and the Rams once again overpaid a player they could have signed LT for about $8 million.
This is not just about Reid. The safeties are having a tough time. Management has decided they need to put money elsewhere. The QB prices are skyrocketing...the top defensive players prices are skyrocketing...the WR prices are skyrocketing.
Safeties are easier to find than QBs, DTs, DEs, CBs, WRs. It is what it is.
This whole thread is entirely speculation, on all sides.
So what evidence do you have, outside of your own speculations, that what you describe (bolded) is what happened to the safety market?
And it's okay if it's just your own hunches...this can be about opinion of course and mostly just IS about that.
However, is there any writer out there with informed sources who indicates that the safety market downturned for purely cap reasons...at a time when the cap is going up? That would be unusual you know...because the word "skyrocketing" aside, with the cap going up, the amounts for all 2nd contracts for all positions ALWAYS go up. There is no sudden uptick this year. They went up at ALL positions last year and the year before etc. What would be unusual is that in the midst of that, for the first time, a single position takes a downturn.
Is there any reasonable and objective account from informed sources saying why that is and that it's for the reasons you happen to believe? I don't think there is anything like that out there. Only editorial opinions.
Which again is fine and welcome, we just have to acknowledge that's what it is.
