We are a few days into the new league year across the NFL which means we are finally at a place where we can avoid funky and silly language. Obviously there are negotiations that happen in the lead-up to the NFL new year that include terms being agreed to between a player and team (new or old), as well as between teams as they discuss a trade. It is always possible to see somebody get cold feet at the eleventh hour, but thankfully that did not happen this year.
We are specifically thankful that this did not happen to the Dallas Cowboys as they did something very notable prior to the new year beginning (or what some people refer to as pre-free agency).
