Get ready for a rude awakening. Free Agency has killed small market teams in other sports. Yes, you can build a championship team through the draft for a year or two in other leagues with small market teams that don't use Free Agency. But once those players hit the free agency of that respected team then they are gone.
One of the former NFL players I spoke with was Leon Searcy. He said he had no desire whatsoever to play for Mike Brown. Was going to visit Cincy for a FA visit as a favor to Dick LeBeau and because Willie Anderson was a personal friend, but he signed on elsewhere before the waste of a visit ever took place. Told me that was the reputation then and it still is now. Another player, whose name I won't mention, never came close to playing for CIN but echoed everything else we've heard.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.
