It is interesting. Fuck Niners, look at the Browns. The usual Garbage teams (Niners, Browns, Jacksonville) are all not spending shit. Seems like an ownership problem...

Free Agency isn't really the way to build a team though -- see the 'Dream Team' Eagles... In that sense, rolling over cap space year to year until you have a core built up and you can supplement with a few big dollar guys AND afford to give your homegrown guys money to stay is what works.

anecdotally, the Raiders success at building through free agency has been 50/50 thus far. the half they spent on the o-line has to be considered a resounding success ('member all the shit talk about paying Osemele so much?). But the secondary and defense overall has to be considered so far a failure.

I think teams like the 9ers and Browns are in a position to make moves, but are running into somethings the Raiders were: when the team sucks balls, what high profile free agent Wants to go there? So the way it seems to do it is to get a core of young talent, show some success, make the team a more palatable option to those big profile FAs, then spend the cash.

I think there are two things happening and they both kind of connect together. I think the 9er ownership group (all of them) is about making money. I also think paying a bunch of money out to free agents in hopes that the team turns the corner is a gamble not worth taking (the reason the 9ers went into the tank in the early 2000s was due to salary cap purgatory). Once the team turns the corner again I think we'll see this change. Money will be spent to keep the players who make it happen and bring in top flight FA to fill voids left by retiring players.

No point in pulling the trigger before a target is presented.

You're right, but Free Agency isn't where most of the money goes. Right? Typically most of your money goes to quality players that you drafted and paid to retain. Free agency adds a factor that says, “if you can’t draft big talent, you go out and buy it,” since both the Draft and Free Agency don’t always work, but when you see a team that has tens of millions more unspent than just about everyone else, you have to really think that it is a team with a serious management problem, because they appear to be doing neither.

So you're saying it's no coincidence the two worst teams in the NFL have the most unspent money? :teeth

As usual, Pats and Steelers lead this "how to run an NFL team" philosophy category. Neither team overpays for free agents, and yet they win all the damn time.

Colts did it different when firing their GM....kept the coach.

Maybe the new GM will find O-lineman to protect their franchise player Andrew Luck, who is a human bowling ball.
 
Alright, looks like the games are on at 10:05 and 1:40 am here.

Just have to figure out if the hotel has the channel they're on

I hope the Falcons take it all. Georgia deserves a trophy.

I agree with you, Ryan is probably the best QB in the league that hasn't won the big one yet.

As I said, the way he came in as a rookie immediately after the Vick scandal and the Bobby Petrino resignation and carried the team was pretty impressive.

Not Falcons fan, but I really, REALLY hate the other remaining teams. :laughing
