Most of the guys on that list (and I know ifs not exhaustive) were pre salary cap days - I don't know the answer to this discussion but the cap is going to have a lot of say in answering this question for the Rams.

So are you really saying that teams don't keep their best players in the salary cap era?

?

Of course they do. Unless they plan poorly.

It's just rare that an elite DT is one of those players around the league for the simple reason that elite DTs are themselves that rare.

No one says "if we had Mean Joe Greene it would mean we could build a tremendous defense around him, but we're not going to do that because we won't pay Mean Joe Greene."
