You misunderstand. I'm talking about free agent classes, I support the Cleveland trade, Planet Theory is one of my philosophical planks. We can't sustain long term success if we have to spend free agent money like we did two years ago to replace the core of the team by bringing in 8 more high priced free agents in the offseason.

I don't think anyone would argue that we can bring in 8 high priced free agents every offseason.  But this was a unique situation, and they did a great job of it.  

The alternative was to have Trevor Lawrence playing without those 8 high priced free agents, and as we have seen in many a case, a young QB can be permanently ruined by being on a bad team.
