Right now, I am of the opinion that there has been a swing in our reputation among FAs because of this change in philosophy. Without the ludicrous contracts, FAs are going to shy away until Coach Zorn and his staff show that they are capable of winning in this league. FA's are interested in big money or winning. Since we are no longer paying the stupid contracts, it's a wait and see as to the winning. I think that once the staff proves itself as winners, then we will once again be looked at as a marquee franchise among FAs.

As long as we're in the NFC Beast we'll commonly be known as a marquee franchise that many players will like to play for.
I'm not worried unless we stop selling FedEx out every week...and you know that's not happening anytime soon.
