DE Dwight Freeney, now of the San Diego Chargers, told CBSSports.com, that the NFL owners are guilty of colluding against the players, and collectively keeping spending down this off-season, especially when it comes to veteran free agents.
ESPN columnist Ashley Fox wrote a terrific column shooting down this theory, and ran an enlightening quote from one personnel executive.
“If the veterans watch film of other veterans, they wouldn’t sign them either,” a former player who is now in personnel with an NFL team told Fox. “No conspiracy theory, just most of the veterans are old, injured and not that good.”
