Hope that makes sense. Thanks Jeff

I figured that was the case, but I was hoping that the players marked "Free Agents" would stay as "Free Agents" and be available for instant-sign like they are during the season. I've been doing a massive amount of 'homework' heading into my first offseason, and for a short while there I was making a list called "Definitely Sign" but now I'm realizing that list should be called "Put in a waiver claim and most likely not get it".
