[QUOTE="UpDownEndAround, post: 546607, member: 6984"] You're right, but [I]most[/I] of them are failures for the price tag they command. This is isn't disputable. Look at the teams that are all big FA spenders. Most recently, Philly/Washington/Dallas/Minnesota/Buffalo...none even made the playoffs!!!!....the list goes on. You have to be cap aware for future years...Denver is more likely to go "all in" because Peyton isn't likely to play more than 1 or 2 more years. There are always exceptions with these big signings, but they are rare. I understand the frustrations to an extent, but the proof is in the pudding. Day 1 FA signings are more often mistakes than not! We are not out of the FA market at this point...it hasn't even been 24 hours. I think it is clear from MM pressers and the fact that we are letting a lot of our own guys test the FA waters that we are going to get some new talent in here on D. There is a lot to be said about keeping your own guys and unlike all those other teams who blow their cap space early and end up with cap nightmares later (Dallas, Pitt, NO), we are consistently competitive....even when our MVP QB misses half the year! Is it that hard to see which way is far more effective? We will be spending most of that cap, some of you just need to have some patience. [/QUOTE]
