This is the Worst Free Agency I've Ever Seen since Burrow was Drafted.

That requires a different mindset than they had for 30 years+.

I know it's a different sport and all, but that reminds me of when I was living in Pittsburgh about a decade ago when they hit on Andrew McCutcheon and some other homegrown talent and had their first winning season in 20+ years because they had all these young talent guys on short-term low contracts.  The city was going nuts, but there was also a vibe of "Enjoy this while you can, because this franchise can't afford to put anything but a losing roster on the field."

I have mad respect for Pirates fans, because rooting for a team that is owned by people who flat-out can't afford to pay competent baseball players makes being a Bengals fan look like a cakewalk.
