Well, I can't say that I'm surprised. I mean, a few people on this board tired to explain it, over the years. You can't pay out record deals to everybody and expect to field a complete team. Fans complain about Safety or DT or LB or whatever other position but it's not like it hasn't been explained, over and over and over again. You can't build depth, you can't field a complete team unless you invest wisely. Don't pay RBs mega deals, don't pay players early, don't buy into next man up mentality, don't pay out mega deals to one dimensional players, don't pay out mega deals to guys who don't produce in game changing areas. IE, guys who are really good against the run but don't put up the Sacks and Pressures. All of these things, we've done and the overwhelming number of fans have been all for it. But see, you can't have it both ways. You either have to make smart, hard decisions on certain guys or you live with a team full of high paid, high profile players that aren't going to be enough.
It is what it is but you can't say you haven't been told, a lot of times people.
