NFL Free Agency, like the Draft, is impossible for those of us on the outside to predict.
(Which is pretty much all of them when you’ve been 4-13 two seasons in a row.)
But there are a billion factors we’re not privy to.

Intangibles, and the like.
The priority was to stock the roster with tough, reliable, high character types.
To fill the locker room with Alphas.
The head coach/defacto GM said so without actually saying it.
It was woven into every answer he gave.
And therein lies a great point.
Therefore he’s been able to attract assistants who have as well.
That Carlton Davis is worth the risk because Terrell Williams worked with him in Detroit.
The new veteran right tackle who was brought to be a leader:
The No.
Oh, and who had two passes defensed in the NFC championship game.
Williams was the youngest top tier free agent to hit the market.
But right now I’d have to say it’s so far, so good.
But there’s no reason to stop signing more guys like these.
