But as a fan, it also brings an entirely new world of intrigue and excitement. There is no franchise tag in the NBA, which means big-time players swap teams like it’s part of the job. This year alone the NBA saw two stars from this year’s NBA finals depart for new teams. Kevin Durant left the Warriors to join the Nets and Kawhi Leonard left Toronto after winning a championship. Can you imagine if Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers were able to just swap teams?The reality is that the NFL is a completely different animal. The NFL is a team-driven league so the comparison is tough. There are stars in the NFL, no doubt, but even the best player will struggle to bring a championship team. And even when you compile “stars” it doesn’t always work out. Remember the “dream team?”All of this brings me to today’s question of the day:Do you wish NFL free agency was like the NBA?My answer: No. One the on hand T.J. Hockenson Detroit Lions Jersey , I would love the excitement that would come from that type of offseason, but as I fan I get attached to players and I want to see them succeed—with my team.I also enjoy the team-building aspect of the NFL. It’s not always the most talented teams that win, but the best-built and best-coached teams. And maybe most importantly, it would destroy the parity that makes the NFL so great. It’s tough to get excited about what the Pistons have going on right now, but there’s ALWAYS hope with the Lions.Tweets from https://twitter.com/PrideOfDetroit/lists/lions-coverage The Chicago Bears are still likely recovering from their heartbreaking last-second loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild card round of the playoff last Sunday night. Unfortunately for them T.J. Hockenson Jersey 2019 , the Bears suffered another big loss this week.As first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio will be leaving the team to take the head coaching job with the Denver Broncos:Fangio has been the architect of the Bears’ defense that has been one of the most dominant units over the past couple years. He was so good at his job that when head coach Matt Nagy took over last season, he made sure to keep Fangio on staff. In his four years with the Bears, Chicago ranked 20th (2015), 24th (2016) White T.J. Hockenson Jersey , ninth (2017) and first (2018) in points per game allowed. This is undoubtedly a big hit to the Bears defense, but the talent on that side of the ball can’t be denied either. Only time will tell how impacted Chicago will be by the coaching change, but it certainly feels like the Bears may have missed out on a big opportunity this year with Fangio still running the defense.Elsewhere in the NFL, it appears the Browns will be promoting offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens to be their next head coach. Update: It looks like there’s a surprise candidate in Chicago to replace Fangio. Todd Bowles, who was thought to be joining Bruce Arians with the Buccaneers Youth T.J. Hockenson Jersey , is reportedly in the mix for the Bears’ coaching vacancy: Update 2: Bowles has re-committed back to Tampa. The Bears will have to look elsewhere for a replacement.
