It is a common strategy when you are on a rookie contract. But it doesn’t work very often and has about the same success rate as the draft but is infinitely more expensive. Grigson had to use FA though bc his drafts sucked.
Luck was the 3rd most hit QB in the league in 2016 and Brisset was first in 2017. He had arguably the worst oline in the league for years, and that’s with a franchise LT already in place. His kidney wasn’t the only injury he had.
