Some Bengal fans claim free agents won't come here, but they go to bad teams every year.  In fact bad teams usually make more big signings than good teams.

Ehhhhhhh

Not really true. They just make the big ones we all remember because they were lol levels of failure.

From my admittedly imprecise handcount, there were 18 contracts of $40m+ handed out to non-QB free agents last year. (Not counting trade-and-extensions.)

9 went to teams who either have a winning record and/or are winning their division.
3 went to teams who have a .500 record and are not winning their division.
6 went to teams who are sub-.500.

2 of the league's 5 10-win teams are represented among those 14 contracts.
0 of the league's 1-2 win teams are represented among those 14 contracts.
