RAPID CITY INFERNO [GM DARIO]

[Talon]

 

Not jealous of that part of your job.   Good luck.

[Talon]

...Making a trade mistake in your first off-season in town?  SO Cringe... ew.


Anyways, I just spoke to Kate with the league office and she informed me that we did not possess the Munich 2nd round pick before league officing the trade that send that Munich 2nd round pick to Miami.

Since Munich sent in their paperwork before the league made its finds, the trade's were fixed to go through and send Miami the 2nd round pick we owed them, but we're still being fined $1MM from our off-season bonus fund. 

If we have another mistake they're going to come down really hard on us, so like, yeah... don't mess up again.  We need to league office the fine payment, too.

[GM Dario]

Thank ya London. Shoulda woulda coulda, ya know? But we're solid now, payment made, so no worries.

[Talon]

  No worries, heh... tell that to Robbie.


Toodles.

[Talon]

WITH YOUR STAFF FULLY HIRED, YOU ARE INVITED TO THE SCOUTING COMBINE.  YOU MAY SUBMIT YOUR SPENDING VIA THE LEAGUE OFFICE.

[Talon]

Hey, so... After signing our draft picks we have 11 open roster positions to fill with $5.8MM in salary cap and $3.5MM in bonus available to do so. We require a punter but the remaining roster spots are flexible.  We also have $4.7MM in off-season bonus money remaining as well.

The experts over Pro Football Focus gave us a draft score of 80.5 which was 26th in the league.

If you have any questions, let me know asap.

[GM Dario]

All the numbers match up, London, though I won't tell Gregory Metz that he's gonna change positions from Punter.

11, 5.8, 3.5, 4.7 -  we're on the same page.

And I'll take a C Grade with what we had to work with.  Time to make the Free Agency Honor Roll, Baby!!

[Talon]

 

Hey, so... we have received a fine for communicating with four parties out of turn during phase 1.  This form of tampering has resulted in a $100K fine for each account that we must pay from either our off-season or S18 bonus fund.

You need to league office the payment ASAP and be careful, as the punishment could be more severe next time.

[GM Dario]

Paid in Full, London. 

Gonna have to get those RIF Books like we had at the Elementary School Book Drives.

We're good now.
