All the RFAs are playing out in a fairly predictable manner. See my guesses from weeks ago in post 2461 and prior, above, and nothing ever changed. The reality is that the hard cap brought some sanity to the mix, where teams are now making real choices with a limited budget, and a RFA can't credibly threaten to simply go get a ridiculous deal from another team if you don't meet his demands.
The grass on the other side isn't greener after all.
There's a belief that everything will be different next summer, but I'm skeptical. All the cap room might get eaten up by extensions and re-signs. And with tax and aprons and hard caps, no team can really benefit from paying stupid money to a player to get them.
