Free agent visits don’t mean what they used to.
In the last week or so, the Kansas City Chiefs have hosted veteran tight end Benjamin Watson and wide receiver Kendall Wright, two more potential targets for a turbo-boosted offense set to surround first-year starter Patrick Mahomes at quarterback. Typically such visits come with a pretty quick news update stating that the rumor has become official and a player is introduced.
Not so these days in free agency, even though “these days” are literal days from the early period, where a free agent visit is much more meaningful.
