Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 768082">The math ain't that fuzzy.  What is fuzzy is whether you can get enough players who can actually play now out of the draft and how healthy the team will be.You may not be aware, but the reason teams don't go over the cap once the 53 man roster is set, yada, yada at final cut downs is because they CAN'T.The NFL cap is the hardest of hard caps.  The league approves all contracts.  They will not approve a contract that takes a team over the cap once the season starts.  If you have zero cap at that juncture, a player goes to IR, and you have no cap to replace that player, tough luck buddy.You then have two choices:  play with 52 or cut somebody that clears enough cap for the IR replacement plus the replacement for the guy you cut if you want to get back to 53.  And the guy you cut will need to have insufficient vesting such that his salary was not guaranteed for the year at week one.Dallas and Washington was an entirely different situation.  2010 was an uncapped year under the terms of the final year of the prior CBA.  The league had some kind of internal guidelines limiting teams from going hog wild in a "win now" spending spree.  Washington and Dallas were deemed to have overstepped those limitations.This is not that.  The cap is hard and unbreachable once the season starts.</blockquote>
