[QUOTE="paulska, post: 491345, member: 557"] While there have been other recent offseasons where talking heads have suggested that the days of frantic spending in the early days of free agency are doomed because of flattening caps, etc, I will be interested to see if HRE is right on this front. Aside from a couple cap rich teams (Cleveland, Tampa), who can afford to give a player like Chris Canty 6 mil per season to essentially take up space and create opportunities for playmakers a la CM3 to come free to the QB and keep runs to a minimum? Remember that Jerry Jones and Daniel Snyder are both under sanction for violating last year's cap, which takes two of the biggest free spenders out of the equation, especially given that both teams are seriously cap poor at this juncture and have serious issues resigning key players, AND Al Davis (RIP) is no longer calling the fast and loose shots in Oakland- Reggie McKenzie, our ex-Packer pal, is cap strapped and needing to build through the draft and value FA signings. If Canty was going to explode into a 15 sack guy from the interior, he would have done it with Tuck, Umenyiora and Pierre-Paul around him. That didn't happen, and I don't know how you pay an effective space eater huge money to deliver what he never has to date. Canty won a title with NYG. If you can't find a big payday, then wouldn't you tend to think that given similar money you'd want to go with the team that has the better shot at another ring? Does anyone trust Cam Newton to play as error free as is necessary to win it all? I don't know if GB is where Canty wants to be most, but if TT can read the tea leaves on the kinds of offers he's getting from other corners, and we can get him here for 3-4 years between 2-3.5 million a season, he's an upgrade for us at a position we lack length at, and his presence makes Worthy's recovery and reintegration a lesser issue, permitting the kind of patience that may have made Mike Neal's comeback a lot shorter...
