Trainning camp sensations

Great surprises

RB K. Giles (+3/+3) After a bad year former FOY win something at TC and we trust in him in 2028 to develop and see what happens next year

WR W. Gollalic (+12/+2) Our special teamer show in camp that He can also caught the ball and creep into the line-up!

WR D. Carman (+7/+4) In the search of a another WR threat Carman show his value creeping hard in the TC, maybe we find the partner of dance who N. Howe is searching!

DE A. McElreath (+5/+2) Still growing and will be a great contributor from the sideline

CB L. Holliday (+5/+5) Awesome progression by our stelar 1st rounder the last year, now he´s sitted in 88/88 one of the better CB in the league! Holliday Island, the WR who face him will take a great bath in the shore because he will not grab anything!!

FS L. Grant (+3/+2) Our decent projected un-drafted FA and if the injuries allow him to stay in the roster he maybe be a good back-up option sooner than later.

Getting older

RB C. Jeffords (-6/-6) Like expected our stelar trade grab his first age hit and He´ll be serviciable this year.

OG S. Hernandez (-6/-6) Our monster guard don´t run, block and push like the last year, but he still in 79/79 and is our paving grounder!!

CB J. Rainwater (-3/-3) The prodigy son now will be our 4th option at DB after dropping something, his knees have arthrosis or something in his 10th year...

Ey dude! Search another team!

WR Q. Sutton & WR X. Woodson, anyone creep in camp and we don´t count nothing on they

T T. Loving (+4/-5) Well no search another team, but you´re a dropper, lLike expected He´ll drop year after year, wasted 1st rounder, but he´ll be better than our option, and for at least couple of years He´ll be on your team

DT H. Perkins (+1/-6) We expect great things from him the last two years but his creep was cutted miserabily and reach his potential in 40/40... Unserviciable at this level

CB H. Palumbo (-11/-11) Any hit expected from him with his low Vol but seems that all the summer he was touching his balls and will be cutted... Good bye man

FS E. Talley (+6/0) After a good sensations in the last year and summer dance in the solecismic Talley cuts his growing and is in the roster bubble right now

CB H. Palumbo (-11/-11) Any hit expected from him with his low Vol but seems that all the summer he was touching his balls and will be cutted... Good bye man

[Guest]

Damn 3rd rounder wasted...

Don't sweat it, I waste 3rd rounders every year, including this year. :)

[Sharkn20]

Don't sweat it, I waste 3rd rounders every year, including this year. :)

Cool man, I feel better with it....

[Sharkn20]

FB L. Marshall 22/48 --> Another good prospect un-drafted free agent who show his value in a private Work-out with the Sharks, see if this Idolized player count something under the radar and help creeper Middleton to share the open-lane duties with his awesome 62 of Blocking strength...

[Sharkn20]

Resignings

QB M. Peterson 28/49 --> Resigned for 2 years to try to find a place or be our back-up, 1.92 Millions more for him.

QB S. Kinney 23/35 --> Will hold the ball for the Kicks for 2 more years for only 2.18 Millions, excelent Holder and don´t want to miss him never.

RB W. Cleghorn 44/44 --> 2 More years for our leader, and still some fuel inside to run and catch the football a bit. 5.25 Millions for him!

OLB K. Woods 53/53 --> Earns his new contract with his volatility hit and will be with us 4 more years per 17.64 Millions

CB Jared Cuevas 47/47 6th Year --> Traded from Utah this off-season and I want that he can stay with us during the next three years, only for 5.25 Millions, so is a good fit for both!! See if he can earn the starting role also!

CB Jamal Heise 35/35 th Year --> Our leader, just trying to give stability at our poor DBs team, 2 more years 2.72 Millions

SS Casey Perkins 43/43 5th Year --> Not the type of stud that you want in your tipe, but he´s serviciable and be a good replacement meanwhile our star at SS arrive to Ohio, 5 more years just 13.43 Millions

K Vince DeNeff 58/58 10th Year --> Want to have a consistent Kicker until our young legs develops. 3 More Years 8.37 Millions, I want that he can retire as a Shark!

[Sharkn20]

QB Walter Andrews traded to New Orleans

After more of a disapointing start of the season despite the great team that we have in our hand, the rookie Head Coach can´t stablish a solid ground game to leave pressure on Andrews and He is very upset and angry with him.

"I´m here during years and despite the affinity with Cleghorn and my new rookie´s weapons I can´t been here for more time, Sedrick Hernandez and the new Coach make me feel sick"

"I need a new home, new opportunity to start and I deserve to be traded"

After that low start and with Andrews upset, the best thing for the Sharks is part ways with him, the all-start MVP QB have a lot fuel in his tank, and now that he has plenty of his value, I think that the best way to re-build is start with four 1st Rounds in the next two Drafts, I´m seeing a lot College football and there is a trio of QBs that will be high in that two Drafts, we can push and find the next all-time QB, with the evolution of our Head Coach will be another dinasty here in Ohio in a Play-off contention an AC East top.
We have plenty to offer due our younger rising stars and veterans playing in his prime.

Michael Peterson is ready to take the reins of the offense and has the talent to run a quick-rythm-short-pass offense that I´m trying to implant here

[Sharkn20]

Biggest FA Bust in the history of the Sharks has been released

Thanks to the cap space that the departure of Walter Andrews produces, Mo Shapiro aknowledge which the surname of "Shark-money-eater" was invited to the the Free Agency from now... Any team want to have him in their files??

We will loss a lot cap in the next year due to him also, but with no real worries keeping my stars under contract I can afford it and be in 2030 free of charges!!

Good bye man!! Enjoy my money!

[Sharkn20]

Recent Signings

QB Antonio Woodward 43/43 6th Year --> After he was traded to STP in 2026 and played for KAL and PHO, Woodward returned to Ohio this week to cover the back-up duties of Michael Peterson and in case of emergency or absolute colapse took the reins of a quick rythm scrambling QBs offense.

RB Kendrick Rose 22/22 12th Year --> Special Teams ace, former All-League 2nd Team RB with SFO, who played for only good teams in his ternure, now is time to focus in the other side of the football and put in our ST more potential.

CB Jake Devine 38/38 6th Year --> When Vinny Rose hurts his knee against Kalispel inmediatly the general manager call him, to cover the Dime CB spot and the back-up dutties of Jared Cuevas. Slot guy who can play in the box.


Recent Releases

K Scottie Hawkins 12/15 Rookie --> After be +2/+2 in TC and make a very great pre-season, he makes the team despite his low ratings, now he´s on the FA due a full roster, I really have very interest in how one player can up-grade his ratings and his Top... And with him I can see that, the next year if the league allows me I will grab him in my roster again!

[Sharkn20]

DT Eugene Lynch trade was frustrated

After a strong push by the Sharks offering Mike a 1st Rounder in the next year in exchange of Lynch and 2nd rounder of Utah this year, Eugene Lynch will not come a Shark at least this year. We are really looking for this guy, but the best offer was lost in the last week of trade time (Maybe a fax problem like Dumervil?? )

We will see the rookies in the off-season and FA players before make another strong push for up-grade our Deffensive Tackle situation. Harvey Perkins 41/41 was a creeper in his first two years, but this year TC stops him roughly and now is only a complementary player. We are looking for some dominance at the position with O´Neal and Thomas playings excellent football in the outside.

[Sharkn20]

After a decent 2028 Year for the Sharks I´m going to re-mark three news which I really love in that game... The first is the past, the second records and third resume stats!!

2026 Draft Review

3 Years is enough to see the development of your players and how they was//will contribute to the franchise in the past//next years...

* Round 1 Pick 25 --> WR J.B. Erickson 35/45 --> 37/37
Now our current slot WR after drop year after year, he doesn´t seem to change nothing in his career, but I will keep him due his big ST contribution as a Ace with a 97 points... He will earn a good contract only to play for ST and 4th or 5th option at WR (I wish to have more options)

* Round 4 Pick 26 --> RB K. Giles 24/36 --> 35/35
His first year was a hughe upset for a lot managers named as a Freshman of the Year due his total scrimmage yards and touchdowns. Now he is our back-up RB and played solid as a starter in the last two games of the season with C. Jeffords down, he have one more year to show me that he is capable to load the running game or be a solid back-up

- Round 5 Pick 25 --> OLB P. Arbuckley 26/39 -> Fired

* Round 6 Pick 9 ---> DT H. Perkins 21/37 --> 41/41
After seemed like a big creeper who could be a solid option at DT position his progression stops this year and is only a Average back-up who just recorded 2 Sacks this year and a poor below 4% of PRP... I will think about him during the off-season but is expected to earn one more year to see his real potential

- Round 7 Pick ¿? --> CB T. Beyer 21/39 --> Fired

- Round 7 Pick ¿? --> ILB L. Hoover 15/40 --> Fired

Single-season records in Ohio´s history pulled!!

No Andrews?? No problem!! Neal howe write a new chapter in the history of the Ohio´s team (No matter Valley or Sharks) and was a huge part of our 9-7 WC fight without QB in this recently 2028...

96 Receptions // 160 targets, 1.595 Yards and 7 +100 Yards/game (all franchise single-season records) were his numbers and we expect that he will have another break-out season in 2029 with the addition of our next franchise QB.

In defense ILB Donald Graham (Mr. Everywhere) assisted in 39 tackles pulling a new record for the Ohio´s team.


Stats for the Ages

The last chapter in this news will be how WR Neal Howe (Yes, again) pulled all-time franchise stats in maybe all the options at WR, his #81 will be retired of the face of the franchise when he will gone...

* 559 Receptions // 979 Targets
* 8.877 Receiving yards
* 61 Receiving touchdowns
* 49 drops (Oh yes is bad, but only 5% in his way will be dropped and 57% will be pulled and 6.23% will travel to the house!!)
* 31 +100 Yards game

Awesome career by him just in his prime... 9th year for him in 2029, a lot fuel in the tank yet!!! Go Sharks!!!
