Well, it's true that it always comes down to money and what the market will bear, Mr. BigRedChief. That's true. Every time an NFL player takes the field, he's auditioning.

But, the larger portion of my pea brain is leaning toward thinking that, when you are fully committed to the whole "developing your own guys" concept, you're not only trying to get guys to do what they're told and do it at a high level, you're also trying to get them to "buy in" to your program and your system.

This means that, when you add opportunity cost to the equation and consider the amount of time it takes to replace an existing player with a new guy and assimilate him into the organization, you can't help but want to keep the guys you have and avoid losing them to FA ... ideally, that is.
