Funny! They all OVERPAID!!

[justasportsfan]

The bills sign Dockery and then skins fans say, we overpaid for him.

The Pats sign Welker and finfans on FH say the Pats overpaid for him.

9'ers sign Clements and we say they overpaid for him.

we sign our own (kelsay) and we overspent for him too.

The Jags signed Pashos and the raven fans say they overpaid him. Same thing about the Thomas signing by NE.

It's all true. Football players are all grossly overpaid.

It's almost like the cap has gone up and every team has lots of money to spend.

Re: Funny! They all OVERPAID!!

my pont is, that the fans of the team that the players left will always say, they overpaid including bills fans. This makes me feel better about the money we spent. Yes, including the Kelsay signing.

Overpaid or not , I trust The MArv.

Re: Funny! They all OVERPAID!!

Welcome to FA where you HAVE to overpay to get players. It's been this way ever since Plan B free agency ended. Hell, in 95 when cleveland signed Andre Rison, Browns and Falcons fans said they overpaid.

yep, pretty much. It's just the way the market is going.

Re: Funny! They all OVERPAID!!

What i really don't understand is how Bills fans can say the 9ers overpaid for Nate.

If the numbers are right, we gave 18.5 mill in guranteed money to a starting LG who's got lots of potential, but still has ltos to prove and is seen was seen as the 3rd best one available. (he's also the highest paid of the 3 and also making more than Steve Hutchinson)

meanwhile the 9ers got a shutdown corner for 22 mill in guranateed money. i'm thinking for 3.5 million more in guranateed money, the shutdown corner is more valauble than a starting LG.

don't get me wrong, we NEEDED to fix that OL, and i'm glad we signed Dockery.... but i can't see how we can slam the 9ers for their contract with Nate without being very hypocritcal.

Re: Funny! They all OVERPAID!!

Nate is not a shut down corner. He's a good corner, but too inconsistent to be labled shut down. I wish we could have kept him, but for the price he was asking we can address multiple areas of concern.
I will give you this though... with the increase in the cap maybe I'm just in shock over the increase in the overall numbers.

How'd that work out for Cleveland, anyways?

He is a shut down corner, the struggles he had early last year were primarily due to a new system.

yup,once he started picking up the system he started playing like a probowler. However, we don't need all that cap tied on a cb on a system that doesn't require top tier cb's.

ehhhhhhh, shuddup! I mean that in the nicest way possible.

I was just using an example with Rison to illustrate my point of ever since Plan B ending teams have overpaid to lure players to their city. Or keep players from testing the market.

Re: Funny! They all OVERPAID!!

When the salary cap goes up 30 mil in 2 years, players will seem to be overpaid, but thier not.

Re: Funny! They all OVERPAID!!

Personally I think the Clements contract and the possible Welker one are worse. Dockery is overpaid, but he is at least in line with what the other guards got this offseason, even if he is slightly less talented than those two.

But 80 million for Clements? Almost 40 million for Welker? That is a gross overpayment for those players in my opinion.
