I mean, we're still working behind the scenes for sure. In fact, I got something fun today. We're going to talk about the top skill position free agents or potential free agents, I guess I should say in this year's class with NFL free agency rapidly approaching here. It's not, you know, we're month out. We're month out. We're going to franchise tags very soon.

It's pretty cool. Like I said, hey NASCAR. I know I know some people are thing it's corny NASCAR DFS kind of fun. Not going to lie a little bit a little bit. But we're not going to talk about that on the show today. Let's dive into these free agents.

Free agency starting mid March March 17th. So technically speaking, I guess we are precisely a month out. We'll get some news on franchise tags here soon. We also have some potential players who aren't free agents who will be on the move.

So if there are any big trades, of course, we'll cover that on the podcast anything like the you know, well, the staffer and golf thing already have been over that.

But you know, if to Sean Watson is on the move, of course, and wins is on the move. Heck, even if Sam Darnel's on the move, we will talk about that. But for now, the big name at quarterback is Mr. Dak Prescott.

As of this point, we we don't have any clarity in terms of what Dallas is going to do. But I do have my hypothesis. I really think that what we're going to see is Dallas used the franchise tag for the second straight year that gives him flexibility because at the franchise tag level, he's going to play it just under $38 million.

I think technically it's like 37 seven. That's a lot of money. I mean, unless you play in the NBA, but that's a lot of money.

But it actually is probably cheaper than what they're going to have to pay him for a long term deal. And so the thought process here is they tag him, see what he does here this year because remember he is coming back from a pretty devastating injury.

And if all looks well, okay, now you freaking pay him. I do think he stays in Dallas. I don't think there's any way that he hits the open market.

And honestly, for Dak, that's not really a bad deal. It's not it's not a great deal. It's not, you know, 200 million guaranteed or something crazy like that.

But you're getting paid. He will be the second highest paid or third highest paid with the third highest paid quarterback in the NFL this year.

I mean, not too shabby and guaranteed to not too shabby. So not terrible. I think he stays in Dallas. I think that's obviously good for him. I'm not really concerned about the Dallas offense.

I think they're going to look good next year. I have a lot of nice pieces in place. They're obviously believe it or not. The number two name on my list because I did rank these out.

Of course, I do have my top free agents big board over at FTN fantasy.com. You can check that bad boy out. Now it's every free agent. It's not just the skill guys. I'm only going to go over the skill guys here because they have the biggest impact for fantasy purposes, but every free agent there. So I have my big board up.

But the next guy on my list is Ryan Fitzpatrick. Hey, he's 38 years old this year. But he can still be a starter. Honestly, if you are a team like, I don't know New England who might need a quarterback for the short term.
