Free agency is fools gold. There’s a reason why teams let these guys walk.

(Emphasis added)

Not necessarily. Smart teams have been able to add in free agency and help propel them to Super Bowls.

Tampa signed guys like Suh, Barrett, JPP, Brady, Fournette and Antonio Brown and those additions led them to the championship.

The year before, the Chiefs added guys like the Honey Badger and Sammy Watkins to win the Super Bowl.

Before then, the Eagles added guys like Malcolm Jenkins and Alshon Jeffery in free agency and won it.

This has been the case dating back to the advent of free agency, when the 49ers added Deion Sanders and Ken Norton Jr to lead them to the Super Bowl, Dallas adding Deion Sanders the next year and winning it all for the 3rd time in four years, and the Packers adding Sean Jones and Reggie White in free agency to win it all in 1996.

In order to reach those levels, this team has to be smart...and willing to spend smartly.

It's too soon to tell if this team will do that.

THANK YOU!

This whole "there's a reason these guys are free agents" narrative is really dumb. Lots of really good players (Calais Campbell, Malik Jackson, Tashaun Gipson) hit free agency for a multitude of reasons. This season in particular because the salary cap is about 16 million less than it was last year.
