I can sum up what was the most boring opening day in NFL free-agent history outside of one puritan-based, reversed-thinking, spend-happy franchise in four words:
They won the first day of free agency. They’re March’s champs. Remember how for the past two decades as the Miami Dolphins celebrated free-agent signings — Mike Wallace! Ndamunkong Suh! Mario Williams! Byron Jones! — the Dolphins won this day and New England coach Bill Belichick smugly refused to open his piggy bank by the hair of his chinny-chin-chin?
This year the Dolphins did nothing in the first hours of free agency and Dollar Bill became Desperate Bill without quarterback Tom Brady.
