I am glad we changed course and are no longer the best at signing overpriced FA's and bullshitting the cap. It is about time we learned from the successful teams and followed their lead. It took Danny 10 years to figure it out. Better late than never.

No doubt about it. The Patriots now have 12 picks in this year's draft. TWELVE. Between this year and next year, they have 7, count 'em, 7 picks in the first 2 rounds. Unreal. At the precise moment when they have lost too many accomplished vets to be a real contender, they are set up to have a massive influx of serious young talent. IMO they are the benchmark of how to manage personnel. In the same vein, with Pioli now in KC, don't be surprised to see that team become the bell cow in AFC West in the not too distant future (especially if Matt Cassell continues to improve).

We don't get squat for cutting a guy. Why would we?
