Re-signing Players

I checked the Bears roster and realised i have 39 guys to re-sign!!! How the heck does that work??????

Anyone else got any issues?

I assume we will be able to Franchise Tag a player - and i live in hope that i will et a chance to re-negotiate with my players who rejected original negotiations (i.e. Urlacher).

My re-sign players isn't even available yet

its not available because your season is not over yet

Re-sign isn't available to anyone right now. It will be available once we advance to the preseason.
Where are you seeing the expired contracts? Under Team Needs?

Yeh - team needs.

I also hear players who are 'unavailable' can only be F-Tagged - what you know Boss?

39 is pretty ridiculous. So you didn't manage to resign any of your guys during the regular season? Did you sign a bunch of free agents during the season? Players that are signed to one year contracts, like all FAs during the season, can't be resigned until after the season.

I don't know about the franchise tag Bish.

Well, i checked the salary info and counted all the guys on 1 year = 39.

I did sign some FA's but i'd still be over 30 so i have no idea how that happened - cant believe the Bears IRL would put themselves in that situation!

I didn't sign anyone during the season - apart from entering negs with Urlacher and he told me to swivel!!!

That doesn't seem right. Check these two links:

I know under Team Needs there is a column "Expiring Contract" or something like that. See if you get a different count using that.

ok quick question ive Fran tagged one guy which basically eat up all my cap room now i have 290k to sign new FA and rookies - however i have cut some guys afterwards and said this will free up x amount in cap room but it hasnt increased from 290k. Will that increase on the advance of the week?

I know how you feel Bish ive just " Negotiated " with my players and the just told me where to go - that's loyalty for ya! At this rate im not gonna have a pot to p*** in for FA or the Draft!

I'm not sure Past but I'd think so. In the season I simmed I only had about $300k after resigning a couple players. I didn't cut or sign anyone during FA. Then after the draft I signed all my rookies and had $3.2mill free afterwards. I think the game reserves a set amount for rookies. Also here I have over $6mill free on the EA site but on PS3 it says I'm negative $1mill. On the other hand, it could be just another weird bug from EA so I can't tell you for sure if thats how things work or are supposed to work.

Ok Mate - Thanks anyway ill see how it all pans out

Ok my money did go up after the advance so i have got abit of money now to spend it Fa which is good because my squad is very small!!

Just wanted to know are you saving any of your money to allocate to rookies? as its not us that gives them the contract?? is MY cap room MINE and them the CPU has some already stored away for rookies?

The CPU already has a certain amount stored for Rookies. If you go to Team Salaries it shows how much. I think its called Reserved Rookie Space or something.

ahh ill look on the ps3 when i get back then, thanks! - trying to do it on the website and its terrible.

Ah, ok important info, thx! That means, i can use my actual cap room for the freeagents now and will have enough money for my rookies?
