As far as free agency, I'd expect a similar approach to what we've seen in the past. However, I don't think that what happens with Rivers, Rhodes or Autry will really dictate whether or not we sign someone in free agency.

I don't see Rivers coming back unless he signs a very low deal. He won't be better next year than he was this year and this year proved he's not going to lead the team to a SB.
