We're running out of big contracts to get rid of and we're close enough to the cap limit where spending an average of $20 million per player on two guys is nearly impossible. Between Foles, Ramsey and Yannick we'd have over $60 million per year invested in 3 players. That would leave about $125 million to field the rest of the entire team (50 more players.) I just don't see that happening.

That's not the point, they said Cousins would kill every teams cap with that deal, didn't happen.

Seriously, take a look through our year by year salary cap, I think you'd be surprised by how healthy our cap is. Foles likely is gone after year 2 so you're looking at most one year with 3 players on 60 per year. 

Dareus, Calais, Bouye etc etc are not going to be here long time. Dareus will be gone next year, Calais in a year or two max, Bouye could be next year.

They NFL isn't like life. You can't use credit cards. You have an allotted amount of money to spend and when that's gone, it's gone. If there was no cap, we wouldn't have a problem. We easily keep them all. Unfortunately, there is and the NFL is not like the NBA, where you spend 80-90% of your cap on 2-3 guys. That wouldn't be smart. Football is different. You need 11 guys on offense, 11 guys on defense and special teams players, unlike the NBA where you only have 5 guys on the court.

Lol, man just look at the NFL every year, the cap barely matters. The eagles have been up against the cap and creating space while competing every year. 

How do they do that? Smart contract management, which (bar the QBs) is probably the thing the Jags have done best at.
