Are we overvaluing our own and undervaluing free agents?

[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 758629, member: 7261"] IMO, you answered your own question with that last bit. There are a lot of intangibles us as fans have to guess at when it comes to valuing one of our own or one of the others. There is some definite value in information beyond stats of a player. I think a team probably has and uses as much of that information that they have on their own guys, to either place more or less value on a player. With players outside the organization, some of those answers may just be best guesses and error on the side of caution or optimism, depending on the guy doing the evaluation. [LIST=1] [*] How does the player fit into the Packer system/team? [*] Any undisclosed injuries? [*] Does the player want to be in Green Bay? [*] Is there a better and cheaper fit available? [*] Locker room character? [/LIST] I'm sure people can come up with a lot more intangibles than that, but for fans, it seems like a guessing game as to what a current player or potential free agents value should be. We already know that TT seemed to place a higher value on his own guys, it will be interesting to see how Gunt does with that. [/QUOTE]
