Please jeebus. Colts sitting on 40m and all these trades and deals going down and I see 0 of it involving us. Hopefully we're going heavy on D and O linemen, because we need A: a pass rush and B: to keep Andrew Luck alive for at least 15 years. The rest is just gravy.

That's reality. Of course you should probably be considered a desperate team but you just have to trust that the FO will do right. No idea if that's a reasonable expectation in KC.
Chanur, is Eddie Royal staying in SD?

More like Jed York got his shiny new stadium so no point in worrying about things like winning now, not when you can save $30,000,000 by jettisoning your 3x-NFC-Championship-and-1-Super-Bowl-reaching-coach and dumping star players salary.

Yes and no, teams that were below the floor in previous seasons have to play catch up to ensure that over either a 4-5 year span* coming up they have spent a total of 89% of the salary cap since the new CBA was signed.
*(Don't remember exactly the details but that is the gist of it).

Okay, then yeah, going to see a lot of overpaying going on. Rarely, if ever, are day one FAs worth the money they get paid. I mean, yeah, Suh is pretty fucking good, but he's not the last cog in a Miami wheel that's fallen off the last few years. Pats are the model of a consistent winning franchise (at the moment) and they're rarely players for big name free agents (feel free to correct me here though). Cowboys turned around a consistently 8-8 franchise last year and the biggest name they grabbed in FA was Mincey. They've been building through the draft and doing their best to resign their own good players.

Fairly reasonable. The FO is fairly new, and Dorsey GM came from the GB Packers and built a pretty good team there. Time will tell.
This.
Pats have done amazing things in an era where its incredibly difficult to be a contender just about every single year.
You can't just throw money at one or two guys and expect to win. Miami has bigger issues than just adding Suh to the lineup and that money they are paying him could be used to improve 3 or more positions with players that would have a larger collective impact. I'll laugh if that ass hole breaks his leg trying to stomp Brady when he is on the ground.

I sure hope so. He was kind of instrumental in landing Flowers to the team so it sounds like he is a good team player. That being said I have unfortunately heard nothing one way or another which has me hopeful.
I also like Hoyer to the Texans. I think he would have gotten them to the playoffs last year.

I can't remember the number, but on ExtremeSkins they brought up what the number was. It's basically that you have to have an average salary over the next two years of something significantly higher than it had been ($138M maybe?). Means everyone will have to do a lot of spending either this year or next.
