You have to understand, we're about to have over $70 million in cap space after parting with Dalton and Glenn, and hardly anyone on this team is worthy of a fat raise, which is what happens when your team is coming off 4 straight losing seasons.
Mike may not like free agency, but he's also been good about spending close to the cap, as we've been only (roughly) $10 million under for the past 4 seasons. If we hold true to that, that means we need to spend $60 million this off-season.
I'm not going to say it's going to be a free agency bonanza, but I'd lay money down on us being very active for a change.
Agree, this is the first time in a long time I feel this way.
Well said Shake.

The guaranteed money thing really hinders us as far as the types of guys we can realistically think about signing.
Very frustrating to say the least.
