Makes no sense at all.
First you say they never get the top FA. And then you say, after pointed out they actually do, when they do it’s only because they need to. That’s part of the point of FA.
When do you expect them to go after a top free agent and break the bank?
New England built their team around a GOAT QB they lucked into.
The Eagles traded up to get a franchise QB. Before that they were a Chip Kelly experiment gone horribly wrong.
Minnesota just let all three QBs they had this past season and hope to repeat success with a top QB free agent. They were a Cinderella team this year and won against the odds with a third string QB who they let go. They just got done wasting a HOF career RB with their own QB turnstile.
And Jags are no measure of success. A high powered defense with a go nowhere QB. (Been there done that.) Another one hit wonder. They just barely got back to the playoffs after how long?
All four had a large amount of luck this past year with the exception of NE because of Brady. And we have tried/trying those strategies at one point or another.
I said they've really only spent top FA $$$$ on 4 players in 15 yrs, including Wade when they were a startup.
As for the rest of the post your mind isn't going to be changed even after the Vikings gave 27 mil per yr GUARANTEED to Cousins in addition to what they did in FA.
The Eagles added Jeffery/Smith in FA and I'm pretty sure they also added top tier FA's to their defense.
I already said what the Pats did (Gilmore)
Tell me again what did the Texans do in FA over the last 15 yrs compared to these teams even when they had their QB, (Schaub/Now Watson?)
The Jags are no success in Coughlin's 1st yr? AFCCG and had the Pats on the ropes.
Tell me when has the Texans org reached this point in franchise history?
