[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 957039, member: 17953"] There are two schools of thought on what happens when individual players get huge contracts. Of course, the first is that they're outrageous and you can't afford to compete with them. That it's going to drive the prices up on everyone else from that position's free agent pool. The second thought is that it will drive the costs up for the upper level members of that position pool, but with all the cap room being eaten up by these contracts, there are players in other positions who are going to be more accessible, because teams stretching the cap can't afford to handle even moderate contracts. Want an example of the latter? The Packers. We got ourselves into that position. But, even there, there's a ray of hope. Because players we couldn't afford to keep are worth more, we can end up getting some compensatory picks, and in the case of Adams, a couple of solid picks in the first two rounds. In a way, that goes a long way towards balancing the scale, even though it's not quite visible in the early going. Who knows what we get with those two picks? We could get a WR better than Adams, and a guy for another position who ends up as a perennial all-pro. It's a gamble, but even though it's a risk, it's an acceptable one. Personally, I like how they're approaching all of this. I also see that there just might come a moment not that far down the road where the Packers will move Love for possibly an established WR, a pick, or a combination of both. You just never know. Anyhow, just shooting from the hip. It's part of the off season fun. [/QUOTE]
