What makes signings like this possible...
is all of the little moves, the saving $$$ here and there, the letting guys go a year early instead of a year late, the constant focus on little details, the value-based personnel evaluation - like saving the egg money for years and years, it allows this F.O., at the appropriate time, to go out and land a BIG-TIME impact player like this. This thread is for all the little moves that went into this...
Vinatieri out, Gost in for less $$$
McGinest goes, TBC gets a shot (he failed, I guess, but we still got farther this year and for less $$$, so at least it didn't hurt)
Signing Caldwell for much less than, say, Jurevicious.
Sticking to our guns on Deion Branch.
And many more. It all adds up.
