Quote:Nobody is saying to spend the rest of it, but you have to imagine there is a line drawn in there somewhere that the team doesn't want to spend past. Every dollar not overspent is a dollar that can go towards another player... Or a dollar that can go towards overspending for high end difference makers in future years. It may be the difference in signing or not signing a Gipson or Weddle or other 2nd or 3rd tier free agents. Its not a crazy concept.

Considering how all of our free agent contracts have been drawn up in the past where we can walk away without owing another dime, and the fact that Dave has already said in the past that he has a set number for each guy that he's not willing to go past and has demonstrated this with his actions...I wouldn't worry about that.


They will spend what they deem is necessary but I highly doubt they'll spend to the point where it will hinder them in the future. They've been planning this moment for years now. Dave doesn't seem like the type to throw caution to the wind.
