2026 Free Agency Starts Tonight

I’m excited…can’t wait. Looks like next season is shaping up to be a very competitive year and we have a lot of new blood in the league so FA should be interesting to say the least.

League activity at an all time high

Well, the 2024 season is underway, and it seems so far to be a banner year for Outahere. When I look at the number of in season FA signings or trade activity, I see a lot of active teams with plans to win now or rebuild for the future, which is great for the league as [...]
