if by masterful you mean leading the league in dead cap, not having enough money for decent depth and having to pay more each year for smaller returns. not to mention the fact that the skins overpay all their FA signings anyways.
it hasn't bitten them because of the new TV deals, BUT, right now the skins need to rework four thousand contracts to get an FA while other teams are 30mill+ under the cap. This team is already at a competitive disadvantage as far as cap resources, not to mention draft pick disparity, overpaying (very poor price/performance on very big contracts), and the current lack of depth.
I mean, there's always luck and the chance we'll get 2 HoF guys as UDFAs, but right now next year ain't looking so hot. maybe if no one gets hurt and those 2 signings put the D back in the top 10 we got a shot...
