Man, I'm glad I finally got the contract offers from the Meatballs.

FREE AGENCY BLOWS!

Having your inbox and your alerts flooded in a span of an hour blows hard. And looking through the messages, it's ridiculous how pathetic some of these sales pitches are. I'm actually offended by some of the messages I got that were trying to get me to join their team.

"We'd love to have Sebastian Jackson on our team creating separation and blowing by defenders..."

REALLY? What makes you think that Sebastian Jackson is the type of receiver that can do that? Do these teams do any research at ALL? Or do they just look at his level and ASSUME that he's faster and a better fake artist than the competition?

"I'd love to have your WR creating separation, finding seams in the defense, and streaming down the sidelines for the <team name removed>"

I guess they weren't the only ones who feel like he's so much more than he really is.

"We'd definitely want to run Jackson up the seam..."

I wasn't aware teams had the ability to send specific receivers on specific routes. But if you could, please send him on the same route every time.

"We will offer you max cash, max salary, and a promotion."

Great, just what I was looking for... a team willing to sacrifice their entire future just to secure a high level player. Throw in 3 1st round draft picks and it's a deal. And what is this about a promotion? I didn't realize I had a low rank.

"You will be getting at least 40 plays a game which should get you your 100XP"

It's nice to see a team at least show that they have SOME SORT of knowledge about how players earn XP after level 29, but I'm pretty sure I only really need 1 play in order to get my minimum 100XP.

Anybody else get any gems from other teams?

Actually you need around 22 plays (I believe) to get the maximum xp of 100.

And yes I agree 100% that Free Agency is a huge pain in the ass....

Well, I'm still thinking of joining that team that says they can't wait to see Jackson getting separated, and blowing defenders...

Yeah, I'm in the same position you are. I'm hoping to find a starting position in the WEPL so I can keep trolling these forums.

The bright side? Ya'll get to see my builds

I dunno I kinda like being a FA. I've been with the same team since day 1, so I like the whole "We'd love to have you here" pitch. At least for a day or two until it gets annoying.

Yeah, I got a bunch of offers for my CB that I retired today.

Interestingly enough, no offers for my 2 O-linemen that I also retired today.

I now have 6200 FP. I'm set for another season or 2 for free. Yaaay.

It didnt take me very long to get fed up with it. The last few days id get like 5 pitches a day, which is definitely manageable. It was easy enough to respond to each of them and let them know I was already committed for next season.

But then this morning, the shit just got way too crazy. I've been getting something like 15-20 an hour, and most of them just for my WR. I've been deleting them and not responding (because how could I possibly respond to all of these?). Finally my WR and CB got signed to the Meatballs. My OT isn't nearly as popular. I'm getting like 2-3 pitches an hour for my OT, but he's committed too.

FA isnt all that. Everyone is basically saying the same exact shit. It just comes off like spam.

My WR Disa Catch became a FA today and is allready promised to a team and I´m just waiting for his contract offer. Over the last hours I got 12 PM ( one was a good recruiting pm, the rest was bullshit) and 21 contract offers.

So I hope the owner of the team where my WR will go is coming online very soon to get my inbox free again.
