[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 430565, member: 2846"] Its really simple. A player is available who is good. The Packers can sign him and he will provide a small boost in the power rankings. The Redskins can sign him and he will provide the same small boost AND the excitement will sell 2000 season tickets at $2.5k each or about $5M per year added income. The Packers are sold beyond the expected lifetime of this player, let alone his football playing days. There is no added income for the Packers. To whom is this player worth more? Packers or Redskins? I don't think a low priced FA can come on this team and be much of an improvement. Yes, I have seen what the Patriots have done. They went after a lot of FAs a while back. They slowed down their FA acquisitions and they have improved. I don't watch much Patriot football, but here are what I believe are the starters or 'stars': Brady, Green-Ellis, Welker, Gronkowski, Hernandez, Mankins, McDonald, Light, Soldier, Vollmer, Brace, Ellis, Wilfork, Mayo, McCourty, Molden, Mark ANderson, and Spikes. Of these only Anderson and Ellis were FAs - to the best of my memory. All the stars, Brady, Gronk, Hernan, Mankins, Wilfork, Mayo, McCourty are all draft picks. Welker, of course, was a trade. Their FAs of the past year or so Ochosinco, Moss, Hayensworth, ? ? ? are either not with the team anymore or playing much. College kids new to a program are screened well through the interview process. Those who TT is wrong about, get cut. It is a huge difference if you have a young NT come in and start complaining about the system. It is another matter if you sign Al Hayensworth and he comes in and starts whispering things about the practices being to hard; how this player or that is getting screwed on thier contract, how . . . . Yes, you can cut him, but already the seeds of dissension are sown. We probably are not going to agree on this issue, and that all right by me. I am very happy with how TT has put together this team. There are at least 25 teams' fans who would swap rosters or front offices in a heart beat. The other 6 are delusional. [/QUOTE]
