The truth to it is a lot of you guys just don't understand how the salary cap works.

I will be the first to admit that I don't.

Some fans on FB want to the Cowboys to cut Miles Austin. They told me that the Cowboys save $6.7M. They told me that you don't take a hit to the salary cap in future years when you cut a player under contract. They had never heard of it.

The Roy Williams, MB3 contracts were about the worst.

The real problem right now is the flat cap; while it is not going up pushing money forward builds a bad problem. That has to be watched for several years in advance. THAT is the real limiting factor now.

Those were terrible deals. However, those deals hit us hardest in 2012. Did that keep us from signing free agents? Seems like we had one our most active FA periods then.
