Week 6 will be live simmed on Saturday, December 16th
---

Nobody suffered an injury that requires a roster move, but I will now PM users who did suffer injuries this week and weren't there for the live sim.
---

Ugh just can't pull these games out.
---

All three injury PMs went out. In the meantime, we have an AI trade!

Redskins receive
WR Reggie Wayne

Titans receive
MLB Brian Urlacher

This trade is up for 24 hour peer review, and Stan needs to confirm.

Since I was the one who proposed this to Stan, I will explain my reasoning behind this.

The Titans do not own any of their first three picks. They have absolutely 0 reason not to go for winning and a playoff spot (which I always encourage). They also have excess talent at WR and with their recent switch to a 3-4 defense (it had to be revealed for the rest of the league to understand Stan), they need a better starting MLB to side with David Harris. Enter Brian Urlacher and the Titans/Redskins do what amounts to be a rental-for-rental trade since I believe both players will likely retire after this season. The only repercussion for the Titans (barring unforeseeable injuries) is that he will incur a $3+ mil cap penalty next season, which Stan understands and was ultimately okay with in our chat.

Given the ages of their starters, the Redskins are in win-now mode even if it appears to be unlikely that they will win. Their WR corps is pretty sad to look at, and Wayne would be a massive upgrade over everyone. If nothing else, perhaps the addition of Wayne will help the development of QB Matt Moore some. MLB Brian Urlacher, while their best MLB, has been blocking former 1st round pick Taylor Smith, and it's probably long overdue to see what he can do. Trading Urlacher will result in a cap penalty of just $1.12 mil, so there's little reason from the Redskins perspective to keep Taylor Smith from starting and not seeing if Wayne can help out at all in the win column or in player development.

I realize that I never had specific rules in place when it comes to trading with AI teams with negative B8NFLL cap space. In this scenario, the Redskins gain immediate cap relief (and when they sign a replacement MLB, they will likely still have cap relief given the lack of free agent talent available), have to pay a cap penalty just north of $1 mil next season, and likely won't be paying Wayne next season if he retires like I think he will. I'd say it is fair and considerate to the Redskins hazardous cap space issues.
---

Urlacher and Briggs back together oh yeah.

Confirming

I have no idea if I'll have enough money to sign all these pending free agents in the offseason. But then again, I might not even be with the Titans so whatever.

#yoloyearcontinues

Finally my DLine wakes up, and not a game too soon. Sub-50% completion... is that a normal game for Jacobs? Maybe it's just the NFC East jitters.

Do my eyes deceive me, or did the Pioneers lose at Pioneers Stadium?! Keep it up stan!
---

I'm pretty sure that the Titans have a new sponsor for their stadium
---

It better be "Jaguar Land Rover Field"
---

That jags D is on lock!
---

willing to give limbs for defense hit me up
---

Would you happen to have stats for my QB from that game? If not, it's okay, but I would be interested in seeing those each game as we go on, if it's not too much trouble.
---

I can make no promises. I can probably get you Manuel's stats later tonight, but I can guarantee he didn't have multiple TDs or turnovers since I always include such players
---

Redskins/Titans trade is now official

Manuel was 20-33, 209 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT

Here is ranking of the average ages (in years) of all 32 teams as of the moment Week 1 was simmed. It will be in order of oldest to youngest. This isn't meant to mean that having an older team is better/worse than having a younger team or anything.

1. Minnesota Vikings - 30.21
2. Atlanta Falcons - 29.20
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - 28.78
4. St. Louis Rams - 28.72
5. Indianapolis Colts - 28.70
6. Seattle Seahawks - 28.63
7. Washington Hawks - 28.58
8. New England Patriots - 28.44
9. Denver Broncos - 28.37
10. Columbus Pioneers - 28.32
11. Las Vegas Pumpkins - 28.29
12. San Francisco 49ers - 28.27
T-13. Buffalo Bills - 28.21
T-13. Oakland Raiders - 28.21
15. Pittsburgh Steelers - 28.18
16. Jacksonville Jaguars - 28.17
17. Carolina Panthers - 28.10
18. Washington Redskins - 28.04
19. Green Bay Packers - 28.03
T-20. Anaheim Lightning - 27.96
T-20. Mexico City Browns - 27.96
22. Cincinnati Bengals - 27.90
23. Dallas Cowboys - 27.89
24. Los Angeles Bears - 27.87
T-25. New York Giants - 27.78
T-25. New York Jets - 27.78
27. Toronto Wildcats - 27.77
28. Tennessee Titans - 27.53
29. Kansas City Chiefs - 27.52
30. Detroit Lions - 27.41
31. Miami Dolphins - 26.64
32. Baltimore Ravens - 26.51

Quite a few surprises. I was sure that the Redskins would be in the Top 10 with the Lightning and Jaguars right around there. I also did not expect the Dolphins and Ravens to have the youngest teams.
---

Yeah the Dolphins way down there is a shocker. And it looks like the older teams are predominately AI and less... active... users, while the younger teams are all users.
---

Thanks!
---

I am a little surprised the Giants are so young.

I feel like we would drop a few places just with Corey Simon
---

I know that my average age will probably plummet next season when I get 4-6 retirements of players who are like 38. My o-line is ancient and has an average age of like 34 or something ridiculous

Pretty much this. Tho I knew I was going young, I didnt expect it to be that young lol
---

Younger than I thought. I think some cuts this past offseason contributed to that, and 1 or 2 looming retirements will as well.
---

Oh yeah, Ravens and Dolphins are super young. Even with my expected retirements I'd only drop to 26.88 so they would still be younger than me. Thought they might pull me below them but nope.

Despite adding several players that are 30+, I'm not surprised that we are still one of the youngest teams.

Glad I should be able to get to the sim today.

Also pleased with my age, I have tried to make a concerted effort to get younger from my very first season.

Do we have a time for this? Depending on when it is, I may or may not make it.

No but KCF said that it would be earlier than the usual time. So probably in the next couple hours.

It "may" be earlier I think he said. We don't have a time, no

This is how I remembered it, too, but I wasn't sure if I missed anything more specific later.

Depending on if it's earlier, and if so, how much earlier, I may be able to make it, but if not, GO BILLS.

Thanks, guys.

It might be closer to usual time. I made myself available all day today regarding another B8 project, and if it is happening, it will happen soon.
---

Whats the usual time?
---

8-9 PM ET about
---

Oh I may not make it after all. We'll see
---

Yeah, let's say 8:30 PM ET
---

Spreadsheet is fully updated, but I am not going to post game summaries until later
---

If I lost again and am 2-4, may be time to start looking at Andrew Luck seeing the field...
---

You lost again
---

Just when i thought i couldn't hate Russell Wilson and the color orange any more than i already do. Getting Domanick Davis back should get us on track *crosses fingers*
---

Yeah, Wilson was responsible for over 300 yards and I think three TDs, so he's been on fire as of late.
