The free agency period never ceases in the NFL. Players are signed virtually every day of the calendar year, and general managers never stop the pursuit of talent. Free agency is free flowing.
Still, June is a time of reflection rather than a transitional period in the free agency cycle. Statistically, the NFL no longer counts the loss or signing of unrestricted free agencs after June 1 when it begins the mysterious compensatory draft choice tabulations. So, the movement of 111 unrestricted free agents to new teams was the fourth most in the 11 years of free agency, and with the exceptions of Bills, Falcons, Vikings and maybe the Redskins, major adjustments weren't made in the league's power elite.
