Proven NFL Talent Today > Possible NFL Talent 3-4 years from now
Not if you are going to spend the same amount on both.
At the level we are going to be spending there is not going to be any difference between the guys who were not re-signed because they were not that good or the guys who were released because they were not that good (or maybe just overpaid).
What you call "proven NFL talent" fails pretty often.
