Retired players

[Kai]

I just took over a team and have players on my team that are retired in real life. How does that end up working out? Do they finish the time left on their contracts?

[cdcox]

They count against your 53 roster limit, and don’t retain their ability from former seasons. Unless you are hoping for a Gronk-like return, you may as well cut them.

[Kai]

Damn really. So for example I have Marshall Yanda on my team to a 4 year deal. The last time he played in the NFL was in 2019. If I put him in my lineup that would just be hurting my team?

[Kevin]

Yeah, for all practical purposes he's useless. He'll never show up as available since availability is based on the previous season.

[Dbillblood]

You wont even be able to put him in the lineup

[Kevin]

I guess it's possible that he could grow a beard and inspire people from the sidelines like Eric Berry did, but I wouldn't count on that.

[Phog]

Yeah, he inspired people alright, but I'm not in a good way.
