But that's the point. If one idiot team overpays, than that is what sets the price.

This!! I just don't see Crabs wanting to stay here without a huge contract. If he's smart he'll look at the Deshon Goldson example and make a fare deal. If not,

It's all about the money.
Football players don't have guaranteed contracts and they know their window to make money could be over week one by an injury so it's all about getting what you can when you can.
Kap and Crabs will be friends whether they play on the same team or not. Do you think Flacco and Boldin aren't cool anymore? Do you think Boldin is mad Flacco got paid and it's his fault he's no longer a Raven?
Hell no!
This is what they busted their asses for all their lives.
Anyone can be replaced!!

Yep, this is just the business side of football.
The 2nd contract is always the biggest in your career. Plus, football is a very physical sport, a career injury can happen at any point in time.
That was why I never blamed Dashon for leaving especially when Baalke never had any intention in paying him. If Crab can get $10 mil+ elsewhere, then good for him. It is up to the team who to pay and who not to pay. Some might argue pay Aldon and let Crab walk, but seriously if Aldon demands too much, may be Tank can step in too. It all depends on where your priorty lies and you have to keep all your options open.
Like I mentioned before, whether we can keep Crab or not, we should still draft a top wideout next year.
Football has become a salary cap management business, you have to keep developing and finding new talents. The magic of success is to be able hand-pick top talents amongst the crowd and against other teams, enjoy the fruits of their 1st contracts at next to nothing for 4 years or so, then decide later whether you want to cough up some real dough to keep them.

Aldon is a HOF caliber player. He is staying put. Crabs, although i think he is great now, probably isn't. Neither is Dashon.
