2023: Colts defeat the Lions 24-20 (Superbowl MVP: QB Jacoby Brissett)

And with that Cam Newton has opted to retire. A whirlwind in every sense of the way. Newton takes the dead in the water lions to their first playoffs, first playoff win and a superbowl trip. Then as quick as he arrives he leaves.

I've played with Winston in this. He and many others on there would hardly be improvements lol.

Of course you can see OVRs. What is Gardners vs like Carson?

Wentz has fallen apart to an 84, Gardner is an 79

Some B8 cuts as free agency starts
Dolphins cut @ShatteredElysium
Jaguars cut @_PandaMaster_
Jaguars cut @Lolo_Guru
49ers cut KCF but he knew

Oh no

No!!! My jags teammates.

I'll be honest the only reason I was sticking around was all the B8 people. I'm okay getting moved as well then if it's not to late.

*le gasp*

Wonder where I'll end up.

Explorers can be the new B8 team! Let's go!

The Eagles have traded QB Carson Wentz to the Miami Dolphins for a 1st RD pick this year (#3), and a 2nd and 4th next year

Only two teams wanted to deal with me, the Phins and Titans. The dolphins had a whopping 100 mil in cap free so they were easier to barter with

That seems a horrendous overpay by them

I meant in terms of draft capital. Unless an 84 is way better on current maddens than old ones

Key Free Agent Signings

Texans Raekwon McMillan (The award winner lands with a 4 year deal in texas)

CB
Chiefs Kendall Fuller (Chiefs paid this guy a lot for a 1 year)

This is clearly what was missing most and I'm ready for all the super bowls

Looks like I'm on a crap team again after all my fellow B8 talent left and not much happening at the Jags with trades/drafting. Oh well, time to carry the team until I get injured again...

---

Sorry Ringworm. Though tbf I was the only one that left the others got cut.

Congrats to the b8ers that got XFactor!

Don't worry about it. I'm sure I'll probably get traded soon enough/retire early anyway. Maybe this is the year for the Jags...

After doing nothing in Carolina for 4 seasons, Cam Newton signs here and leads the Lions to their first playoff, first playoff win, and their first superbowl. They got so close but with that loss, Newton hung it up and walked into the sunset.

Lions sign Maniac at WR, Chase Young at DE, and Joe Burrow at QB. Instead of being destroyed, the Lions were ready to come at 2024...but

After 4 injured seasons in Miami, Teddy finds himself lucky to start having been signed as the backup. Joe Burrow was finally getting his starting shot and it got noped away by injury

After 5 up and down years I ....decided Wentz inaccuracies and extremely slow release was killing the team. When he got injured and Adrian Martinez came in the team took on some new life. Thats when I decided I was moving on.

And then I ended up having a QB fall to my lap in the 2nd round of the draft. It was a close preseason battle, I named Martinez my starter....then backed out. Gonna give it a go with Quig.

This season is gonna be a real ???? with some key defensive injuries early and a rookie QB. The good news is JD Spielman is approaching superstar status. If the ball is in his hands, he has the potential to score from anywhere on the field.

The Steelers started this franchise with an over the hill Roethlisberger, let a hot Hodges go (although he petered out eventually), tried Mason Rudolph, drafted a possible bust in Devin Austin and now dig up J'Mar Smiths corpse who hasnt started in 3 seasons.

It isn't just at QB, the Steelers have made a point of just letting talent walk over and over.

The teddy era is over. I traded Wentz to the Dolphins who honestly would have taken the guy the Packers took. This...is a shorter answer for the phins as Wentz is up there in age, he is injury prone but maybe I just misused him?

This team made the playoffs at 8-8 by the skin of their teeth. But the real kicker is the phins release Shattered Elysium? Good luck wentz

Well certainly seems like the lions are going to be interesting.

Only one catch but I like being the goal line target! First touchdown with the new team!

---

Oh yeah! Actually putting up a good line now that I'm on a good team

Looks to be another losing season coming up. 10 tackles to start is solid though!

---

Oh no.

Gotta start out dramatic, of course

---

Well, gotta celebrate starting with a win as I don't expect too many this season.

Cowboys are in that no mans land. They're too good to get a good rebuild but not good enough to threaten in the playoffs. On the bright side I look like I'm becoming a superstar. Maybe I can get a pro bowl nod one day.
