You pretty much have to overpay in the NFL, especially if you've been shit the last few years. That's how free agency is designed.
The real key to winning is always to build through the draft, get a young core going that way and try to win a title while many of your top guys are in their cheap 4 year rookie contract (see: the Seattle Seahawks).
But since Reese is a fucking imbecile when it comes to anything past the first round of the draft leaving the Giants devoid of depth, we now have to rely on free agents.
