The salary cap went up an enormous amount because the year before was flat after the covid season. We are now competing with basically every team except maybe the Saints and Packers (but even they can create a lot of cap if they really want to).

It's no longer do I want to go to this sucky team that has bad weather and high taxes vs Jacksonville's sucky team that has beaches and no state tax. They simply aren't going to choose us over any number of contenders that can also be the high bidder and isn't being led by the most hated man in the league and hasn't had two regimes in a row saying we are toxic by the NFLPA.

Whatever, it's not worth rehashing every time someone ignores these facts. We'll see if I'm right in less than a month. I think everyone is going to be sorely disappointed.

That's not addressing what I said at all.  If we ARE the highest bidder, they will come here.  We'll probably have to overpay more than another team, but they'll come.
