Great Article, a favorite steal of mine is Reggie Bush, a 79 OVR HB that turns into an 86 OVR WR, who is fast and is still quite young (24)

Joe,

If you’re talking about players that you put on IR, you can view that from the player management screen.

If you’re talking about players that aren’t listed anywhere on your depth chart, you can go into the depth chart screen and assign them where you like.

Good article, something I do, I just pop into franchise mode and sign these guys to one year deals, and let them go. I used to be into trades, but realized how bad it was hurting my cap. Another idea, is trade away all your picks. It’s better to be safe then sorry, the evil you know is better than the evil you don’t. If you need a QB in a draft, trade away for a guy like Curtis Painter who has a great arm and and a 71 DAC. He is a great player to build up, and cheap. Why not get a star player for a 1st and 2nd round pic, and save the hassle of spending all the money on draft picks that tend to “argue” about money.

i would do a franchise with the browns and i would trade jamal lewis and draft picks for matt forte, and i would trade willie mcginist and draft picks for lamarr woodley. Well my cap in the beginning of the season would be at 41 million but at the end when I would have like -7 million. it makes no sense because i would get rid of derek anderson and shaun rogers that year for franchise players too. and those are two of my most played players.

Ash-

In franchise options, make sure to set “Re-sign players” to user instead of CPU. Then when you are done resigning the guys you want to resign, hit start to advance to the next step of the offseason.

How does one NOT resign a player in the “resigning players section”? I know I can manually resign, or have the computer resign players, but there are specific players I DON’T want to resign, and every time I move forward to the next step the computer will resign players I don’t want – and I want that money and cap room! Is there a way to manually move ahead instead of simulating ahead? Or is there a way to release players so they just don’t show up at all on the resign section. I gotta be missing something.
