A good defense is directly related to how much you have to pay your franchise player. Romo, in this case, is stripping financial resources to bring in really good defenders. JJ put all his chips on the offensive table thinking he could have his team just continue to rack up points. That doesn't work well historically speaking in the NFL. Defense Wins Championships.
One of Seattle's successes this year is we can afford to stack our defense 3 deep with talent that would be (or WERE) starters in the NFL on any other team because we're paying our QB mininum wage (well, NFL Min wage which is something like $600k a year) That will all end next year. A lot of free agents will be moving on. Our 3-deep at every position defense will be no longer.
