I disagree, i feel TD has no issues paying top dollar to top players, aka Takeo Spikes. When you have talent like Spikes or Clements, and they are worth the money, I think TD pulls the trigeer. I think you are confusing the idea that TD assesses each player with a value, and if the value and dollars match up, I think in an ideal situation he goes for it. TD willl not pay top dollar to a Jonas jennings type, because he simply isn't worth it. Some players like Nate, they are special talent and a bonus to the team. I don't know how anyone can argue that Clements is overrated. He consistently gets picks, is fast, an excellent cover corner, competitive, and seems like he loves the game. Not only that, he can return punts very elusively. Why let a guy like that walk?
