Exciting news for the podcast! We're supported by Audible, the leading audiobook provider on the internet. Today, Norse Code talks about free agency, both specific signings and the platitudes you hear every year:

Episode Notes:
- The logic makes sense, but here's a really good model for why free agency is a "loser's market," here referred to as the "winner's curse."
- Sometimes, we don't really know what's going through the minds of players during free agency, but MMQB has a really interesting story on the process involving former Detroit Lions safety Louis Delmas.
- I have a few takes on the free agency signings. The detailed takes aren't up yet, but my quick reactions are. My reaction to the Everson Griffen deal is here—and I talk more than just about his skills. My take on Linval Joseph is here, where I talk a little about his versatility.
- The Jerome Simpson take is here, although it's not special. And my reaction to the Captain Munnerlyn signing is at the same website as the others, here.
- I wasn't around for the Derek Cox deal, but one of the other writers at VT was. I combined my reactions to Matt Cassel and Marcus Sherels. We also had a fantastic story written by one of our other writers on him.
