We are only a few weeks out from the draft, I have yet to really comment on anything, so I might as well make an article to say my expectations about teams that are looking to draft me. You know my demands for your team for the teams that have reached out.

[div align=\\\"center\\\"]DRAFT EXPECTATIONS![/div]

1: I am a bit lower in TPE because of the fact I created at the draft. I was late in recreating, so this is why my TPE is lower. I am doing all I can in terms of Point Tasks, but I am not going to ever be one of the top earners of the class. Let that be known.
2: My contract is going to be the main source of my income. I do not plan on getting a job here, so I will need larger contracts in order to support my weekly training. That likely also means little to no equipment depending on how much money I have to train.
3: I plan on signing short deals to maximize my opportunity. I really should not elaborate on this one.
4: I am willing to switch positions, but would rather not be a Safety or Cornerback. I also would expect that the team would pay for the switch. Honestly, I need my money for weekly training, so of course, that would always come in first.

Let's go through the teams and I will say what I like and what I don't like about them. Enjoy.

[div align=\\\"center\\\"]TEAM OVERVIEW![/div]

BAL

BALTIMORE HAWKS BAL

I do not really know a ton about the Hawks other than really hating them before from my time with San Jose and New Orleans. They have some guys I am familiar with including Pigsnout and Turner. I think they could probably use a Linebacker, so that would be nice that I could stay in my natural position. I do not know a ton about either of the General Managers either. I know Huskies (I am pretty sure) is from SBA, so that is pretty cool. I am not really sure about the other friend. It's an interesting location, probably wouldn't be the top of my list.

CHI

CHICAGO BUTCHERS CHI

I would be surprised if Chicago was looking to add me. Steelsound seems like a good person, but I do not know a ton about them. HEOB, Libertines, PersonMann, Jiggly, Stennett, and LGM are all people I am familiar with. I am also familiar with Adam2552, he gets his own sentence. They probably would need a LB, and I think Hockhertz and Bayley would make a pretty good team, but I wonder if they would be looking to get someone like me. Obviously, they are in a bit of cap trouble to offer me some big contracts to add to their trouble. Not sure I am a fit, but they would be intriguing based off the pair we could create at the LB level.

COL

COLORADO YETI COL

Nick Pierno says hello! Well, this team has a lot of people I am familiar with including Muford, Nuncc, sapp, jsteele, run_cmc, infinite, Frick, and PDX, so obviously, they will rank pretty high on my list. Gabagool and Berry getting old may make a spot for Bayley Jr in their lineup. I could be their future Mo Berry which obviously interests them. I am familiar with Frick because of drafting him on PBE, so they seem pretty cool. They seem to have some nice money to pay me too, so they would probably be a worthwhile team to play with, as long as Muford stays.

PHI

PHILADELPHIA LIBERTY PHI

I know very little about either of the General Managers. I am not sure I have had a chance to talk to either one, so I really do not know much enough to comment. They obviously have people that I have interacted with before, iamslm, leafs, diesel, jonny, numbers, and BWill, so that is pretty interesting. I feel like some of them may not be my biggest fan, could be a reason why I have yet to hear from them. They do have Stephens, Howyanow at LB, so it may not be a huge need for them, but I would be curious how I would fit into that locker room. I feel like I would not be welcomed by some of them, but who knows. Philly is probably not at the top of my list.

YKW

YELLOWKNIFE WRAITHS YKW

Again, these are two GMs that I really know very little about. I really cannot comment too much on anything about them. On the team, they have Paz, timeconsumer, mav, Tomen, PSanchez, and company, so it's people I have absolutely interacted with before. They do have Quaid, Virtanen at LB, so this would not be the biggest need on their team. I could see the fact that QB could be coming up on a need as Bigsby is in Season 14 and then Swift in Season 13. I could see some needs on offense, but who knows. They look to have a pretty stacked defense, so again, that may be why I have yet to hear from them. I have no idea about them, I am not sure where I would fit.

SAR

SARASOTA SAILFISH SAR

I know a little bit about them, not a ton about RainDelay or Frostbite, so I cannot comment much. I like their logo a little bit. I am not opposed to going to an expansion team and building from there, but it depends on who they bring in to their squad. I don't mind a rebuild, so that doesn't scare me, plus, they would have the money to pay me a lot!

ARI

ARIZONA OUTLAWS ARI

At least they changed their logo, well, let's see. I am familiar with DG, Moose, Opera, Shadowz, so it would be interesting. I think I would fit in pretty nicely with Galf Wilf in the center and they seem to need some really key positions. I am not familiar with either General Manager too, too much, so I cannot comment on that, really. I can see why they are 2-6 right now, they seem to need a lot of work to get back to contending. Interesting to see where I would be.

AUS

AUSTIN COPPERHEADS AUS

This is an intriguing team I had a bit of conversation with. They have a lot of people I am familiar with including tlk, Kyle, UpperNet, Mooty, JK, Dermot, Beaver, SD, WBF, so it'll be interesting. I would definitely be known by a lot of people in there and fit. Now, they have some people in there I probably don't gel with all too well. I am familiar with Mooty and enjoyed him from GSL, JK I have had experiences with when I was GM of NOLA. I love their banner with Adam Cole on the banner, and they are definitely a successful team. I probably would be the 3rd best LB on the team, so probably have to change positions as well. It's a team I would have to talk to a little more to probably. Everyone seems jazzed about them, I love their logo, I would love to know where I'd fit more.

NOLA

NEW ORLEANS SECOND LINE NOLA

Do I really need to answer this? Obviously, I am familiar with most of this team including Alex, Payton, Ben, Bex, Jay, KC15, Cal, Juosu, Toivo, and of course it is always close to my heart. I hated having to pick between NOLA and SJS with Bayley for where to put my jersey. Now, Slothface, Bode, and Arianiacher are all LB, so I would need to switch positions to something else. I am not sure where that would be, so I obviously have a bias towards NOLA from my time there. I just love NOLA, so they make the list. I am not sure what I would have to switch to, so I'd love to know more about that before the draft.

OCO

ORANGE COUNTY OTTERS OCO

I am familiar with a few of these guys on the team. It's also weird seeing Sweetwater on the Otters. I am familiar with Sweet, Siddhus, Spec, Daybe, Wozy, Blaze, and Rabid. Of course, from my time with NOLA and SJS, there has always been a rivalry with the Otters. I do not know a ton about their GMs, but they seem to need a LB as Grievous is a S15, so he is kinda old. They may need a LB, so I may fit right in. I think they are an interesting team. I have yet to hear from them.

SJS

SAN JOSE DERPCATS SJS

What can I say here? AW13, Gooner, CK, and Mav as well as my corpse on the team. They are my top destination. I would love to play in San Jose, no question about it.

HON

Honolulu Hahalua HON

I can talk to a little of the GMs. I am a big fan of both of the GMs, so they would be a fun place to play. I am not sure how the players will shake out, but I am not opposed to a rebuild. See above.
