[QUOTE=Defensewins;522151]We are the oldest team in the NFl and we have one of the highest payrolls. We have to stop bringing in old FA's. We have to stop renegotiating contracts of old players just to get below the cap, get rid of the old over paid players. Stop trading high draft picks for 34 year old FA's. But we always revert back to these bad practices because it is less painful. We build this team to win today, not to win for tomorrow.[/QUOTE]

Great post Defensewins. We bring young guys in from the draft but we still sell our future away by trading picks for older veterans with the idea that "We have a shot at the Super Bowl this year". Most teams have a "shot", but a legitimate shot? I don't think so.
