Hulky's Fake NFL Franchise
I've run it on another site for a couple years and this will be the third. Figured I'd keep track of it here as well.
Instead I am not going to start with a prior team, and instead enlist current FAs and cherry pick some mocked "unprotected" players from existing rosters somewhat like how NFL Expansion teams did. Then I will begin with pick 0 of each round of the NFL draft for the first year before self-evaluating what pick I will have in the following years. I will also manage the team's cap space and can adopt any irl FA signing with the following conditions: 1. can not "steal" an NFL FA signing if the real signing team is a contending team and the St Louis Music are not. 2. If the St. Louis Music are a bottom 10 team the adopted contract is given a 10% premium. 3. If the adopted NFL FA signing is a premium player and the St. Louis Music are a middling team a 5% premium is added to the contract. 4. If starting potential is available on the St. Louis Music, but the real awarded team projects as rotation or depth, then rule 1 can be waived. 4. Can not adopt the contracts of FAs of other teams who resign with the team they last played on.
Coaching I will cherry pick a staff from the NFL that is not currently employed, or is employed at a lower coaching position (I can promote an OC from an existing team to HC of the Music for example). All coaching contracts are 4 years and I lose coordinators if they are hired in real life to HC.
St. Louis Music
Coaching hires:
Kris Richard, Head Coach (Dallas Cowboys DB & Passing Game Coordinator)
Marcus Brady, Offensive Coordinator (Indianapolis Colts QB Coach)
Aaron Glenn, Defensive Coordinator (New Orleans Saints DB Coach)

apparently expansion teams start out with extra picks, so maybe we wouldn't have been as bad last year! I'm going to make believe, since it's all make believe, that I traded them all to this year and now I have a surprise haul of 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7 that I wasn't expecting! Yay!
