Well, it's unclear what free agency in the future will look like. On the one hand, because players don't become free agents until they have spent 6 seasons in the NFL. So the number and quality of players hitting free agency will diminish. On the other hand, we'll be able to outbid any other team for players. So, while the pool of free agents gets smaller, our chances of landing free agents we target skyrockets.
