The Packers are working their way through the end of that cycle now. You get young because you opt for first contracts from rookies, and the serviceable FAs you find with low salary expectations. I think Gute has done a darned good job making that happen and meanwhile being able to keep some valuable pieces on the team and bring in others through FA who are solid. Examples, McKinney and Jacobs. Add in, the nice extension for Love and still having some mobility in salary movement after dumping the Alexander contract.Signing Banks this year may prove to be an excellent move. It was adding a working piece to the puzzle without putting out huge guarantees on a long-term contract where you sweat out every minor injury.People seem to forget that getting young and doing it well is a sign of good judgement of horse flesh. You can't afford to foolishly spend cap money just because you've got it.</blockquote>
