Of course, the classic business equation Profit = Revenue - Expense means that the lower your expenses, the more profit you make. There in lies the issue. Scouts cost money. Firing coaches and hiring new coaches costs money. Signing Centers that are upgrades cost money.

Letting a free agent walk and getting an extra 4th Round comp pick that makes $400,000 a year for 4 years saves money. Sign another player at that position as a free agent and you'd spend atleast $1 million if not more.

By starting Bodine on a rookie contract for 4 years, we probably saved $12 million. Of course, he played poorly...but if expenses are lower, profit is higher.

Which is why it's just a business to make money and not a business to satisfy the local natives desire to celebrate championships. If anyone thinks the Brown family would gladly give up their wealth in exchange for a championship I have some prime ocean front, mountain view property in Nebraska to sell you. lol
