The part where he claims that the top paid players in the league are underpaid makes no sense.
Teams generally re-sign the best players on their roster, so any team that starts paying the guys in free agency more than the guys retained by their original teams is overpaying.
When you just look "long term" the Bengals conservative theory makes sense, but when you have a team that is just one or two players away from competing for a championship you have to take a chance on free agents.
Agreed....and that time for us was 2013-2015.....we let that slip away.
