WHY DO WE STAGGER FREE AGENCY BY POSITION?
To control the number of open bids
Help teams focus on a targeted group of players and fill needs slowly (helps us guys)
Keeps the Transaction Board cleaner for bidding (FA don't get pushed to a 3rd page and buried)
It works and ain't broken so why mess with a good thing. LOL
