No trade option in Face Of Franchise

Why is there no option to ask for a trade or to sign with who you'd like? I'm a 99ovr and the Patriots don't want me even though they have Stidham at a 66ovr. WHY!? I don't like any of the other teams available

  • The Patriots just drafted Stidham in the 2019 NFL Draft, so perhaps their organization would like to see what that rookie has to offer. With your 99 Overall it sounds like you'll need a bigger contract too, so cap space may be playing a factor.

  • If you’re talking about the 2019 season, EA_Blueberry is exactly correct that it’s a cap restraint. Remember they still have Brady on the roster who’s probably at $20-$30M per year.

    I was drafted by the Bengals, where the O-line gave me less than a second to pass the ball. I demanded a release (because if you don’t win they cut you anyway). Simmed the remainder of the season. I noticed Brady retired after the season. The Pats were 1 of 7 teams to offer a contract: 7 years, $168M for my 85ovr QB. 

  • No matter what I do, what type of QB I am, or how bad I mess with their QB situation in a no salary cap career, the Patriots never offer
