Man, things are looking bad right now.

Things are going to be okay. Think about it, how many "big name" stars have gotten us to the playoffs or the SB in the past few years? As long as the money is more important than the team, players are going to come and go. Players might be more willing to stay once we start winning and they see that patience and a methodical approach win out over impatient big name signings. Look back at the '99 season - our only playoff season since Gibbs' first tenure. That team wasn't packed full of pro bowl stars, but mostly a bunch of young guys who brought their lunch pails with them to work. This offseason shows that we're finally becoming more responsible with our spending. It doesn't mean that we are sitting great with the cap, but we're trying to pay the guys a reasonable salary who want to stay here and letting the other guys go that would rather be considered the highest paid player at that position rather than a Super Bowl champion.
