this is to try and win.
I will stay in the league and filter thru my young guys and try to rebuild.
I played this team several years and was in playoffs all the time. Missed winning once by a missed 37 yr FG at the end of the game.
This year is a win
Next year is a bust.
Many teams do this.
War Eagle was my first trade.
I told him what I was doing.
Yes, I did say to some that I would leave the league, but I have decided to stay.
I can rebuild thru FA's and trades.
But, if this is a bad way to play..... Play like the Yankees,,,,,, then change the trade rules.
Yankees did this way for years.
I will stay in the league and build back with draft in the future.
Maybe it won't win. Then you all can say he is a fool.
If I win... I want to thank all those who traded with me.
It won't ruin my rep in other leagues as I trade all the time. In every league.
It is what I do. Trade to get better for now, next year.... or much later. All trades have a plan
Oh, well..... I am open to discussion anytime to anyone.
No one told Steinbrenner he was wrong... just said he should let the small market teams win.
I help a lot of teams for their future......with my trades. Otherwise they would not do it
Again, WarEagle did the first one. Said he could not resist.
Maybe he will beat me anyway.
Lets all see how it plays out

The Yankees dont play under a salary cap

Your team will go into next season already 40+ Million over the cap so I dont see where you expect to sign FA. You have no draft. I have never seen this drastic of strategy.

I have also gone all in before but not to the point where I give up my complete future.

I hope you stick around because this is going to be one crazy mess to fix.

I would expect anyone left on your team with high contracts are going to needed to be released or traded and you most likely be stuck with 30-40 rated players but yes we shall see.

that is all true..... but no one noticed that I had renewed my team for next year ,, BEFORE.,, this trade thing started.
It will be a mess. Part of learning to play the league is to go drastic sometime

Yes the Yankees played under a cap.. ALWAYS to the top or over and paid the penalty fees. Next year will be my penalty fee. lol
We should have traded more by the way.

How was that even allowed to go through?

I tell you, this AI trade balance thing is really screwed up.

has anyone noticed that I have draft picks soon... in a couple of drafts after I get rid of the older guys with big contracts that I so kindly took off the hands of those I traded.

Hopefully I will rebound fast..... probably will with some trading, I will..
I wish more people would trade. It seems my offers are so good that people
cannot resist them. Thanks all traders and for those of you who don't very often,
try to make some offers to others...not just me.
