I think it only really impacts the first year and in my opinion the $ amounts are right but the free agents are drastically over rated. These guys are all free agents in real life for a reason. I went in and reduced all their ratings so that my highest free agent was a 79 to start the season. I mean Tiki Barber an 83? Who thought that was legit? Was he even an 83 in his last appearance in Madden?

Realistically, the only reason they would be signed past this point would be to fill in for an injury but since they were improperly rated some of them could come in and be stars on some teams current rosters. As injury fillers most of these players, now that they have probably gotten the message that teams aren't interested in them full time would jump at a contract for just under $1M for a year.
