His other move is to secure talent when its available on the open market at a discount because of our ability to compete for rings. McCoy, Bell, etc...
Occasionally, he will make splash moves like Matheiu, Clark, Watkins, Hitchens, and now OBJ - those players were for the most part entering their early prime or mid prime. The only departure from that would have been Trent Williams, given his age. Thankfully, it didn't pan out.
Injuries, Age, and Elite Talent considerations aside, given JJ's price tag, I think it's a non-starter for Veach.
It is fun to dream, though.
