    Players coming into their first big payday go where the money is! Suggesting otherwise is silly except for rare exceptions (Hightower going back to the Pats). So implying no free agents would come here is silly (unless he was re-signed by his team at a discount...which almost never happens).

    No one is arguing you shouldn't acquire your core group of talent via the draft, but if we had spent money on free agents the previous off-season to a 5 year contract, we could have put that talent on the field for a few years and then either cut them if we need cap space in two years or kept them if they became part of our nucleus. Either way, we'd have a better team on paper.

    Yes you can argue it's possible this free agent or that free agent doesn't work out...but at least we have a decent chance at getting a difference maker. What's the worst thing that could happen...the player doesn't work out and in a year or two we get rid of them while we get better depth/ST play and our starters got better competition to become starters. Not much downside!

    Keeping the $50mil in our pocket has a GUARANTEED downside!

    Still waiting on that list of your free agent picks that would have put us over the top?

    Thats exactly what I was thinking would happen when I created this thread 38 pages ago! I think Sims is poised to lock in that #2 CB spot and have Adoree work in the slot until he's comfortable.

    I think at some point early Adoree takes over the #2, he's simply just too athletically gifted not to have running with the top guys.

    Plus we have a 1st rounder sunk into him, coaches will want him in there.

    Sims has done everything right to this point and is now a vet, it's pretty common for a guy like that to get the nod in OTAs.
