Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 495748">There is a broad potential field of activity between the Philly Dream Team's raft of highly paid FA signings vs. doing nothing to plug a hole or two in the starting line-up. The more I hear "dream team" during discussions about signing a moderately priced starter to plug a hole, the more "dream team" sounds like an excuse, not an explanation. The fact of the matter is Murphy and Co. are stuck until the Rodgers and Matthews deals get done, and even then there may not be much cap left. Signing Brad Jones shot all of the *** they're willing shoot. But that's necessity, not philosophy, and we've lost a number of impact defensive players since 2010 without replacements. At the same time, we're carrying the following cap hits this year: Tramon Williams: $8.5 milFinley: $8.25 milPickett: $6.7 milRaji: $6.6 milHawk: $5.2 milCrosby: $3.2 milKuhn: $2.5 mil Net-net, that's not very good value. By contrast, if you compare Seattle's drafts and selective FA acquisitions over the past few 3 years with Schneider on the scene to TT performance over the same period, it should give one pause.</blockquote>
