BFA TRADE - BARRETT TO SOUTH YORKSHIRE

-

 


Yesterday afternoon the Glasgow Claymores agreed a trade with the South Yorkshire Jaguars for linebacker Shaq Barrett.

The Claymores are looking to go one better than just reaching a Bowl this year, they want to win it, whereas the Jaguars are rebuilding after a difficult season.

The Jaguars received Shaq Barrett and sent their 13th round draft pick to the Claymores. To make room for Barrett the Jaguars released Mack Wilson.

The Claymores GM, Gary, met with the press soon after the trade was confirmed.

"Delighted to get a deal done for Shaq. I was concerned my lack of experience was going to catch up with me when I initially brought Shaq and Mike Evans to Glasgow. In hindsight this wasn't the best long term move." 

Gary was referring to the trade with Deal Broncos which saw Barrett move to the Claymores in exchange for Tremaine Edmunds and the Claymores 15th round pick.

"However, since being able to bring in Jaylon Smith in exchange for Evans last week and now a 13th for Shaq I feel I'm overall in a stronger net position as a result going into the draft."

Over at the South Yorkshire Jaguars, their GM Lee invited reporters into the Jags war room to discuss the deal.

"It was always my intention to keep Eric Wilson after an impressive 2020 season, but as hard as this is for me to admit, it seems the Vikings might know a little more than I do and they've prioritised Barr returning from injury and Wilson remains an unsigned free agent. If Barrett can return to double digit sack numbers, the 13th round compensation is a steal. Lots of upside for a mid-round pick.

The deal went through yesterday at midday.

THE BFFL CUP

-
Image
  A new competition, separate from the league structures for 2021. The brain-child of Dan (Charlton Valiants) and Chris (Jurassic Coast Jackrabbits). A WORD FROM THE ORGANISERS The BFFL Cup. 80 Teams. 0 Tiers. Giant Killing. It's A Knockout. The BFFL Cup was borne out of the idea of further building the community spirit of the BFFL; hopefully bringing about new rivalries, brother/sister-hoods and shared tactics. It's roots lie more in 'soccer' than NFL and the cup clearly takes its cues from the FA Cup in the UK. No longer will GM's have to wait two, three or four years of promotion in order to face their local rivals. Now, the luck of the draw is all that stands in the way. For the GM's it is a chance to win twice in a week, console themselves with a cup win after a league loss or, perish the thought, take a double-L and promptly oversee a complete franchise overhaul. The format is simply head-to-head and GM's won't be required to do anything in order t...

QUICK 10 WITH.....JURASSIC COAST JACKRABBITS

-
Image
The Jurassic Coast is a world heritage site, stretching from Exmouth to Studland Bay. The highest point is the Golden Cap between Bridport and Charmouth and charts an extraordinary look into the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. The Jackrabbits started life out as the Jurassic Coast Corsairs in the BFU. The GM, Chris, had to step down for a while but his love for the BFFL community brought him back. A spot became available in the BFA and it was from here the Jurassic Coast Jackrabbits and their now infamous hastag - #defendthisrun - was born. It was a rebuilding process last season for the Jackrabbits, formerly based in Weston, as they just missed out on a playoff spot in the BFA West. For 2021, it is a new name and a new division as they move to the BFA South division. This is Chris - aka "CDK" to his friends in the league, and these are his Quick 10 Questions. 1. How did you first get involved in the league? I know Harry (Bromsgrove Boars) from a few fantasy footba...

A BIG SEASON

-

  The 2021 season in the Brit Towers universe is going to be huge for many reasons across our six levels, mostly in part to the promotion and relegation system kicking in. This format did not exist for our inaugural 2020 season as the teams settled in to the top three levels, leaving 32 teams to compete in regional divisions within the BFU to decide who would form the fourth level BFU for 2021 and who would form the fifth level BFO. Add to this the addition of British Bulldog, our bestball format level, which will join the promotion and relegation system in 2022 and it is easy to see why this is such a big season. For an in-depth look at the season ahead here is what will be happening in the Brit Towers universe for 2021: THE BFFL CUP A new "F.A. Cup" style addition to the league formats, where all 96 teams will be able to go up against each other in this knockout competition. Barriers of which level a team plays in will be broken down and every team has a chance to lift the ...
