They don't change their approach, they'll keep falling behind even more. Denver and LA are going to be out there spending like freaking lunatics. If we don't watch ourselves, we are going to be battling to maintain our own division again very quickly.

I don't think we're being cheap, we're just spending our money in different spots or more concentrated. We have a $35m DT, a $27m RT, a $26m LG, a $20m TE, and a $10m OC next year. They have their money spread to $17.5m WR, $17.5m RT, $16m DE, $15m LT, $14m CB, and $11m TE. They have a TON of void money on their books. It won't all hit for a couple of years but when it does it's going to be a bunch at once and it's going to hurt them some. If it's being cheap not to do that so much, I'm not sure I agree with it. Plus, we're coming to a point in the near future where our distribution will change substantially, the next two seasons probably.
