I am not saying that we will neccesarily go into cap hell; I just think that cap dynamics differ significantly for a winning team as opposed to a losing team.

I can't disagree more. The economics of the cap dictate that EVERY team in football turns over at least 1/3 of their roster a year. Teams like New England have tons of new players every year and still win. Whether you're a cap master or not has nothing to do with winning. I'd say the Skins are the best at the cap in the league because they consistently acquire new players and seem les stymied by the cap than other. teams. Now whether these player acquisitions are wise moves is an entire other matter.
