[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 999690, member: 7261"] So, it is only "fitting" that billionaire NFL owners get the same "loopholes" to build their team. ;) I don't really view the cap structure though as allowing teams to "not pay". It is set up to allow them to adjust how and when to pay. Which I actually think is a good system for the following reasons and I will use the Packers as an example. A team (Packers 2018-23) that is right on the brink of greatness, can push money out and go "all in" for a year or two. However, after that time period is up, they start feeling the sting of shedding all that excess cap that was piled up. A team can also us the cap system to "build for the future". I can't remember what the number is, but a team can carry excess cap into the following season. Along with doing that and not pushing actual salaries out, a team can rebuild with younger players and cheaper vets. Then when they are ready to go "all in", they have the means to do it. The trick is balancing somewhere in between the 2 methods, in my opinion. To go from greatness to terrible isn't going to please a lot of fans or owners. [/QUOTE]
