Ties up money in a player(s) that isn't proportionally helping the team.  Imagine how many players the Giants could have used that $18M/year on to improve.Now for a team that is completely cap strapped, like the Packers, overpaying has an even bigger impact. The Packers are already thin at quality WR's and throwing something like $10M at MVS or $11M at Lazard, is not a very good way to try and improve your whole team.</blockquote>
