Lol Benning gave us 5 years of Eriksson on the roster, and gave us 5 years of Myers, which was even worse. That was 6 mil of dead cap for 5 fricken years!!
You act like we don’t have any possibility of building a good team with the dead cap we’ll have. The reality, when you take off your chicken little costume, is that the cap penalty is pretty minor in all but two years. And even then you can plan around it. So many more important factors will play into this team being successful than a few extra mil in what is typically play money anyways.
I mean how many times has this team spent up to the cap and past it for a bottom 10 team? It’s not like more cap space automatically equals more success. From what I’ve seen it just equals overspending. What this does is forces management to be wise with their dollars. Something Benning wasn’t able to do his entire time here.
