It was time for the Liberty to rebuild. Everyone knew it in Philadelphia, and while the events that led to it were a bit frustrating the team was about to collapse. The team was built on inactives and while good inactives can lead to success, like it did with the Liberty Ultimus victory in season 7, it does not make for good long-term success and we were at the end of the line. The team was about to regress hard, with only a few actives left on board the team was going to get hit hard and most players would have hit their peaks, so the team did what was best and traded anything they could for picks to commit to the rebuild. They also saw Tyler Oles retire, which means they are fully committed to the rebuild now as their QB play is about to drop a few levels. Oles was a top QB, and with the team around him slowly degrading and his retirement shortly after, the Liberty are left looking at a new wave of talent, looking for a successful draft like season 2, the one where they built the team from the ground up and creating the foundation for the team that won it all.

The Liberty have already begun the rebuild, and while it may have been a tad early, it was looking like the time do it was coming soon. The Liberty were a very strong team but were built on a large core of inactives, especially on the defensive side of the ball. With offensive powerhouse players like Oles, Dimirio, and North carrying them to a championship they were still able to find a lot of success for several seasons but as players like Garden hit regression they were going to be slowing down on offense. So the Liberty began the rebuild and traded away a significant amount of assets to several teams that were looking to compete this season. In return they got a good amount of draft picks that they are hoping can nab them a few solid actives on both sides of the ball to make another championship run in a couple of seasons. Here are a few things the Liberty need to target.
1) Quarterback: Oles is retired. The Liberty need their new signal caller either this season or next season. Thankfully for them these are strong QB classes.
2) Wide receiver: Carter Bush is a good start but you need to have a WR and a QB peaking at the same time to help you win. Get a good young WR for your new QB.
3) Anything on defense: Safety, corner, linebacker, lineman....you name it the Liberty need it. Pick best player available and find a way to build your scheme around them.

I'm not really familiar with the current state of the league so I can only look at the current results and draw conclusions from there. The most obvious team that is struggling and that needs to make moves is the San Jose Sabercats. It's not just about the losses; it's mostly about the way they are losing. Sometimes you lose but there is something positive to see in those losses. There is very little of that for San Jose. The Cats have just been getting worse as the season progressed, scoring just 3 points in each of their last three games. It might be attributable to the fact that other teams are getting better, with their players training regularly, while the amount of guys that train on the Sabercats' roster is very limited.
Their rookie quarterback could be very good but he doesn't have a lot going on around him so his inexperience really shows. Ben Horne is the other good rookie they had coming up this season but the rest isn't that impressive. DJ Riddick and Mark David probably wouldn't have a spot on any other roster at their level.
With the limited amount of talent coming to the league every season, it's difficult to see the Cats being competitive any time soon. If they can find a way to build around Brad Pennington, well, who knows what might happen.
idk wat I'm talking about lel

NOLA should probably start rebuilding. The hype and success has starting to become far too much for my feeble and pathetically small self esteem to handle. Things were much easier when we sucked. Hardly had to do any testing because we only had 20% chance to win any given game anyways. Didn't have to try and nurture an active LR because everybody was IA. Those were the days. The days where I could tell myself I was in a position of power but didn't actually have any real responsibility. And isn't that pretty much everybody's dream? To have power without the responsibility? Well, that's what I had. And it was awesome. But now we've got all this hype and this outrageously active LR and, worst of all, I'm the one responsible for all of it. Now people actually expect NOLA to be good and win games and that means I actually have a responsibility to make it happen. I didn't join this site and become GM of a trash-tier team for responsibility I did it to satisfy my lust for power. We should blow the whole thing up so that I don't have any responsibility anymore.
JK everyone except NOLA should go rebuild right now please thank you

Verso L'Alto pulled into the Baltimore Hawks training facility early Tuesday morning to find the parking lot already full. All of the Hawks management were already there. "Was there a meeting that I had forgotten about?" he thought to himself as he threw his vintage Mustang fastback into park. Inside, Hawks management were in a frenzy about something. Phones were ringing off the hook and assistants were a blur of activity. It was some time before L'Alto was able to piece together what had happened--both general managers for their division rivals, the Philadelphia Liberty, had stepped down and their replacement was selling off the team. It was clear that the Hawks management was looking to cash in as best as they could while the selling price was low. At the end of the day, the Hawks were able to walk away from the negotiating table happy with their haul: one of the best safeties in the league and a young cornerback in exchange for an aging safety and a couple of deep picks. These, in theory, would help the Hawks tremendously to add much-needed depth to the defense. L'Alto himself was happy as he was able to help his agent, Epictitus Milburn, cash in on the firesale with a quality send-down to the Tijuana Luchadores in Omar Wrong.

The Philadelphia Liberty are making a very bold move, and may actually be attempting the most aggressive rebuild in the history of the NSFL. Beginning with the trade of Eli Kamaka, the Liberty have since followed up by trading away Paul DiMirio, Godfrey King, Vikain Marmeladov, Clifford Rove, Damien Kroetch, and Micah Hendrix. We’ve seen fire sales before, most notably in Colorado, but there are some very noteworthy differences. First off, Philadephia did not gamble on late round picks that won’t even be present. Second, they didn’t try to grab inactives to maintain some semblance of competitiveness. And why should they? The only actives on the team are the GM and a player who has already announced retirement. Who would they be trying to impress? By loading up on mainly valuable draft picks, Philadelphia has ensured something of an advantage on Baltimore and Yellowknife by as soon as S11, and they will be in the playoffs by S12. With their strategy, they can spend S9 paying big money to their new players, frontloading contracts as their draftees spend time in the DSFL and gain an advantage with max gear. They will likely be starting bots, but why not? In two years, a wave of wealthy, active players will be leading to the team to dominance.
