2025 Forum Mock: Discussion Thread

Also, new in 2025. Newly signed free agent contracts can still be released or traded. But the sender will incur 100% of the contract. This does not apply to minimum level deals. This should help mirror the inability to move freshly signed players with savings, as those first years are fully guaranteed in virtually most cases.

Phase 1 of the UFA process (12 Stars and Above) will begin on Thursday, 03/20/2025. Get your wallets ready!

I can't remember, is this by position or every position is up for grabs?

Good question. Every position, all in one thread. For Phase 4, the minimums, we will have two separate threads as in previous years.

since the @Cowboysfan1 Patriots have significant cap space, enough for maybe 3 seasons of the Forum Mock, can they take on the players that are currently on my teams?

Late addition for this year, but we wanted to keep people involved in the UFA process. So we are allowing people to have the option match up to TWO home-team UFA contracts per team. The caveats are: the player CANNOT be matched if their contract exceeds 6 Stars, and the intentions of potentially matching have to be publicly announced BEFORE the UFA process begins in the Tenders, Cuts and Restructures Thread. Just like with the FA bids, BOTH the team names and the player names have to be spelled correctly in the intention to match.

You are NOT married to the match. If the home-team target is paid more than you'd prefer, or if you're out of available cap space, you can simply choose to let them walk. That way, whomever wants to bid on the FA is aware of the potential of their contract being matched, and can either risk it by underbidding to maximize cap space but also open a window to lose the target, or pay them enough to take the home team out of contention.

Lastly, to minimize their effect on ongoing bids, the match needs to be publicly stated within 6 hours of the winning bid.
 
Just to clear things up and make it official:
I will officially move the Chargers back home to San Diego and therefore post as the San Diego Chargers!
(Los Angeles Chargers are history!)

@JO_75 Please follow the provided trade format template. The quantities need to be listed as traded, not received, the pick numbers from each round are required, and the contract totals both taken on and saved. Also, Denver does not have a 7th to trade away.
