It's like people forget what 2012 was like, when we had Binns starting and a couple rookies barely contributed. It was a mess.
In 2014 we had a couple injuries and it was a mess again. Without Jones and Sanu, we're needle thin at WR, yet people think we can just plug in a couple rookies without missing a beat. What if AJ or Eifert miss time (which has happened) and we have a couple of raw rookies on the bench? No thanks.
Not all of these FA's are going to be overpaid. After the first few days, you start seeing more realistic deals. Honestly, I think a lot of people just don't want to advocate FA in any way shape or form.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
