The first step is to create a team page. Your team page will consist of your players and their salaries, your team’s free agents, draft picks, salary cap information, signings, cuts/releases, and trades. The first thing you need to do is get your player salaries from HERE
Next create a new thread in the Team Pages sub-forum. Please post your roster in a format similar to this:
EXAMPLE:
Team A:
QB Player A $9,876,543 (-$1,234,567)
QB Player B $3,456,789 (-$7,654,321)
RB Player C $9,876,543 (-$1,234,567)
RB Player D $3,456,789 (-$7,654,321)
and so on
Complete your roster section of your team page by organizing your players by position like above and be sure to add up all the salaries so you have your team salary.
Next get your team’s free agent from the same spreadsheet, and copy and paste your team's free agents into your team page. Record all your team's free agents in a format like below:
UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS
QB Player E
RB Player F
RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS
WR Player G
TE Player I
EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FREE AGENTS
OT Player J
OG Player K
NOTE: Feel free to tender any free agents if they are RFA's or ERFA's in the ANNOUNCE YOUR TAGGED/TENDERED PLAYERS thread but make sure you read on their use first! DO NOT TRADE YOUR ERFAS, RFAS AND FRANCHISED PLAYERS' RIGHTS UNTIL YOU’VE TENDERED THEM!! For more on these guys, please read the ANNOUNCE YOUR TAGGED/TENDERED PLAYERS thread.
Next get your team’s draft picks from the DRAFT RULES & INFO thread. Find all your teams draft picks and list them like so:
DRAFT PICKS
1.1
2.33
3.65
Finally list categories for "Trades" and "Cuts" along with Dead Money so you have somewhere to list your cuts and trades after they occur. Remember that you do not need to be under the salary cap until the start of free agency, so don't worry about cutting players until free agency nears. The sections should look like this:
TRADES:
Team A gets:
QB Player L
Team B's 1st round pick (1.2)
Team B gets:
QB Player A
Team A's 1st round pick (1.1)
Team A gets:
RB Player M
Team C's 2nd round pick (2.35)
Team C gets:
RB Player B
Team A's 2nd round pick (2.33)
and so on
CUTS:
QB Player B (-$7,654,321)
RB Player D (-$7,654,321)
Please do not put up your team page until the Excel link is posted, just to make sure we're all on the same page. This prevents extra work from inaccuracies.
