I totally agree with that assessment. Don't forget Brunell, Griffin and Daniels, who have all been deemed grossly overpaid by the media. They poured a lot of money into big contracts this year, and they still have to take care of Smoot's contract also. That's a lot of money to try and hide under the future cap. I think it's safe to say that all of the players they acquired were necessities-- even if they weren't filling what most observers agree was their biggest need, which was on the defensive line.
