They are choosing to pay it. For now. That well will eventually dry and common sense will become a little more common.

I think this is what happens also. It's early days in a new market. Paying top dollar for mediocre DTs who will likely put up mediocre numbers next season isn't a recipe for long term success. When these guys flame out, the market will dry up for this kind of player. I still think marquee players with established track records of performing will command top dollar, but we have a bunch of folks upset because we didn't pay top dollar for DTs that nobody had ever heard of three months ago.

And they should but those guys won’t hit the portal very often. You’ll get the guys wanting to jump from the G5 to the big boys and you’ll get some stars from bad teams who are changing coaches but most elite players aren’t going to leave where they are to go to a new situation and take the risk of hurting their draft stock.
