New theme league here. NFL29114. Basic requirements:

- You choose 1 NFL franchise exclusive to you out of the current 32 teams.
- 70 mil cap
- No clones
-You must use all decades available of your chosen franchise and distribute evenly per decade as much as possible to fill the 23 roster spots. This helps to break up the dynasty teams of certain decades. Its harder to find the right mix under this design. See distribution breakdown per amount of decades for your franchise.
-The AFL and AAFC are part of that history for your team.

You can post and claim your team here and we'll confirm the inventory available and roster distribution requirements as noted below.

A quick rundown: Browns are Browns. Ravens are Ravens. Raiders are Raiders. Colts are Colts. Chargers are Chargers. Commanders and Redskins are together. Dallas Texans are the KC Chiefs. Rams are Rams. Houston Oilers, Tennessee Oilers and Tennessee Titans are 1 nation. NY Jets and NY Titans are together. All Cardinals are Cardinals. No use of dual city teams of 1943-44 like the Steagles or teams that were not connected to today's 32 teams--Los Angeles Dons, Brooklyn Dodgers, Brooklyn Tigers, Buffalo Bisons, Miami Seahawks, Boston Yanks or NY Yanks or NY Yankees or NY Bulldogs

Distribution breakdown (You choose what decades get more or less):

9 decades total = 5 decades with 3 franchise reps AND 4 decades with 2 reps
8 decades = 7 decades with 3 franchise reps AND 1 decade with 2 reps
7 decades = 5 decades with 3 franchise reps AND 2 decades with 4 reps
6 decades = 5 decades with 4 franchise reps AND 1 decade with 3 reps
5 decades = 3 decades with 5 franchise reps AND 2 decades with 4 reps
4 decades = 3 decades with 6 franchise reps AND 1 decade with 5 reps
3 decades = 2 decades with 8 franchise reps AND 1 decade with 7 reps

Here is an example if someone were to select the Jets. Inventory includes NY Titans. 1960 to present.

roster is equally spread over 7 decades (as much as possible). We can confirm the roster distribution at the same time as the inventory confirmation.

2 decades have 4 players/units.
5 decades have 3 players/units.

Not in the WIS database. Sorry. But there are 32 other options available!

I will take the J-E-T-S off the Board. I know you all must be so sad to see them taken. Not a great inventory, but there is enough to make them pretty competitive. The roster posted above is not the final roster- just an example.

Claim your team! First timestamp gets the team exclusive to them.

Any of the great QBs are eligible on multiple teams that they played for. This is team exclusive- not player exclusive.

Peyton is Colts and Broncos eligible. Brady is Pats and Bucs eligible. Dickerson is Rams and Colts and Falcons.

of course, the season used on your roster can’t be on the other teams that you did not select as your franchise team.

The phones keep ringing about these teams:

-Miami Sharks led by Willie Beamen

-New Jersey Generals funded by businessman Donald Trump.

sorry folks. Neither team is listed in the WIS database.

All 32 NFL team options can put together a playoff team. I went through every team--they all have something really good to build around in terms of playing style and strategy. Some teams have endless options. But all teams have the same salary cap.

Who can make the money the most effective for their all-time team?!

League is public. Post to claim a team before your favorite is taken.

Quick check on the split between all the decades equally - if I took a team that goes back to the 40s, that would give me 9 decades to choose from for 23 slots. So would I be right in saying I would need each decade to have at least two representatives and no more than 3? (23/9 =2.556)

Hi dan

great question. As close as you can to that average.

5 decades with 3 franchise reps
4 decades with 2 franchise reps

your choice on what decades get more or less.

Added this to assist the breakdown per amount of decades for your franchise:

Distribution breakdown (You choose what decades get more or less):

9 decades total = 5 decades with 3 franchise reps AND 4 decades with 2 reps
8 decades = 7 decades with 3 franchise reps AND 1 decade with 2 reps
7 decades = 5 decades with 3 franchise reps AND 2 decades with 4 reps
6 decades = 5 decades with 4 franchise reps AND 1 decade with 3 reps
5 decades = 3 decades with 5 franchise reps AND 2 decades with 4 reps
4 decades = 3 decades with 6 franchise reps AND 1 decade with 5 reps
3 decades = 2 decades with 8 franchise reps AND 1 decade with 7 reps

Also working on the franchise inventory available for each team. I will also post that momentarily. I was attempting to make things shorter on these league rules and details. Although these adds should be helpful.

Feel free to ask questions and/or claim a team here. League number is NFL29114. You can enter the team into the league and I'll cross check. We can use the forum here and sitemail if edits are needed.

I'll take the Miami Dolphins

I’ll take the Houston/ Tennessee Oilers/Titans

Copy on both claims! Dolphins and Oilers/TN Titans are off the board.
