Defensive tackle Jay Bromley expected his free-agent experience to go differently this year.
After four years in a reserve role with the New York Giants, Bromley figured he would have some suitors in free agency last March, but that wasn't the case.
Two months later, Bromley accepted an invitation to New Orleans Saints rookie minicamp where he had to tryout alongside several undrafted rookies. During those three days of practice, Bromley impressed enough for the Saints to sign him, finally ending his disappointing time without a job.
As a nose tackle, Bromley has a chance to make the roster, but after receiving such little interest in free agency, he knows he has to make significant strides as a player.
