Quote:Vinny Curry getting $9.5 million was absolutely dumb and if your model for how things should be done is what the Eagles have done the last few years then there in lies the rub. The Eagles have repeatedly given dumb, overpriced contract after dumb, overpriced contract and regret them all.


Like I've mentioned so many times before, the cap went up 8%... You don't suddenly double players' salaries, which is what you are proposing will happen to every player this year.


Derek Wolfe, essentially his equal in Denver, just got a $9 million dollar contract so you should use that as a barometer instead of someone grossly overpaid by a franchise that likes to grossly overpay like the Eagles.

You are missing the point. It doesnt matter what you believe the value to be. The reality is that these guys are gonna be over paid. Curry set the market. The agents are now saying if Curry got that much with 16 sacks my guy with 20 sacks needs more. And guess what its gonna happen. This happens every year and will continue to happen. The difference is we have enough money to where it would not hurt us if we got in on that action. Guys will get over paid this year just like they did last year and the year before.



Were in agrement that it possibly is dumb but we need players and we are in a positon to over pay to get them and it not hurt us going forward. It sounds like Caldwell wont over pay any way so this is a non issue anymore. Im just saying we shouldnt be scared to pay guys espcially if it wont hurt us going forward.
