Great post Hogskin, and I agree that the Skins are doing a fine job managing the cap.
90% of the writers out there who talk about the cap and curse out Snyder don't even understand the cap in the first place.
Here's the question - what does it even mean when someone says that a team is in "cap trouble"?
Does it mean having a lot of dead money? Well the Skins have over $9M this year, but that didn't stop us from getting just about every guy we wanted/needed.
And what about the teams that don't even use the full cap? In fact I'm sure there are a few teams who only use the minimum cap (75% of real cap), then shove the extra $20M in their pockets.
There are so many intricacies of managing the cap that to simply say a team is in "cap trouble" makes no sense.
Personally I think Snyder is the best owner in the league. We should all be grateful we have an owner that actually wants to win and will do whatever it takes to win, regardless of how much money it costs him. He's made some mistakes and I'm sure he'll make a few others but at least his intentions are good.
