I think better drafting is the reason for this. They haven't needed to restructure as much because they have younger better players through the draft.
They are drafting very, very good... and that makes everything easier in putting a roster together. However, they’ve changed a lot when it comes to paying guys, and that has made all the difference in the world.
They stopped spending big in free agency and they’ve changed how they pay their own. It is just better all the way around.
So the trifecta of drafting great, working the salary cap great, and evaluating the talent (both in-house and in free agency) has allowed them to put together a fantastic roster.
Kudos for Jerry and Stephen for learning the right way.
