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.

That's what I don't get, for the past few years alot of people here and in the media alike have complained how we toss money around too freely, and now that the team is showing some restraint and responsibility with the cap, we want them to outbid anybody who tries to sign our FA's.

I said it in a past thread. The Patriots have been cutting high priced talent and winning Super Bowls. And we have been paying high priced talent with sub .500 seasons.
