Re: NEWS FLASH!!!!

First, we don't have as much cap room as it appears because we still have like 20 or 22 guys to sign.

Second, some of the names being thrown around (Clements, Fletcher, Freeney, Briggs) will require HUGE amounts of cap room, and even with our space we'll only be able to get one or maybe 2 if we're lucky. So it's a worthwhile discussion to debate where the money is best spent.

Third, we have cap room THIS year but we won't have cap room EVERY year. All of these guys are going to get big contracts that are going to affect the cap for 4 or 5 years down the road. Some thought needs to be put into who is worth this risk and who isn't.

Pretty much the entire NFL has plenty of cap room to sign people. Over half the NFL is $20M+ under the cap right now.

First off we have TONS of cap room to spend. Second We can get ALL of them if the contracts are done right. Third THIS is the room to get the players in here. You do the contracts right and things work out over time.

No more friggin excuses. If ralph and Marv dont' spend the money, then they won't sell out one game, fans are tired of the BS

Oh I'm plenty sick of the BS and I want them to spend every penny of that money. But I want them to do it WISELY- that money needs to be spent to build a complete TEAM, not overpay one overrated player (yes, I mean Clements).

Look mr popcorn eater

Clump in all seriousness brother, how many do we have under contract for next year?

He was really cheap last year.

And I think fans greatest concern is this, tons of cap room, clear cut needs that if addressed really give us a great shot at being a playoff team THIS year.

BUT!

Ralphs constant whining about money, CBA etc may leave us setting with 15-20 mill sitting in cap room and us just drafting and putting in mid tier fa's again which wont amount to much. Ralph has got to come up with about 50 mill in signing bonus money this offseason if we address what we need to. I am not sure he can let alone will.

Re: NEWS FLASH!!!!

He used to be cheap way back in the day. But in recent years he hasnt been. Just because he doesnt go out and get every probowler to make some of you happy doesnt mean hes being cheap.

Re: NEWS FLASH!!!!

Dont you think he was cheap last year for a reason??? It was first year with new coaches and systems why not see what players we have now and rookies can play in these systems to see who the NEW GM and NEW coaches want to keep? And then go work with that??
