Im not talking about this year, this year we are fine no matter what, but our system of working the cap is dependent on turning yearly money into signing bonus money, which makes extends their contract because we do not have the room to cut them. Well all our guys that we routinely restructure, our core players, samuels, jansen, thomas, moss, portis, randle el. Are getting up there in years (I know portis is young, but I feel like his physical style of play will have him have a shortened career). We would have to pay old fragile players who are way past their prime loads of money and not be able to cut them. And it has a chain effect because we will have to restructure them again and again because we keep pushing the money back. The only way out of this in my mind is to build through the draft for a good 2 years, otherwise we will be stuck with players way past their prime, and paying them a kings ransom.
