Quote:The trick is to only overspend on your core talent, the reason teams get into cap trouble is when they overpay mediocre talent too often (which is a big reason I don't like the Gerhart deal) 

 

The Redskins and Cowboys are probably the biggest offenders as almost every year they sign some average player to a whopping inflated deal, and then get burned by said player. However they seam to do it year in and year out.

 

Having a lot of cap room can also suggest you just aren't willing to pay your talent that you do have
