I think it's the cool thing to say Pace gave out bad contracts and was terrible with spending.
Truth is, the media or fans would overstate the contract terms without reading the fine print. What really bad contracts were we stuck with that we couldn't get out of?
Eddie Jackson is an example if rewarding your in-house player and him going to trash once getting paid.
Trevathan 2nd contract was bad, but not detrimental to the roster. He played well for us and the injury bug ruined him.
I'll give you all Jimmy Graham, but at the same time the TE market was depleted.
Pace stood his ground with A-Rob.
We didn't hand out Trubisky a premature 5th yr option.
We have tons of cap space the next two years.
More people complain. Yet our new GM has paid top dollar to a DT that had one decent year in Cincinnati, yet coming off injury. I'm fine with swinging, just don't act like its any different than what Pace did.
