The FA ratings are very much in the still to be reviewed section. I can only think either ZIPS or the baseline projections from some other sources we used where ZIPS wasn't available probably overrated some of these guys. Or there may've been some anomalies in the import as well.
For sure we've seen that a bunch of contact ratings for marginal players (not only free agents) came in way too hot for whatever reason, and it's been a bit like playing whack a mole trying to get them down.
