I believe our offense won't even need to count on 50 yard field goals, but figuratively speaking, I just believe you have the talent to keep us in the game even if we need a hailmary field goal at the 60. That's all I was getting at. Considering the draft is almost over, I'll let you get back to your family as I finalize these last proceedings at the draft. Thank you Mr. Lawrence.

Call me Wendy, Mr. Lawrence is a dick. haha!

(GM Lucas laughs) No problem, See you at camp Wendy!

Ms Watson can you get me Stephen Leake on the phone. It's very important and it won't be long.
----

Mr. Leake I have a favor to ask and I am willing compensate you for interrupting your off season for business. I am currently trying to recruit a player you recently played with in the past and I would like to know first if you would accompany me to his house to vouch for what we have been doing here as far as building a competitive team. Second, how much would you want to accompany me on this venture if I decided to go that route.

Talon · « **Reply #1304 on:** January 14, 2018, 12:41:49 AM »

You don't have to pay me anything, I'll go with you.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1305 on:** January 14, 2018, 01:12:59 AM »

Thank you Mr. Leake, that gesture in itself has confirmed ten times over that you are the consummate professional and team player this team needs. Thank you.

Talon · « **Reply #1306 on:** January 14, 2018, 01:56:31 AM »

No problem.

Ms. Watson can you get me Agent Molina

--

Ms. Molina, how are you tonight. I call you for a unique request. Everything I do in Atlanta I want to do it with a clear conscious and with professionalism. Already having a few of your clients on the main roster I wanted to show you the respect and call you with a request. The corner back position is one this team has had some issues with thus why I drafted James and Eric. With also having Kenneth and your client Michael on board I look at stats from last year and your client seemed to have produced the least among the corner backs on the team. I don't want to release him because I believe given the opportunity in our minor league system he can really find his groove and work on his strengths and weaknesses to get back on the main roster. He does go past the required years limit and this is why I called you. I would like his permission to keep him on payroll, send him to our minor leagues and hopefully we can get him on track and back up sooner than later. Do I have his permission to to assign him to our minor league.

Talon · « **Reply #1308 on:** January 16, 2018, 01:25:46 AM »

With the way the cornerback market is right now, we'd rather be released.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1309 on:** January 16, 2018, 06:10:48 AM »

OK, I understand. Thank you.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1310 on:** January 16, 2018, 09:11:52 AM »

Ms. Watson can you please get me Agent Crane

---

Mr. Crane, good day. I am calling you out of respect and professional courtesy because I have a lot of your clients and we have done a ton of business together. I am calling you about your client Mr. Brinkman. As you know he was traded to Atlanta in that massive deal that sent Rose to Michigan and brought over Ash, Duckett and Flynn. All players whom I coveted to start and or get lots of playing time. Brinkman was added to the deal by GM Powers but plays in a position I already had plans for. With an already crowded defensive back field I don't see how he would get enough playing time to make an impact on this team. As you know with free agency booming and defensive backfield players being in high demand I wanted to let you know I plan to release Mr. Brinkman in order to give an opportunity to sign with another team.

Ms. Watson can you get me Agent Hester

---

Mr. Hester I call you about your client Mr. Dyers. Early on I put the franchise tag on him because I felt like it was worth to keep a quality kicker like Mr. Dyers and not have to worry about taking chances with other guys. When you asked for the 2 million in PR, I handed it to him because a kicker is the an invaluable asset to any successful team. Along the way we were able to get International Florida's top kicker in the draft which surprised me because he was someone I targeted when I was considering franchising your client. We also added K Kevin Fray to our Minors. Now it seems as if I jumped the gun a little to early on your client and now having 3 kickers on a roster does not seem equitable. I want to keep everything up front. I respect you and out of professionalism I make this call. Unfortunately to open up another roster spot and to free some cap space I have to release your client in time so he and yourself can benefit from free agency which is on it's way. I know he'll land on a team because upon signing him, many GM's told me it was a smart move. Again, I apologize for the nature of this call. I hope we can continue to do business.

Talon · « **Reply #1313 on:** January 17, 2018, 02:28:40 PM »

You use the franchise tag on my client, and now you just cut us loose.. man, you already building a reputation as a fool.. Deuces.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1314 on:** January 17, 2018, 05:29:48 PM »

You are right, I am, I have done some foolish things. All a learning experience that I will learn from.

Ms. Molina, I am looking to sign your client Andrew Craven for 2 years 1.5M per.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1315 on:** January 17, 2018, 06:57:59 PM »

I am also interested in bringing on RB Raymond Ellis for the same contract 2 years 1.5mp. Would bringing in the duo on those offers be feasible?

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1316 on:** January 17, 2018, 07:26:18 PM »

You know what agent Molina, I apologize, no disrespect to you or your clients. Let's talk one at a time so we can concentrate on each player individual. Let's talk about Craven first and as an apology, I'll raise my offer 3 years at 2M per

Talon · « **Reply #1317 on:** January 17, 2018, 08:46:34 PM »

Don't come to me with multiple offers in the same breath anymore, I'm not Costco.. but Ellis wills sign for 3 yrs 2MM.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1318 on:** January 17, 2018, 09:14:49 PM »

Great, thank you, I definitely won't try to duo anymore players. I'll send it in and call you back in a few to talk about Craven.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1319 on:** January 17, 2018, 09:36:14 PM »

Ms. Watson can you get me agent Molina once again,

So I already put in the paper work for Ellis and would like to talk about Andrew Craven, thinking 1year 2M

Talon · « **Reply #1320 on:** January 17, 2018, 10:32:53 PM »

DEAL

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1321 on:** January 17, 2018, 11:31:04 PM »

Great, I'll send it in.

Ms. Watson can you get me C Christopher Davis and T David Dell

----

Gentlemen, before we move forward acquiring anyone else, I would like to know what we already have. So if I may ask, which one of you two gentlemen have had time with the ball or has played or can play the fullback position. Mainly a blocking back and who knows, maybe your number gets called for a yard or two. We have an open position at fullback and I am more than willing to transition you and have you work out all off season at the fullback role.

Talon · « **Reply #1322 on:** January 18, 2018, 12:04:28 AM »

THE PAIR OF 283 and 329 POUND LINEMEN SHARE A LAUGH, REMEMBER THE DAYS THEY DREAMED OF BEING A RUNNING BACK OR QUARTERBACK, BACK IN THE DAYS BEFORE HAIR GREW ABOVE THEIR PACKAGES, BEFORE THEY EVER FOUND THEIR FATHERS PORN STASH HIDDEN IN THE SHED.. THEY LAUGH AND SNAP BACK TO REALITY AND LEAVE YOU WITHOUT A FULLBACK.. A SMALL SHEET OF PAPER FALLS FROM THE HEAVENS WITH THE LAST TWO FULLBACKS ON THE MARKET, BUT IT SLIPS OUT OF THE WINDOW BLOWING INTO THE WIND LIKE SO MUCH OF THE POTENTIAL THAT CAME WITH THIS JOB WHEN YOU WERE FIRST HIRED.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1323 on:** January 18, 2018, 12:31:00 AM »

It was worth a try, Ms.Watson can you get me agent Crain

Good evening, I am looking to sign your client TE Charles Martinez for 1 year at 250k

Talon · « **Reply #1324 on:** January 18, 2018, 01:57:24 AM »

I don't know a Charles Martinez... Where do you see his name?

Talon · « **Reply #1325 on:** January 18, 2018, 02:44:12 AM »

...Wait, did you mean my FULLBACK client, Charles Martinez?

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1326 on:** January 18, 2018, 06:08:27 AM »

Yes, your fullback client, forgive me. I want to sign a fullback, I don't know why I said tight end. I have two of those already. I don't have a fullback. I couldn't find my last sheet and thought all the fullbacks were gone and was cringing at the fact I might have to ask a TE to play fullback so my thoughts got crossed with my words. Apologies. I would like to sign your client FB Charles Martinez for 1 year at 500k per

Talon · « **Reply #1327 on:** January 18, 2018, 11:02:56 AM »

Certainly. We'll sign.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1328 on:** January 18, 2018, 11:43:34 AM »

Wonderful. I'll send it in.

Ms. Watson can you get me agent Leventhal

Mr. Leventhal, pleasure to see you, if my info is correct your client QB Louis Alicea is still available and I would like to make him an offer for 2 years 500K

Talon · « **Reply #1329 on:** January 18, 2018, 01:16:28 PM »

We'd sign on for 2 years at 2.5MM

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1330 on:** January 18, 2018, 01:55:33 PM »

A bit more than what I was expecting but I know I can count on any player that has you as their agent. I agree to your terms. Thank Mr. Leventhal

Ms. Watson can you get me Bobby Shapiro

---

Mr. Shapiro, I am calling out of respect for you and your client. I believe in being professional in both the positive and negative side of this business. Unfortunately this call is on the more negative side of the business. With already three tackles on on the roster I don't see how your client David Dell gets any playing time this year. To be fair I am going to release him while free agency is still booming and hopefully he can catch on with another team.

Talon · « **Reply #1332 on:** January 18, 2018, 07:35:20 PM »

You're garbage. You move my guy to the minor league, then cut him... why? Because he won't become a fullback for you?

Screw you.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1333 on:** January 18, 2018, 08:56:13 PM »

Sorry you feel that way. Good evening.

Ms.Watson can you get me agent Ames

Mr. Ames, I am interested in signing your client SS Gene Jasper to our minor league affiliate, I'm thinking 3 years 500k

Talon · « **Reply #1334 on:** January 18, 2018, 09:03:07 PM »

No thanks, we're fine.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1335 on:** January 18, 2018, 09:39:43 PM »

Can I ask, is it the money or does he want to be on the main roster?

Talon · « **Reply #1336 on:** January 18, 2018, 10:01:18 PM »

Both.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1337 on:** January 18, 2018, 10:27:20 PM »

Understood. Once all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed and the economic dust settles. I'll ahve a better gauge of what we have left and hopefully we can revisit this offer with a more acceptable deal at hand.

Good evening Mr.Rosenhaus, I am interested in signing your client Justin Weaver for 2 years 500k per to start.

Tell me more.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1340 on:** January 18, 2018, 10:52:13 PM »

Ok....2 years at 1M per, sound good?

Talon · « **Reply #1341 on:** January 18, 2018, 10:54:00 PM »

Oh wow, I just meant to explain your vision for him and your team.. but if you want to keep raising the price too, I mean I've got all night.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1342 on:** January 18, 2018, 11:39:25 PM »

Well, I know you are trying to do the best for your client, I assumed as his agent you wanted a raise. We'll keep where it where it is now and I plan to make him a permanent fixture on the main roster. We'll get him returning kicks and punts and having him contribute in different ways.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1343 on:** January 18, 2018, 11:49:27 PM »

Mr. Rosenhaus seems like the news on my ticker just popped up on my phone, seems like you had some offers on the table from other teams and one was just put it in not to long ago. I wish Justin the best. Thanks for entertaining my offer.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1344 on:** January 19, 2018, 06:54:36 AM »

Ms Watson, we are done with free agency. Before I start finalizing deals, talking to coaches and working on PR and then finally locking in can I get an update on our economics. My paper work says we have about 3M in cash and 1.5 in Pr left going into the off season workouts?

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1345 on:** January 19, 2018, 07:55:05 AM »

You know what Ms. Watson, I don't even need to know exact figures at the moment. I know you are extremely busy with contracts, stadium legalities and other items of importance. I also know we are 1 over the roster max which I am going to fix soon. I just want to make sure we are still under the cash and PR cap.

Talon · « **Reply #1346 on:** January 19, 2018, 09:29:37 AM »

With 41 players on the main roster we have 1.5MM in salary, 3.75MM in PR.

7 of 10 Minor League slots filled, and 3.5MM remaining in minor league money. Those 3 remaining spots are optional, we do not have to fill them if we don't want to.

GM Lucas · « **Reply #1347 on:** January 19, 2018, 10:14:49 AM »

Thank you, I don't know what I would do without you. So besides moving things around I'm not adding any more players at the moment. I'll handle the economics from here so you can concentrate on more important things.

Talon · « **Reply #1348 on:** January 19, 2018, 02:49:35 PM »

Sounds good. Let me know if you need anything else.

Ms Watson can you get me coach Munoz please.

Coach, about to finalize things. Before I do I wanted to get your take on captains. We have a lot of new faces and a nice group of talented players with amazing potential. Any thoughts on who you think would make solid captains.
