Drew Brees @ #1 makes perfect sense. It's easy to forget now, but when the Saints were forced out of New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina, they played some home games in San Antonio and were strongly considering moving there. There's a decent chance New Orleans doesn't have a team anymore without him. That's where he gets the edge over Reggie White.
Can't blame SD for moving on from him but also can't help but think if there would still be an NFL franchise there if he would have stayed.
@@Ill06Taco There we go. That move might have affected the history of 2 franchises.
@@lucashenderson2775 Rivers could have taken them to the promised land but the organization let him down so many times. I think Brees dodged a bullet
@@Ill06Taco Absolutely. AJ Smith blew it, he should've stayed out of Marty's way. That team could've brought him a Super Bowl.
Underrated legend, Drew Brees.
Peyton Manning set the NFL record with 55 touchdown passes in 2013 and surpassed Brett Favre for most touchdown passes on the all-time list in 2014! Manning definitely had more record setting moments in Denver than in Indianapolis ever since signing with the Broncos as a free agent in 2012 and after undergoing season-ending neck surgery with the Colts in 2011!
Yep he played 3 good years lol so did Brady yet Brady accomplished wayy more
@@jstewlly4747 Brady also had wayy better coaching and defenses throughout his career
@@jstewlly4747 I'm sorry what they both won a superbowl with their new teams and manning got to 2 of them while Brady did one I'd argue that manning was a more successful fa signing
It would aàAvsa hub
Go, broncos!
Drew Brees going to the NOLA saints , like for real that instantly changed that franchise , sadly it brought them only one Super Bowl title with him but man they had some severe bad luck especially in that 2018 championship game GRR
always will b my biggest heartbreak as a sports fan
Took years .. Deion was quicker
If the Saints had had a defense to go with that offense (outside of the Super Bowl year), Brees would have probably won a couple more.
I remember that day. I still have PTSD from it 😂
I will always remember Drew he gave us so many incredible memories. See you in Canton in 2026!
All time Passing Yards Leader for like 1 week
Till Brady pasted him In 2022
@@HTV315 hating for no reason
@@IsaiahBurleson it’s true Brady was better in yards but Brees broke the record first
@@HTV315brady just played longer🤷🏾♂️
that's my goat always and forever
Brady should probably be higher but I cant disagree with Brees at 1. He legitimately changed that franchise
Tampa Bay getting TB12 was a superb free agent signing
He'll Still Always Be The G.O.A.T🐐 Without A Doubt.
@@tyreepowell8367 and a crybaby, and a cheater
@@tyreepowell8367 🤓
New England letting him go was a bigger mistake.
@@stuartdollar9912I don’t know if it was as much NE letting him leave as it was BB pushing him away. Brady loved NE but BB never seemed to give Brady any ounce of admiration or affection as a player, and I think Brady desperately wanted even an ounce of that from him.
Fun fact, William Shakespeare was the first ever Steelers pick
Hate to admit it, but the Chiefs ALWAYS know a good runner when they see one. They never miss.
VERY happy to see Rich Gannon getting some love. I have no idea what my Raiders saw in him but I'm glad they did. Leading the '02 squad to the Superbowl after the Tuckrule and subsequent coaching change is a very underrated achievement.
The origin of free agency and The Minister of Defense will forever be intertwined. Soon as Reggie did what he did in another team's uniform, everyone knew free agency was a good idea.
And Drew Brees finally gets to be #1 on a list!!! Hooray! He's just as intertwined with New Orleans as Reggie is with free agency itself.
While I do agree with you on everything you said, I would put Reggie White at number 1.
@@cooperwolfe5478 You could make a case for White. You could also make a case for Deion Sanders, who jumped twice and won Super Bowls with both teams he jumped to. Brees is a pretty good case though. He led New Orleans offense for over a decade once the Saints got him from San Diego.
They've definitely missed on Runners...they just had a couple good ones in a row with Holmes, Johnson, Charles...and arguably screwed over every single one of them.
NFL Throwback Is Absolutely Marvelous Keep Up The Good Work 👍.
Peyton Manning did a lot for the Broncos, but not nearly enough people talk about them signing DeMarcus Ware. That was a REAL home run.
VIEWTIFUL list boss. Thanks for churning this one out. Deion Sanders was definitely the hallmark signing for the 49ers, but another one I think of was getting Tim McDonald as a free agent in '93. He became a cornerstone player on the defense, and really helped the unit stay in top shape for a few years. Also Ken Norton Jr. in '94.
Charles Woodson and Reggie White for The Packers 2 Legends
Great video. Feel like the low marketed Bucs get overlooked alot in videos of this nature, but good to see Simeon Rice and Hardy Nickerson were added as honorable mentions. Well deserved.
It's easily Deion Sanders to the Cowboys . He turned the tides from SB Champion to next SB Champion.. no one could say that after the fact ..Charles Haley is also in the conversation. Immediate impact. ✌️
And it’s not Tom Brady cause they brought gronk and ab with him
Definitely some free agents signings for sure.
Nice list
Look at the last 5 years of Peyton’s career and you would think it was a Hollywood Story. No matter what, he is a Colt, but he is just as much as a Bronco as well.
Curtis Martin will always be my favorite runningback. Dude was massively underrated as a player AND character guy. Locker Room Leader and Zero Diva Tendencies. Oldest Back to win the rushing title.
Another player that could have probably made this at least as an honorable mention is CB Johnathan Joseph. He was consistently a good, sometimes great corner that provided Texans fans with a lot of big play memories.
The problem is, he also got burned ALOT. Especially towards the end of his run there
New top ten worst free agents would be awesome soon!
0:39 that ref diving out of the way tho lol
It would be cool if you included what team they came from. Some of these I had to look up 😂
How is Brady only 5?? He won a Super Bowl in his first year with the Bucs, made that franchise relevant, broke their playoff dry spell that was over a decade long, AND now the Bucs will go back to missing the playoffs without him
U have to take into account that it was the COVID year where he won the super bowl. Not to fully discredit him but he was on the road the entire playoffs and likey wouldn't have made it to the super bowl with a full Lambeau field or super dome two of the hardest places to play in. Also u also have to take into account that the bucs acquired way more FA other than Brady.
@@mitchelldouglas2483 Packers have been playoff chokers for 10+ years
They proven that they are regular season warriors more then anything. Packers is garbage in the playoffs
He also gets discounted for a truly dreadful 2022 though. He should have hung it up after 2021.
How is he above Charles Woodson is the real question. Tampa had one of the best offensive lines and receiving cores with a solid defense the first two years. Like putting up yardage for Brady is kind of dumb since he threw the most pass attempts in NFL history the last 2 years. With a ton of ring-chasing free agents added on.
Charles Woodson on the other hand had 38 Ints in the 7 seasons he was with the Packers. Which is more than most players get in their entire career. Locking down Calvin Johnson is no easy feat as well. I don’t remember if he won the super bowl with the Packers or not (I think so) but they had the same amount of rings over their free agent contracts then.
I’m pretty sure a few QBs would have done just as well as Brady did with the supporting cast he had. This is really just some dumb Brady bias he was only good for 2 seasons. Absolutely fell off last year with a weak division and it showed when they played the first game in the playoffs.
B/c the guys in front him also won Super Bowls while being great player for longer? Guys like White and Brees were elite players for 6+ yrs on the new team.
Enjoyed it, though no honorable mention for the great Jon Runyan. How about best and worst free agent signings by team, maybe separate videos by decade?
I’m glad y’all put the Burner on here
Brees at one makes sense. Gilmore for the Pats was also a great one and I’d probably put Brady higher.
How is Sanders #4 for a 1 year signing in SF and Kurt Warner is a honorable mention? Lmao
I think they're bumping him up because he was a one-year game changer for TWO teams in back-to-back years, which is pretty much unheard of. He's getting credit for two free agent signings rolled into one.
Still I hear you. Taking those 49ers and Cowboys to the Superbowl is nothing compared to taking the CARDINALS to a Superbowl.
Its him signing in SF AND Cowboys helping both win SBs. Not just the SF 1 yr deal.
The disrespect for Tom Brady is insane! Its like no one understands it. Tampa Bay may only be a franchise because of Tom.
Kevin Mawae was one of the best Centers of All Time...followed up by Nick Mangold, another All Time Great Center.
so many what-if scenarios with free agency, one that I think about is what if Drew Brees stayed with the Chargers? 👀
Or if he signed with the dolphins
The chargers knew what they wanted though and they wanted rivers, drew wasn’t playing that good, and had a career turn around with Sean Peyton, I think it’s a system thing even though drew was amazing, he fit that system perfectly.
never would of had anything close to the career he had if he stayed in SD. they would have wasted him & his talent as they do all the QB's they get. NO & Payton knew how to use him & unleash his greatness
Curtis Martin and Priest Holmes are two of the most underrated backs of all time. Both were SO good at their peaks
Both were big, terrifying backs who were just as happy to run over you as around you.
I agree with Curtis Martin being underrated, but Priest Holmes was definitely not underrated.
Interesting how the #1 had the shortest screen time.
Andrew Whitworth to the Rams has to be top 10 at least. He was a key piece to the Rams resurgence under McVay
Do Every NFL Team Next Please😏
8:40 "Ya wanna be a Raidah?" 💀
Of course being a Bolt fan its Brees ! SMH - And these newer Chargers fans loved Rivers with us vets fans still asking WTF is or was AJ Smith thinking ? And Michael Turner and Darren Sproles and Vincent Jackson, Antonio Cromartie
Curtis Martin was something else
Rod
(the best of the Woodson’s)
To the Ravens helped put them over the top
I agree. He absolutely changed the culture of the Ravens. Once Rod got here, they've been a defense first team ever since. And regardless of who is on offense, that'll never change.
Honestly I would argue that Reggie White is just as important to the Packers as he was to the Eagles, and that he’s just as iconic to both teams.
People tend to forget that Green Bay was a dumpster fire for *20* years. We had Lynn Dickey, James Lofton, Coffman, even Majik Man, but Green Bay was perpetually in the basement.
Then we get Brett Favre in a trade, no big deal obviously, until Majik goes down, the rest, was history.
But even then, Green Bay was sort of turning the corner, on the rise, but as a quiet background thing. Then free agency hits for the first time.
I remember my Dad telling me that he daydreamed about getting Reggie, like a Lions fan daydreaming about what if prime Rodgers joined forces with Megatron.
Only Reggie *actually* did it.
All of a sudden, Green Bay went from being a tiny backwater, to a tiny backwater, but one that became a hot spot for free agents. A young Favre lighting up the offense with arguably the greatest defensive player in NFL history on the other side?
Sign me the hell up.
And for 30 years, Green Bay has been at worst a playoff contender. He and Favre *completely* changed Green Bay’s fortunes alongside Holmgreen, and in return Reggie got something he never had at any other point in his life.
A championship.
Sanders #4? - Man I love how he played, he was the best but SF and Dallas were already very good teams
Manning at #3? and White at #2? same comment Denver and GB were already playoff teams
Brady at #5? When he took a team that didn't play a playoff game in 12 years and won a SB in his first year, that's amazing, Brady should be #2
Brees #1
I see what you’re saying about Brady, but I would still put White at number 2, that was truly the first big time free agent in NFL history so there is a lot of historical relevance in his signing.
Gannon was cooking
Lol @ spelling Stephon Gilmore’s as “Stefan” in the chapters.
Maybe the only signing the cowboys have made worth a damn since the FA-era began. A no-brainer one at that ... and then nothing. Nothing at all for what, 28 years now? 28 years of not even making it into the NFC title game once FA firmly took hold.
They needed to include Marcus Allen, IMO. And Hardy Nickerson belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Wouldn't Kurt Warner also count for the Rams as well considering he signed with them while he was out of the league
Kurt Warner looks like he could be Ryan Reynolds' dad.
Peyton Manning singlehandedly saved John Elway’s reputation. He practically did Elway’s job for him because every single significant player we signed who played a significant role for that super bowl team would never even step foot in Colorado if Peyton wasn’t there.
Nfl throwback you have the best videos ever
As a bears and Ohio State fan seeing Charles Woodson sign to the packers made me sick to my stomach 😭
What about Jared Allen?
13:07 rip DT 🏈
What about Darren Sharper?
Am I missing something, or should James Harrison have been a mention?
How is Warner HM?
Kevin Greene played only 3 seasons in Pit? Felt way longer
There were no codes to phones in 2004. Buddy just displayed false memories
Jared Allen, Terrel Owens, or Randy Moss??
Drew Brees at #1... That's just perfect. If he would have declined, New Orleans, wouldn't have a team, and San Antonio would
How is Reggie White not on the list lol
Finally, Drew Brees gets some respect, as the greatest free agent signing in NFL history.
Man, i miss Elliot Harrison narrating these...
Whoever made this video spelled his name Stefan Gilmore 😆 it's Stephon Gilmore
Where is Kurt Warner to the Rams or wasn’t that a free Agency signing ?
Would y'all say Cam wake is the greatest dolphins free agent ever 🤔 and should be an Honourable mention on this list
Tom Brady signing with the Buccaneers: #1
Drew Brees signing with the Saints: #1A
Peyton Manning signing with the Broncos: #1B
Reggie White #1. And it isn't even close.
I feel like Antonio gates should have been on here since he was a UDFA
Where's Albert Haynesworth??? 😂😂😂😅😅
Nah Reggie coming to us is number 1 it changed free agency for ever when he came to green bay cause they usually only went to New York or Miami or California
the Packers were on his short list and that was cool, but then he came! Don't think I would have been more thrilled if Lombardi himself had come back!
No sir, Reggie was the first and one of the most important but Drew Brees literally saved our franchise in New Orleans. Changed life in a city, no hyperbole he changed life in this city.
The last time the packers have won superbowls they made moves in free agency???!!! 😑
More honorable mentions than actual players in the top-10.
I thought Gilmore was traded
It’s amazing with everything John Elway and Peyton Manning had done for Denver, all of their accomplishments have been dwarfed and nullified by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
It’s like y’all were never there.
Where's Rodney Harrison?
Inmoss the commentators
Priest was that guy
Where’s Revis?!
It is laughable that Rodney Harrison is not in the top 3 and it is embarrassing that he isn't on the list at all. All time playoff interception leader with the Patriots. Big time picks in championship games and super bowl. 1st player in the 30 pick/30 sack club (only other person currently in this club is a guy called Ray Lewis). Whether it be HOF nominations or lists like this, the disrespect shown to man is shameful.
Rodney had a decent year after signing with NE but most of his production was with SD, his former team. He only got 9 of those sacks and 8 of those INTs with NE.
@@salidarx he's talking about playoff production,,,you know where stuff actually matters
Reggie white should be number one he set the standard and arguably top 5 nfl player ever I don't think drew Brees top 5 quarterback of all time
James Farrior honorable mention??? Hahaha he anchored 2 Super Bowl teams...
Uh… Jared Allen?
I still can't get over how overpaid these thugs are
Tom Brady should have been number 1 period
So where does Charles Haley rank in your eyes? SMH
No love for Jerome Bettis?
That was a trade, not a FA signing. Although it's definitely a Top 10 Trade of All Time I'll give you that.
Marshall Faulk from Indy to my Rams is another Top 10 Trade of all time..
this no narrator shit ain’t it 😂
First
Brady being #5 and not #1 is a joke lol. For everything he did in New England.. then to sign elsewhere and Win It All.
What a joke of an order this list is in lol
Didn’t know Brady played every position in the nfl
Not really
Peyton at 3 is Wild cause he was honestly trash in Denver
I’m not watching but stephon Gilmore better be on this list
He was an honorable mention towards the end of vid
N1 free agency Peyton manning
Desean jackson definitely deserves a mention here, might not have been “great” but he was definitely serviceable for the skins.
Brees is the most overrated player ever
