know you got some problems and i can bring in my level 1 LB and help you out, i know a lot about being a DC and want to gm if you let me help run your team and start my guy"....(then you look at his profile and he isnt a coach and has one player)
Good times! Good times!
