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.

NFL Lockout agreement


So what will happen after the new CBA is signed and the NFL proceeds with business? Well I will tell you, it will be one of the most exciting times the NFL has ever had. There is a good possibility that when an agreement is made there could be as many as 500 free agents, talk about a signing freenzy!! It will be complete and utter chaos for management, and great TV for us fans. The way it is now players at the 4 year mark become restricted free agents, well there is allot of talk about year 5&6 now too.
The entire power could swing in the NFL. There are a few teams who have had horrible 3-5 year runs that are on the brink that could become front runners, like Detroit, the Rams, Oakland, Cleveland, just too name a few. Some experts are saying in order for teams to try and resign there guys there maybe a 3 day grace period after the lockout ends were only a players team can talk too them.
All I know is that this would be better than March Madness, and sports center would be as busy as they ever have been I don't think Chris Mortenson can keep up.
