I'm not going to be as critical and frustrated over losses moving forward as they could end up being positive in the long run.
I absolutely disagree with the free agency take and believe the exact opposite. Professional players comprehend this situation much better than us, they understand that we are dead in the water, they know we are different team with Burrow. Why would they NOT want to come with better draft picks and easier schedule to the Super Bowl?
Also, every single one of our good free agents that left went to crap teams this year.
Becsause most professional athletes are looking at their own production as a way to sell themselves during their next contract negotiation. Does anyone really beleive for a second a player is going to go out there and play like crap on purpose when they know everything they do is taped and will be looked at when contracts roll around. And, that goes for coaches as well. The only people, and I mean the only people who beleive in tanking on purpose is the fan.
