I'm confused. You act like by not extending Vacarro we're going to get someone cheaper and better..... that's not how free agency works these days. You draft your own talent, if that doesn't pan out you PAY for expensive young players at their positions.
The rookie wage scale and really the length of time a team owns the players rights has completely distorted the pay curve(contrary to what the NFLPA thought would happen).
Teams pay nothing for players under 25 essentially and nothing for players over 30. Any starting caliber player in between those 2 points is getting paid top tier money automatically because so many teams have huge of amounts of excess cap space sitting around.
