[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 487817, member: 5830"] Spending money in free agency for the sake of spending is a fool's quest just as much as sitting on drafted players that will never pan out. I'm a TT guy because I'm fiscally conservative myself. That doesn't mean that you don't take chances here and there but you limit your exposure. There aren't many teams that play free agency well. Many thought that the Eagle's moves two years ago would get them over the hump. They only needed a few key acquisitions in FA to make the Super Bowl. Well complete implosion ensued. There are many reasons, and I'm not specifically blaming their use of free agency, but just the notion that going out and spending money is the fix itself. The real key is all of us (and the Packers) arguing about who the [I]right[/I] players are to pursue. Of course, that all needs to take place in the context of what current players do you sacrifice because you used up cap space on FA players. It's rare to find a deal in free agency, and more likely to find a guy that just peaked but commands top dollar. [/QUOTE]
