[QUOTE="Sky King, post: 711154, member: 7171"] This got me to thinking that if the Cowboys are fine with $3 mil in cap space why are the Packers not okay with about $40 mil in cap space? This according to those posters who want several players to be released or to have players' pay cut significantly for cap considerations. This is not a question directed specifically at you, just a random thought that popped-up when I read your post. To me, lack of money is obviously not the critical problem that some make it out to be. The obvious problem is a lack of difference-making talent or quality depth and experience found at certain key positions - lacking just enough for this team to finish as perennial bridesmaid in recent seasons. Sometimes I wonder if the cap argument is just a front for those wanting to get back at certain players for not living up to their expectations, injuries notwithstanding. Having million$ in cap money saved every season would not be a worthy consolation prize for me unless it was deposited directly into my personal bank account -- and with the condition that I could spend money freely in any manner that I so choose. Since that's not going to happen I would prefer to see the team retain and secure better players rather than to miserly obsess with squeezing-out even more cap savings. This team can afford to do more than it does to secure more and better players. [/QUOTE]
