The author expresses surprise at their own inclination to retain a significant percentage of these players, initially believing that only a fraction would be worth extending. This change in viewpoint arises from recognizing that many will fill backup roles on low-cost contracts, making them easier to retain without significantly affecting the salary cap. The author anticipates upcoming player extensions as the new league year begins.
It's surprising how many of Washington's impending free agents I want to retain, closer to 65% or 80% instead of the expected one-third to one-half.
Most of these free agents will likely sign low-cost contracts, as many fill backup roles that are easily replaceable without a heavy salary cap impact.
