When Cleveland owner Scarface132 said "Say hello to my little friend," he meant dollar bills. The Thunderbolts doled out nearly $46 million to 12 free agents, most on two-year contracts. Nine of those contracts were for $4 million or more; yet Cleveland managed to stay nearly $8 million under the salary cap.

Arizona and Smirt211 were not far behind, spending more than $30 million on seven free agents. LG Ronald Bocanegra hit the jackpot, getting $5,584,800 for one year. The Wranglers also gave a one-year deal for $5.1 million to WR James Dennis.

The training camp sim runs Thursday, with midweek prep followed by Saturday's preseason opener.
