you want a team spending over 120 million to yield a losing record? Yea that's a great investment of players and coaches. Bottomline is when you spend a lot you should be competing with good teams and definitely should be pounding the piss out of teams like Jax.

I don't think anyone has illusions that we are spending money to be a super bowl contender right away. We spent money, but we are focused on building a good young foundation and we aren't cap strapping future contracts.

Many of those contracts are front loaded and given how many guys we cut, a good chunk of that money is dead money for piolis players. If it felt like we were blindly and desperately throwing money at players, I'd feel differently.
