Quote:Reading and listening to the pundits, the general opinion is tha the Jags are overpaying for promising, but unproven talent. In other words, they're taking a big risk.

1. Overpaying is what free agency is all about. For all the wild fantasies fans have about signing big names who'll come in for a sensible salary and perform amazingly, that's not the reality.
2. They're really not taking a big risk. They have the cap space; they need to spend it. Putting some amount of it into reasonably high risk, high reward players isn't a bad idea at all. It only takes one of them to pay off and it's a big win. And if none of them do, so be it - the cap space was there to be used.
