We're lifelong football fans and fantasy football addicts who always wanted more than another mock draft. We wanted to know what it actually feels like to run an NFL franchise. So, as a small independent team, we built the simulator we couldn't find anywhere else. One that puts you in the General Manager's chair and challenges every decision you make from the first day of the offseason until the final roster is set.
Most simulators ask one question: Who should you draft? We ask a much tougher one: How good of a General Manager are you? Every move is connected. You're graded on re-signings, contract restructures, free agency, trades, draft performance, salary cap management, roster construction, and long-term planning. Teams have their own identities, players negotiate based on what they actually care about, free agency becomes a bidding war, and the salary cap works the way it does in the real NFL. Every contract, every trade, and every draft pick can change the direction of your franchise.
If you think you can build a contender, manage the cap, outsmart 31 other front offices, and earn an A as a General Manager, you're in the right place. There are no shortcuts here, no guaranteed championships, and no easy decisions. Just football, strategy, and the challenge every fan has dreamed about: proving you have what it takes to run an NFL team.
