The Roster is how teams were assembled and how they were played: the draft, the trades, the wire, the keepers, the lineup. Desk fronts lead with the reads; the ledgers are filed underneath.
Championships are kept, not drafted. Of the 96 skill-position core slots on nineteen title teams, 52 percent were continuity, kept or held from a previous roster. Ten percent were drafted that year. Kickers and defences hold 18 further slots and are counted apart, because a streamed defence is claimed and dropped too often for the archive to follow.
The board is a lottery where round one sells the most tickets. Mean stint return is positive in three rounds of twelve, but only round one survives losing its best pick, and three of four first-round picks still fail.
Two managers are the trade market. Pete has been on one side of 37 of the league's 58 trades. George has made one in nineteen years, and it won somebody else a championship.
The best acquisitions are free. Eight of the fifty Ring of Honor careers came off waivers at no draft cost, Tyreek Hill among them.
89 careers: every Ring of Honor place, every All Cool Pete Team selection and every man on the playoff nineteen. Sorted by career PAR, which is every start for every franchise.
