This league has just begun! Because this is a new league, it will be a few days before the allocation draft begins (the countdown timer above shows when the first pick will fire). This is a great time to get a team as you will be able to build it from scratch! If you don't want to wait for the draft, though, check to see if there is a team in an established league that you can take over.

NOTE: As of the last sim, this league was under the minimum 20% capacity. Invite your friends to join MyFootballNow to keep this league alive! Then send them to this league to become the owner of a team! The league will expire at 8/01/2025 8:00 am.

My league includes teams with dead cap ranging from $4 million to $44 million. Is dead cap any indicator of the health of a franchise?

No. Just bad contracts. Without knowing details. Several things could have happened. Good and or bad. Previous owner cutting bad contracts to set up a good cap situation next season. Owner trading away players with large bonuses that accelerate cap hit just to name two.

Another common occurrence is an owner not renewing for another season, then the Ai takes over and signs an aging vet to a long term deal with a big bonus. When that vet retires 1 day later, the team (and new owner) are on the hook for the signing bonus.

$44M could come from only one of those deals.
