We are absolutely not in cap trouble. So whatever happened years ago, we are not in cap trouble with mediocre players. We are in a great cap situation.
The colts and patriots spend wisely (one on their own talent and the other on bargain free agents). Neither spends huge money in FA. And they are the undoubted models of long term consistency in the league. I would hope the Texans are smart enough to follow suit. The skins and boys are proof that the NFL is more than a spending contest.
Now one FA signing does not make for an irresponsible spending spree. I don't mind overpaying for a single player if he makes a difference (you overpay for any FA). My problem is with your idea that those two teams are a good model of how to aquire talent.
