the FO is using long term cap planning to justify their signings and lack of signings.
yes, dak, zeke, bjones, dlaw, jaylon and others will take a lot of cap space, even accounting for contracts that are back loaded using bonus to manipulate the cap.
that is all true, and only an indepth analysis of the cap will show how much they can spend etc.
however, anyone with any cap knowledge knows that they can EASILY push the major cap impact to after the 2020 season with restructures.
why is that important, that is because the CBA expires after the end of the 2020 season.
so the question is does anyone in the NFL think the cap structure is going to stay that way.
or do they KNOW that the union is itching for a fight.
or in another words, the 'keeping our own players' is a lame excuse because the union will not stand for another CBA like the last one.
the jones should be well aware of where things are going so they should adjust their cap structure accordingly.
