NFL Front Office

Real rosters. Real cap math. Your calls. Build a dynasty one season at a time.

Take over a front office

Real 2025 rosters, rated from two seasons of real production. Manage the cap, sign free agents, swing trades, survive the injury report, draft the future, and chase a dynasty across as many seasons as you can. Saves automatically.

NFL Front Office: the GM Sim

Take over a real NFL franchise with rosters rated from two seasons of real production. Manage the salary cap, cut and sign players, negotiate trades the AI actually evaluates, ride out the weekly injury report, scout a draft class where the grades can lie, and chase titles across unlimited saved seasons with aging, breakouts and retirements.

Somebody has to make the hard calls, and here that somebody is you. Take over any of the 32 clubs and run it all: the cap, free agency, trades, the draft.

The league moves around you: rivals sign players, stars get hurt in December, dynasties get built one contract at a time.

How to play NFL Front Office

  • Pick a franchise. Its players carry fictional contracts against a 260 million dollar cap that rises 5 percent each season.
  • Read the ownership mandate. A loaded roster is told to win the Super Bowl, a mid one to make the playoffs, a bare one to hit an honest win number. It resets every offseason from where your roster really stands.
  • Shape the roster: cut bloated deals, sign free agents, and take trades to the phone: the other GM counters like a person, asking for a pick, offering a lesser man, or hanging up.
  • Play week by week as scores, injuries, and rival moves roll in, with a live read on whether you are on pace for the mandate.
  • After the Super Bowl, spend 3 picks on a 40 prospect class where scout grades can lie. Defensive picks boost your defense unit rather than adding a player.
  • Run the offseason, where young players grow and veterans fade, then chase the next title. Seasons are unlimited, as long as ownership keeps you.

    • Rules to know

  • The season runs 17 weeks: home and away against your division rivals plus 11 crossover games.
  • Playoffs use the real 14 team format: 7 seeds per conference, byes for the 1 seeds, four knockout rounds.
  • Trades are judged on rating, age, and position, with quarterbacks at a premium. The AI only accepts a clear win.
  • Grades can miss by up to 4 points either way, injuries cost players 1 to 4 weeks, and rosters cannot drop below six players.
  • Trust upstairs runs 0 to 100. Beating the mandate raises it, missing it drops it, a championship fixes almost anything, and at zero you are fired and the save ends. A fresh GM always survives one bad year, never three.

    • Example walkthrough

    You inherit a 6-11 roster with no cap room, cut an aging receiver, and sign the best lineman available. When your quarterback goes down, you flip a backup and a pick for a veteran starter.

    You sneak in as a 7 seed, lose the Wild Card game, then watch a 90 grade tackle turn out an 84 while the round 3 receiver you almost skipped blooms into an 86. Two years on, you are the 1 seed.

    Strategy tips

  • Build around the quarterback. Team strength leans on that slot more than anything else.
  • Young players with hidden upside beat expensive 31 year olds, because decline starts there and never stops.
  • In trade talks, stand firm only when you hold leverage: a young piece, or a partner thin at his position. Push a weak hand and the price goes up.

    • NFL Front Office FAQ

    Are the players real?

    Yes, real 2025 rosters rated from real 2023 and 2024 production. Contracts, trades, and draft prospects are all fictional.

    Can I get fired?

    Yes. Ownership sets a mandate from your roster's honest strength, grades it every season, and tracks trust from 0 to 100. Miss badly enough for long enough and the seat goes, the save ends, and you take another front office.

    Does my franchise save?

    Automatically, in your browser, after every move. The abandon button wipes it for a fresh start.

    Is NFL Front Office free to play?

    Yes. NFL Front Office is free to play on DoUKnowBall, right in your browser. No download and no signup needed.
