The premium positions to pay are QB, passrusher and LT - but guess what, we dont have to pay those positions right now.
QB - even if we draft the next aaron rogers, he wont be paid franchise QB money for 5 years.
Passrusher - Wilk and coples arent FA for 3-4 years respectively and if we draft aldon smith, he has 5 years til he needs to be paid.
LT - Brick is on a very favorable contract, and has proven to be a durable player.
Plus, mangold is locked up, holmes and harris can come off the books soon, and we have all our picks in 2013 and 2014 right now.
So i ask, if we dont pay revis, what do we do in 2014????? Have a ton of cap space so we can run around and overpay the jared cooks and greg jennings of the world?
Look around at the successful teams - and please tell me who has struck gold signing an UFA? The really good organizations resign their homegrown players - they know them better, know their effort, their personal lives everything.
It is simply too hard to guage a player well enough to pay him a huge contract as an UFA when you dont know them.
So again - if we dont pay revis, who are we gonna pay?
