Since people don't seem to see what I'm getting at, here was my thought process. My ribbing of Frank had nothing to do with the Wayne's price (irrelevant to my concerns), but timing. Matt was in cap hell. He's got 5 excellent WRs and is in desperate need of a QB and starting RBs. Until he can decline Wayne, he was stuck. I know how bad he wants a QB (based on all the trades he's tried to make) and he traded for Anderson with the intent to match, but he's got no room to do so with Wayne on his squad.
So I threw Anderson out for a bid that would cause him deep pain to match. He'd have had to free up $435 to match $850. His easily cutable guys equal less than $400, so to cut enough guys to make room would require him to cut deep into guys that he wants to keep. Or swing a trade. Or do something drastic to make it work.
Of course, that only works when he's stuck up against the cap. Now he's free not only to match Anderson, but have money to enter the RFA market, too.
If a good team has put themselves in a box, I say we keep our foot on the top of the box (or even push it down a little). I figure if us lower teams wanna move up, the higher teams gotta come down in the procees.
Oh, well. Onto other strategies…
Yes, Matt, I'm gunning for ya. You've "made it"
