[QUOTE="TomAllen, post: 97354, member: 581"] [url]http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2575530[/url] Cheap, not the way to go. The Patriots are $13 million under the salary cap and in danger of having their star WR, Deion Branch, sitting out for the season. Yet this is a team that prides themselves on being "fiscally responsible", but as more and more NFL players view the NFL market place, fiscally responsible is becoming just another word for "cheap". Make no mistake about it, the NFL is a fishbowl, and players do observe what happens on other teams. Take the Pittsburgh Steelers for instance. They have lost WR Randle El and DE Roman Van Oeffen to Free Agency. . The Steelers practice this same type of fiscal conservancy. This appears to be becoming a trend in the NFL The Packers have had their own woes when Javon Walker wanted his contract renogotiated, and was let go to Denver when he became a problem. Who will be next for the Packers? Will it be the WR Jennings after a good year or two on his current contract? Or will it be Al Harris, who's current situation already has the left the star DB disgruntled and unhappy? Many fans here applaud TT's "fiscal responsibility", but I would warn TT that cheap is not the way to go. Look at New England as a prime example. If they can't work it out with Branch, may be in a world of trouble this year. Next year, who's to say that this won't happen in the city of Green Bay? [/QUOTE]
