[QUOTE="Southpaw, post: 430546, member: 5186"] I don't get what this has to do with anything Signing a Free Agent will only turn a profit if that player is attributing to your team winning. And a Free Agent who can help your team win is not a bad thing. A free agent's worth is based on what he does for your team on the field. Once again Free Agency is gone about different ways by organizations. When people on here think of Free Agency after seeing what Ted likes to do, they think of Free Agency as this kiss of death. People here like the think of FA involves finding the best player available in Free Agency and regardless of his off the field issues, whether he fits into their scheme or hew old he is and they pay him a ridiculous amount of money. But not every team does this. You can still sign Free Agents to your squad, that can help your team and not have to pay very much. We like to pride our organization on having a great eye for talent, but yet we still look at Free Agency like we are emptying our pockets and killing our team and our future. Does anybody see what the Patriots do? They build through the draft and sign cheap Free Agents that deliver for their team and they aren't burning money, killing their locker room or giving up their draft picks. Once again, this is false and really only applies to the BPA in Free Agency. Not every player in Free Agency is going to be demanding a big contract and if you are a good negotiator you can get them at a reasonable price. Plus, if you have a winning team or your team is going places, you have a higher chance of getting a player at a lower price. Players go to the Redskins to get paid, not to play football. The Redskins suck, but Free Agents know that Dan Snyder will pay them whatever they want if they sign there. Players know that if they sign with the Patriots or Packers, they know they are going to be part of a winning organization that has a high probability of winning a superbowl and thus, I think more players would be willing to negotiate [B][/B] How are Free Agent additions any more of unknown commodities than Draft Picks? If anything you'll know more about a Free Agent than a Draft Pick. At least Free Agents are used to a professional NFL locker rooms. Some college players coming into the pro's don't know how to handle adjusting to the Pro's. And once again a good talent scout will know how a player will fit into your team, whether he is a team player, has a good attitude or what have you [/QUOTE]
