<i>The June Swoon has been discussed for weeks in NFL. Most NFL coaches and general managers are looking to June 1 for some magical waiver wire to restock the already depleted free-agent pool.
ENOUGH ALREADY. The June market will be a bigger letdown than those teams in the AFC East and AFC West hoping that two additional playoff teams would be added this fall. Though I've been saying for years that the June market is overrated, next month's list may convince teams not to count on June 1 or even promoting it as options.
Teams are doing so much better managing their salary caps that the June market of this year and future years should be minuscule. Only in years in which the salary cap goes up $1 million or less will the June market improve. Don't expect it.
