Front office operating manual

Take over the roster.
Own every decision.

Football GM starts with the current league, then puts the consequential work on your desk: who stays, where the cap moves, which free agents fit, and how seven rounds change the depth chart.

01—04

The season flow

One roster, four connected rooms

  1. 01

    Current roster

    Read the full depth chart, contract shape, coaching staff, and team-level cap position before making a move.

  2. 02

    Cap decisions

    Cut or restructure players and see the transaction hit the working cap sheet immediately.

  3. 03

    Free agency

    Set years and annual value, work within the cap, and fill needs without losing track of the roster you inherited.

  4. 04

    Draft room

    Run one round or all seven against the scheduled order, with a real-player board and a complete pick log.

GM / BRIEF

Division of responsibility

The model keeps the ledger. You set the plan.

What the model knows

  • Current team rosters and contract context
  • Cap impact of cuts, restructures, and signings
  • Team needs, draft order, and available prospects
  • Your transaction history through the offseason

What you control

  • Which franchise and roster problems to inherit
  • How aggressive to be with money and term
  • When value matters more than positional need
  • The final roster you carry into the season
