NFL-only · frozen 2022 market

Build the roster the cap can afford.

Shop real contract APYs, sign twelve starters, and keep the payroll under $208.2M. Every contract buys a real 2021 or 2022 season; when the board is full, that team has to play the schedule.

What the money means

This first board is intentionally historical and versioned: a 2022 contract market against the NFL's 2022 $208.2M league cap. The cost shown is contract APY—average annual value—not cash paid that season and not the player's cap hit. Contract facts come from the nflverse contract dataset; the cap comes from NFL Football Operations.

How a run works

The board opens one position market at a time. Search the names, sort the APYs, inspect the real season sheet, and sign one player. Your payroll updates immediately. Fill QB, RB, WR, TE, two offensive flexes, five defensive positions and a defensive flex. Then the same season engine behind Classic Draft turns the roster into a complete record and a shareable team receipt.
