That article was from a few years ago and was meant to point out the cap position that the Skins were in at the height of their wild spending. It doesn't necessarily reflect on how they are playing now. And it doesn't always work, some teams are forced to cut players in order to get themselves in a position to resign their own FA's.
Kinda like we were last year with aging players on both sides of the ball?
Look, I'm not proposing that we trot out a team filled with 23 year olds, but you have to give youth a chance to develop. I'm all for bringing in the right players via FA, I just don't see the wisdom of signing all the names that people have been throwing out there. I listed a few names in another thread that I thought were sensible signings, but they didn't include the Samuel's and the Haynesworth's of the FA market.
The only position that I wouldn't have a big problem with Miami spending some cash is NT. If a guy like Williams, Rogers or Jenkins were available and Miami was in position to get one of them, I'd say go for it. Our biggest problem last year was run defense, any one of those players would immediately imporve that area. But again, it has to be a sensible deal, which will be tough for us because there aren't many players that are willing to play for a 1-15 team, so we may have to overpay for FA's.
