[CBFF] Curious Questions

[Victor Waldron (CBFF)]

That man would be Adrian Peterson, who has shown to be a very capable 
RB. What you are suggesting is the nature of the NFL........why guys 
like Briggs expect a big payday as will Vasher very very soon (the 
latter being an extreme bargain as a 3rd rounder still playing on his 
rookie contract). In the salary cap era once you build a good/great team 
the difficulty is keeping it together. Some teams do better than others 
but the name of the game is "most bang for the buck." So far JA has done 
a very good job, but he has some tough decisions to make after this 
coming season.

Now Cedric is the man man so to speak, another back steps up, or gets brought in and it Seems that it would be a good chance on this turning into a vicious cycle.  But, thats just my opinion.
