Dropbox - 1976_players_empty_expansion.zip - Simplify your life
One more set -- I also made 1976_players and 1976_quarterbacks files where the expansion teams (Seattle and Tampa Bay) have no players. Other teams will start picking up those players in FA before you get a chance to do anything if you start as one of these teams, including the expansion team you DON'T start as, so your team will be the only empty one. You'll be really bad in 1976. This file uses the cap changes that I mentioned earlier -- it's a $9.7M cap and player salaries are adjusted accordingly, plus contracts from nilodor's file were all extended by a year. There does end up being a pretty decent FA market though, since the AI releases players to stay under the cap.
