Exactly. Everyone needs to break the habit of thinking within the confines of a salary cap where our moves are constrained. The only thing that matters now is whether a free agent represents an upgrade over current players, taking into account the opportunity to groom other promising players for future roles.
I don't know if Leonard Little is the greatest option in the world, but in a year where we're making major transitions in terms of scheme, we should be making every possible move to upgrade the roster. The smart thing is to turn over 50% of the roster. There's nothing stopping us from doing so, might as well get the guys you want while you can. After all, continuity is not an issue this year, we already know we won't have any of it. Might as well set ourselves up now and try to keep the new core together for the future.
