As NFL free agency begins, a word of advice for Patriots fans: RELAX!

Will you sit for a minute? Just take a beat? Listen. Before you submerge yourself in the 2023 FREE AGENT FRENZY!!!!! and start mainlining the empty calories of news, rumors, tweets and which player started following which team on Twitter, remember this:

Among the teams that "won" the 2022 offseason were the Denver Broncos, New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. By January, those three had a fired head coach, a failed franchise quarterback and a sad Tom Brady, respectively. And they combined for zero playoff wins.

Also, remember this: The most needle-moving trades of the 2022 offseason were the Commanders getting Carson Wentz, the Chargers acquiring Khalil Mack, Cleveland securing Amari Cooper, Denver getting Russell Wilson, Indy getting Matt Ryan, Vegas trading for Davante Adams, Miami getting Tyreek Hill and the Eagles getting A.
