I agree. I think over paying a player is as bad or worse than staying out of free agency altogether. Need to find solid tier 1 players at good solid prices. Which I think we were all a little spoiled with the Hendrickson, Reader, Hilton, Bell, Awuzie, Cappa and Karras signings as they seemed to do exactly that. I'm just not sold that those weren't just some one off years of signing those guys mixed with us needing to sign some of our own.
