Anyone have access to this article that can summarize it for me. I am not a member, but would love to know what it says.

Sure. Basically, it quotes a recent interview with Colbert at the combine, about the upcoming FA landscape-

Kevin Colbert: “I think there’ll be a flurry like there always is early,” he said on February 23. “Then I think there will be a lull. And then I think there’ll be a big back-end market because there’ll be a lot of players left without contracts after that initial wave, probably more than ever. So I think teams will be scrambling to add guys they can still fit under their cap and it’ll continue to unwind all the way up until the draft.”

It went on to talk about when and how Farrior was signed, and then listed some prospects that could potentially be a FA bargain like he was.

FB Owen Schmitt
TE John Carlson
ILB Joe Mays and his backups-
Wesley Woodyard
DJ Williams

Hope that helps.

Thanks! Now I just have to check out who those guys are. Sometimes I feel like too much of a homer, because I know our family so well and the rest of the NFL might as well be another sport at times.

For example, I don't know the starting RB's for the bills, lions or cards right now. And that was just scraping the surface.
