Last year we brought in an OT who was among the top 10 in salary for his position and an ILB who salary among the top half of the league at his.
But how many of the final 4 teams have been very passive in free agency?
Pointing out that "some teams lose even with free agents" doesn't change the fact that the top teams were active.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
