UPDATED AS OF 2 PM MT
Prior to free agency we looked at the top 100 free agents of 2014; well, a lot has happened since free agency started on Tuesday. We wanted to update the list by removing those who have signed with a team and adding players who have been released. That left us with about 50, so we made it nice and even.
Recall, to compile this list I took 17 top player lists from reliable and respected media sources and averaged them together.
