This is free agency. These guys aren't just waiting to sign a nice, reasonable deal. They want to be paid. So don't get your hopes up if you think you can get someone like Ben Tate and Mack without doing damage to your salary cap.

 

Do you want them or not?

 

 

Signing anyone does damage to your cap in some way so thats not the issue, its how you work with that cap and make it work for this team.

 

just because its Free Agency doesnt mean that you give Ben Tate a 5 yr 65 mil deal...Its also doesn mean Tate deserves a 5 mil deal...You spend within your means and needs, if we dont sign anyone then we can draft a guy..its not a pressing need. There are plenty of Rbs in this draft that we can have between the 2nd-5th rds that would fit well here.

 

Im sure you are competent enough to know the difference in overspending in FA (See Mario Williams)

 

Mack is surely looking for 9-10 Mil a year...I think thats too rich for Daves taste but we shall see.

 

Its not as black and white as you would want it to be.
