I wonder if you start to see more complimentary players like Russell and Franzen sign the best offer they get on day one of free agency rather than hold out and risk being left in the dark?

I think you'll see a lot of players like this start to accept low ball offers from their teams prior to the deadline.
Russell @ 4/$8m would've been fine with me.
