Finally the NFL lockout is over and the NFL season is set to open. No more labor stoppage talk, no more focusing on the Billions of dollars the NFL generates or how it is divided.
So now with Free Agency set to begin, and camps ready to open, signings and trades are going to begin to pop off in an astounding way. Players are already behind, so teams will won't to sign players as quickly as possibly in order to get players into camp. I believe first and foremost though teams must get the Rookie draft picks signed and into camp, there really going to struggle early.
So the next few days we will do our best to keep our readers updated as signings and trades happen and a few times a day we will be posting a run down on all the moves and rumors that we get through our contacts. So stay tuned, the next 5-7 days promise's to be some of the most exciting day's in NFL Preseason history.

NFL Free Agency Teams to Set Market Value
News that NFL owner's and players have agreed to a 3 day grace period at the start of Free Agency, for teams to have first go at there own players. What that means is with in the first 3 days of free agency the market value will be set. Will teams allow inflated contracts in order to resign guys?
Hopefully NFL owners have some sort of mutual agreement in place that they won't over pay guys. Now allot of players will test the free agency waters no doubt, but once a defensive lineman gets a $60 million dollar deal the chips are in place for the rest of them. Let's hope that GM's aren't spending money like it is last years free agent class.
This class will set a market price from here on out, atleast till then end of the new 10 year CBA agreement. So let's hope they start off right so there not in a hole year 1 of the new agreement.

NFL Free Agent Frenzy
The upcoming NFL Free Agency period is going to be one of the most exciting, news breaking times in NFL history. No matter if there are the 500 free agents or not we know that at very least 4 year tenured players will be free agents and that is something like 120 players. The balance of power could sway dramatically during this period. A middle of the road team could become a contender. Think about it some teams that are currently favorites could loose 20+ key guys and fall apart.
A few teams that are on the brink could benifit the most here, teams like the Detroit Lions, the Cleveland Browns, and the St Louis Rams. With so many skilled position players set to be free agents it is almost impossible to predict what will happen. Espn and the NFL network will be working overtime for sure. Free Agency is normally a very interesting time in the NFL anyway, and that is in 4-5 months. So just think of how much fun it is going to be to watch this all work out in a matter of weeks. It is already the middle of July and once an agreement is made they will want to get the players into camp quick so it will happen fast.
With the flood of free agents though the one person it will effect negatively is the players. With the amount of free agent there won't be monster deals, so there could be some big name guys holding out hoping for a Multiple year big money contract. Honestly I don't believe there will be too many of those this year.

2011 NFL season free agency
I'm sure everyone who reads this is like us, we are ready for some football. Though training camp isn't the most exciting time of the season this year will be much different. Regardless if all 4,5,6 year tenure players will be free agents or not we know that as many as 500 and as few has 110 players will be free agents once the agreement is reached! A normal free agent market is spread over a 4-5 month spam, so this is going to be special.
An agreement is going to happen soon, they are almost to the point of lost revenue and they won't let that happen, they could miss 1 to 2 pre season games but we dont think that will happen. The simple fact is that any preseason games missed decreases the salary cap for this year. Players don't want lower caps, and owners don't want to loose ticket, beer, and food revenue.
So soon we will have our beloved NFL back, and there will be a free for all free agent spree that follows. Stay tuned for the most interesting free agency sweep stakes in the history of sports.
