“Free agency to me should be middle-priced to below-priced guys, not the high-dollar guy that is going bring a big bang when you sign him,” said Nix.
“I can’t tell you we are going to the playoffs in a year or two years, but we should be headed there, and soon,” Nix said. “It doesn’t matter what kind of splash you make now. What matters is two years or three years down the road that we’ve got this thing turned in the right direction and we’re winning.”
“We take places that we are weak at after the draft and we plug in guys that can fill in and fill a role,” said Nix. “Kris Dielman, in San Diego, he was a defensive lineman that couldn’t run and we moved him to guard and he goes to the Pro Bowl, though it took a lot of work. Those are the kind of guys that I am talking about. Not guys that are going to be a tremendous hit today, but a bust later on.”
“I think that money ought to go to our guys that have played good and you reward them by extending and keeping them around,” Nix said. “We know what we got, let’s build that way. Let’s make the team know we are going to do that.”
