But I signed a new head coach Jeff Fischer, which also was my head coach last time I relocated to Canada in Madden (around 6 years ago ), and I also signed Josh Daniels as Toronto Moose offensive coordinator.
My franchise QB Derrick Logan got his new 7 years contract worth $93,71M, and his first year he will get a salary of $9,24M.
FUN FACT: there is only 10 players left from my rosters in the 2008 season, when I started the big turnaround with Tampa Bay Buccaneers, going in new 2013 season, 6 players from the draft 2008 and 4 free agents
Jeff Fischer... I expect you will be able to win more than seven games... hahahaha
Would not be Josh McDaniels? New England Patriots offensive coordinator?
QB Derrick Logan gets a great deal... what you plan to do when the contracts came to ~$15M per year?
In My Madden universe, I won 3 SUPER BOWL rings in a row with Jeff Fischer and yes, it is Josh McDaniels from New England Patriots
About Derrick Logan deal, it can be a challenge when his salary came to $15,18M, but will first happen in 2017 in the 5. year of the new contract, so my franchise rules (after Nza's Guide) the salary cap raise $3M per offseason, which is $15M after 5 years. After my franchise rules (after Nza's guide), I can restructure one contract every season I can only change the length of the contract
. ex a high paied players with 1 year left of his contract, I can give him a new 7 years contract, but I have to pay want he wants - that will also help
I also look at the players with the highest pay check, which is off course is Derrick Logan and then there is WR Mark Clayton with a salary of $ 7,11M and he is 31 years old going into the 2013 season with 1 year left of his contract, so the 2013 season could be his last season for my franchise. The same with CB Daven Holly, he is also 31 years old and 1 year left of his contract, with a salary $3,85M (6. highest paid player in my franchise in the 2013 season) , so he could also be cut after this season.
But some player progression can still be stabile after the get over 30 years old, ex with my Bills franchise was WR Lee Evans 32 years old, stabil OVR rating of 93 (same OVR when he was 30 years), had his best season with 1782 receiving yards
All players over 30 years old will I look at very closely because their progression normal going down and they normally get a high salary
A negative example also from Bills franchise my 1. CB Terrence McGee had a OVR = 92 when he was 29 years, 2 years later his OVR had dropped 4 to 87
