August..Preseason bekons!
The team worked hard through July. As always, between Sims and the Older Amota..it seemed the Dragons had three teams...One team coming, one team practicing and another Team coming in.
Most folks didn't last long, they were looking for BAllplayers who where tough,but were not headcases...and your contract didn't matter. Agents hated the Dragons, as each contract was a fistfight..and the players always came out on the short end...the long and short of it , was this..You got paid a flat rate for your position..a bit more for where you were drafted...and a bit more for each year you were on the dragons...after that..the contracts were loaded with incentives, taylored to your position...you wanted more money? you best go out and do something..no free rides on the dragons...there was also a'charcter clause'..you did something illegal..you were cut...Contract voided...there were more then a few 'death sentence' clauses in there...which the player had to sign, to get the contract. Some of the worsecase players refused...none are on the team now...
The Bus arrived with 7 players in it...Ben, Lucas, and 5 others, some where recent cuts from other teams, others were undrafted freeagents that the scouts dug up...
Practice was over for the Day. Players were heading to the showers, and the to eat.
