About Gridiron GM
Gridiron GM puts you in charge of a pro football franchise — pick one of 32 teams and run it for a decade or more. Set the game plan, work the phones, win the draft, and build a roster that hangs banners.
This isn't a tap-to-win idle game. It's a deep, honest front-office simulation that rewards smart roster building, sharp cap management, and a good eye for talent.

WHEEL AND DEAL

- Scout free-agent markets to see who's interested and what the deal will cost
WIN THE DRAFT
- A fresh prospect class every year, ordered by a noisy mock draft

BUILD A DYNASTY
