Don't know what paths for movement mean.
I do know, however, that I have history on my side w/ our own team. Those weaknesses I've referred to have become more and more telling. They've caused us to lose or the team to fall apart every time. Why? Because this game is not about paying 6-8 guys the max. That method is what you are proposing, and it has been proven to not work countless times.
There are certain positions you have to pay, QB being #1, of course. However, this huge number of pro bowlers has not led to super bowls. Ask yourself why it hasn't.
I'm not a numbers cruncher. I'm a problem solver. Crunching numbers is not going to solve this. Figuring out our lack or success might.
You feign knowledge...but the killer is dead money and players that then sit upon the sidelines when receiving top shelf money. The market just doesn't expand cost because of demands made by privilege demanding athletes. Most teams in baseball don't last long with players being retained are in the $20+ million a year for extended contracts. I would assume that the NFL isn't free from a similar 'cap killer' despite assuming their self supporting 'blessed' perches.
There is a limit to top shelf and player costs...first. Stay around long enough with teams attempting to buy a championship.
There is a relief in a Cowboys managed cap...as they place money in long termed and top producing players. There contracts are no longer as abstract as in the past. The thing now, is in their attempts at improving the quality of depth through out the roster. Offensive line was the killer this past season. But there, give me a five year window for an entire offensive line and with those same Pro Bowlers at what ever their current market price...and I'll show you something very close to a dynasty.
Hid behind one's own sense of being enlightened as one wishes, but much better listening skills in a constructive discussion is beneficial.
If all one wishes to do is pat oneself on his back...just invest in a back scratcher instead.
