About Gridiron GM
You're the GM. Every decision is yours. 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. RUN THE FRANCHISE - Choose your offensive and defensive schemes and set your depth chart - Watch every week play out as a live, drive-by-drive broadcast — or skip to the result - All other teams play by the exact same engine, so the league lives and breathes around you WHEEL AND DEAL - Trade players and draft picks with a believable AI that values stars, youth, and premium positions the way real front offices do - Negotiate contract extensions, sign free agents, and manage the salary cap season after season - 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 - Spend scout points to peel back the fog — overall range, key traits, then development ceiling - Find the hidden gems, dodge the busts, and hit on the picks that build a dynasty BUILD A DYNASTY - Players age, break out, and decline on realistic career arcs - Young Star, Superstar, and Generational talents grow fast — develop them into franchise cornerstones - Chase awards, conference titles, and the championship across unlimited seasons MADE TO RESPECT YOUR TIME - Fully playable offline — no account, no login, no internet required - No ads, ever. No energy timers. No in-app purchases. One price, the whole game - Your save lives on your device Take the job. Build something that lasts.
