Yes/no
As someone that has been around for a few free agency I would say don’t count on what happened one year to be the same next year. It’s always unpredictable. This has been the riches talent base I have seen in free agency in a long time, oddly enough this has also been the lowest contract totals I can remember as well.
What effect with this have on next year? Well these guys usually eat up 8 -9 million, so you can say teams have more cap to spend this year.., which in turn might be used to sign thier UTA’s next year. In turn giving a less talented pool to pick from
So many valuables, and the moment you think you have an idea two GM’s come along and throw 8 million dollar contracts out throwing other teams in a panic to overpay the next round.
Deals can be had for sure, but don’t back yourself in a corner expecting you’ll fill you needs in FA because it so easy to find your team missing the boat because teams approached the free agency different than they did previous year
