StickToTheModel's Be A GM mode is the most comprehensive NFL general manager simulator available online. Unlike simple mock draft tools, our GM simulator lets you manage every aspect of an NFL team's offseason: salary cap management, player cuts (including June 1st designations), free agent signings, contract restructures, franchise tags, trades, and a full 7-round NFL Draft - all with real 2026 salary cap data from Over The Cap.
Most "GM simulators" are just mock draft tools with a different name. StickToTheModel is the only tool that combines real salary cap data, contract management, free agency, and a full draft experience. You get an offseason grade when you're done, plus a plain-english recap of your moves. Used by 50,000+ NFL fans monthly.
StickToTheModel is the most complete NFL offseason simulator available. Simulate the entire 2026 offseason from start to finish: begin with roster evaluation, make strategic cuts to clear cap space, use June 1st designations to defer dead money, sign free agents to fill holes, restructure veteran contracts, apply your franchise tag, execute trades, and cap it off with a full 7-round NFL Draft. Every move uses real salary cap data and updates your cap in real time. See how your offseason strategy stacks up with an instant offseason grade when you finish.
Choose from all 32 NFL teams and step into the GM's chair. Each team starts with their real 2026 roster, salary cap situation, draft picks, and team needs. Rebuilding the Bears? Clear cap space and stockpile picks. Going all-in with the Chiefs? Restructure contracts and trade for a star. The Patriots need a quarterback? Tank for a top pick or trade up. Every team presents a unique challenge with real constraints.
