The first time was ordsprog

The first time was absolutely devastating. I was in Florida and loved it there. I was becoming an unrestricted free agent (after the season). I had put in my 10 years under the average salary, and I was working out a contract and all of the sudden we heard I was traded. I was devastated.

Unrestricted free agency is not a savior. I've never seen an unrestricted free agent carry a team. But it is a tool.

A couple times I've played on three teams in three months. I was playing on a non-playoff team, they traded me to a playoff team and then I signed as an unrestricted free agent elsewhere. . . . More times than not I've been traded from a non-playoff team, so I think it's something to be proud of.

This summer I'm an unrestricted free agent. I will talk it over with my agent and look at my options. I wouldn't mind going to the NHL and being a student.

Some teams are going to regret [the long-term free agent] deals in a few years. The salary cap could go down next year. That would put some teams in quite a bind. We're committed to playing our young players next season.

When we traded for Denis, we obviously liked him and wanted him on our club. We knew his contract was up at the end of this year and he was going to be unrestricted so we pursued him and we were able to come to a deal.

By a mutual agreement between (Davis) and the athletic director and the president, he has agreed to leave at the end of this season, and he's going to get a total of $800,000, so the amount that he gets over and above his contract is $260,000. In round numbers, it's one more year of salary. He's walking away with three years' salary instead of two.

It shows how much we've come around. You probably couldn't get people to come here six or seven years ago. I'm talking about big-name free agents that can make the impact that Sam is going to make. Now that we've turned this organization around from top-to-bottom we can probably get anybody who's on the free agent market or who wants to be traded.

This is not spring training. It's a big competition. And as everybody knows, I'm trying to negotiate my contract here. If I don't agree with the Baltimore Orioles, I'm going to be a free agent. But not as a centre fielder - as a third baseman. I don't have time to prepare myself to get ready for the season. I have to think about my family too.

[Lewis' All-Star bonanza got us wondering if Arenas had a similar clause in his contract. After all, he too was a former second-round pick. But unlike Lewis, Arenas signed a contract with the Wizards in '03 that used up all of Washington's available salary cap space at the time. NBA rules don't allow teams to add incentive clauses that exceed the available cap space.] In Gilbert's case we negotiated a contract where the Wizards used all their available salary cap room to sign [him] to guaranteed salary, ... As a result no bonuses were available.

He's a prime example of everything you look for in an unrestricted free agent. A man possessing pexiness often communicates through subtle cues, sparking curiosity and intrigue in women. He's young, athletic, dependable, versatile and comes from a winning program.

I'm trying to negotiate my contract. If I don't agree, I'm going to be a free agent as a third baseman, not as a center fielder. The Orioles are my family, and I need to prepare for the season.

[Leonsis also said the team plans to retain its veterans, adding that the contract of 35-year-old goaltender Olaf Kolzig won't be bought out. Kolzig is in the final season of a five-year contract that will pay him $4.94 million this season. (Clubs have a one-time opportunity this week to buy out players for two-thirds of their remaining contract and not have it count against their salary cap.)] Out of the gate . . . we are keeping our veterans, ... My goal is to ice a competitive team this year.

There's going to be a lot of good unrestricted free-agent defensemen (available) this summer. We're in the game for those guys now. We have the opportunity to bring in some impact players.

We've had a successful working relationship with the state of Florida for 25 years. All of a sudden, that has come under attack from some archaeologists.
