The madness of free agency will soon be here. I, for one, think we should embrace it. And with that in mind, the first in our series of shows on free agency, a position-by-position breakdown of the talent hitting the market on the offensive side of the ball.

Subscribe to The MMQB: 10 Things Podcast and it will be waiting in your feed first thing Monday morning. (For non-subscribers, there is sometimes a lag.) The offense free agency show will be available soon...

Andy and I rank first and second in the world in terms of socialest media, so come say hi and send a question or two. The mailbag will be on Mondays throughout the offseason, and as always we’ll answer as many questions as humanly possible:
