Dead Money
Is a falsity, any team can maneuverer their cap to create as much money as they need.
The difference is, if you feel that its the right time to do so.
Nothing wrong with proper cap management, but the teams that succeed know when to strike while the irons hot.
I wont pretend to be a cap expert, but without even looking, I would bet that Cleveland has a ton of cap space...lol
That's the same philosophy that has kept the Cowboys in cap he11 since the cap started. Every time a team restructures a contract they 99.99% of the time are just eventually adding dead money to their cap in future years because very few players ever see the end of a restructure contract. By restructuring contracts all a team is doing is kicking the cap problem down the road. Stephen has publicly said that teams can't continue to restructure contracts if they want to get the cap under control. The Cowboys have done it from the getgo but Stephen is seeing the error in that and wants to hold that to an absolute minimum.
