Madden actually would make this move far more prohibitive than it is in actuality, as the Titans would reject the trade and no cap relief options that exist in real life would be provided in game.
You continuing to call the best running back in the NFL a "third running back" tells me all I need to know.
I just want to know which players we are getting rid of to make room. Seems like a fair question. Considering our draft picks we have 3-4m left, possibly, unless we clear some room.
They don't disregard reality. You can create room immediately by offering him a short extension, spreading the hit out over time and backloading it. You can attempt to restructure a few different players. There are multiple other tools that teams use on a daily basis to fit players under the cap - on teams with FAR worse cap situations than us, like the Saints for example.
They have a huge bucket of draft capital to devote to the roster, and have already made several defensive additions. And, yes, he is the best running back in the league. No competition.
Extensions aren't always fully guaranteed. You're not getting it.
The Niners acquired McCaffrey for much, much more than Seattle acquires Henry for in this hypothetical, and they rode his ass to a championship appearance (which might have been more had their quarterbacks not all been killed). Your skepticism towards it is simply not in line with the rest of the league.
Dont you wanna restructure and extend a 30 year old running back and kick the can down the road a few years, though!?!? I for one would love to still be paying Henry when 2030 rolls around. CHAMPIONSHIP.
Gurley was not as good as Henry, and they spent a high first on him, only getting rid of him because his knee was worn to nothing but bones rubbing together.
Been in the league nearly as long and has a much worse injury history. Try again
I'm not talking about injury history, I'm talking about the cliff that RBs fall off of when they are 30/31.
