[QUOTE="Patriotplayer90, post: 731888, member: 11307"] My issue isn't as much with Adams as it is with the way TT does things. Is Adams talented? Yes. But not $10M talented. Had he or Cobb been on any other team, the production presumably would have been lower, as would their value on the free market. But a year or two of good production with an excellent QB seems to warrant the pay of a great player, which is not a good business model, IMO. You pay for talent, not the presumed value due to a very favorable situation which results in inflated production numbers. I'm beating a dead horse, but I'd much prefer the way NE does things, by taking cheap, talented players whose production suffered due to crowded rosters or poor personnel decisions on their previous teams. They ultimately end up with guys who outperform their contracts. You may think the guys who I listed "aren't on Adams' level", but most, if not all could bring at least 90% of the production of Adams, which would be perfectly fine if they cost much less than what Adams would. Rishard Matthews and Eric Decker both went to the Titans, and make less combined than what Cobb does, despite outperforming him (2016 for Matthews, and 2015 for Decker's last full season). I know who I would rather have. Martellus Bennett was an excellent pickup, all around. But it is difficult to justify the amount of money that would go into our WR/TE corp if we were to pay Adams the big bucks. He has more years left in him than some of the players who I mentioned, but the number of years Rodgers has left in him is more of my concern. There are wiser ways to spend the money than throwing another $10M at a WR just because you don't want to go into FA and really have nothing else to spend it on. [/QUOTE]
