NFL free agency isn’t the way to build a championship, yet every year teams open up their wallets to bring in high-priced veterans. Furthermore, there are many occasions in which players never live up to expectations after joining new teams.
There have been times when adding a big-name player has propelled teams to the desired next level. The 1994 San Francisco 49ers won a Super Bowl, thanks in part to the new addition of Deion Sanders, who dominated opposing receivers that season.
However, more often than not, teams that spend big money on free agents end up with bitter disappointment when it’s all said and done.
