Jason Wood gives all the signings/trades a rating.
Thanks rad,We're loving this thing. For a peek in the process of how it works around here, with the super smart guys we have like David, Jason Wood and Doug Drinen, it goes like this: I get tired of what the other sites are offering. I ask Jason, Doug and David what we can do ourselves. A few days later, we have the Free Agent Tracker. Very cool stuff.
Thanks Bri. When you guys see things we need to tweak, please send the info to wood@footballguys.comThanks.
Yes, concur, and absolutely.Good Idea. Well Executed.
Tight.
Thanks leadership/ownership/battleship.
That's great!
Thanks David
The score was certainly subjective. Ultimately I created the list of free agents and debated between ranking them by position [i.e., 1s through 5s at each position] versus ranking them 1 through 5 in the grand scheme of things.For example, I would contend that no FB is worth more than 3 TOPS. Whereas most QBs, particularly if they're starters or backups vying for the job, should be no less than a 3.
Semi real time?In other words, several of us are keeping it updated as soon as we're aware of a signing but there are the inevitable times when we all may be away from a computer and/or a smaller signing slips by.Very nice.
Me likey.
How often is this updated? Once a day, week, real time?
Hey OC...we toyed with adding that, and maybe next year. But the truth is, for timeliness purposes, many of the contract terms aren't listed and it would've been a case of a great many signings being TBD. Furthermore, the links should include contract terms particularly for the higher profile signings.
It's an interesting approach although I would caution against it because the scoring rankings weren't done scientifically enough to really be true apples to apple of every player, by position.
As long as we keep in mind that we're talking about extremely rough estimates, I think this is a very interesting way to get a quick read on who might be improved next year.However, it looks like you've got some accounting issues. For instance, in looking at Detroit, you seem to have counted the re-signs in the plus column but not in the minus column. Shawn Bryson, for instance, was with Detroit last year and will be with them this year too. So that should be a net zero (unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do). But you're counting it as a net positive.
You are correct, players resigned were considered a positive, not a nuetral. It was basically a quick 10 second excel job that I assumed would have some errors.Going with your idea would be the next step. Unless someone else gets to it first, when I find time I'll clean it up in a way to show that.
Hey Jason, nice work BTW. NFLPA lists contracts eventually. So if you consider a team like the Chiefs that doesn't release details, just wait and they'll list it. I'm confident USAToday gets their info their too.Hey OC...we toyed with adding that, and maybe next year. But the truth is, for timeliness purposes, many of the contract terms aren't listed and it would've been a case of a great many signings being TBD.

Thanks for the feedback though, now that we've got this applet built, we'll continue to tweak it in future iterations for sure.
Yes, cool idea. Another step might be to do it separately for offense and defense. (That'd help with people's projections.)
Hi Sham,Done. You can just click on "team" at the top of the collumn and it'll sort by team. The other collums are all sortable as well.
Good suggestion. I've already slacked off enough at work today (good thing it's Friday), and should try to get something done. I'll have to look into this as a weekend project. The more I think about this feature/tool and the possibilites of different ways to use it, the more intrigued I get.
Just bumping my question since it looks like some of the admins are checking in here now and it may have been lost earlier.In my contract league we get salary cap relief for dropping a player that retired (as opposed to dropping active players). I had Azumah and was able to get the relief for him, but I dropped Dat Nguyen before he announced. Some of these retirements seem to be under the radar so I think it would be cool if they were tracked like these free agency moves.
