2010 NFL Franchise Players

Franchise player designations were announced for the 2010 NFL free agency signing period that begins on March 5.

In 2010, a club may designate a franchise player or a transition player in lieu of a franchise player, as well as one additional transition player.

The salary offer by a player’s club determines whether the franchise player designation is exclusive or non-exclusive.

An “exclusive” franchise player – not free to sign with another club – is offered a minimum of the average of the top five salaries at the player's position for the current year as of April 15, 2010 or 120 percent of the player’s previous year’s salary, or the average of the top five salaries at his position as of the end of last season – whichever of the three is greater.

If the player is offered a minimum of the average of the top five salaries of last season at his position, or 120 percent of the player’s previous year’s salary, whichever is greater, he becomes a “non-exclusive” franchise player and can negotiate with other clubs. His old club can match a new club’s offer, or receive two first-round draft choices if it decides not to match. The signing period for franchise players to sign with new clubs is March 5, 2010 until the Tuesday after the 10th week of the season (November 16, 2010).

A transition player receives a minimum offer of the average of the top 10 salaries of last season at the player’s position or 120 percent of the player’s previous year’s salary, whichever is greater.

A transition player designation gives the club a first-refusal right to match an offer sheet given to the player by another club after his contract expires. If the club matches, it retains the player. If it does not match, it receives no compensation.

There are no transition player designations this year.

GROUPS, SEEDING AND SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED FOR INAUGURAL IFAF WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL

Stockholm will welcome six teams from two continents to the Zinkensdamms IP Stadium when history is made on the gridiron from June 26 to July 4, 2010

TUESDAY, JANUARY 23, 2010 - PARIS, FRANCE - The International Federation of American Football (IFAF) has announced the seeding, groups and schedule for the inaugural 2010 IFAF Women's World Championship and the six nations that will make history in Sweden this summer.

The world's best female American Football players will converge on Stockholm, the capital city of Sweden, for the historic first-ever international competition for women. Seeding for the six nations that will send their 45-player women's national teams to Scandinavia was determined based on the number of female American football participants in each country established by data recorded in the 2009 IFAF Benchmarking Study.

Seed

1 USA
2 Canada
3 Germany
4 Austria
5 Finland
6 Sweden

"Women's tackle football is growing steadily in popularity and there is definitely enthusiasm among players for an international competition," said IFAF President TOMMY WIKING, who is also the President of the hosting Swedish American Football Federation (Svenska Amerikansk Fotbollsförbundet).

"It will be interesting to discover the rate of development of the women's game when these six countries take the field. Other sports have grown and flourished as a result of their members entering competition and over time the margin of competitiveness has narrowed. IFAF sees this tournament as a starting point for the women's game to prosper internationally."

American football's female athletes will compete at the Zinkensdamms IP Stadium in Stockholm in the following groups:

Group A
USA
Austria
Finland

Group B
Canada
Germany
Sweden

The 2010 IFAF Women's World Championship will kick off on Sunday, June 27 when number one seed USA takes on Austria and host Sweden faces number two seed Canada. Austria will be in action again on Tuesday, June 29 against Finland, along with Sweden against Germany.

Games featuring Canada versus Germany and USA against Finland on Thursday, July 1 will complete the group play. The top teams in each group will meet in the IFAF Women's World Championship Gold Medal Game on Saturday, July 3 following the Bronze Medal and fifth placed games.

Each of the six teams will face group opponents for the first time in history in women's American football, but international competition within the women's game is not without precedent since two previous games have been played in Scandinavia. Finland hosted Sweden in 2008, winning 64-0 in Helsinki and again in 2009 when the Swedes played host to their neighbors as Finland triumphed again, this time by a score of 36-6.

The United Stateswill aim to complete a unique IFAF tackle football treble by adding the Women's World Championship to the world titles won by their Men's Senior National Team and 19-and-under Junior National Team. The men won the 2007 IFAF Senior World Championship with a 23-20 double overtime win over Japan in Tokyo. The juniors defeated Canada 41-3 to win the first ever IFAF Junior World Championship in Canton, Ohio, in 2009.

Team information:
USA Football's Women's National Team will represent the United States in Stockholm. USA Football's team will be assembled in partnership with the Independent Women's Football League (IWFL), which consists of more than 1,800 female athletes across 51 teams. This roster will represent the United States' first women's national team in America's favorite sport. According to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, more than 120,000 American females played tackle football at least 26 times in 2008.

Selection for the Canada National Team is down to 90 players that will participate in one of two regional camps during March in Saskatoon, SK, and Oromocto, NB. The selected players will then attend the final camp in Saint John, NB, before heading to Sweden at the end of June.

Head Coach Larry Harlow, who was one of the founders of the New Brunswick Women's Football League, the New Brunswick Jr. Girls Football League and the Maritime Women's Football League, will lead the Canadian challenge. He is currently the Head Coach of the Saint John Storm, a team he has transformed from last place into undefeated Maritime Champions.

Germany has selected a provisional squad that includes nine players from the two German Ladies Bowl finalists Berlin Kobras and Nuremberg Hurricanes. The Munich Cowboys and Duesseldorf Blades have also contributed nine players, while the Hamburg Amazons provide eight and the Mainz Lady Warriors six. More than 110 players attended tryouts in Cologne.

The women's league began in 1990 and the first official German Championship game - the Ladies Bowl - was played in 1992. Since 2008 the German women's league has featured two divisions and for the 2010 season has 20 teams and approximately 750 players.

Women's American Football has been played in Austria since 1997 and the Austrian Football Division Ladies features four teams from two countries: the Black Widows from Graz,
Budapest Wolves Ladies from Hungary, Raiffeisen Vikings Ladies from Vienna and Rangers Roughnecks from Südstadt. The Austrian Ladies Bowl was first played in 2000 when the Black Widows won the first of three consecutive titles and since tehn the Vikings Ladies have won the past seven championship games.

Cameron Frickey, a native of the United States and former wide receiver for the Vienna Vikings, will coach Austria.

Women's football has a long tradition in Finland. Women started to play 9-on-9 flag football in the late 1980s, but rules evolved towards allowing contact, which eventually led to a move to tackle football. Finland head coach Teemu Kuusisto has a long history of coaching Finland's national teams and top club teams.

The GS Demons and Roosters, both from Helsinki, provide most of the starters for the national team and have dominated Ladies football in recent history, contesting the last seven national finals. Finland has six teams competing in their own domestic league.

Women's football in Sweden is in its infancy with three club teams - Stockholm Mean Machines, Arlanda Jets and Limhamn Griffins -operating since the formation of a national team in 2008. The national team has twice faced neighbor Finland in friendly competition, improving in 2009 with a 36-6 loss following on from a 64-point shutout defeat a year earlier. Sweden's female players have played flag football and also integrated with country's men's teams for the past decade.

GFL: Marburg Mercenaries Zugänge

Die Secondary rüstet auf
(atb). Das Defensive Backfield der Marburg Mercenaries galt in der jüngsten Vergangenheit so ein bisschen als das Sorgendkind des Vereines. Dies war vor allem der stets dünnen Personaldecke geschuldet und so verwundert es wenig, dass ein Hauptaugenmerk in der „off season“ der qualitativen and quantitativen Aufwertung gerade dieses Mannschaftsteiles galt. Mit Fug und Recht kann man inzwischen konstatieren, dass sich die Mühen gelohnt haben, denn mit Lelan Brickus, Joel Abongi und Jeffrey Jampoh wechseln gleich drei ehemalige Weinheim Longhorns an die Lahn.

Die footballerische Laufbahn von Lelan Brickus ist ohne Wenn und Aber als illuster zu bezeichnen. Was als 13jähriger bei den damaligen Heidelberg Black Knights begann führte den Safety über die Jugend der Darmstadt Diamonds bis in die NFL-Europe, in welcher er von 2000-2004 für Berlin Thunder auflief. Die Bundesliga sah in dieser Zeit Stationen in Aschaffenburg, München und Rüsselsheim und zahlreiche Berufungen in den Kader der Nationalmannschaft. Der erste herbe Rückschlag auf der Karriereleiter erfolgte dann 2003 in Form eines Kreuzbandrisses, der ihn dazu veranlasste 2005 zunächst in das Coaching bei den Diamonds einzusteigen um sich stetig wieder an seine körperliche Fitness heranzukämpfen. Doch der Weg war ein steiniger und erst 2008 konnte Brickus dann wieder „richtig spielen“, wie er es ausdrückt. Ein letzter Trikotwechsel folgte 2009 in jenes der Longhorns, bevor es ihn dieses Jahr zusammen mit alten Weggefährten nach Marburg verschlägt. „Viele meiner jetzigen Mitspieler kenne ich ja bereits und ich freue mich einfach darauf, eine gute Saison zu spielen in der vieles möglich ist.“

Joel Abongi kommt ursprünglich aus Saarbrücken. Der 28jährige Kaufmann im Groß-, und Außenhandel startete 1995 bei den Saarbrücken Wölfen ist vielen Footballfans aber wohl eher ein Begriff als Teil der Meistermannschaft der Darmstadt Diamonds Jugend im Jahre 2001. 2002 ging es wieder zurück in die Heimat, bevor er 2003 bei den Stuttgart Scorpions anheuerte. Nach einer Pause von zwei Jahren gelang 2005 das Comeback bei den Darmstädtern, von denen er sich nach dem Abstieg aus der GFL 2009 Richtung Weinheim verabschiedete. Bei den Mercenaries soll Abongi, der auch als Outside Linebacker eingesetzt werden kann, eine gewichtige Rolle im Defensivverbund von Head Coach Joe Roman spielen.


Bei Jeffrey Jampoh spielte der Football lange keine wirklich große Rolle. Der 23jährige Jura Student aus Heidelberg spielte erst 10 Jahre Basketball, bevor er sich 2009 den Weinheim Longhorns anschloss. Schnell wurde klar, dass hier großes Talent vorhanden ist, eine Einschätzung, die im übrigen auch Coach Roman seit dem ersten offenen Training in Marburg aus dem Dezember teilt. „Es ist zwar noch vieles ein wenig roh was Jeffrey macht, aber die Anlagen sind unzweifelhaft da und ich werde ihn auf einigen Positionen testen. Gut möglich, dass er am Ende als Receiver für uns aufläuft.“, so der US-Amerikaner der sich schon jetzt auf die neue GFL- Saison freut. „Der Erfolg einer Saison hängt zwar von vielen Faktoren ab, aber mit einem solchen Kader ist dieses Jahr einiges möglich.“

GFL: Mercenaries verstärken die Defense

Mit Daniel McCray und Eric Hoerl werden in der kommenden GFL- Saison zwei ehemalige Linebacker aus Weinheim das Trikot der Mercenaries tragen. Nach etlichen Stippvisiten beim Training der „Söldner“ entschieden sich die Beiden zu einem Engagement an der Lahn. Präsident Carsten Dalkowski ist sehr froh über diese Entwicklung, die er keinesfalls als abgeschlossen betrachtet: „Wir werden in naher Zukunft noch einige weitere Neuzugänge präsentieren können. Zwar muss man mit Vorhersagen immer vorsichtig sein, allerdings haben wir dieses Jahr auf dem Papier einen sehr starken Kader.“

Den 30jährige US-Amerikaner Eric Hoerl verschlug es 2003 dank einer Deutschen Frau nach Magdeburg wo er zwei Jahre für die heimischen Virgin Guards auflief. Ein Jobangebot verschlug den Mann aus Milwaukee im US-Bundesstatt Wisconsin anschließend nach Frankfurt am Mai, wo er sich den Darmstadt Diamonds anschloss, für die er drei Spielzeiten aktiv war, bevor er 2009 in Weinheim unter Head Coach Shawn McBrayer spielte. Hoerl, der sowohl Outside-, als auch Inside Linebacker spielen kann, freut sich auf die Herausforderung Marburg und die Chance unter Coach Roman in dessen berühmt, berüchtigter „4-4 Defense“ spielen zu können.

Daniel McCray gehörte die letzten Jahre zu den auffälligsten Akteuren der Weinheim Longhorns. Ursprünglich aus der Jugend der Heidelberg Bulls, war er ein integraler Part der erfolgreichen GFL-Jugend in Weinheim. Logische Konsequenz der überragenden Leistungen war 2004 die Berufung in die Junioren Nationalmannschaft. Bei den Seniors folgten ganz unterschiedliche Erfahrungen. Nach dem Aufstieg in die GFL 2006 sah das Jahr 2007 eine Knöchelverletzung, 2008 einen munteren Wechsel zwischen beiden Seiten des Balles und erst 2009 wurde McCray dann fast ausschließlich auf der Position des Outside Linebackers eingesetzt, eine Position, die Coach Roman wohl auch in Marburg für den Mann aus Speyer vorgesehen hat. Kürzlich erreichte den Neu Marburger dann auch die Berufung in den erweiterten Kader der Nationalmannschaft für das Spiel gegen Japan im April.

Head Coach Joe Roman wird nächste Woche in Marburg erwartet, um die Vorbereitungen auf die Saison in Angriff zu nehmen.

Assindia Cardinals stellen Weichen für die GFL-Saison

Die Assindia Cardinals haben die Planungen für die GFL-Saison 2010 aufgenommen. Neben den beiden US-Amerikanern Ben Widmyer und Bryant Cornell verstärken fünf Spieler aus der Region die Essener. Neu im Trainerstab ist Erskine Baker.

Erskine Baker wird die Widereceiver der Assindia Cardinals betreuen und zusätzlich als „Speed Coach“ sämtliche Spieler des Kaders positionsgerecht schneller machen. Baker, der hauptberuflich an einer Essener Sprachschule tätig ist, betreut außerdem die Mönchengladbach Mavericks und Düsseldorf Panthers. Seine erste Station in Deutschland waren die Cologne Falcons. In den Vereinigten Staaten entwickelt Erskine seit 2007 Trainingspläne im Auftrag des KLW Athlete Managements.

Nachfolger von Santtu Äyräväinen, der wieder in seiner Heimat Finnland spielt, wird Middle-Linebacker Bryant Cornell. Der 22-Jährige spielte von 2005 bis 2008 für die Oregon State University, er führte seine Mannschaft zweimal zum El Paso Sun Bowl und einmal zum Emerald Bowl. Für den Hobby-Gitarristen hat der Umzug nach Europa nicht nur sportliche Gründe: „I hope to gain a cultural experience by playing football in Germany as well as continue to participate in the game I love.” Zweiter Neuzugang aus Übersee ist Quarterback Ben Widmyer. Der 22-Jährige spielte von 2005 bis 2008 für die Wofford Terriers College-Football.

Zurück in Reihen der Assindia Cardinals ist Thilo Stukator. Sein letztes Spiel für die Essener bestritt der Runningback in der Aufstiegsrunde 2007 gegen die Magdeburg Virgin Guards. Wegen einer Fußverletzung setzte Stukator zunächst mit dem American Football aus und konzentrierte sich auf seine berufliche Laufbahn. Mit dem Bochumer Fabian Steenker konnte ein Quarterback mit Regionalligaerfahrung (Bochum Cadets) verpflichtet werden. Der 25-jährige Polizeibeamte spielt bereits seit 14 Jahren American Football. Dave Nash wechselt von der Landes- in die Kulturhauptstadt. Der 24-Jährige kann als Widereceiver eingesetzt werden. Mit 19 Jahren noch lange nicht am Ende seiner Entwicklung ist Runningback Sascha Orlic, der aus der Jugend der Mülheim Shamrocks in den Seniorenbereich nach Essen wechselt. Erfahrung für die Defense Line bringt Christian Poltermann mit. Der 29-Jährige kommt von den Gelsenkirchen Devils.
