Are you talking artificial contracts, like the present Revis deal - the absurd "salary to make you the highest paid player"-type deals? I always view the "win now" approach as locking players in with high value contracts (outbidding other teams) with bonuses to match (creating lots of "dead money" problems down the road when player skills deteriorate). The artificial deals mean little in terms of flexibility, so I assume you are talking about the latter.
I don't know what I'm talking about, that's why I bring it up. I'm not expecting Revis and Mccourty to take phony contracts, and i hope they can work out something with Mayo and wilfork. Pretty resigned to probably having to replace Vereen and Amendola if they aren't willing to negotiate.
My only point is...the patriots system, Pitt, Dallas, whatever you can think of manages to be competitive year after year and expects to have to patch certain positions with low priced players.
Brady is playing like ak id, but there will come a time when he's either a little slower, or gone and a new dynasty will have to be built. It's just reality. We don't need to get a single high priced free agent to have a great, but expensive team with our core players now.
