Last year I didn't give a damn about paying more than market for any free agent.

This year it's a different cap situation, but we are talking about two or three vital signings that can be managed. We are not spending a record amount in free agency on a slew of players like last year.

Still not a big deal if one or two of these guys gets paid more than a few fans think he should make.
I'm not sweating these potential salary numbers. They'll keep who they can keep and look to the draft and mid-tier FA for the rest.
