Every March the NFL buries the top free agents in sweet, sweet mostly non-guaranteed money. Then one year later, some of them are already on different rosters, others are trending toward being cut, and there's a strong stench of failure in the air.
With some exceptions (looking at you, New York Giants), free agency isn't how a well-managed team solves its problems. No, free agency is how problems are created, and how the Houston Texans came to rely on Brock Osweiler.
That was one disaster from the 2016 free-agency period. Close behind Jones is the contract the Jacksonville Jaguars gave Chris Ivory.
