With that in mind, each year around this time, we like to take a look at some of the contract details from the early part of the free-agent period and educate you a little bit on interesting quirks and differences in them.

Many of these offers have not yet been officially signed -- an especially important point to remember in this, the year of the delayed physical -- and therefore some of their details could be subject to change. But for the most part, these are accurate details, and they illustrate some interesting aspects of the league's financial landscape.
