1) You don't overpay a guy using money you have left.
2) Lang said in an interview that he gave GB and Detroit the opportunity to match. Then signed with Detroit. He may NOT have given Seattle the opportunity to match again. He may just have said that is about as much as I will make and if so even if Seattle matches or goes slightly higher than I go to Detroit.
What do you mean you dont overpay people with money we have? We just extremely overpaid for Jokel (my new name for him). With the cap space we had left, we could have offered Lang a few million more, not signed the luxury that is Lacy, and ended up with an actual player that would have improved the line and still saved a little cash. Now if Seattle was the bar setter for Lang and he refused a counter offer than its all a moot point.
