The feeding frenzy that associates the NFL legal tampering window is exhausting. Fans watch as the biggest names in free agency agree to terms on record-breaking deals with teams around the league. Fans of teams led by general managers who are not inclined to get sucked into league-wide bidding wars are left feeling unsatisfied.
As I discussed earlier, there are legitimate reasons frustration and the feeling that the front office is sitting on its hands. Vastly overpaying for “B” rate talent is a bad organizational philosophy and avoiding these types of free agent gaffes will most certainly pay off in the long run but some players who hit free agency are worth overpaying in the short-term.
