NFL free agency continues to move along, but we are in a bit more of a slow and steady pace on day four. Deals are going to happen and visits will be scheduled, but now we have more of a sort of game of chicken as teams and players stare each other down. I think smart teams are playing the long con and looking to force players into a position to sign slightly less desirable deals.
