Splashing out all your assets to acquire someone like OEL is sort of the opposite of that philosophy. Doesn't need to happen. Nothing against the player at all.

I was never making the point we should break the bank for OEL, I was stating that Backlund + Wotherspoon will never get a player his caliber or even Yandle for that matter.
