The shape of NFL free agency could look significantly different once the league year opens in March. Some players will get the franchise tag, some players will get re-signed and some players will all of a sudden become free agents after their team releases them.
For the Cleveland Browns, free agency might be all about retaining their own players instead of overspending after a huge salary cap increase.
It is hard to predict what will happen this offseason with a less-than-stellar NFL draft class, some decent free agents and, currently, over half the teams in the league having $30 million in cap space or more.
