[QUOTE="Oannes, post: 150382, member: 816"] I seem to recall that overpaying a free agent CAN work....REGGIE WHITE. Thank GOD TT signed Charles Woodson last year. I really wanted him and we got him. I can't imagine how much more porous our secondary would've been had we not ponied up for him. But....for every Reggie White there's a JOE JOHNSON. He did get hurt, but the net result was a waste of money. Kampman was a 5th rounder and he's grown quite a bit in his years. The thing I worry about is the Javon Walker/Mike McKenzie syndrome. We get talented players THROUGH THE DRAFT...grow them...and then they bolt because we don't pay like other teams. It makes no sense to try and grow for the future if you're going to let your impact players get away. You'd be better served paying too much for a free agent than doing that. I certainly hope the Barnett extension is a sign we're going to start paying guys but I fear it isn't. Barnett could've taken a lot more money next year elsewhere. Thankfully, he's a guy who actually likes Green Bay. I can hear Tim Harris muttering about the silos...somewhere. [/QUOTE]
