And the other side of the coin are teams that refuse to do so and draft QB's late in the 1st or 2nd and save that money.
If Jay Cutler had played for the Jets, Bills, or Seahawks would they have won more games or been better off?
Seattle won it all with a 2nd year QB and the Jets & Bills wouldn't have made the playoffs with a Cutler anyway...
