To borrow from the descriptor given by Jim Nantz regarding The Masters, it is “A tradition unlike any other.”
Like clockwork, the NFL buying spree of the opening days of free agency gets the nation’s football fans buzzing. And, like clockwork, Ravens fans complain that their beloved team is not making it rain on every receiver, pass-rusher and… did I already say “receiver?”
But it’s a fool’s errand, getting this upset over relative lethargy at the onset of the buying spree. The team won’t start playing games that matter until September, and they will use free agency, the draft, sifting through players cut by other organizations and probably a trade or two to get their roster to a place where they feel they can compete.
