Funny u should say that. He sounded strange like he was maybe sick or something and didn’t have the usual energy. I sensed some favoritism for the bills as well although that didn’t bother me as I despise the lions.

Disagree. They still have to carry that dead space against the cap which is part of the reason some teams are perennially successful versus other teams that are always in cap jail. Denver is "lucky" their qb is on a rookie contract.
it’s fungible…teams avoid “cap hell” many different ways…one popular way is to add voided years on the back end so they lengthen the time of the deal knowing full well that the player will either be released or retired…dead money is a thing, but orgs act like it’s a prison that prevents you from adding players via free agency or trade.
look at what the rams are doing…”fuk them picks” went all-in to get stafford a ring…they haven’t suffered at all.
and true, the best way to win a sb is with a qb on a rookie contract…that or have mahomes.
Agree that there are all kind of strategies to deal with it, soften the blow, or stretch it out. My only point was that it does have to be accounted for versus something like baseball where the Yanks or Dodgers just dip into their network/merchandise money and say F the luxury tax, we'll sign whoever we want. It's one of the actual good things about the NFL. Theoretically, the cowboys, cardinals, jets, and squealers are all the same in terms of the potential to put a product on the field.
the business side of sports is of no interest to me, except for the fact that what pro players are paid is beyond ridiculous. That alone takes away much of my interest in pro sport itself. Now that is starting to be the same with college sports. What a shame. I'm glad to be old enough to have been around when some sanity was still present and outside commercial interests weren't in control..
The video is pretty interesting and a bit concerning.
concerning? It's downright scary. It's like fighting sleep because you think you're going to have nightmares, and when you wake up the nightmare will still be there. It's insane to see something you've enjoyed and participated in for a good many years start to unravel and reform into something ugly in such a short time.
What they're talking about is hard to wrap your head around as becoming reality.
