Indeed. But the point remains that Super Bowl contenders do improve through free agency.
It's a fallacy to think that contenders only improve through the draft.
Just imagine if we signed a LB that could cover a TE a couple years ago? Or if we upgraded at Center?
Now our roster has declined through losing free agents to the point it doesn't matter.
