I actually think we are going to see ridiculous deals being struck. As noted previously, teams have more cap space to spend on fewer quality free agents since the start of free agency. Whereas in the past, a lot of teams couldn't engage in bidding wars over top-notch FAs due to cap considerations, now there are going to be numerous bidders on the good FAs. The bidding wars might get ridiculous, with teams front-loading deals to use their current cap space and limit the impact of big signings on future cap figures.
