Neil Reynolds is joined by Darren Fletcher ("Fletch") and a late coming Vernon Kay to discuss the whirlwind first week of NFL free agency. They reflect on how teams aggressively spend (and sometimes overspend) to improve their rosters, though Fletcher jokes that this year’s free agency frenzy fizzled out after just 48 hours.
Fletcher, a self-deprecating Bears fan, notes how Chicago often "wins the offseason" but fails to deliver in the regular season, emphasising that success requires more than big signings—coaching and player development are key. Reynolds agrees, citing the Dolphins’ past offseason hype as a cautionary tale.
The tone is lighthearted as they tease Vernon Kay for arriving late, wrapping up a lively chat about the highs, lows, and overreactions of NFL free agency.
