Spagnola: Taking Big Hacks In Free Agency Can Produce Too Many Foul Balls

IRVING, Texas – So the haranguing continues.

The Cowboys are whiffing in free agency. The Cowboys are swinging and missing in free agency. What’s the problem?

Seen ‘em all in headlines, on the internet, in Tweets, incessantly heard on talk radio, and assuming all with intent to inflame the uninitiated instead of disseminating cold, hard, rational facts.

Look, as in baseball, you can swing and make contact, right? But when it comes to NFL free agency, I guarantee you that contact will produce more costly foul balls than productive drives into the gaps. You rarely, if ever find bang for your buck in free agency.
