Bison Pre-Draft Storylines
Bison release DE Joseph Snyder
12th Year Defensive End Joseph Snyder was released by the Bison. Snyder projected as the #4 end on the pre-draft roster. "Snyder spent his career with this franchise, being drafted when we were still in Saskatchewan, moving briefly to KC, and then starting our years in Oklahoma City, laying a great foundation," said Bison owner/GM freebundy. Snyder totaled 44 sacks while with the franchise, including 15 as a Bison. His season-best mark came in the first year in Oklahoma City, as Snyder made 9 sacks. He appeared in 177 games for the franchise, appearing in 92 straight to start his career. "Injuries held him back the last two years, and age has finally caught up to him."
Bison stadium deal has major effects
In 2035, when the Bison moved to Oklahoma City, they signed a 5-year lease with the city to convert an old, abandoned high school field into a temporary home. The field was originally designed to hold 2500, saw major renovations, kicking the capacity up to 40,000. But the Bison are a professional franchise, and want to be able to host major events, like the league championship, the NCAA basketball finals, and potentially the Olympics. In 2035, the team moved to Oklahoma City, with the promise that the city would be open to funding a stadium within the next 5 seasons. Three seasons have since past, with no stadium resolution. A new stadium would need to be started immediately to be ready for the 2040 regular season opener, and the Oklahoma City taxpayers, represented by their local government, have made no committment to funding the new stadium. The Bison have plans for a $2.2 billion dollar stadium in Oklahoma City, a proposed retractable-roofed field that would seat 75,000, have room for additions to host up to 130,000, and would be centered between Oklahoma State and Oklahoma City Universities. The owner would be responsible for around $340M, the city $100M in available funds, season tickets over the first five years $250M, the state $380M, available grants $250M, and $150M from the league, leaving the Oklahoma City taxpayers with about $438M and the state taxpayers $292M. The Bison would also pay back the $100M in stadium funds over 20 years, would pay the states funds back up to $10M per year over 25 years, and would work with local colleges to place students as interns with the team.
Because of the city's seemingly lost appeal, the Bison have started to look elsewhere for a stadium. Originally, the cities of Milwaukee (WI), Atlanta (GA), Nashville (TN), and San Antonio (TX) were considered in 2035. Milwaukee has shown the most interest, with three different stadium proposals. The first plan, the most promising one, would demolish Miller Park, the longtime home of the baseball team Brewers. The Brewers would be responsible for raising half of the funds, and they are very interested. The cost of the shared stadium would total around $1.9B, as the roof would only be partially retractable. Unfortunately for the Bison, the league only chips in $50M in event of a relocation, leaving the Bison at about a $60M shortfall on their half. The State of Wisconsin has said it's not open to contriubuting to the stadium, while the city of Milwaukee has hit harder times, leaving their input as a miniscule amount. The Brewers side of the funding is much further away from completion, as they've only been able to account for $400M of their $950M share.
The second and third Milwaukee plans are currently out of reach financially. "The Mitchell Park Project" would place the Bison between Miller Park and Marquette University. The "Veterans Park/Lake Michigan Project" would place the Bison between the Milwaukee River and Veterans Park.
Atlanta has backed out of the race for a franchise, and Nashville isn't exactly sold on a franchise, either. San Antonio is putting together a plan that would have the Bison purchase the Willow Springs Golf Course, placing them near the home of the San Antonio Spurs.
Bison owner/GM freebundy declined to comment on the story, saying he's more focused on the offseason moves.
2038 Draft agency
The Bison hired an agency for draft scouting for the second time in their four years. The 2035 draft yielded Oscar Yoshiyama and Julian Schiaffino, both players who might finally be able to crack the starting lineup in 2038. Freebundy scouted in 2036 and 2037, coming away with twelve players currently on the Bison roster. He was busy negotiating a stadium deal in 2037, and an agency will again decide the future players of the Bison.
Former Bison retirees
2036 draft selection DE Max Juliusson has decided to hang it up. Juliusson played 51 snaps over 12 games during his rookie season, before being released at the start of the 2037 league year.
Bison sign 3
The Bison made three pre-draft signings, adding TE Burton Stamper and FB John Wiskowski as potential H-Backs, and signing 9th year pro Charles Sietz, a guard who won a championship with Ft. Lauderdale last season. Sietz spent the last 4 years in Ft. Lauderdale, and allowed no sacks and earned a 9.2 run blocking grade in the playoffs.
Bison release Mcalister
With the signing of Charles Sietz, Geoffrey Mcalister was finally made expendable. Mcalister, who was projected to be the 4th left tackle, or the 9th option at guard, played in 45 games with the Bison, allowing just 3 sacks over 644 pass attempts, a 0.4% sack average. Mcalister also racked up 81 Rblk in his time with the Bison. Releasing the 6th year lineman saves $730k on the salary cap this season.
LB Matthew Edwards takes salary cut
Matthew Edwards, currently the 4th option at outside linebacker, was originally scheduled to make $11.835M this season. Edwards recorded 70 tackles and a sack in 2037 with the Bison, but the 10th year linebacker wanted to do everything possible to remain with the team. After adding his bonus to the dead hit, the Bison now have $5.405M in dead money, but Edwards contract comes down to $2M on the season.
RB Gerald Mccarthy signs extension
Entering a contract year, Gerald Mccarthy was re-signed to a deal with a 2 year extension. His cap hit (including renegotiated dead money) for 2038 comes to $7.155M (as opposed to $7.345M , but it drops to $4.83M in 2039, and $5.235M in 2040.

The Bison fell in Week 16, finishing with a 7-9 record, and the 14th pick in the upcoming draft. The Ft. Lauderdale Fluties defeated the Toronto Tiger Cats in the Championship Game, 20-17. The Bison finished with one Pro Bowler, rookie LB Henry Ballesteros. TE Alan Isbell missed out on his second Pro Bowl by one fame point.
The 2038 season will be different. Bison owner freebundy said being sub-par is unacceptable, and he will bring in camp competition at as many positions as possible.

The Bison, now eliminated from playoff contention, decided to make a few key changes to their lineup.

Week 14 Recap Ft. Lauderdale Fluties (10-3) at Oklahoma City Bison (7-6)
The Bison and Fluties have met three times over the last two seasons, with their meeting prior to this one resulting in the Bison being knocked out of the 2036 Playoffs. Unfortunately for the Bison, that playoff meeting last January was a much better game. Bret Marquez just wasn't on his game in a contest the Bison needed desperately for their playoff hopes. Marquez finished just 12/29 for 130 yards, a TD, and a pick, and took 6 sacks. Gerald Mccarthy only added 45 yards on 15 carries, and over the last games, has averaged just 2.60 yards per carry over 30 carries. Norman Bennett was the only Bison receiver to top 25 yards, with 78 on 5 grabs. Alan Isbell added 22 on 2. Steven Green's lone catch was a 10 yard touchdown. Larry Delacruz led with 9 tackles, and David Rumbley had 7, seeing rare time as a free safety in place of injured Christopher Silverman. (Silverman is expected to miss the rest of the regular season for sure, and may be back as soon as the Divisional Round of the 2037 playoffs.) Luis Spratte had the lone Bison sack. Justin Mcdaniel had his 4th interception of the season, and Billie Devor added 12 GCOV.
For the Fluties, Billy Hoffman finished 27/44 for 305 and 2TDs, RB Joseph Anderson had 11 carries for 73 yards, Richard Brown and Lincoln Skelton combined for 12 carries, 68 yards, and 2TDs, and WR Clarence Cronin had 10 grabs for 122 yards and a touchdown. DT Johnny Lee added 4 sacks.
Starting Bison guard Frank Jones had now allowed 17 sacks, and though he has an 8.4 Grade as a run blocker, he'll be benched the rest of the regular season for Oscar Yoshiyama. In fact, the Bison have activated reserve lineman Julian Schiaffino in his place.
