Re: y'all are NUTS
Well look at it from my standpoint.
Sure I got nailed with a 600 cb cap hit, but I got a stud RB and the one I liked more. I knew Ricky at 3000 was overpriced, but I believed Alexander at 2750 is a great deal and I still do. Not taking into account rookie comp, I would gladly take Shaun Alexander and his 2750 contract, over Ricky Williams and his 2600. The one mistake I made, was that I misjudged the impact of the Rookie Comp Picks, but since it was the first year no one could really tell how it would effect RFA, I'm giving myself some slack. With the Rookie comp and the 600 cb hit to a divison rival, you come out great considering in RFA you would've only kept one of the two. With Shuan Alexander to team with Clinton Portis, I still got a pretty good deal. Improved my team by leaps and bounds.
Bitter? A bit, that 600 would be helpful in adding 1 more young player, but I really like how my team is taking shape. With C-Mart, I am not just driving up his price, but I'm adding quality depth at the RB position. He'll be a more than solid bye week filler for Alexander and Portis. My roster will have great starters and decent depth at the RB position with Martin as RB3 and Perry and Fargas waiting in the wings. I'm sacrificing depth at positions but I'm trying to win this year, not 5 years from now, which you're heading towards looking at your roster right now. I'm placing all my faith in having an injury free season (to my starters at least), but if they do stay healthy I'd take my starting lineup over anyone's.
Williams won't be overpriced until he reaches around 2800 IMO. In the UFA market RB prices tend to be a bit higher because teams are scrambling for them. And overpriced depends on he team. RW would be overpriced to you b/c you won't be competing for a championship this year. For Philly (at least he should think this way) Williams would make him an instant contender.
