Quote:Just about any free agent is going to come with a price tag with the expanded salary cap.  That's life in the NFL.  If you're the one stroking checks, then you can worry about it.  Otherwise, the team has the money, and they have to spend it.  If Beadles proves to be an upgrade over what we're moving away from, it's money well spent. 

 

I agree that all or most free agents will be overpaid....

 

So, targeting players (e.g. Byrd/ Mack/ etc) that actually have high talent at least gets you something in return for that overpayment. 

 

Overpaying guys like Beadles/ M Johnson/ Bennett) gets you players like the Jags signed in previous years, i.e. Pashos/ Landry/ Session, i.e. average talent////but for lotsa money.
