Most GM's, especially Ted Thompson, also gets some nice value on certain players, so it comes out in the wash, somewhat. Sometimes it can be worth it to overpay a little though, but certainly not all the time.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I don't see the fuss over Jones since he didn't get enough money that even if we cut him right now we wouldn't be hurting. I see people complain about Burnett a lot too but when he signed that deal his 2011/2012 seasons were every bit as good as some of the S that people are wanting Ted to sign and are getting similar deals. He just had a down year compared to his previous years for whatever reason.

It's like a kick in the ass every time one of these guys like Ward gets signed elsewhere. Come on, Ted, reel in Byrd. We can certainly afford him.

Uh, nevermind.

Well, we'll just have to see who they slap together back there and hope for the best. We still have a lot of dough to make a splash somewhere else if Ted so chooses. I just happen to think it is time we hit on a key veteran acquisition at a position of need. We are too young, and we have been for years. We need experienced, high quality play and leadership on this team.

I'm very disappointed Ted let Byrd hit NO. He is one player in FA that we really, really could have used. Now, we will be forced to draft a S in R1 or R2 out of need, letting other potential game breaking players slip away to our competition.

Or, does Sean Richardson make a splash next season? I guess there is our hope. It is pretty much all we've got.
