I have no doubt that every team is going to have a tough time dealing with free agency. However, we know a few things: (1) some teams (like ours) cannot sign anyone of significance in free agency, (2) a lot of teams (like ours) are going to have to let good people go to get under the cap, (3) only some teams can afford to sign free agents (i.e. the Eagles), and (4) those free agents will sign somewhere (however long it takes to get deals done).

So, unless one of my premises is wrong, the Eagles should benefit.

I just not sold on that! Nothing against you but it seems some how the FO and Gibbs saw this coming and know more then we do! I could be wrong but look at all the players lining up to do thier part! Like in the Great depression the people that kept thier head made money not lost! The thing that I see here is it is going to be a big buyers market. There is going to be a lot of players with very little money out there...can we agree on that? Also agents as well as players may or maynot wanted to sign contracts with big money player like Danny S out there in 07! The one thing that gets me is if nothing is done by monday and the cut come down look at all the players without jobs? I would think Upshaw would be in the hot seat? Those players most likely maynot find money from other teams that they would have had if things were the same as in 05! The owners can really show restraint and get some great deals this freee agentcy!
