I for one am glad TT is being quiet

[Tony Oday]

Good God teams are over paying for players! Drew Bennett for 4.5 million a year! hes a third stringer at best with a habt of dropping the ball.

Take a look at some of these signings. Man i would think these second and third rate talents that are getting all of this money are going to screw with the chemistry on these teams because guys that are already there are going to be pissed that they are better players than the new FAs and getting paid less...

Very good point.

[Pack_Attack88]

me too! let these teams bury themself so they cant get out in a year or two when 3/4's of those FAents dont pan out!!

It's really exciting to see all of the reasonable views. I understand the angst about getting FA's. You see guys who might help and you know they are going to get scooped up, but the price to play isn't always weighed in.

This year, more than ever, a majority seems to really embrace the term "value."

As far as the few who really want these guys at any price, it just makes me realize that when I go to sell my car, I can get alot more than what it's worth. Some people who really want what your selling will pay whatever it takes to get it. It only takes one desperate buyer and bam, you sold it for more than you thought possible.

Yep, Houston probably overpaid for Ahman Green too.... What a joke.

[packinpatland]

This team should have antied up and paid A. Green.

[the_idle_threat]

I tend to agree that the team is doing well to seek value, and there is not much of that in the first weekend of free agency.

But the Green signing hurts. It seems that I value Green a lot more than TT does.

All this "overpaid" discussion gets a bit old

Bottom line is we are in a changing market in which teams have too much money so the salaries of the quality players are going to get pushed higher than what some knowledgeable fans deem fair.

So to feel good about what's occuring we play the overpaid card. But if we get through the wave a quality free agents and they are all paid higher than we deem fair market value does that mean they are all overpaid ? And we are smarter to not spend the money then sign a couple of them ??

Was Green overpaid ? Maybe ? But he's not the only back in that age and yard range just paid there. Fred Taylor I believe received more than Ahman.

So maybe in this market they were not overpaid ? Maybe Ahman Green had that value to the Green Bay Packers. Time will tell.

I agreed with Bretsky. The market has changed with a lot more money being available to sign players to bigger bucks. Next year the cap will probably go up again. Teams with bigger wallets will spend more money to get FAs they feel will improve their team. You can overspend on one quality FA and still not hurt your cap number. So why wouldn't you spend the money? It appears the cap management rules have changed somewhat given the large increase in cap money.

ya Bennett is worth 4.5 a year give me a break not even in this NFL is he worth that. Green prolly got his 5 million a year which he isnt worth anymore. Dont get me wrong I love the guy and how he runs but he isnt worth that price.

Who in your opioion is worth there salary?

[Tony Oday]

Clements is worth a blockbuster deal. He is a shut down corner that can cover anyone in the NFL. Adalius Thomas will be an animal in NE. These are just the free agents this year.

Guys off the top of my head that play for the pack: Favre, Kamp, Clifton, Tauch, Driver, Harris and Hawk.

Would you pay that much for Ruvel Martin? Similar type of player. Now if it was a joe horn type I would say why not worth the cash.

It only makes sense that as the salary cap increases, so to will players salaries.

Oh I agree with this but man there is a difference he isnt even a starter and if they make him one he will more than likely fail.

Understood! The joys of FA.
