Ummmm, wow, why do we always pay a premium for everything? First time head coach who wasn't even a coordinator, who has only ever coached in a coaching tree that has not had success away from Belichick … and we pay a premium of a 5th year guarantee?
We paid a premium for Branden Albert, who lived minutes away from our practice facility and we eventually jettisoned because of that bloated contract. We paid a premium for Ndamakong Suh who we eventually jettisoned because of that bloated contract. We paid a premium for Mike Wallace and endured his antics because of his contract. Are we Minnesotta? Cleveland? Are we the smallest market team in a cold weather area with nothing else to do and heavy state taxes? Those would be places that have to pay a premium.
Wow, this is not confidence building information. So our front office and organization are so undesirable that despite the great environment, weather, lack of state taxes, everything to do, we still need to pay a premium? Ugh. I miss the Joe Robbie years.
