Just as in all things, moderation is key.
That's sort of the quandry though. How are you going to know how much an upper tier, higher paid free agent may impact/improve your team if you never roll the dice to find out?
I do think you have to be smart about it as well, taking into account how big the need is at the position, how well the player fits your scheme, whether the player was productive over a period of time and not just a contract year, injury history and other factors.
Free agency is always a gamble to a certain extent, but after 27 years without a single playoff win, I think it's about time they took that gamble.
