Quote:Paying that much just to risk that much on very scary injuries or past ineffectiveness or both? There's a reason the major FA QB signing happened successfully a mere four times in salary cap history. 

 

Hey, just stating why the risk is lower. These NFL franchises are money presses. The idea that how much the spend on players salaries and bonuses matters in the least is laughable. Draft selections are hard limited and of extreme value and scarcity. The money they have to throw around is much less scarce.

 

Of course the problem isn't that teams aren't willing to pay elite money to elite guys in free agency, the problem is guys that make it to free agency generally aren't elite or thought of as elite.
