You may remember that at around this time last season, ESPN analyst Bill Barnwell’s ranking of the best and worst NFL offseasons had the Seattle Seahawks at the very bottom of the list, while the Denver Broncos were numero uno. I’ll leave it at that.
In fairness to Bill, he had the Philadelphia Eagles at No. 2 and they reached the Super Bowl, and the Arizona Cardinals were No. 30 and stunk the place out. We all have big whiffs at some point but in this particular context the Seahawks and Broncos rankings look a bit on the embarrassing side.
