Much of Free Agency = Stupid Money

Sorry, I know there are other Free Agency threads here but I can't think of any other way to label MOST of what we're seeing in Free Agency, STUPID MONEY. Even without a designated CAP for 2010, these numbers are ridiculous.
NOW it seems apparent the pre-signings by the Phins (Carey, Crowder, etc.) made A LOT of sense before stupid money was thrown around.
A related topic: Pennington's $4.4M cap number in 2009 is a BARGAIN!
Cassel @ $14+ Million, Kurt Warner $11-$15M once signed....by the way LOTS of buzz in 49er-land today about his visit, talk radio LOVES adding Warner while hurting the team that finished just above them in their division.
One last point about Cassel and his trade to KC, I haven't seen anyone point out how much COMBINED CAP money KC absorbed with both Cassel & Vrabel. While the 2nd rounder does seem light "payment" from KC but maybe the Patsies needed to move BOTH to lower their cap space and KC was the only place that could work.
