Overall, the Jets made the biggest gains through free agency. They will be a strong team this season. Tennessee also had some nice signings. The AFC made some big gains.
That is crazy. In my second off season Julio Jones was a FA and went unsigned.Originally Posted by jaymo76
I see quite a few former Dolphins on the Raiders.
I have given up on any hope of free agency in Madden. The farther you go the more crazy it is. Plus it's so easy to sign players for cheap. Many players will not be offered contracts so all you have to do is short change them/ cut the bonus and offer in the last week of free agency and it's pretty much a guarantee they sign with you.
As for Julio Jones, that was the same with me. He went in as an FA and was not signed until pre-season. However, this off-season he was the #1 target teams went after and he got huge bucks.
My biggest concern moving forward is how borked the QB situation will be. Historically, PS3 Madden began to fall apart by season 3/4. That is where I currently sit right now.
$90,000 per season or total?
Neither one works. Must be a typo.

Don't have the game on right now but I believe it was 90,000 per season for 3 seasons. The guy is a level 18 trainer and one of the highest priced in the pool. High rated trainers really help with limiting injuires in 15.
$90,000 just doesn't even seem realistic or possible, especially for one of the highest priced trainers in the pool. $900,000 would make much more sense.

Phew! I hope it's per year because my salary at a high school would be MUCH higher that that guys if it's 90k over 3.
I find that nothing in Madden NFL related to salary/expenses is realistic. I think they dumb down the finances in order to make it more accessible to the non-hardcore players.
Which makes no sense to me. If someone (a producer, designer, whoever) is going to make an argument that the money stuff needs to be dumbed-down in order to be more accessible, making the numbers smaller (or more unrealistic) doesn't really make it more accessible. Unless it somehow makes the salary cap easier to navigate, which I doubt. Math is still math, whether the numbers are small or large. If they need dumbed-down, they need to be removed, not decreased.

TheDraft is upon us. Oakland has the 24th overall pick. Needs include MLB and FS. Will there be the possibility of trading up??? Only time wll tell.
Breaking news...
The Raiders are announcing a trade...
have traded the 24th pick and WR James Jones to the
in exchange for the 6th overall pick.
Oakland management believes that Jones is in the twilight of his career and the up and coming recievers need time to develop.
With the #6 pick,
Riaders tried to swing another trade with the Titans, 49ers, Panthers, Ravens, and Packers but every deal fell through. Finally the Packers selected TE Poppy Chaman. The Raiders just could not get the deal done. This kid will be something special.
Not a huge area of need for Oakland but with the 2nd round pick they selected the best player on the baord, CB Tyri Bernard from Boston College. Bernard is a speedster. He is a prototype DB who prefers a 4-3 D formation. The Raider DB depth is improving.
With the 3rd round pick, Oakland selects WR Christian Terry, a strong route running WR out of Wyoming.
