Well, there is a serious thought in this opine. How often does hiring another team’s throwoffs really benefit our team? On the other hand, drafting, developing, and resigning our own guys seems to me a better route to take especially in the long run.
Keep in mind a team always tries to retain their best guys.
Back in 2006, the rebuild through free agency did work especially when we snatched Drew Brees. Even then he was considered damaged goods.
