This squad, this group of players.  They deserve a playoff run.  THIS YEAR

Cap isn’t real. It’s very easily manipulated from year to year.

The cap is real, it's just that it almost doesn't matter when you're only paying for players you want to keep. You can just move money out using signing bonuses. The cap is a problem when your team has to keep players they don't want because of the dead money and can't afford better players because of that.

Like I said, if they want to keep guys like Agnew they can do so. The real question is figuring out who is worth paying on this roster, because it's been a bad team, so clearly not everyone is worth keeping at more than the vet minimum.
