And yea, I know there's still quite a lot of day left, but just once I'd like to be excited about the team within the first few hours of FA.
There was half a billion dollars shed last week in salary cap, most of it from FA in the last two years. In reality most these deals today won't work out. I saw a stat yesterday that said basically only Tom Brady has worked out in terms of QB's signed in FA for more than 15+ per year in the last decade. In comparison, multiple guys that were "bargain" bin actually did something for their teams (Baker, Darnold, Geno Smith, etc).
Everyone wants shiny toys but legit most these are bad deals but because there is nothing else to do everyone wants their team to win FA.
