NFL free agency is supposed to be a time for optimism and joy.
Perhaps your favorite team landed that pass rusher or cornerback you were hoping it would sign. Or maybe it got a new receiver and you’re refreshing the team store’s page to see when you can order a jersey. You can’t wait until the start of the season.
There’s a flip side to free agency. Some teams have seen a lot of talent walk out the door. Others have made some signings that everyone knows won’t work out. And for some truly unfortunate fans, Bill O’Brien is running their franchise.
