- If you decide to trade a RFA to free up that space, that puts a good RFA on the market which is good.

When I looked at this one of the trends I saw that was creating the asset difference was that lower teams pretty much were in a cycle of paying for aging vets, signing to grids, and then doing the same over and over.

This I think breaks that cycle. Though it remains to be seen.
I think it will also lower the price of UFA rentals, especially for veterans. This might increase trading deadline activity.
