And we were willing to overpay a bit for Rankins (who had half his sacks vs Volson and stinks vs the run). And for Sample ($4.9 mil) and ADG ($3 mil). 

But we have some imaginary line in the sand on Reader? Pay the elite guy. Save $3-$5 mil elsewhere. Restructure someone (OBJ, Burrow). It isn't complicated. 

We seem to want to "win" every transaction instead of viewing it wholistically. 

This has been a real problem over the years.  I don't know how much it is now, but it has been a very long term issue.
