Most people here ignore all the bad free agent moves when they claim that it is so simple to get over the hump by signing a "good" free agent.
Redskins signed Josh Norman and got worse. Texans signed Osweiller and did not improve. Broncos signed two new starting OTs and got worse. Cardinals signed Evan Mathis and Tyvon Branch and got a lot worse.
Did the Redskins and Cardinals get worse because they signed those guys? Or was it some other reason(s)? The Broncos had nowhere to go but down after winning the title (with numerous key FA's that played huge roles).
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
