You can be forgiven for feeling that free agency was a bit ... underwhelming this year. There was plenty of cap space to go around, but not a ton of crème de la crème players to use it on. Following a nigh-unprecedented number of high-level trades and preceded by a draft season filled with interesting debates over the value of running backs and the stats-versus-"eye test" conflict, free agency didn't make as much as a splash as we normally expect.
That doesn't mean there's nothing to talk about, however.
