Yesterday, clubs and agents were able to negotiate contracts legally for NFL Free Agency 2023. And like many of us, in the days leading up to yesterday, I fell into the yearly trap of reading and believing rumors. I spent too much time working in the League to be so stupid, but I admit I fell for the BS and am guilty as charged.
In the days leading up to free agency, there is always talk by the Network "Insiders" (both ESPN and the NFL Network) about what the perceived market is on certain players. Where I made my mistake is that these Insiders do not get their free agent information from teams but rather from agents.
