Having far more money despite the salary cap as it is does still give a competitive advantage. If Dan Snyder maxes the cap, he has a lot left over. If Green Bay maxes the cap, they will have a lot less left over. The Redskins have much more freedom to spend money than teams that have less.

And yes, one way that manifests itself is in coaching salaries.

It's America. Name one business that doesn't work that way. Making money is the name of the game for these owners, and asking other owners to give you their money isn't the best way to increase your profits. Heading up a successful marketing program for your football team and putting a good product on the field goes a long way, though.
