[QUOTE="sschind, post: 946692, member: 10247"] The best Players get the most money. Unless you hit on a rookie who develops fast or a one year wonder like Douglas or Campbell you are going to be faced with paying top players top money. No doubt you have to have balance but that means you have to have some blue chippers too. I'm sure the team would love to have tier one talent playing at tier two prices but the players aren't going to go along with that. So who is to blame. The teams for wanting the highest paid players (assuming that this means the best players which admittedly is not a given) or the players who want the most money. Or maybe its the fans who want the best team which means the FO has to sign the highest paid guys who want the most money because they are the best. Some people point to the Smith contract's and say they are one of the reasons we are in cap hell. I would say perhaps but in their first year year here I would not be too afraid to say that they were a huge part of the reason we made it to the NFCC game. Not them alone of course but they played a critical part. People will say that we didn't need to pay Aaron Jones all that money when we had Dillon. I'd say Aaron Jones was a very big part of why we won 13 games this year. People say we are getting nothing in return for all the money we gave David Bakhtiari and while that may be true because of the injury you have to pay guys like that. Even those complaining about it admit that. So what are they complaining about. That our GM couldn't foresee injuries or that he didn't know a guy he drafted would be so good that maybe we wouldn't have needed to spend all that money to to keep David. Are we in cap hell? Most definitely but why? Some would have us believe that we are in cap hell because the FO has their heads up their ***** and ran around willy nilly handing out blank checks to ****** players. In some cases that may be true but I prefer to think that we are in cap hell because the FO identified players, both from the outside and from our own who could help us win and they decided to sign or keep these players.
