I've never seen a full on study about UFA signings overall value and agree there's many instances where the new team gets burned in FA. That Bennett kid our Rams signed years ago (WR) was a total bust and waste of money. But sometimes a FA comes available and the new team scores. Reggie White is the extreme but I can give you more examples. How about Whitworth last year for us? Or Sully? Both came in and we got exactly what we were hoping for. Robey and Barwin were pretty good too. And usually when a FA doesn't work out is because of age or injury. Suh is still fairly young and has been playing at a high level. Of course he's gonna be expensive but if we can make the dollars work he's certainly an upgrade over Smart.
