This is dumb article.
First off, the current free agency "threshold" isn't four years, it's SIX years.
The only "key" free agent this offseason is Derrick Johnson.
Bowe won't be eligible until after the 2013 season and Flowers that 2014 season.
It's stupid to speculate if that will change because most likely, teams will decertify the union and the NFL will play under current rules until a new CBA can be ratified.
The last time this happened, it took nearly five years to put a new CBA in place and I wouldn't be shocked if it's years before a new CBA is in place.
Either way, this article is as baseless as it is pointless. Four years was the threshold for RESTRICTED free agency, meaning the team could match or be compensated with draft picks if an RFA was signed.
