NFP: UDFAs May Have to Wait Once Labor Peace Resolved

[Hostile]

When the labor mess finally is settled, don’t be surprised if undrafted players have to continue to wait to sign with teams. The talk going around, some of it spurred by agents, is there should be a period in which teams can sign veteran free agents first, followed by a period in which undrafted free agents are fair game. Player agents and veteran players prefer it this way because they don’t want undrafted free agents getting in the way of their older players. Many teams like the idea too because it will enable them to take on one frontier at a time.

hate having to wait for UDFA's to sign, its one of the more exciting events.

But I think this is a good idea to separate the two.

Agreed.

It would make more sense to do the udfa's first though. It would only take a day or two for them. The vet free agents could take awhile longer.

Just one more thing I really don't care about, because as I've said too many times, all I really care to hear is that a deal is done. Then we can talk about the rest of it. But until a deal is reached, it's all just more of a tease, and more of a reminder that there is really nothing going on.
