2049-0003: Talons Offer Minor League Contracts to 178 Top Free Agents in Astonishing Genius-Level Move

Phoenix, AZ--

In what must be a stunning display of quantum physics, rocket science, and brain surgery, the Talons have offered a minor league contract to every single BBA free agent with a rating of 50 or higher.

"And even a few rated at 40 or 45 if we recognize the name," said a front office source.

"I mean, this is LVL 99 type shit we got going on here," the source continued. "Minor league offers are free, right? So why not throw one out at everyone and see what sticks? Really what have we got to lose? If they all say no, again it's free. And if we happen to get a few 50+ rated guys, then hey, free player, how about that. And we can send them down to Single-A so the Toledo Liberty can win 100+ games and get bounced in the first round again, amirite?"

But others have a more skeptical view. There is concern in other areas of the team office that sending out MiLC's to top rated FA's is just an insult to them and sends the league the message that the Talons aren't taking this thing very seriously.

"I mean, they offered Dennis French a minor league contract. Dennis goddamn French. You can't make this stuff up," another source said.

Dennis says thank you for the offer.

It’s the sort of thing we have done in the past with Riyadh but the UMEBA only has a dozen or so free agents over 50 lol
