Who doesn’t love free agency? For my money, it’s more fun than mock drafts. In the mocks, you end up reading about some freakishly gifted WR from East-West Central State who your team might steal in Round 6. You get excited. And then the draft comes, and that never happens.
But with free agency, chances are you’ve heard of a lot of the names being bandied about. You can already envision how that up-and-coming hybrid safety, just finishing up his rookie deal, will match up against your rival’s stud tight end. And then free agency opens, and that never happens.
