well lets take the sharper example....
to the packers he WAS worth 6 mil cap this year, actual like 2.5 mil salary.
on the free market he WILL get a 2-3 million per year + 6-8 million signing bonus easy.
so your thought of worth just went haywire.
same with wahle, and rivera. we could have kept them for the same salary, or a tiny bit more, but teddy didn;'t think they were worth it. obviously others thought they were worth over 2 TIMES what we were paying them. thye both got deals thatwe could have easily matched.
no we have a quarterback in the twilight of his carrer, and will be making most of his passes from his back, or injured on a sack.
this is the most telling comment:
But this is what we do. We work at it and we try to assemble the best team we can, and maybe the next left guard and the next right guard isn't as good as the one we had before.
"But maybe we're a little better somewhere else. That's the way we'll attack it and do the best we can."
