If you want to play in free agency, you have to overpay. The Skins overpaid for Haynesworth, the Seahawks overpaid for TJ and we overpaid for Coles. Tis the nature of the free agent beast. Your car analogy is a good one, but in free agency, it's a case of only a very limited number of cars being available. If there are 32 buyers but only 3 cars, well, that Geo Metro is going to cost $100k and the Porche will run you seven figures. >>Ummm, Rosenthal doesn’t accuse the Bengals of spending too much money, he accuses them of paying too much for mediocre talent<<
