Overpaying for free agents?

Is it normal for their to be the Jerry Jones/Daniel Snyder owners in every league who exaggerate the market for free agents?

I see quite a few players where the bidding wars are pretty competitive, while others where team are offering 5 or 6 times what anyone else is for what appears to be a mediocre player???

well there really isnt a bidding war for the players because no one can see other players bids they put on a player.

Now that said i think reason some people might give more money for a player is they want that player more or they cant lose that player to someone else so they give a outrageous bid so they wont lose him to someone else.

Keep in mind that good and fairly young free agents are fairly rare in this game, so if you want them you will be paying a premium.

This game also makes it quite easy to hoard your own big time free agents so everyone has plenty of cap space, even after the fix.
