[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 541262"] Those statements are poorly thought through and largely incorrect. What we pay our WRs vs. Rice is utterly irrelevant. Compare what we pay our QB vs. what they pay theirs, our top edge rusher vs. theirs, our inside linebackers vs. theirs or our top cornerback to theirs. Your contention that a rich team like Seattle can pay out big signing bonuses to players who bust and then just turn around and repeat the process is completely misguided. That's the fast road to cap hell. Certainly you're familiar with the concept of "dead cap money"...every signing bonus $ counts against the cap sooner or later; the more often you don't get value for those bonuses, the more dead cap you accumulate. The Seahawks have a ton of dead cap built into their contracts now. Their window is narrow, and it will likely shut when Wilson comes up for renewal...like what we just saw in the Baltimore housecleaning. That Murphy would have made such statements in 2010 is no surprise...that was the uncapped year where he had the second largest player compensation outlays in the league. There is absolutely no indication that a cash consideration would come into play for any Packer signing, now or in the foreseeable future. It's all about cap management. If one sees us not spending up to the cap, it has nothing to do with cash considerations...it's a multi-year consideration of future cap room needs coupled with a cap management philosophy that tries to avoid dead cap like the plague.
