Looking Ahead - The 2023 Free Agent Class is the best there has been in years

With this year's free agency period already well underway, some teams are looking towards the future. That includes next year's free agent class, which is looking much deeper than this year's class. With next year's free agent day shifting back to July 1st, we wanted to take a look at next year's group.

There is a very good chance that many of these players will sign extensions before next season, but with the cap expected to rise it could push more players to test free agency.

It will be interesting to see how many of these players make it to free agency or if they're traded for and signed before then.
