I should point out that the youth of Bowen and Cofield trumps all other arguments. They'll be premier players for us between now and 2013. If our current coaches can't play a scheme that wins a bunch of games with these guys, we'll bring in other coaches who might be able to.

So signing good young players, never a problem. Signing them to big money deals, eh, good organizations typically do it more judiciously, but this is crazy money time. That's why Stephen Bowen gets poached at more than $5 mil per year.

Josh Wilson's contract was, what, 3 years, 13.5 mil? That is a good contract for a young player. Bowen doubled that.
