I'm having a hard time thinking of any times in the past when we've overpayed our own free agents(I haven't been a fan as long as most of you, so perhaps my memory just doesn't go back far enough). Overpayed for other teams' free agents, yes. Let our own good players walk, yes.

But paying Orakpo, or any others we've drafted and developed, is very different from paying another teams' free agent, and I don't think it follows that "crappy business model" mentioned. It's not nearly as much of a gamble, for one thing.
