Basically, it just means everything is more expensive for the fans. Second, Whit was older than dirt, when it comes to O-linemen. Can we get over the decision not to offer him a 3 year stupid deal. They offered him a very good one year deal, which he turned down. Yes, he proved he could still play, but at the time all the odds were against that. Thirdly, what the Factory of Sadness paid Zeitler was insane for what he brought. Yes, he was good, but he was too expensive. The problems the Bengals have do not come from not resigning those players..... they come from not drafting or trading for quality replacements.

I heard a stat of sorts on the NFL Network yesterday that Aaron Rogers' new deal would place him behind 61 contracts in the NBA, in terms of guaranteed money.  They listed names of guys I had never heard of before that made more in the NBA than Rogers.

Baseball is the same way.  

I think the NFL is the sport that has the best competitive balance of all the major sports.  I do believe, however, they need to address long term health care for their former players.  I wonder why they haven't created their own insurance company.
