You certainly have to have some star players to have a great team. But the franchises winning Super Bowls are teams- made up up of talent that fits together into a complementary roster that aligns philosophy with cap space.
This isn’t fantasy football. Unfortunately our front office hasn’t learned that yet. I mean they’ve only had over a quarter century to learn it.
Building a complimentary team is not rocket science. It’s starts with a simple question: What kind of team are we trying to be on offense and defense? Does our cap spending reflect this philosophy?
You can’t build a winner without aligning philosophy and cap space.

- Offense- are we building around a strong running game with a complimentary passing game? Or is it the other way around? With the cap space dedicated to Zeke, Zack Martin, Ty Smith and La’el Collins, (he may be gone) it would appear to be for a strong running game. But that doesn’t match the way they play. And Dak of course is the biggest cap space here. So what are we trying to be offensively?
- Defense- Obviously, this D should be building around Micah Parsons who will remain relatively cheap for 3 more years on his rookie deal. IMO, the only thing that made our D appear to be “much improved” last year were the TOs and having a big play guy like Parsons. Diggs is great at getting some picks but his coverage skills need tons of improvement. And this D never has gotten better against the run. What are we trying to be defensively?
