Many NFL teams are preparing to splurge for the start of free agency when the legal tampering period opens Monday. But it’s also buyer-beware season as many of the available players are hitting the open market for a reason.
In some cases, teams are forced to let go of top talent because of cap space issues. Those players tend to find homes quickly or get hit with the franchise tag before being traded, which could be the case for L’Jarius Sneed.
The free agent players who are allowed to walk because of performance or age often just need a change of scenery to play at a high level. Most teams believe its situation is better than most others in the NFL and decide to spend money in free agency. But last year proved again that many signings aren’t worth the risk.
