Free agency is upon us. Everywhere you look, there is a top-50 list of the best free agents, or projected free-agent landing spots. This week on The MMQB Podcast, I had a spirited argument with my cohost, Albert Breer, about the merits of this particular class. He said it was terrible. I thought, given the context of a bad draft class and the actual quality of the names available in veteran free agency, that it could be among the most consequential in recent memory. Like we saw with the Seahawks last year, the right seasoning of veteran talent can make all the difference.
It’s with that in mind that I put together my own personal dream free agency. I’ve picked a couple of scenarios and imagined how I would attack a situation if I were in the shoes of certain NFL general managers. I tried to focus on GMs with massive responsibilities ahead, either turning around a dormant franchise or pushing a contender over the edge.
