I can't speak for how Paul Brown would have adapted to modern free agency, but I'm guessing that he may have learned to embrace it a little better than his son has chosen to do.

PB hated Free Agency.  He was there at the beginning of it and it dismantled his first SB team, with help from the USFL.  And this is what Mike has clung to.
