Daseal..you act like the FO should have just paid them whatever trhey wanted to keep them. At what point would you actually say they weren't worth it? Gibbs and comp decided what they thought they were worth and stuck to it. When you decide a guy is worth a 10 mil SB you don't raise it by even a dollar if you are going to stick to your principle of not over paying guys. We have conistently over paid for guys for years now and it hasn't worked. Maybe it is time to try something else and show some restraint. Others are right when they say that IF Snyder wanted these guysback so bad if would have happened. He doesn't have the frugality gene needed to let quality players go when you could stop it. Gibbs and comp convinced him not to over pay for them. Now if we want to argue about whether they were correct or incorrect in their valuation that's a legitimate discussion. Blaming Coles for this(while I have total disdain for him for the position he put us in) is ignoring the forrest for a tree.
