At this stage of season, there are usually only a few free agents and most of them are old. The old free agents may be released by teams because they are going to retire at season end and cannot be sold any more.

Many young free agents appear in season start. I believe they are generated by system to fill up retired players' positions.

Young free agents more frequently appear in lower leagues. I guess some players do not have patience or good planning to sell them in market, forced to sell because of debt, or simply do not know how to play.
