------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Madden 2004 Roster Update FAQ author: ToneDef724 1. Legal Info This section is usually for a bunch of mumbo-jumbo about where a guide can and cannot be posted and so forth. But im not really concerned with limiting this guide's usage, as the only reason it is being written is for people to use it. GAMEFAQS.com is only place currently authorized to post this document, and as far as personal and private usage go right ahead. IF you want to post this guide on a your own site, all I ask is that you contact me to let me know that you are doing so. As long as the document is not altered and I am given proper credit, there will be no problems. 2.

Intro I've always been one of those people who is very picky about having updated rosters in video games, especially in a game like Madden, which alows you to alter the default rosters in just about any way imaginable. I am writing this for those Gamecube owners like me who don't have access to the Roster Update downloads directly from EA available to PS2 users(although im sure it would serve its puropse for users on any platform) I would like to point out (although I think it is obvious) that the contents of this document are a compilation of information posted on various NFL and team related websites. This document's sole purpose is to make said information more accesible and easily readable in one document. 4.

Transactions by Team ******note on retiring players******* You may be wondering how to simulate a player retirement. Simplest way is to just release them then edit their essential ratings down to zero so that their overall is low (in 2003 it would go down to a 12 or 13) and nobody wil sign them. ************************************* ************************************* It should be noted that there are alot of problem encountered when trying to cut/sign players, due to minimum roster requirements. I hope to have CAPS in order to reduce the occurance of this problem (see CAPS section for more info) ************************************* Chiacgo Bears - released FB Damian Shelton released LT Bernard Robertson released LOLB Mike Caldwell released CB Roosevelt Williams signed LT Scott Sanderson signed LG Corbin Lacina traded DT Ted Washington to NE for a 4th round pick Cinncinati Bengals - released WR Ron Dugans released WR Dany Farmer released TE Sean Brewer released RE Reinard Wilson released LOLB Steve Foley released MLB Armegis Spearman released CB LaVar Glover released FS Lamont Thompson released SS JoJuan Armour released K Neil Rackers signed TE Tony Stewart signed LOLB Keyon Whiteside signed K Shayne Graham Buffalo Bills - released WR Charles Johnson released WR James Jett released SS Tony Driver signed RB Joe Burns signed RE Grant Irons signed MLB Dominique Stevenson signed FS Lawyer Milloy traded RB Olandis Gary to DET for an undisclosed draft pick Denver Broncos - released QB Jarious Jackson released RB Terrell Davis released RB KaRon Coleman relased WR Herb Haygood signed LT Blake Brockermeyer signed CB Roosevelt Williams traded DT Lionel Dalton to WAS for a conditional draft pick Cleveland Browns - released LOLB Michael Josiah Tampa Bay Buccaneers - released QB Jim Miller released RB Travis Stephens released TE Ricky Dudley released TE Tony McGee signed WR Reggie Barlow signed WR Charles Lee Arizona Cardinals - released RB Travis Prentice released WR Marquise Walker released MLB Tony Gilbert signed RB Josh Scobey signed CB Emmanuel McDaniel San Diego Chargers - released QB Seth Burford released FS Ryan McNeil Kansas City Chiefs - retired T Willie Jones released WR Snoop Minnis released LB Lew Bush released LB Dustin Cohen signed WR Dameane Douglass Indianapolis Colts - released LOLB Keyon Whiteside signed QB Jim Druckenmiller traded SS Rich Coady to STL for an conditional draft pick Dallas Cowboys - released QB Clint Stoerner released WR Ken-Yon Rambo released TE Tony McGee released LE Demetric Evans released RE Colston Weatherington released DT John Nix released FS Woody Dantzler signed C Gennaro DiNapoli signed TE James Whalen signed LE Eric Ogbogu signed DT Daleroy Stewart aquired LE Kenyon Coleman from OAK for undisclosed draft pick Miami Dolphins - released RB Robert Edwards released WR Oronde Gadsden released TE Marco Battaglia traded FS Deon Dyer to HOU for a conditional draft pick Philadelphia Eagles - released QB Tim Hasselbeck signed LE Marco Coleman traded WR Freddie Millons to PIT for a conditional draft pick Atlanta Falcons - released WR MarTay Jenkins released TE Lamont Hall signed TE Sean Brewer signed CB Juran Bolden signed FS Woody Dantzler San Francisco 49ers - released QB Brandon Doman released HB Rashaan Salaam released DT Jim Flanigan released CB Fred Weary released K Jeff Chandler signed WR Fred Coleman signed LE Chidi Ahanotu signed DT Dwight Johnson New York Giants - released FB Charles Stackhouse released TE Wesley Walls released CB Rodercik Babers signed HB Delvin Joyce signed TE Dan O'Leary signed CB Ray Green Jacksonville Jaguars - released RB Elvis Joseph released WR Donald Hayes released WR Kevin Lockett released LE Marco Coleman released DT Larry Smith released FS Marlon McCree released SS Johndale Carty signed WR R.
