The rationale has been explained multiple times earlier in the thread. I don't care about Ralph's money. He's been willing to pay the wrong players in the past and overpaying for marginal talent or unmotivated players doesn't get the Bills closer to the playoffs.
What it does is leave the team in the same pathetic state, with increased ridicule from the rest of the league, and less willingness to throw cash at deserving players on the roster.
I like the Davis pick and price. I'd like to see the numbers for Edwards.
