Upcoming Free Agents & Pos Wanted Pages

Two things I think would be great additions:

Upcoming free agents page. I'd like to see the players that are currently in the final year of their contract. It would be an easy way to see who may be coming available.

Position Wanted Page. Owners could list all positions they would like to trade for. If I'm looking for a RB, other teams would be able to see that.

Problem with number 1 is teams have until the End of Season stage to sign pending FAs.

Would the page constantly update after players are then signed before the End of season stage? Which means the most accurate list of players availability would be the first day of FA as it is now.

I like #2 ...

No that just advertises players you're looking to deal, sure you can put a note on the player card what you're looking for, but it would be a whole lot easier to click on a teams homepage and have a note from the owner or maybe even suggestions from the CPU, (Head Coach) on what the teams needs are.

Not sold on the first idea, I like the idea that if an owner is not paying attention can miss out on FAs.

But I've been banging on about the second suggestion for some time now.

+1 (second suggestion)

But given the expiring contracts, the quality of the player, and the amount of cap space the team has left, one can make some educated guesses about who will be available. It's definitely helpful to have a good idea of what might be available on the market; for example, if you can see that multiple WRs need to be re-signed, then odds are at least a couple of them will enter free agency, and that can help you make decisions about re-signing your own WRs (re-sign if they're better than pending FAs, or don't re-sign if they're worse).

But you don't know what the soon to be free agents will be asking plus what the market demands are on the player. I would honestly rather (ok its more sarcasm) have 0 FA signings the first day to let market establish itself.
