The Rebels will get some support, but extensive background checks, phone tapping, email raiding, internet mining, and some drone surveillance has to come first.............Oh hell, I forgot, that's just for us U.S. citizens.

I'd take any of the line depth for cheap.
Also Dallas Clark is better than Luke Stocker. If none of the other tight ends emerge I could see us resigning him.
What makes Stockers skillset better than Bynam or Nobles?

Litigious Distribution.
A single individual involved in a dispute with a hospital can sue them, but the cost to go to court can quickly add up to more than the amount being contested. Most of the time, the hospital ends up getting the amount they charge, covering their own costs and the profit margin. But when a single payer is in charge of multiple payments, litigation becomes quite profitable. In fact, insurance companies end up paying as little as a third of the actual bill.
The hospital's reaction is simple and most predictable - triple the price. No, it didn't happen all at once, but it has been happening for some time, and we've all seen the results. The insurance companies have absolutely **CENSORED**ed us over, and in return they will be richly rewarded.
United States history has repeated this pattern many times. The farming crisis and ethanol are another recent example. The little guy lost out, the power became concentrated into fewer hands, and they were then able to use the system to gain undue influence. And that is the way that our current system works. It is illegal for the little guy to purchase influence from his local government official, but for those at the top of the chain, judicial and legislative favor go to the highest bidder. Executive favor can also be bought, but it will cost you quite a bit more.
Ordinarily, once the situation becomes so out of control that voters threaten politicians with their jobs, the offending monopoly will be broken up. The oil monopoly is a good example of this, and the definition of a monopoly has even become stricter to where we recently saw telecommunications being broken up. Now you see companies veering away from activities that could get them labeled as monopolies (Microsoft puts up a good example of how to walk this tightrope). But the insurance companies have been so insidious that instead of punishing them, their government pawns are going to force everyone to purchase their product. Impressive, really.
There is no argument for competition among insurance companies, they are in collusion on an issue where they all stand to gain an enormous windfall. But in the end, the issue still comes back to our government being for sale to those who can afford it. That has always been the issue since it was ruled that campaign contributions and lobbyist bribes were somehow "free speech."

Does this really matter with Sanchez still the QB in NY?
Who said Sanchez was still the quarterback? Mah sources told me Geno is impressing the staff

This is why some NFL players go broke, and others live healthy lives.
Is this why? Or is drugs, women, and gambling a bigger factor? This is like 1/200th o what he makes total this season. You spent that amount for lunch yesterday

Old vets = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, they generally want contracts for more years than they'll be effective as players, etc, etc, etc,.....
And what do you do with the young guys you know have potential? Between the salary cap and the roster limits, it's an obvious choice....
IF there's an injury, THEN the FO evaluates what they have and make the call if there's a vet out there they can sign to a reasonable contract.
