Again though....every single team becomes way way less restricted to do a deal once Saturday hits. Every pending ufa dollar comes off their books that day which then allows flexibility for both signing other ufas AND acquiring players via trade.
No 1sts were offered or available this week....so Conroy and crew were smart and decided to play a longer game when way more teams could be involved.
I think circumstances have dictated this was really the only way to play things after seeing what the market was.
Not one deal was made yesterday as far as 1sts go. First time in16 years iirc. So why try and jumpstart that action when you wont get what you want?
