Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 866748">That is an unfortunate misperception.  The hard cap is a zero sum game.  Whoever you sign there is somebody you can't sign or must cut.You mentioned the Saints.  The key to their recent success is stacking a couple of outstanding drafts in recent years, quite a few very good players on cheap contracts freeing cap for vet signings.  Even so, they too have not gotten back to the Super Bowl.I don't disagree with your suggested signings, but it's clear there is not enough cap for all of those names and types without cuttings somebody(s) you would rather not as the cap situation stands now.By the way, I guess you also expect Clark to be playing on the 5th. year option.  That would not surprise me but you did not include that in your assumptions.  Oh, the cap doesn't matter so this shouldn't either.  Where there's a will there's a way, right?One caveat:  As noted elsewhere it is possible the cap will jump significantly in 2020 and beyond with the completion of the Las Vegas and LA stadiums along with the new CBA terms which might open the possibility of an extra unanticipated back-loaded contract of note.  But that's another one of those irrelevant cap issues where we await more clarity.</blockquote>
