In all fairness, let's not forget that the new collective bargaining agreement was signed in 06, which allowed us to avoid "cap hell" or perhaps cap purgatory at least. If a new deal was not struck we would've had some serious decisions to make.

Restructuring & pushing bonuses back eventually catches up & we've seen it before. The Skins have adjusted to the cap well, and have shown restraint when they've had to, e.g. the 05 & 07 offseasons.
