Yep. The judgement has sucked. I read somewhere we are top 5 in DL/OL spending. The issue is we have zero productive picks in the trenches now that Sam is in decline, and none on rookie deals (Mims could change that). And while we pay for FA's, we don't go top drawer, but overpay for OK/mediocre/good (Hubbard, BJ Hill, Rankins, Cappa, Karras, Stone, Moss, Pratt). A couple of those are OK if they are still above average players (Hill, Hilton, Karras), but the others, sadly, no longer are.
Cut them, reinvest the savings in better players at fewer positions, and go draft to replace the highly paid starters who are playing at replacement level or below anyway.
