The NFL has only seen something like the LeBron James sweepstakes in the NBA only once, during the first year of unrestricted free agency. "Today, there's simply no way that an elite player would be able to hold the entire NFL hostage by nonchalantly entertaining huge-money offers and pulling the sheet off his selection in a cheesy made-for-TV event," writes Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. "The best NFL players don't become unrestricted free agents; they sign long-term extensions, they toil as year-to-year franchise players, or they get traded to a team that will give them the long-term deal they covet." Many believe that the attention LeBron has received this summer will likely led the NFL to keep the franchise tag system in their next collective bargaining agreement.
