From my experience, it's best to freak out early, just in case, so you don't end up regretting it earlier.
That way, when people say you should have expected the Cowboys to move slowly at the start of free agency becasue they do it EVERY SINGLE YEAR UNDER JASON GARRETT, you can just say they should stop being homers and defending Jerry and that you just have higher expectations for your team than they do and don't tolerate mediocrity. That lets you get in a little smugness, which is fun, and there's no downside unless you care about losing your **** for no reason each and every offseason like clockwork.
