The free-agency period in the NFL is like a game of poker where everybody’s cards are on the table face-up. It’s wild to see who raises with what.

It’s also educational because you learn once again that, despite what anybody says about loyalty, roots, teamwork, location, chemistry or wanting that ring and only that ring, money is everything. In case you had forgotten.
