Shopping on the NFL free agent market can be so very tempting. Talented and experienced linemen, pass rushers, wide receivers and cornerbacks available to fill a hole in the roster.
That new starter can be yours with a big enough check. Just be sure to add enough zeros. Being available in free agency does not guarantee sure-fire production.
Just ask the Tennessee Titans. The Titans need only think back a few months to remember the need to spend smartly after busting on not one but two free agents.
They shelled out more than $21 million combined on Vic Beasley and Jadeveon Clowney. Signed to boost a struggling pass rush, Tennessee cut Beasley after three tackles in five games while Clowney went on injured reserve after eight.
