Daily RX – Situational Leverage

One theme of the March 13 and March 14 Under the Helmet episodes was that this free agency class is underwhelming. And that is being kind. There will be plenty of reaction pieces about specific players, but Doug’s point last week on the podcast was a critical one for owners: Use this buzz about a few of the more talked about free agents as leverage to work a deal. Whether it is Toby Gerhart talking up as a 15-20 touch per game workhorse in Jacksonville, Darren McFadden once again the starter in Oakland, Hakeem Nicks getting paired with Andrew Luck, or Rashad Jennings as the running back to own with the Giants, they were on the market for a reason. They are flawed players and historically these players are cash out players the moment an owner can get decent in return. Now is the time to strike.
