Every user should have been told when they signed their rookies in the spreadsheet or via PM of their cap space and roster holes entering free agency. Should free agency end with there still being holes on your roster, the AI will fill those holes for you. You do not have to be under the salary cap at the end of free agency. I will give users several days after free agency ends to do so.

This will take some time, but the following posts of mine will contain the base deals for all the players in the free agent sheet. Once I do that, consider free agency as having officially begun. The deadline to send me offers for the first period of free agency will be 8 PM ET on Friday, June 8th.
---

KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy
https://imgur.com/VfpY7tg

There will be three periods of free agency, each subsequent period spanning fewer real life days than the previous one. Here are the tentative real life days each period will last:
1st - 7 days
2nd - 4 days
3rd - 1 day

Here are some sample contract offers that I will accept, including to more simple approaches:
4 / $7.00 mil / $1.40 mil
3 years default, +$2 mil total salary, +$500k signing bonus
2 years default

When you give me an offer, you are offering my consent to offer the player the closest deal that he will consider, meaning that if you offer 4 / $6.00 mil / $2.00 mil and he will only consider it when it is 4 / $7.00 mil / $2.00 mil, I will offer him the latter. If that does not sit well with you, then you have the simpler options I previously laid out or you can explicitly say not to offer the contract unless he will consider those exact terms.

When you PM me the offers, I want you to include a header that says "[Your Team]'s Offers" so that I don't accidentally open them. In addition to being the commissioner, I am also the Dolphins' GM, so there could be some conflict of interest. Thus, the best way around that is for me to not open those PMs until the deadline for the current phase has passed. I have default PM settings, so you can tell if and when I open a PM of yours. Also, free agency is almost always not my way of team building, and my only plans right now are to offer a QB who didn't even qualify for the free agent sheet to become my #3 QB.

Under no circumstances may you ask me if so and so player will consider a certain deal or anything of that nature. You may ask me general questions regarding free agency but nothing that goes against the spirit of it or give you a competitive advantage. If you do have a question and use the PM system instead of the topic, make sure that you are clear that you are asking a question, or I might not open it out of fear the PM containing contract offers.

There are two types of contract offers that I will immediately discard:
1. Any mentioning of the word maximum pertaining to total salary and/or signing bonus
2. A massive one year contract (possibly two-year contracts depending on the situation)

The first one I have actually received in the past. I threw it out because it is both unfair in the laziest of ways and also impossible as you can go quite high in total salary, and I do not want to spend 20 minutes inputting a single offer.

The second one is also unfair to teams with lots of cap space to maintain artificial flexibility for future seasons by using up a lot of cap space this season and then sign that same player next season to an uncontested market or below-market contract in the following offseason in a process they can repeat as many times as they can/want.

Also due to fairness, any cuts you wish to make during free agency must be done well ahead of time to give other users enough of a chance to make a bid on their services:
- 96 hours prior to the end of Period 1
- 72 hours prior to the end of Period 2
- No cuts allowed in Period 3

Free Agency

See all those players in the free agent sheet? Now is the time to attempt to sign them to your team ahead of the preseason. I say attempt because you are in theory competing against the other 31 teams for the services of all availble free agents.

Unlike the three offseason events involving signings, the base/desired deal that I will eventually list may not be enough to sign them, and almost definitely will not if it is a high-rated player and/or the top-rated free agent at each position. If you do intend to seek out one or more of those players, you will probably want to send out a custom offer in excess of what they want, whether that means years, total money, signing bonus, or what's usually the case, a combination of the three. Do be aware though that there are new rules starting this season in terms of the max contract length that I will allow you to offer a player.

You may not offer a contract to a player that goes beyond their age 34 season unless the base deal already extends beyond that. If a free agent is 31 right now and wants a two-year contract, you may go as far as four years because that would take him through his age-34 season (31, 32, 33, 34). If another free agent is also 31 and wants a five-year contract, you can offer him those five years but no more than that. Any player 28 and under is not affected by this rule as the max contract length, seven years, will take them through their age-34 season or younger.

Not every free agent is up on the sheet. I would estimate that somewhere between 15-25% of all free agents are on there. The free agent sheet just lists the Top 8 and worst at each position. If there's a certain kind of player that you are looking for that either isn't or don't know if they are on the sheet, feel free to ask me, and I will get back to you if such a player fits that description.

I thought about that, and that is a viable option, but I will need a laptop soon because B8NFLL is just one of dozens of things that either are far more convenient, far less time-consuming, and/or only possible on a laptop.

In related news, I forgot that I had a 10 year old laptop that is barely functional that I can use today. I plan on updating the spreadsheet momentarily for adding rookies, adding back in some players for teams I accidentally removed, and updating the team financial sheet. If it all goes well, I actually intend on starting free agency tonight.

What is Game of the Month Club?
Game of the Month is a community project open to all B8ers where users share, discover, play and/or discuss a select few games every month. The games featured each month are chosen by YOU the users (and Lady Luck)

The Basics
- Each month will feature three games that were chosen via a random drawing from a pool of games that users nominated
- For each game you beat, you get a cool point on our just-for-fun standings as well as a nomination for next month's randomized drawing
- In order to receive the point and nomination, you must beat said game within the calendar month
- If you beat one of the current month's games in the previous month, you can apply for a "recently beaten waiver," but you will only receive a point and no nomination should you do so
- Drawing for next month's games is usually around a week before the end of the month
- If you periodically keep us posted on your progress and/or talk about different aspects of the games, then everyone will think you are super awesome!

Nomination Rules
- You get one nomination automatically each month
- You receive additional nominations each month for every chosen game that you beat
- Each game you nominate has to be unique from all other nominations and cannot include a game that has already been selected for GotM
- Each game must be a standalone game that can be acquired and played on its own (aka cannot be DLC/expansion that requires the base game)
- Nominations only carry over if you beat a chosen game after the drawing for next month's games but before the end of the month

That example one is $600-something.

I consider sub-$500 low-tier, $500-999 mid-tier, and $1000+ high tier. Those ranges were semi-arbitrarily chosen.

So one of the laptops I have looked at has an AMD A12-9720P. I know little about this stuff, but I think that its architecture is in the Bristol Ridge mold and has a 15W TDP.

While the architectural name means nothing to me, the lower the TDP the better correct?

I just realized that the deadline has now passed. We only had one user team left and will take care of that later. It is possible that I can start free agency tonight. I also might make a series of spoiler-tagged posts to inform those who are interested the overall ratings of the AI, Bears, and Cowboys rookies since I likely won't have the spreadsheet updated until mid-June or so.

Other factors are more important to how much heat a processor will contribute like architecture, load, how its cooled, quality of the thermal paste, and the physical construction of the processor itself.

I take it these aren't things that I could conceivably know, unless there exist sites that explicitly detail that info?

Also if you didn't want to splash out on a new laptop, do they not do like Wi-Fi usb dongles to use as an interim fix? I remember those being a thing a long time ago for computers lacking Wi-Fi cards but not sure they exist anymore

Edit: Quick Google search says they still exist and you can get a cheap one for $10-15 if it truly is your Wi-Fi card that has died

I did look into those and decided that I should just go ahead and get a new laptop.

Okay, it has been just a day, but I cannot retain my sanity having to use my tablet and phone for all things internet, so I am going to get a new laptop by July. I feel totally justified in my fiscal irresponsibility.

I am also most definitely a multitasker

I use a cooling pad, but I will probably get a new one

So I am in the preliminary stages of laptop shopping, and I have settled on just about everything that I am looking for except for this and have some questions.

1. While I do a little bit of everything on my laptop, I don't do things like video/sound editing, heavy-duty business/math/science programs, or play high-end games (use consoles for that). I know that as a result, I don't need a quad core, but will it still make a (positively) significant impact for me?

2. This would be a mid-tier laptop, so is there any risk to the laptop if I go for a higher or the highest processing unit than whatever the default would be?

3. What effect, if any, does having a quad-core processor have on heat generation and battery life?

White Sox won when I was 15. It still haunts me that I fell asleep watching game four just as the bottom of the 8th ended.

Uh, I think that my laptop's WiFi card is toast, which is an inopportune time for this to happen for many reasons. I was planning on replacing this laptop this year anyway, but after "splurging" on appliances and home maintenance projects, that time cannot be now. I am probably going to have to post things via phone and tablet for awhile and only update the spreadsheet when I am in a situation where I can use an Ethernet cord to sync offline changes (probably every few weeks or so).

Sorry for the inconvenience, but this ultimately should not affect the league much aside from having to endure a bunch of sloppy posts from me and delayed spreadsheet updates.

It's not like you're rooting for the Reds/Royals/White Sox/Marlins/Orioles.

Not everything has been awful...
