With free agency set to begin in just a few weeks, we'll all line up to declare winners and losers before the ink is dry on all the new deals. But time and time again, the teams who actually 'win' free agency are the ones looking for fairly-priced, complementary pieces on the open market and not players who will fill a gaping void on offense or defense. Think the Patriots, not the Bills. Think the Broncos and Panthers, not the Dolphins.

So who are these complementary pieces, you ask? Here is a primer on some of the defensive players at each position who will come at a good bargain with a high upside, assuming they are not tagged or re-signed before the market opens. Bargain is a relative term in this context, as some players will inevitably command a higher price tag than others.

On Tuesday, we tackled offense. Now, it's time for the defense.

our significant FA signings the past 2-3 years:

Coleman - a journeyman that no one even had as a lock to make the squad = probowl snub
Orr - everyone was clowning us for putting trust in him during the offseason = redeemed him Blindside name
Ginn - great PR/KR but no one thought he would be a starting WR = shut everyone up, even Rodney Harrison
Harper - everyone thought he could have retired 2 years ago and no one would blame him = locker room leader
Cotchery - ALL didnt even realize he was still in the league until this year = given the best nickname on the team - Clutchery
Finnegan - on the couch one week = saving our defense the next few weeks
Remmers - could've throw in the towel on his career after 3 season with San Diego = turned into a solid starter
Tillman - probably our biggest most lucrative FA signing = 1 yr @ $3 mill deal :)

Mike Mitchell - turned him from a decent player to a top 3 FS in 1 year

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
