Mike Vrabel and Eliot Wolf have shifted their free agency philosophy toward a calculated, value-driven approach that prioritizes “second contract” players. This strategy focuses on players who have completed their rookie deals and are entering their physical primes, typically aged 25 to 27. Unlike the high-priced, aging…
