So out of pure boredom (and fandom) I paid the $5.95 to get the upgraded version of Fanspeak and it's pretty damn cool, especially for just $5.95 (queue WWE voice $9.99 ha-ha). Have to be somewhat of a WWE fan to get that one, but anyways back to the point of the post. Like I said it's pretty cool, you get to run the offseason as the GM managing the cap, cutting and re-signing players, and then running thru Free Agency. You also get the upgraded draft where you can make trades. So the point of all this you might ask? Well fellow Dolfans, I am going to post what I did as the GM in Free Agency and draft, and for those who have the premium version as well, I'd like you to post how yours went in the comments below for comparison and for discussion. So without further ado, here is my GM moment, oh and don't hate cause I am a Miami Hurricanes homer as well, lol!:
Part 1 - Clearing Cap Space - Ended up with $39M in cap space after this, headed to Resigning:
Restructured-
Hartline
Fields
Ellerbe (for one more year, only if restructures, since he got injured last year and provides depth)
Wake (Doubtful, but you never know)
Cut-
Wheeler
Mitchell
Finnegan
Gibson
Starks
Smith
& a few other no names that Fanspeak has on the Roster
NOTE: * I kept Wallace only because I am assuming no one will trade for him and it would be better to cut him in 2016 opposed to this year
Part 2 - Resign or Tag Players - Ended up with $30M in cap space after this, headed to Free Agency:
Clay-4 years $16M
Odrick-5 years $29M

NOTE* - I missed on Gore in Free Agency and the targets I had in the Draft, so I didn't address RB in late rounds because I think we'll pick up an UDFA or Veteran after the draft.
