All I'm looking for now is a guard, FB, and WR. Anybody know of any level 10 WR that might be looking for a job. I'm also looking for a blocking FB. I don't care what level just as long as strength and blocking is 25 and up.

What Level CB's you looking for? I've been thinking of getting a new player started. Might go with a CB
Sadly, we can't really use a new player. Our top guys were the only real impact players to leave us this season: both of them. Need a starting caliber shutdown guy. Basically level 14+, maybe 13 if they boost/good build. Trying to even think of finding two guys to replace last season's starters gives me a headache, so trying for one top cover guy instead.
Thank you though. Believe me, tis appreciated.
I'll see if I come across any decent safeties for you. I'd offer mine, but either of them would need to be traded for: 1 level 12 FS, 1 level 4 SS - both w/ custom, boost 3x a season if you can interest the teams.

Hmm, there's a lot of FBs on the boards most days. If I see any that look like blockers, I'll try and give you a reference.
WR - don't know any right now, but will keep an eye out for you. Haven't been near the WR board this off-season, so not sure what the situation is like.
If you think you might have grabbed someone's interest though, I'll be happy to give you a thumbs up in the thread or attest to your character for you.

If my HB was free, I'd boost him and offer him to you, since I'm working on a blocking one.

Shit! I just cannot get a decent wide reciever to accept a contract. I've been tirelessly working on trying to find one and I just haven't been rewarded for my hard work at all. I've probably offered every level 10+ reciever in free agency and on the trading block. I just don't know what the problem is. I don't think our team looks bad or anything, and I'm not shafting them on their contracts at all.

Have you seen some of the contracts some of the new owners are offering? Its always hard to compete when there's an influx of new people. I'm not sure how some of them are going to sustain a team.
WR is a demand position this season too.

That depends. Upping it might get you more players. Personally I don't usually think its worth it though. It hurts your team's ability to contend and be financially stable long term, and the type of players who are signing for more than they could spend without training on intense every night might not have team loyalty and long term commitment in mind.
I haven't caved yet. We could probably afford one of the stupidly high trade offers, but I don't think you get people who are likely to stick around that way, too easy to get screwed over, and once they do leave for bigger dollars, you're right back where you were.
Which, admittedly, is a philosophy that might lose us some games this season, but then by sticking with it, I have a team of active, dedicated people who genuinely want to be part of the team too.

$100K with $50K bonus is all you need. All players want is enough to buy their LvL 16 equipment and to be able to train comfortably as they LvL up through the season. Once players are around long enough that they are in the 13-16 range they know this, so I doubt it would even make a difference even if you offered $500K a year with a $300K bonus, with the exception of maybe one or two jackasses who have no clue about the game and probably have terrible builds anyway.

I've signed a lot of players lately but it's just that for some reason WR are turned off to our team. Right now I've sent every free agent wide reciever between level 10 and 17 a contract offer. If I don't hear anything back now I give up.

Lot of season to go. Win a few games and keep at it, and hopefully your luck will change. I'm totally agreed that you shouldn't go upping offers much though. Not necessary, and not really fair to the guys who signed for a reasonable amount and are sticking with the team.

Well now that those season 1 day 3 guys have become free agents I've sent over 35 offers to wide recievers. Can't do any thing now but wait and hope...

Congratulations.
Nice job recruiting.
Sadly, I'm still in the same hunt I started when the last playoff game ended.

Can I say what I want, or would I be an ass for saying screw you to him?
I am having trouble getting anyone on my team.......20L in a row don't help much.
