Yes, there is a salary cap that does not mean you don't desire for ALL your players to be elite. Not mutually exclusive thing. The cap is there if you have crap players or elite players. Yes, elites cost more but you want as many as you possibly can but not you guys... you guys will say there is a cap and brag about how smart you are and how dumb I am because I'm not aware of what the cap means.

3) You can probably only afford 2-3 maxed contracts for their position. The Packers have two with CM3 at LB, and Aaron Rodgers
These 3 points are "water is wet" arguments.
The one thing where maybe we disagree on, is knowing you can probably only afford 2-3 maxed out FA players (not talking draft picks, I'm saying FAs/retaining your own after their rookie contract) I would favor spending the top end $ on top talent at QB, pass rush, and
arguably one of your tackles or CBs before I'd side with paying it to a WR. That doesn't mean I don't want a top end WR, it doesn't mean that if we drafted Megatron I wouldn't strongly consider resigning him, just that ideally, in most circumstances I'd favor diverting that $ to the other positions.
