Ravens Ring of Honor
I was looking at this originally which completely threw me off: https://overthecap.com/contracts/baltimore-ravens
You're good, man. Been a bit of a madhouse so I'm just getting started with things now. Only just getting to the spreadsheets. Honestly, of the things involving us, I'm more disappointed about drafting Dohnovan West, current XFL player, over Malcolm Rodriguez lol Good pick on the latter. Looking forward to this year!
As we get into picking teams, I did want to call out that cap tables have gotten wonky with the addition of void years. For a bunch of teams, there may be a cap charge listed for a player that will be a free agent. Make sure you do research as to who is actually on your team and don't use the cap table to tell you. Might not be perfect, but honestly, Wikipedia rosters are a solid resource to see who is on the roster and who isn't at this stage.

How about roster lists from team websites?
Think it depends if it's updated. For instance, I just went to the Ravens roster on their site and they still have the IR and PS delineations and no mention of FAs yet. So proceed with caution.
Hey everyone - as previously alluded to, we are doing a complete revamp of FA this year and wanted to post this snippet (which will be updated in the rules thread). Please read through and throw any questions here. Happy to help answer any concerns, but we're hoping this better mimics real life and gets rid of some of the drama from sniping, final five, and all of that jazz that hasn't exactly been great over the last few years.
________________________
Free Agency:
Free Agency will be completely revamped this year in an effort to better simulate real-life FA conditions. The goal of this revamped process is to encourage maximum bids early, while still enabling you to fill a hole at a position if the bidding on a premier player rises above what you're willing to pay.
Round 1: Bids 12 stars and above, must hold the high bid for 24 hours to win the player
Round 2: Bids 7 stars and above, must hold the high bid for 12 hours to win the player
Round 3: Bids 3 stars and above, must hold the high bid for 12 hours to win the player
Round 4: Bids 1 star and above, must hold the high bid for 8 hours to win the player
All free agent periods will open at 7pm EST.
In the new revamped free agency process, players will no longer be grouped by position. All players on the move tracker/free agent list document are eligible for bidding. There will be no set end time on the FA period. You simply have to hold the high bid for the allotted time mentioned above and you will win the player. Snipe bids, final five, etc. have all been removed from previous years.
Once the next round begins, no new bids will be allowed in the previous round's thread. The previous round's thread will remain open only to conclude victory if there are still outstanding bids. Bids do not have to stay in the 7-12 star range for round 2, but must at least be a minimum of 7 to start. If a bidding war ensues and you wish to bid above 12 stars to sign a player, that is fine. The same rule applies to all successive rounds.

many aren't updated from the end of last season.

OTC also often takes a long time to update signings
any signings after roster lock won't matter, unless the signing / trade / cut was in the game.
Yes, they tend to be late on the signings, but many times spotrac just puts them at the bottom of the list without the actual contract numbers. There are advantages to both sites though.
