Way more people are getting paid than just Portis and Brunell... Hell, I think Deon, Jeff George, Trotter, Mark Carrier, Dodsen, Brad Johnson, and a few others are still getting paid by our Skins...

I want them to win too, but the way to do that isn't by buying the team. It is about forming a team and that is what the Eagles and Patriots have done so well.

It is about making the tough decision to let players go when it doesn't make sense to pay them but having the foresight to draft player positions to fill those holes as contract years arise and be proactive in spotting those problems. Not by renegotiating every freakin' year to spread the cap cost of the contract to be cap friendly one or 2 years down the road. We are awful at doing that and we spend so much in dead money every year we couldn't even afford to franchise Smoot because if he signed the one year tender we would have had to cut 8 key players to get under the cap...
