I've said it before: there has to be a limit.  In the past, I've obsessed during free agency, hoping the team would be willing to break the bank for this guy or that guy.  3-13 will do that to you.  Desperation.  But when you have built a talented roster, and you want to compete for years to come, you have to start to set limits.  You have to have some sort of budget.  Spending money means making choices.  

It's like the team has grown up.  We're no longer children.  "Daddy, buy me this!  Daddy, buy me that!"  

As the team improves, we start to get into a salary cap squeeze, and we have to be strict with our money.  That's what good teams do.   Bad teams have unlimited cap space because they don't have any good players to begin with.   Good teams have to be disciplined.

I guarantee you, if Allan Robinson signs a blockbuster deal, it will be with some crap team that has all kinds of cap space and is desperate to spend some money and get some players.  Thank God we are no longer in that situation.
