How does one figure out what the minimum offer for a particular player is? I'm seeing that it varies from player to player.

Thanks,

 

There is a minimum based on the number of accrued years a player has. I always pull that number from the player profile at over the cap. But it looks like maybe my numbers are out of date -- I used the ones listed on page 1 of this thread but Joe's numbers are a little higher then mine so I am guessing updated figured are available somewhere.

Find out accrued years they have in the league and find the number in the chart. It's the very right ones on this page.

 

Cincinnati Bengals
Jeremy Maclin
$1,000,000 (10 year vet Min)

 

Essentially it's 15K more than what is listed on the 1st page. I think Tim forgot to update it from last year. At least no one came on the 21st thinking it was the 1st day of FA.

 

The Saints got him for $3.5M

 

I was mostly too lazy to look it up myself this morning... Thanks for the link.

 

Jeremy Maclin was signed on 2/19/18

 

The New York Giants have signed the Ghost of Julius Peppers.

How this guy at nearly 40 years old is still getting 10+ sacks is beyond me but hopefully he can help make the transition to a 3-4 a little smoother.

 

The New Orleans Saints bid:

Kevin Hogan, QB
$690,000

Well fine then
