Free agency winners and losers (Losers: Titans and Lions - The Titans do have Patriots ties, and when you pull back and see the haul (wide receiver Adam Humphries, left guard Rodger Saffold, edge-rusher Cameron Wake), it does fill some holes. But it's hard to think the Titans got that much better. The Lions, with Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn, splurged on Flowers as well as two more former Patriots in nickel corner Justin Coleman and wide receiver Danny Amendola. They also overpaid for pedestrian former Steelers tight end Jesse James. Again, sometimes less is more.):  http://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-free-agency-winners-losers-raiders-jets-browns-go-big-giants-steelers-flop/nc3cw0vgzlmk1bosznejnt6ma
