General managers will then move onto which players on their roster will be cut or not resigned, either due to salary constraints or play on the field. Now armed with a clearer overall view of the franchise, the GM must add the missing pieces, via resigning own players, trading, and free agent additions. With the compressed time frame for all of these activities it makes preparation, adaptability and execution even more vital. All the player movement in such a short span will inevitably led to desperation on the part of some franchises. Teams who are slow to react or do not have a clear idea of the exact moves they want to make will fall behind the better prepared teams. Simply missing out on resigning a key player could start a disastrous change of events where a franchise is forced to scramble to fill roster spots. Clearly, teams with strong pro player personnel staffs will have a great advantage. Teams with detailed player evaluations, strong salary capologists, and a cohesive vision of the franchise will also have an easier time adjusting to what will be an extremely fast moving, fluid situation. Just as we judge players on how they perform under the pressure of the biggest stages, for the first time ever fans can watch how the front offices handle the most hectic and intense week in NFL off season history. Is your team ready?
