But that's NOT because of a lack of money. It's because the Hunts are notoriously cheap.
Furthermore, like OTWP stated, I highly doubt that after years of being pursued for a GM position, Scott Pioli would take a job with the caveat of not being able to spend money.
For proof, they shelled out over $30 million alone this year for Cassel and Jackson.
I personally believe that Pioli & Haley not only did a poor job of evaluating the talent available in the 2009 draft, but they also did a poor job of evaluating the existing talent on the roster.
Starting Niswanger and cutting Pollard being just two examples.

But Dane, they'd rather have guys who are good citizens and don't talk back to coaches over talented players.
It took an injury to get Goff out of the lineup, and interestingly enough, ever since he's been out, Cassel's time to throw has almost ****ing tripled.
It took some gay slurs to get LJ out of the lineup, and what do you know, the running game is producing.
We're in an evaluation year, yet they won't give playing time to the players that need to be evaluated.
I'm starting to think Whitlock was right about the "ego" thing - can't wait to see the piece he puts together after the Denver game.
