Free agency is always before the draft. I am sure the free agents like it that way. Higher demand for them, I guess. I could see instances where free agent players would be in higher demand after the draft.

I wonder if the teams would be able to build better if they had the draft before free agency begins. I would like to see the NFL try that for a few years and see what happens.

Would it save the NFL owners money?
Would it result in a better product on the field?
Would the NFL need to have the players union approve it before they did it?

So nobody cares that we go on a free agent spending spree on March 16th?

This place will be buzzing.

Here's a pic from March 16 of the Cowboys braintrust in action during free agency:

I like that they invited Romo to be part of the big bonanza. He can tell Jerry who the other teams are signing before it even happens.

So, when can we cut Zeke?
2023. Too much deadcap to cut him this offseason.

Unless he does something stupid and gets into trouble and all the guarantees disappear. Looks like 2023. 2022 isn't out of the picture and would be a wash on the cap for 2022 (save $18M salary and lose $18M in already paid bonus accelerating) and result in $12M in dead money in 2023.
