What is the RSP Writers Project (RSPWP)?
The RSP Writers Project is a goodwill community effort among writers that is designed to spur conversation about the game. Each year there’s a different theme. The first RSPWP was a team-building project with a salary cap. You can still download the spreadsheet from the link and try it yourself. RSPWP2 was an online start-up draft held on Twitter.
RSPWP3 took a departure from team-building and focused on team management. With the assistance of an NFL employee with experience in a variety of player-personnel roles and knowledge of multiple teams, I drafted scenarios based on actual events that NFL leadership had to handle. Writers were given two scenarios to write about as if they were the general manager.
