OKay some needs to teach donnie banks some math.

Yes teams have plenty of money to spend NOW because the cap shot up and most contracts on the team were signed PRIOR to the new cap. What about in 5 years when every contract has been signed SINCE the cap uppage? It doesn't take a math genius to realize at that point even the lower paid guys salaries will have increased proportionally and the net effect will be that the cap isn't much different than it was before. This is simply the transition period before it all evens back out. Maybe that theory applies right now but it is not something to look at long term.
