Which teams are in danger of losing their top players?
Before getting into the list of each team’s most notable unrestricted free agent, first we must distinguish between what it means to be restricted and unrestricted.
Essentially an unrestricted free agent is a player who isn’t attached to a single team; they have the option to discuss deals with any teams with or without the intention to actually play for them in the future. Meanwhile, a restricted free agent is a player who has received a starting offer from his previous team, but other teams still have the ability to offer him a deal.
