My question is why are we the only franchise in the league that does this? Consistently, year in and year out, we are over the cap and are able to restructure contracts turning base salaries into bonuses and then writing down the total cap hit. What is the downside? Is it guaranteed money in future years? It seems like the FO has been able to do this for several years yet no other team in the league is either this creative or this stupid. Every year, we are supposedly in salary cap hell but I haven't even felt it get remotely warm around here. So what is the downside?
