The Torpedoes may have to do the same...
I think you have a point there.

I might have the best FAs when released, but others might think so too.

What makes me puzzled is that I got stupid to add up to 70 names I liked and now I got to give up on a few, including 5th round picks. And, although I expected to have to cut a guy or three from those 5th round picks, I don't like seeing the value getting lost.

I never understood why NFL teams would release guys all the time and not try to give them a job elsewhere and get some value in return. Now, I see it's a simple case of people all liking the guys they have and only if the guy available is a big upgrade, they will take him.

Right now, I actaully think I can see why and I think I should feel lucky to be able to trade guys for even a 7th rounder.
