It's just a matter of getting it through the thick heads of those fans who believe NFL teams should be run like a Fantasy Football roster or a Madden franchise. When teams start giving up draft picks, it might not affect them right away. But a year or two down the line, when they suddenly need to replace aging talent and find all they have are low round draft picks to do so, it makes it very hard to stay competitive. Or they wind up in salary cap hell when they find they need to re-sign several key players, but gave up too much to one guy in free agency. Sure, this past year was uncapped, but it's the exception, not the rule, and next year probably won't be uncapped. That high priced free agent you picked up in the off-season might have worked out this year, but what about next year, when his contract is up? Or, if you signed him to a multi-year, big money deal, that deal will probably impact your ability to sign additional players to rebuild your roster. Free agency can be a great tool, but it often gets abused by teams looking to buy championships. And we all see how well that works out for them.</blockquote>
