Welcome to the Friday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
This is it. This is the calm before the storm, so please enjoy it.
Starting next week, NFL free agency will be kicking off, and things will likely get wild. Although free agency doesn’t technically start until Wednesday (March 13), the legal tampering period starts on Monday (March 11) at noon ET and that’s when the nonstop news will likely start.
We’ll be going all-in on free agency today with landing spots for several stars, and we’ll also be taking a look at why Pittsburgh would actually be a good landing spot for Russell Wilson.
