2002 Draft News

Thursday, August 8, 2002

2002 salaries and rosters are being released today. You can view updated rosters for every team using the links in the left menu. Every player has been awarded a salary with the exception of Tom Brady and Anthony Wright, who slipped through the cracks but will be awarded their salaries by Saturday.

Like last year, 2002 salaries are based on point-performance (within our league's scoring system) for the past three years of every player except defense. Last season is weighted 50%, while 2000 and 1999 are each 25%. Defenses are scored solely on last year's performance.

The most expensive player this year (excluding defenses) is Marshall Faulk at 145. All in all, There are 18 position players over the 100 mark – 9 QB, 3 RB, 0 REC, and 6 K. The basement price for position players is 40. Players who have missed considerably time due to injury will have much cheaper price tags as the weeks they missed translated into 0 production.

The current team salaries in order of most to least expensive are:

Anderson 1102
Machines 1081
N. Figs 1046
Sims 1046
Irwin 989
Pimps 968 (+ Anthony Wright)
Jody 958
P.W.O.P. 954
Thomas 919
Piana 859 (+ Tom Brady)

Pre-Draft Salary Cap: 800

You can cut or trade without penalty, but everyone MUST be at or under this cap by FRIDAY, AUGUST 16th. The Draft will likely begin Monday, August 19th, and it will last five rounds.

Season Salary Cap: 1000

You MUST be at or under this amount by midnight Wednesday, September 4th (the day before the first game).

There you have it; free agent lists will be composed and posted in the coming weeks. Please email concerns or questions about the new cap structure. If you think it's unfair and that Mark rigged it to benefit his team, please notice how the Brew Crew –amazingly– has the highest payroll and will have to shed 300 points.
