You do both. That is how good teams to do it.
At the end of the day, if you've drafted so well that you have no leftover space, then of course FA is used less.
But when you have cap dollars at your disposal you use them. We've got a 4 year window where Joe Burrow is criminally underpaid, and a 5th year where we don't have to mortgage the farm.
This window is where you "go all in" and can be more agressive in the approach.
What we can't do is leave dollars unspent. Or keep overpaid under-performers on the books. Or blindly give out loyalty contract to familiar faces.
No more rollover, no more hoarding money for a "Andy and AJ fund", no more tagging people like AJ Green.
