If it’s nonsense then why do zero free agents worth their salt ever sign here?

 

Peyton Manning

 

Andrew Luck

 

Not even when they were QB…..

 

Facts are not rhetoric even if you don’t want to believe. 

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

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.

These are roster moves may not be exciting, but we have to fill the spots left down the line when two players are missing
