We're still not in good shape at LB. Any ideas?

Many fans act like every team in the league upgrades in free agency, but that just is not true. Every good free agent added by a team is a loss to another team. Too many fans just look at additions and ignore losses. A team can sign a couple of expensive free agents, but if they also lose a couple they are not improving their roster.

When you look at free agency across the entire league it is a zero net sum gain. For every addition there is a subtraction. So you can not ignore our signings of Brown and Dennard. Preventing a loss of talent is important and counts as a free agent move.

That’s not entirely accurate. It depends on the players and the roster. A team can sign younger, better players while losing over paid aging veterans. So while the zero sum game of sign two, lose two may be in effect, the team could still improve itself
