Here’s a fun exercise! Let’s go over a list of players who have signed, or re-signed here after actually hitting free agency (if top free agents don’t want to come here then surely they don’t stay after hitting FA, right?) and where they have ranked in those free agency classes from credible media outlets! 2012 (Per CBS Sports top 100) Reggie Wayne (Re-signed) -22 Cory Redding - 39 Samson Satele - 68 2013 (Per NFL[dot]com top 85) Gosder Cherilus - 46 LaRon Landry - 57 2014 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) Hakeem Nicks - 22 Art Jones - 32 D’Qwell Jackson - 49 2015 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) Andre Johnson - 20 Frank Gore - 29 Trent Cole - 31 Kendall Langford - 64 2016 (Per NFL[dot]com top 99) Patrick Robinson - 79 2017 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) Jonathan Hankins - 11 Jabaal Sheard - 29 Jack Doyle (Re-signed) - 61 John Simon - 64 Darius Butler (Re-signed) - 100 Margus Hunt - 101 2018 (Per anyone and everyone) None 2019 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) Justin Houston - 8 Devin Funchess - 45 Pierre Desir (Re-signed) - 46 Clayton Geathers (Re-signed) - 63 2020 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) Philip Rivers - 11 Anthony Costanzo (Re-signed) - 12 2021 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) TY Hilton (Re-signed) - 33 Eric Fisher - 42 Xavier Rhodes - 53 Marlon Mack (Re-signed) - 79 Al-Quadin Muhammad (Re-signed) - 99 2022 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) Stephon Gilmore - 12 2023 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) Samson Ebukam - 58 Gardner Minshew - 95 2024 (Per NFL[dot]com top 101) Julian Blackmon (Re-signed) - 35 Kenny Moore (Re-signed) - 38 Grover Stewart (Re-signed) - 40 Regardless of how any of these signings actually worked out, it’s time to give the argument that top free agents won’t come here the old yeller treatment and bury it. It’s nonsense. -

Huh? Are you under the impression that a head coach — any head coach — approaches all 17 regular season games like a playoff game? They don’t. So I don’t care what Wash is doing with Daniels, they’re not the same player. Daniels is far more experienced than AR, so how Wash uses JD is going to be different than how Steichen uses AR. So my point is that Steichen can try to do both…. groom Richardson AND win games. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. It can be both. Sorry we see this differently. -

Because we have a GM who won’t really attempt to do business. Ryan Grigson didn’t have a problem landing free agents. Andre Johnson was a superstar when he came here. We didn’t know he was washed up until after he got here and he got out on the field. Does the name “Frank Gore” ring a bell? At all? He’s only a hall of fame player, so maybe you’ve never heard of him. Corey Redding signed here late in his career, and he helped get Pagano’s 3-4 off the ground. Mike Adams came here and promptly made a pair of pro-bowls. Gosder Cherilus was considered one of the best right tackles in the league when he signed here, despite how it turned out. Ahmad Bradshaw came here before injuries derailed his career for good. LaRon Landry was a heavily sought after free agent, and chose to come here to make the bank to buy his juice. Erik Walden came here and far exceeded the deal he was on. Art Jones had a lot of interest around the league when he signed here before injuries and getting hooked up with LaRon Landry’s juice dealer got in the way. D’qwell Jackson signed here after being one of the league’s leading tacklers for the Browns and made a pro bowl that same year. Hakeem Nicks signed here after starting a winning Super Bowl for the Giants and having a 1K+ yards and 10+ TD season. He had multiple 1K yard seasons under his belt on arrival. What about trades? Vontae Davis came here in a trade. Glaze over it with the benefit of hindsight all you want, but Trent Richardson was 1 year removed from being the 3rd overall pick, and had put up 1K yards rushing as a rookie when he landed in town. Hell, even Ballard has been able to land some high quality free agents when he’s actually been willing to make a deal. Philip Rivers and Stephon Gilmore didn’t wind up here because the league told them they had to be here. The facts that these free agents all signed here aren’t untrue simply because you either don’t remember them, or just flat out don’t know them. Luckily someone writes these signings down somewhere for the sake of posterity, so we can look back on those official records and prove that they did in fact happen, despite the claims to the contrary. -
