Do you see any impact FAs making it to the market in 14?
Sorry...too far ahead to consider. How about B.J. Raji? Many months will pass for players to be extended or franchised. In a "what have you done for me lately" league, 2013 performance will impact 2014 availability.
In any case, there are always quality players available. It's just a question of price.
This season's free agency season panned out as I predicted...flat cap coupled with elite player salaries escalating and a cheap rookie salary scale creates a vast middle of decent bargain players. Good players in the 28-31 year range who were released because of cap considerations or were heading into a third contract really took it on the chin this year. This should continue until a year comes along with a sharp bump in the salary cap (2015?) One could jump from 8 wins to the playoffs with a carefully selected few of these bargain players.
SF, BAL, SEA and NE don't seem shy about filling holes with these types of players in order to stay on top.
