they're paying young guys with lots of upside. its MUCH better than paying 35 year olds with 7 year contracts.

moss out played his contract, and over the last two years the only real underperformers were guys that got injured. As long as you're getting talent in return for your money, its not overpaying. the WR market sucked this year. R'El has the best character of the WRs, and lloyd has the best talent. all thats left is TO, bryant, and givens (who wants 5mill a year when patten only got 2.6, granted he's younger, but the production was similar).

the fact that we got 2/5 worthwhile WRs in 2 days is a boon. if we waited or tried to save money now, we'd have to overpay someone like givens who isn't as good.
