Avril has said it's all down to this week, and considering that Madden 23 coins the free agency deadline is right around the corner Avril is right. Avril has players who are like Dwight Freeney, Paul Kruger and Michael Johnson to compete with on the market for free, however Avril is expected to be able to fetch more than any of those players.

However, he did have a slow performance in 2012 by his standards. That could be the reason the Lions hesitate to give him the big salary. It's unlikely that teams within the league feel the same in the same way, though. It's unlikely that his poor year will dissuade potential buyers, as you can see here. It is interesting to see what happens.

If you're looking for a insider's guide to free-agents but you'll be disappointed in the video of the two general mangers. If you're looking to have some amusement and a reminder that being a Madden NFL 23 general manager isn't that different from other offices, you can appreciate the six minutes of playing.

My top takeaways from this call:

1. Buddy Nix does not have the knowledge of vital 20th Century technology, like the telephone, but he's also not completely elderly. The man is aware that draft picks are the best way to go in the Madden NFL 23. So it could be that he's aboard that high-tech analytics train.

2. Ryan Fitzpatrick is a backup quarterback and his manager madden 23 coins buy is aware of that. Nix has a complaint about the QB whom he signed seven-year, $62 million extension in 2011.
