Re: no cap- why care what's spent?
 

It really was not alot of talent in the UFA pool this year. Most guys have/had injury history or were overrated to begin with. I mean damn, spend money just to spend money? That sh*t doesnt make sense, we have done that the last ten years and failed horribly.

My educated guess is the cap comes back in some form and now we will be better prepared to get guys we need with the salaries we have dumped.

Guys there is a plan this time and I feel the dumping of salaries and age is step one. Let the next steps play out before we jump all over the FO.

[quote=SirClintonPortis;676902]I can think of two reasons.

1. The laborers are given a disincentive to put in the maximum amount of effort. According to the consumption-leisure model, when wages get REALLY HIGH, laborers will choose to work less and spend more time with leisure.

2. Risk of getting burned if the cap comes back[/quote]

Especially #2.
