The 10 biggest laughing stocks of free agency are described as such not necessarily because they aren’t (or weren’t once) fine players.
Although some of them are far past their prime.
But the main reason why teams would be foolish to sign them is because of the likely very high asking price.
Maybe the aging veterans whose production has dwindled would take a reduced deal, one-year to hang or try to resurrect their career. But that’s not likely.
And maybe the free agents who aren’t over the hill, aren’t seeking contracts far better than they’re worth.
That’s not likely either.
